The Internet provides endless opportunities for selling products, with sales of everything from t-shirts to toys, calendars to collectibles. If a '''scam''' is involved, the item you purchased online may never be delivered or may not be as advertised. Or you may be asked to pay an <span class="noglossary">advance</span> fee and receive nothing. The Internet also provides opportunities for scammers to steal your identity and your money.
