Internet Fraud Numbers Up For 2008
We all purchase items, do online banking, pay our bills, apply for credit and all sorts of other tasks each day through the internet. Companies like ours work with trying to connect those on the intenet looking for services, with those that can provide that service. Unfortunately, no one, including Leadpile Lead Exchange, is 100% safe from online fraud activity. According to internet news,“Sophisticated computer fraud schemes continue to flourish as financial data migrates to the Internet.” It appears a lot of this increased fraud is directly related to the e-commerce industry. Everyone and anyone is buying their products online while supplying their credit card information. Groups such as The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) partner up with agencies such as the FBI to help monitor internet fraud. However, 2008 saw a 33% spike in the the number of complaints received versus the year before.
We all know the internet is the wave of the future, but how are we all going to maintain consumer safety with such a massive conglomerate as the internet? Is there really a way to be totally safe on the internet? Sadly, fraud is not the only issue the internet is dealing with. Children and young adults are using the internet as a means of socializing and even “bullying”/harassing others. I am thinking schools will need to incorporate internet communication skills and proper etiquette to help with teaching children proper ways to utilize the internet. This might help prevent some of the fraud and other problems the internet is facing. Educate kids at a young age to help define the future of the internet.
This is unpreventable, but many tactics in the LeadPile exchange are being used to do secure the safety of the consumer and business experience. LeadPile is supported by VeriSign and has a verification process to ensure that the consumer or business has access to the account. In addition LeadPile contacts all of the buyers and sellers by phone to assist and verify the account.
Any online business should take drastic measures to assure the safety and security of the client and offer the end user the best online secured experience they’ve ever came across.

2If computer fraud numbers have increased in 2008, I don’t want to imagine what will happen in 2009. Internet users are more and more, the technology is developing, and therefore the methods of theft, and also the economic crisis will push internet fraud forward.
3I agree with you that it is kinda scary to imagine what could happen with fraud and the internet. Education I think is something that can help people to learn and understand how cautious we all need to be with our secure information.
4What`s really cruel is that internet fraud may appear under different contexts, as online shopping, education, and many others.
5If you ask me, the number of internet fraud cases will rise even more in 2009 and further, because of the economic crisis. It will have a great impact, a negative one, unfortunately.
