Abstract The quick rise in digital interactions and online transactions has made it easier for online fraud schemes to flourish, leading to large financial losses and compromised personal information. The purpose of this study is to investigate how internet fraud methods, such as phishing, identity theft, and social engineering attempts, are changing. To investigate the strategies, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) utilised by online fraudsters, a mixed-methods approach comprising surveys and a Questionnaire will be utilised. Data was collected from a sample of 295 respondents, selected through random sampling to ensure diversity in age, education, and digital exposure. Furthermore, this study will examine the efficacy of current preventative measures such as digital literacy initiatives, anti-phishing software, and two-factor authentication. This paper aims to show internet awareness and literacy rate among users. It's also covered effective preventive strategies related to online fraud. The results of the study also help to create a thorough framework for stopping online fraud, offering guidance to legislators, law enforcement, and anybody else looking to safeguard themselves against online fraud.
