Internet Fraud Loss For 2007 is about $239 Million

This year dollar loss reported from Internet crime an all-time high in 2007 , according to the internet Crime Complaints Center's (IC3) 2007 Internet Crime report.

The IC3 serves to field complaints about online crime on behalf of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and the National White Collar crime Center.

The IC3 received 206,884 complaints in 2005 through its Web site, fewer than the number submitted in 2006 (207,492) , 2005 (231, 493), 2004(207, 449).

IC3 referrd 90, 008 complaints to the appropriate law enforcement authorities for investigation, most of which alleged fraud and financial loss. The dollar loss for reffered complaints totaled $239.09 million, with a median loss of $680 per complaint. This represents an increase over the 2006 total of $198.44 million.

Country by country, the United States had the most cyber criminals, with 63.2% , followed by the United Kingdom (15.3%) and Nigeria(5.7%)

It bears repeating that these number do not reflect overall Internet crime activity in theses in these countries. Rather,they represent statistic drawn specifically from the more than 90,000 IC3 complaints investigated.

E-mail was the most common means (73.6%) by which cyber criminals made contact with their victim, followed by Web pages (32.7%) , phone contact(18%) , and postal mail(10.1%)." The anonymous nature of an e-mail address or a Web site allows prepetratos to solicit a large number of victims with a keystroke," the report explains.

So we would be expecting more frauds right up more in the coming years.
