What are some common online scams and fraud schemes to be aware of?

### REPLY:
One common online fraud scheme is the Nigerian Prince scam, where individuals receive emails claiming that a wealthy Nigerian prince needs help transferring a large sum of money out of the country and promises a share of the fortune in return. Another scam is the pyramid scheme, where individuals are encouraged to recruit others and invest money, with the promise of high returns. These scams can be lucrative if executed properly, but they are illegal and can lead to severe legal consequences if caught.
