The Rise of Scammers:

Scammers exploit online platforms, using fake identities and manipulative tactics. They contact posing as company representatives to extract sensitive information or engage in fraudulent transactions.

Financial Scams:

The most common thing scammers do is trick people into making payments for fake services or memberships. They promise exclusive opportunities, upgraded listings, or certifications, demanding immediate payment. Once paid, they vanish, leaving victims with no service and financial loss.

Empty Package Fraud:

Beware! Scammers deceive businesses by delivering empty packages. Pretending to be suppliers or partners, they request payment for a large order. However, the packages arrive empty or filled with worthless items, causing significant financial harm.
