Special Quiz By Government To Test Your Knowledge About Online Financial Frauds

Financial fraud is a big business, accounting for an estimated $20 billion in direct losses each year globally. Industry analysts believe that this amount is substantially higher because businesses cannot adequately detect and measure losses due to fraud.

The significant surge in scams has made headlines around the world, with crooks employing a variety of more sophisticated strategies to exploit individual and organisational vulnerabilities.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, US consumers lost $3.3 billion to fraud in 2020, with approximately $1.2 billion lost only to imposter schemes.

Countries and businesses felt similar consequences all around the world.
