Online deception is growing: More people are falling prey to sophisticated online scams. Americans reported losing more than $550 Million Dollars to Internet fraud last year; more than twice as much as 2008, more than 336,000 complaints. Some of the most common frauds are paying for items that are never delivered, and also making a small payment to receive a windfall that of course never arrives.
