Advance Fee Scams
Advance fee scams typically involve a promise of a significant financial return in exchange for an upfront payment. The scammer convinces the victim that they need to pay fees to release future winnings or inheritances.
Romance Scams
Romance scams occur in online dating platforms where scammers build fake profiles to establish emotional connections with victims. Once trust is established, they will ask for money under various pretexts, such as medical emergencies or travel expenses.
Tech Support Scams
Scammers impersonate technical support representatives, often claiming to work for well-known companies. They trick victims into believing their computers are infected with malware and offer to "fix" the issue for a fee, often accessing the victims' computers remotely.
Lottery and Sweepstakes Scams
In these scams, victims receive notifications that they have won a lottery or lottery-related prize, but must first pay taxes or processing fees to claim their winnings.

Fake Charities
Scammers create fake charities, especially in times of crisis or natural disasters, to solicit donations from compassionate individuals. These scams prey on empathy and goodwill.
- Example: Victims receive emails or social media posts asking for donations to help victims of a disaster, with the funds going directly to the scammer.
Shipping Scams
Shipping scams often involve online marketplaces or auction sites. Scammers sell items that don’t exist, tricking buyers into paying upfront for goods that are never delivered.
- Example: A fake listing on an auction site appears legitimate, prompting the buyer to make a quick purchase without proper verification.
Business Opportunity Scams
These scams promise victims lucrative business opportunities with minimal effort, often requiring hefty upfront fees to join a program or buy into a franchise.
- Example: A scammer might promote a work-from-home scheme that promises significant income, requiring an initial investment for materials or training.

- Financial Losses: Victims often lose significant amounts of money, sometimes their life savings.
- Emotional Toll: The feeling of betrayal and shame can lead to anxiety, depression, and a loss of trust in others.
