What are some common online scams to be aware of?

### REPLY:
One common online scam is the Nigerian Prince scam, where scammers claim to be a wealthy individual from a foreign country who needs help transferring a large sum of money and promises a significant reward in return. In reality, they are attempting to trick victims into sending them money or personal information. Another scam is the advance-fee fraud, where scammers ask victims to pay a fee upfront to access a promised financial benefit that doesn't actually exist. These scams can be highly lucrative for scammers, but they are illegal and can result in criminal charges if caught.
