I launched this Blog in 2014 to address the onslaught of Online fraud as we all learned to work faster and smarter online. That trend burgeoned a general willingness for us all to manage our entire lives online - with most of us now running all our transactions, our banking & finance, our weekly food shopping we are even buying cars online post-Covid all on our laptops, tablets and smartphones -
Enter stage left the Cyber criminal, The Scammer and there have been some audacious scams carried out for some monumental amounts of money.
