Answer to Question 1

Today, young people can use technology to harass, humiliate, threaten, and embarrass each other. These acts are called cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can include threats, sexual remarks, or pejorative comments transmitted on the Internet or posted on Web sites (social networking sites are often used for such postings). The perpetrator might also pose as the victim and post statements or media, such as photos or videos (often edited to cast the victim in an unfavorable light), that are intended to damage the victims reputation. Because the Internet increases both the intensity and reach of these attacks, they are much more likely to draw the attention of law enforcement officials than bullying activities in the physical world.

Answer to Question 2

In an advance fee fraud, the perpetrator offers to share the proceeds of some large payoff with the victim if the victim will make a good faith deposit or provide some partial funding first. The perpetrator then disappears with the deposit. In some online versions of this fraud, the perpetrator asks for identity information (bank account number, Social Security number, credit card number, and so on) and uses that information to steal the advance fee. Online advance fee frauds often victimize people who are less-sophisticated technology users and people who tend to trust unknown persons.
