We’ve moved!
For the last 4 years or so, Crime Online was hosted by Blogger. I decided to move the Blog to a self hosted Wordpress blog because of the improved management and control. Most of all I felt it would improve navigating and finding infomation for you.
If you have arrived here from one of the search engines, please use the search box to the right to find the entry you were looking for. The new blog index should be in search engines within the next couple of days.

The Internet has brought a whole host of new products and services in to our world. It has also enables us to contact people and friends almost instantly.
Unfortunately all of the innovations which we like to use are also used by unscrupulous people who make a living out of cheating us out of our money.
It is important that ordinary people over the world are able to recognise these messages and how the scams work. Armed with this kind of knowledge you do not fall for these stories.
All of the e-mails posted here are fraudulent or scam e-mails. If you get one, delete it. Believe me, it’s not worth the trouble answering it.
