Phishing scams: Scammers send phishing emails or create fake websites that look like legitimate websites. They then trick people into revealing their personal information, such as their credit card or social security number.
Advance-fee scams: Scammers claim they need money upfront to cover shipping costs or other fees. However, they never deliver the product or service.
Fake product scams: Scammers sell counterfeit or knockoff products as genuine products and reap the profits from the sale.
Overpayment scams: In this scenario, a scammer might claim to be from a reputable company and tell the victim they’ve been overcharged for a product or service. They will then ask the victim to provide their bank account information or credit card number to refund the "overpayment".
