There exist two type of hacking in the cyber world: hacking done by an individual and hacking done by a group in one single website name. In United States of America, there is a survey team which is responsible to take notice of spamming and illegal internet activities with the help of Federal Trade Commission. These Survey team has reported an increase of 34 % in the internet fraud since year 2004. Households’ online spookers’ complaints rate 3%, in the U.S., which means, nobody get away from these online nuisance leading to crime of fraud.

The hacker might pretend to be the part of that website you are active on that time but he could actually belong to any other website.

You can save your self from this bad situation by asking about the landline which is lawful. You should never cut and paste any link from the message into your internet browser. Mostly extending links are irregular and they may shift to website with highly extensive porn settings.

The need of the hour is to keep remember that web is the place of all good and all bad. You can never identify the authenticity of any web link in cyber world. Just remember that every body in this cyber world can pretend to be someone else so better not trust blindly because there is no use to cry after the damage is done
