3 Million UK Internet users defrauded
Aparently, of the 29 million internet users in the UK, 3 million of them have been defrauded through shopping online. Must of the frauds are very simple and I am quite suprised people fall for it for example, a woman intervied radio today who was one such fraud victims sold a mobile phone on eBay, the money was credited into her account, the winner as her to ship the phone to an address in Nigeria which she did, later she found out that the payment was made using stolen credit card.
