The intentional deception of the general public by a group of companies, a single company or an individual is known as consumer fraud. Instances of consumer fraud have increased in the past few decades, aided largely by the growth of the Internet. The most widely recognized form of fraud is identity theft, which often involves credit card, bank, employment and phone or utilities fraud. It is estimated that in 2004, approximately 10 million Americans were victims of identity theft, resulting in approximately $5 billion in losses to consumers. Other common categories of consumer fraud include: Internet auctions, shop-at-home/catalog sales, Internet and computer services, foreign money offers, prizes/sweepstakes and lotteries, advance-fee loans and credit protection, business and work-at-home opportunities, and telephone services.
