Alissa Atkinson reports on nine online scams used by scammers to con Americans out of millions.
The scammers are so successful is because of the high number of unsuspecting victims and because of the amount of information available on the web.
“The problem now is that so much information is available on the Internet,” FBI spokesman Richard Kolko told FOXNews.com. “Before [scammers] might have known your name. Now they [can access] your name, address, place of employment and parents’ names, because it is all readily available.
“Everyone is a target,” said Kolko. “Whether you’ve been affected directly by the scams or not, everyone in this country is affected,” he said, pointing out that it drives up retail prices across the board.”
