Financial Crimes!!!

This would include cheating, credit card frauds, money laundering etc.

To cite a recent case, a website offered to sell Alphonso mangoes at a throwaway price. Distrusting such a transaction, very few people responded to or supplied the website with their credit card numbers. These people were actually sent the Alphonso mangoes.

The word about this website now spread like wildfire. Thousands of people from all over the country responded and ordered mangoes by providing their creditcard numbers. The owners of what was later proven to be a bogus website then fled taking the numerous credit card numbers and proceeded to spend huge amounts of money much to the chagrin of the card owners.
