Criminal behavior comes in many forms and sometimes appears not to be criminal. Fraud, scams and identity theft are some crimes that may appear legitimate at first. Scams are often designed with the intention of looking legitimate. Some of the most common scams are: Work-at-Home, Fake Check, Vacation and Travel, or local online scams. Many scams rely on fraud as the primary tool of deception. El Dorado County provides 10 Ways You Can Avoid Fraud and a to-do list for victims of fraud. Identity theft tends to be the end result of scams and fraud, so El Dorado County also provides ideas to prevent identity theft. Contact the FBI, Fraud.org or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for more information, or to file a complaint.
