A common online fraud scheme to be aware of is the "advanced fee fraud" or "419 scam." In this scheme, scammers typically target individuals through email or social media, promising large sums of money in exchange for a small upfront fee. They may claim to be a government official, a lottery organization, or a wealthy individual. However, providing sensitive personal information or sending money in such schemes can lead to financial loss and identity theft. It's important to be cautious and avoid engaging with such fraudulent activities.
