Beat the Fraudster: How to Easily Protect Yourself Online and Offline

Doug McAdam

Email protection, PayPal security, web browser attacks... how to prevent cybercrime and protect your digital self from being a target of scammers.

Not all frauds require your participation. Whilst scams require you to fall for their ruse, other frauds occur in the background completely without your knowledge or consent, such as identity theft.

Whilst millennials and the elderly are statistically at a higher risk, due to lack of life experience or technological advancements, fraudsters often actively target business owners aged between 30-60 as they often have better credit ratings. Even high-ranking police officers and fraud specialists have fallen victim. Anyone is susceptible because we all have at least one of the following: a bank account, debit/credit card, an email account, a smartphone, or a computer/tablet.

This book will demonstrate how to spot fraudulent emails, texts and phone calls as well as protocols you can use to make it harder for fraud to be perpetrated against you, letting the fraudster know that you are savvy to their schemes and not worth messing with.

Should your bank accounts or debit/credit cards be compromised there are also ways you can limit the damage by compartmentalising your banking structure and using multiple PayPal accounts - we'll explore all of this.

You never know when intruders may attempt to gain access to your digital world and wreak havoc. This book will help you prevent it and give you peace of mind, with simple, practical and cutting-edge tips.

"This book can be best described as the 'Fraud Bible' and can equip and empower readers with the ability to not become yet another statistic of fraud" - DS Marc Cananur, Celebrity Fraud Squad Detective Sergeant

"An excellent and practical book with everything you need in one place to protect you and your family from fraud and cyber-based criminality. Essential reading for everyone." - Stu Cavin, Detective Chief Inspector, Head of a Serious and Organised Crime Branch which included Fraud and Cyber units.
