Amazon Fraud – Man Charged £460,000
Online shopping has changed the landscape of commerce across the world. While the traditional high street shops die and “bedroom businesses” with few overheads prosper due to marketplaces such as Ebay, consumers are rewarded with bargains delivered directly to their door at the click of a mouse.
Yet online shopping – especially on Amazon – has its dangers. Cyber criminals often try to piggyback on the enormous amount of visitors that these websites receive daily, through phishing scams that either trick the users into giving login and payment data on fake pages or infect them with malware through bogus “voucher” offers.
