Fraudsters are individuals or groups who deceive others for personal gain, often through dishonest schemes. They may use various tactics, such as impersonation or manipulation, to trick victims into giving away money or sensitive information. Common types of fraud include identity theft, credit card fraud, and investment scams.
These deceptive practices can occur in many settings, including online platforms and in-person interactions. Fraudsters often target vulnerable populations, exploiting their trust and lack of awareness. Awareness and education about these tactics are essential for protecting oneself from becoming a victim of fraud.
