- Credit Card and Bank Account Fraud – Using someone else's credit card or debit card is used for unauthorized purchases
- Hacking – Exploiting an online computer system or gaining unauthorized access to a website through skill and unlawful tactics
- Internet Auction Fraud or Non-Delivery of Merchandise – Using an Internet auction site like eBay to sell an item online but not delivering the item when sold
- Internet Investment Fraud – Enticing people to invest in a fictitious company, for example, an online Ponzi or Pyramid scheme.
- Communications Fraud – Using Internet services such as wireless, satellite, or landline services without payment, or sharing copyrighted property such as movies and music without authorization through peer-to-peer software.
