Mass marketing fraud exploits telecommunications and other types of mass communications to contact and spam thousands of individuals. In modern times, the internet is the vehicle of choice among fraudsters. With it, they are capable of reaching millions of individuals all across the globe using spam emails, phony websites, and other methods. Mass marketing fraud is considered a federal crime when fraudsters attempt to get you to send over money or personal information for an empty promise of future prizes, products, or services that never come.
