ruthless criminals and international crime syndicates. We know a little
about phishing and the various internet scams, such as the Nigerian
scam and bogus bank e-mails asking you for your banking details, but
few of us realise exactly how the systems work and why it is so
important to protect ourselves from them.

It explaines the threats, how they work and, most importantly, how to
protect yourself against them.
