Internet fraud is a current epidemic that rakes in billions of dollars a year (US$7.1 billion in 2007 according to the Centre of American Progress). The proliferation of Internet usage in the late 1990s made it an attractive medium for fraud by enabling a worldwide reach in the cover of anonymity. The purpose of this website is to provide a web resource for online fraud prevention, supported by knowledge engendered from applied research.

Online fraud is a problem that threatens to grow with the increasing reach and adoption of the Internet, while being responsible for stifling the growth of Internet business. E.g. popular innovations such as Google, PayPal, and eBay are vehicles for fraud.
