Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong. The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements. A fraud can also be a hoax, which is a distinct concept that involves deliberate deception without the intention of gain or of materially damaging or depriving a victim., Online Crime Is Real Crime, Scam Avoidance, Married Scam Victims, Internet Infidelity, Scam Victim Divorce

For over one month a particular scammerScammer A Scammer or Fraudster is someone that engages in deception to obtain money or achieve another objective. They are criminals that attempt to deceive a victim into sending more or performing some other activity that benefits the scammer. claiming to be Stjepan Hauser has been trying every which way for me to pay a fee to his management to meet me. Every time I ask a question I either get no answer or some elaborate lie that is made up. He wanted $2,000 to meet me. Could not give me a video or audio chat and wanted to come to the US to meet me. Sight unseen I was afraid to meet anyone I had not seen, much less give him $2,000 for the privilege. This guy went from telling me he is a millionaire and could buy property but had no personal credit card, which credit you need to buy property, to wanting to come to the US for vacation although he had no money. No, I could not pay for his fee and his trip, too.
He got upset when I blocked him on Hangouts but he went to alot of trouble to keep me hanging in there. I finally had enough and stopped it for what I hope is the last time. I have researched all these scammer-imposterImposter An impersonator is someone who imitates or copies the behavior or actions of another. There are many reasons for impersonating someone, such as: part of a criminal act such as identity theft, online impersonation scam, or other fraud. This is usually where the criminal is trying to assume the identity of another, in order to commit fraud, such as accessing confidential information or to gain property not belonging to them. Also known as social engineering and impostors. Hauser sites and they keep coming from Instagram daily. My list is now about 162 fake site. I don’t know why Facebook allows anyone to open a site under the guise of Hauser’s official site, whether they are fan sites or not. His name is being defamed, and I know he is a hard-working entertainer who cares about his fans.
I have realize that scammers are networking and are working together for example on Facebook messenger the caller may be answering from another scammerScammer A Scammer or Fraudster is someone that engages in deception to obtain money or achieve another objective.
