Modern technologies are being used to steal money from individuals and businesses. Although the penalties for wire fraud are severe, the challenge arises in locating and prosecuting guilty parties. The situation can be further complicated if the wire fraud is conducted across international boundaries.
The new report is designed to educate the internet, smartphone, computer, radio, and landline users what actions are needed to combat these illegal schemes. Wire fraud is defined as “an act of using technologies including the internet, SMS and phone systems to defraud an individual or business of property”.
The primary objective of wire fraud is to steal money from a business or individual. This is accomplished by using pictures, signs, signals, and words to brainwash and manipulate the intended victim. There are many forms of wire fraud including telemarketing, phishing, catfishing, vishing, and smishing, malware and email fraud.
Email fraud includes sending an email to an individual or business that leads the reader to believe they have received a great sum of money. The way this is accomplished is to manipulate the reader to give some type of information to the criminal that will compromise their security. Often by using urgency, the criminals will motivate the victim to send the money immediately in exchange for the supposed reward, loan, prize or inheritance.
Some of the common email schemes are spoofing, defamatory, bombing, and the sending of malicious codes. This report recommends one never responds to any email that appears to be suspicious. This report gives tips to avoid wire fraud including an extensive list of warning signs.
