Online Schemes Propagated by Rogue Websites
Phishing fraudsters use sophisticated tactics, including email messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, to collect personal information, such as usernames and passwords. They also commonly create dedicated websites that mimic popular online services, such as banks or retail stores and ask for your login credentials. If you believe you’ve encountered a phishing tactic, report it immediately and, if possible, block or delete the site from which it originated.
Another ofte-encountered tactic is the sale of counterfeit or fake goods. Fake items include luxury goods like watches, handbags, and jewelry, all appearing genuine but instead consisting of cheap knockoffs being falsely marketed with manipulated brand names – often at highly discounted prices.
Users also may land on sites promoting fake giveaways, supposedly as part of a loyalty program or a charity event organized by a well-known company. In these cases, the con artists try to convince users to provide personal details or pay bogus fees as a prerequisite for receiving the promised rewards. In reality, the prizes do not exist, and victims incur financial losses, privacy issues or both.
