What are some common scams used in online gambling?

### REPLY:
One common scam used in online gambling is called "advance-fee fraud." In this scam, fraudsters pretend to be professional gamblers or insiders who claim to have access to guaranteed winning strategies or insider information. They will ask for an upfront fee or payment in exchange for sharing these secrets, but in reality, there is no such information or strategy. Another scam is called "identity theft," where scammers trick players into providing personal and financial information, which they then use to steal money or commit fraud.
