Product Description:
Credit Card Skimming, Investment Fraud, and Advance Fee Scams: Scammed (Enhanced DVD) Some of the most well-known scams continue to victimize thousands of people a year. Criminals have access to more illicit technology than ever, making it easy to gather sensitive personal data about their victims. Using devices known as credit card skimmers, a simple swipe is all it takes for all the data tied to a card to be stored for later use. Once scammers have this data they can wreak havoc on finances, destroying lives for years in their wake.
Not all scams are short and anonymous. Some fraudsters, such as the notorious Michael Holiday, take time to gain a victim's trust through charisma and often forged credentials. Once a rapport is established, they use this trust to get people to hand over their personal information under the guise of an investment scheme. Related to this is the Advanced Fee scam, wherein victims are promised huge sums of cash in exchange for a small up-front fee.
This episode of Scammed reveals that anyone can find themselves at the wrong end of a shady deal. Scam victims are often intelligent people who happen to fall for legitimate-looking services. Luckily, there are some simple tips and tricks to keep yourself safe from fraud. Some content may not be suitable for some audiences.
