What are some common online fraud schemes that people should be aware of?

### REPLY:
One common online fraud scheme is called "advance fee fraud." In this scheme, fraudsters request individuals to pay a fee upfront in order to receive a larger sum of money in return, such as an inheritance or lottery winnings. It is important to never provide personal or financial information to unknown individuals or pay any upfront fees, as these are clear indicators of a scam.
