How we can be the victims of internet crime?

Hello...

Have we ever think about this? We live in the age of possibilities. Not to say that all of these possibilities are good, because we all know that some of them are quite horrid. But, as always, we have to take the good with the bad. One aspect of technology that introduced a vast array of possibilities was the personal computer. Or should I say is the personal computer? There is still more yet to come. The outstanding advantage this technology offers us concerns the Internet. Suddenly everything was within our reach. No more writing letters on paper or driving to the bank to deposit a check. Home computers offer us unlimited conveniences. We can do all of our internet banking, we can contact people anywhere in the world within seconds, we could even play computer games against multiple opponents across the globe simaltaniously.

However, there is also a deep, dark, and dangerous side to these wonderous machines, which also concerns the web. Surely the phrase "Internet crime" is more than one occasion. Type in a search and you'll hear all about people who have had their bank accounts or paid for items they never received. Some people unlucky enough to be a victim of internet crime have even had their identity stolen. The question is; how we can be exposed to internet crime?...
