Warning! - Online Fraud Loss More Than Doubles The Internet Crime
Complaint Center (IC3), a partnership between the FBI and the National White
Collar Crime Center, recently released its 2009 Annual Report about
fraudulent activity on the Internet. Online crime complaints increased
substantially in 2009, according to the report. The IC3 received a total of
336,655 complaints, a 22.3% increase over 2008. And the total dollar loss
linked to online fraud was $559.7 million, up from $265 million the previous
year.
Peter Trahon,
Section Chief of the FBI's Cyber Division, says, "Computer users are
encouraged to have up-to-date security protection on their devices and
evaluate e-mail solicitations they receive with a healthy skepticism—if
something seems too good to be true, it likely is." In addition, be
suspicious of any unsolicited e-mail that asks for personal information, and
do not follow unsolicited links or respond to unsolicited e-mails. Reminder, Westelcom NEVER Asks For Your Personal Information Via Email
