Terence Watkins' "The Seven Scam Types: Mapping the Terrain of Cyber Crime: A Literature Review." This literature review is much more in-depth in that it connects each piece of literature wile giving relevancy to lie to the arguments contained.

This also helps the paper's main arguments by creating a logical, believable, and trustworthy framework to the connections and arguments the...
This is a rather mundane weakness, but one that exists none the less. Also, in the tight knit structure of the paper, some of the humanity in the analysis is lost. This is not to say that subjectivity and moral judgment are something to be missed in the paper, only the author should begin to explore the social implications for cyber crime from an outside perspective instead of using each reading as a reflection of the others.

In this scenario, "if a bad guy wants to take over an account, he'll have someone else speak in a different language in a different location, and that's all they do. Their expertise is calling financial institutions for social engineering" (Piazza 2006). According to Piazza (2006), cybercrime consists of any crime a person commits by using a computer or computer technology. He classifies various types of cybercrime into four
Cyber Crime Task Force "Are computer vulnerabilities growing faster than measures to reduce them? Carelessness in protecting oneself, tolerance of bug-filled software, vendors selling inadequately tested products, or the unappreciated complexity of network connectivity has led to…abuse…" (Lukasik, 2011). The evidence is overwhelming that cyber crimes are not only increasing each year, but the sophistication of the attacks is greater each year and the impacts of attacks are more severe each year
Part of the problem is that America's national crime reporting systems, such as the National Incident-Based Crime Reporting System and the Uniform Crime Report Program managed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in cooperation with thousands of U.S. law enforcement agencies, do not specifically identify or distinguish between many forms of online crimes. Nor do they effectively distinguish between traditional in-person forms of crime that are substantially facilitated
