What is Computer & Internet
Fraud?
The term “Computer or Internet Fraud” refers to any type of
fraudulent scheme that uses one or more online services. These can
take place on programmes such as e-mail, chat rooms, forums or web
sites. Examples of “Computer / Internet Fraud” might include
identity theft, posing as someone else on the internet, credit card
schemes, investment schemes and violating copyright laws. These
actions are fraud because they are deliberate misrepresentations of
the truth.
