A new report by the European Consumer Centre Network (ECC-Net) investigates the scams faced by consumers when shopping online. The report focuses on fraud in cross-border e-commerce and what consumers can do to protect themselves from online fraud.

"12% of internet users across the EU have already experienced online fraud, and 8% have fallen victim to identity theft. The highest figures of internet users that say they have experienced online fraud are in Poland (18%), Hungary (17%), Malta (16%) and UK (16%), while respondents in Greece (3%), Slovenia (6%) and Spain (7%) are least likely to have experienced online fraud."
