It was assumed that usual victims of fraud and mass-marketing scams are our elders. However, according to research, mass-market fraud operators are targeting young or teens especially in Canada. Indeed, study shows that rates for those under 30 years of age was highest with regard to health-product scams and unsuitable merchandise fraud. We know the fact that Canadians between 18 and 29 are well-educated and computer-literate but still are quite susceptible to fraud related to e-commerce.
