"Web scams" or web site scams are the online scams that are associated with websites. There are many faces of web scams such as click fraud, international modem dialing fraud, internet dating scams, phishing, pharming, overseas purchase scams, stock market manipulation schemes etc.

Click Fraud: An affiliate marketing scam, one of the increasing internet scams. In click fraud advertising network affiliates force paid views or clicks to ads on their own websites via Spyware. These affiliates are paid commission on the cost-per-click that was artificially generated.

International Modem Dialing Fraud: This is a type of internet fraud in which some websites carrying adult content trick consumers to pay to view the content on their web site using international dialing. These websites usually advertise that they are "free" and needs no credit card ... and prompt the user to download a "viewer" or dialer' to allow them to view the content.

Once the program is downloaded it disconnects the computer from the Internet and proceeds to dial an international long distance or premium rate number, charging anything up to $7 or $8 per minute. An international block is recommended to prevent this fraud.

Internet Dating Scams: It's one of the hottest internet scams, which you meet people on the online dating websites, chatting, or instant messaging. These people generally live overseas, and you get infatuated with them by just looking their pretty and sexy photos. Soon you make friend with these gals/guys, and you feel like meeting them in real life.

These people usually ask for some money to buy airplane tickets to come to you, but once you transfer money via Western Union, these people disappear completely.

Phishing: It's a kind of social engineering that involves deceitfully acquiring sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by pretending to be a trustworthy person or business with a real need for such information.

Pharming: It is like exploiting DNS server software, which allows a hacker to get the Domain name for a site, and to redirect the web traffic of that website to another web site.

Overseas Purchase Scams: These scammers launch fake auctions, or advertise the sale of high priced items like watches, computers or high value goods with very low price. When they receive the payment but never deliver the goods, or they deliver poor quality, counterfeit, refurbished or used goods.

Stock Market Manipulation Schemes: Fraudsters use these "online investment schemes" to manipulate securities prices on the market, for their personal profit. Stock market manipulation schemes use various tricks such as rumors, pump-and-dump schemes, short-selling or "scalping" schemes etc.
