The Cycle Of Internet Fraud

Internet Fraud Watchdog seeks out people and organisations that target consumers, identifies fake and misleading websites and gathers data on those committing fraud, such as their identity and home address, before shutting down their activities.

Fraud takes place in very specific ways, and at Internet Fraud Watchdog we can break the cycle of fraud against your business by working with the relevant parties to remove elements of fraud and break, or at minimum disrupt, the cycle. This frustrates the activities of fraudsters and effectively beats them at their own game.

The diagram below shows the elements that form the cycle of fraud. Remove any of these elements and the cycle is broken.
