The use of social media platforms has created new opportunities for people to connect and share information with one another. However, this has also increased the risk of identity theft and fraud. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the phenomenon of identity theft and fraud on social media by exploring the various methods used by perpetrators to gain access to personal information, the ways in which they utilize this information to commit fraud, and the impact that these crimes can have on the victim’s privacy. This paper will also examine the various strategies that individuals and organizations can use to protect their privacy on the internet from identity theft and fraud on social media. Ultimately, this paper aims to increase understanding of the risks of social media use and to provide practical recommendations for minimizing these risks.
