Scammers sometimes buy login information on the dark web. By doing that, the scammer can learn login information, including access to your online banking service. But in the process, malicious software is installed onto your device which records your keystrokes.
Scammers may use ‘phishing’ techniques by sending you a link that you’re persuaded to click on to download a gaming file. Most commonly, online gaming scams are used to steal personal data. Scams take many forms, and some even go as far as being vehicles for money laundering from other crimes. There are an ever-growing range of online gambling games and opportunities. Scammers are attracted to gambling sites not just to find individuals they can steal from, but also so that they can defraud gambling companies too. Of course, it’s all over the internet too. Gambling scams don’t just happen through betting shops.
