One common online scam that people should be aware of is the advanced fee fraud, also known as the "Nigerian Prince scam." In this scam, individuals receive an email from someone claiming to be a wealthy individual or a government official who needs help transferring a large sum of money out of their country. The scammer requests the victim's bank account details and asks for an upfront fee to facilitate the transfer. However, this is a fraudulent scheme, and providing personal information or sending money will result in financial loss.
