Email Frauds are a type of cybercrime in which criminals use email to deceive people into giving them money or personal information. There are many different types of email frauds, but some of the most common include:

Phishing emails: These emails appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank, credit card company, or government agency. They often contain a link that, when clicked, will take the victim to a fake website that looks like the real website. Once the victim enters their personal information on the fake website, the criminal can steal it.

Spear phishing emails: These emails are targeted at specific individuals or organizations. They often contain information that is specific to the victim, such as their name, job title, or company. This makes the emails more likely to be convincing.

Business email compromise (BEC) scams: These scams target businesses by impersonating a legitimate vendor, customer, or employee. The scammer will send an email that appears to be from the real person, requesting a payment or transfer of funds.

Malware attachments: These emails contain attachments that, when opened, will install malware on the victim's computer. The malware can then steal the victim's personal information, financial information, or even lock them out of their computer.

Ransomware attacks: These attacks involve encrypting the victim's files and then demanding a ransom payment in order to decrypt them.
