In criminal law fraud is the same crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage people – usually to obtain property or servines unjustly. The term ‘Internet fraud‘ refers to any type of fraud sceme that uses one or more components of the Internet, sucha s chat rooms, e-meil, message boards or Web sites. So how should we deal with fraud?
Criminals use fraudulent emails (known as phishes) or pop-up Web pages that appear legitimate and are designed to deceive you into sharing personal or account information. The phishes often include logos of the legitimate companies, content from their Web sites, and the names of real employees. The Web site will try and look similar to the legitimate site in hopes of capturing your confidential information. Mail fraud occurs when scammers illegally intercept your mail or when you receive unrealistic offers. Use your spam filter. Many email services now have spam filters that minimize the amount of spam you receive. The filters can help you minimize the number of fraudulent emails in your inbox. Even if you do open a suspicious email, don't click on any links. By clicking on the links, you could unknowingly download a virus or spyware to your computer. Change your online passwords often. Be creative with your passwords – stay away from obvious passwords like year of birth. Include numbers and letters so passwords can't be easily guessed by others. Delete emails from unknown senders. It‘s necessary to be careful about giving out valuable personal data online. Criminals have been known to send messages in they pretend to be a systems administrator or Internet service provider in order to persuade people online that they should disclose valuable personal data. In general, you need to look carefully at online seller of goods or servines who wants you to send checks or money orders immediately to a post office box, before you receive the goods or servines you‘ve been promised.

Civil and public law
Actually, civil and public law are different. Civil law concerns disputes among citizens within a country, public law - between citizens and the state, or between two states. There also are differencies between the main categories of English civil law and public law. Contracts, torts, trusts, probate and family law are the main categories of civil law. Crimes, constitutional law and international law are the main categories of public law.
It goes without saying that civil and criminal procedures are not the same. An English court may force a defendant to pay a fine or to pay the legal costs of the prosecution. He can be sent to prison, too. In a civil court the defendant only should pay to the plaintiff. Criminal actions are started by the state, civil actions - by individuals. The guilt of a criminal has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt in a criminal action. But a plaintiff in a civil action is required to prove his case on the balance of probabilities.
Nevertheless there are many point of contact between criminal and civil law. Althoug the guilty defendant in a criminal case will not be found liable in a civil action about the same matter he will not avoid civil liability. Because the standart of proof in the civil case is lower than in the criminal case.

Lifelong Learning Strategy
I think people should be reliable, sociable and responsible. They should know what they want from their lives. Besides, they should communicate with each other, because only communicating enriches our lives and gives a point. Of course, we have learn much, because the knowledge help us to avoid mistakes. People also should not say any lie, because only truth is a good basic of life. It is really important to be yourself, to be honest. It is nessesary to love your life, yourself, the others. So I would like to say that the most important thing in life is to have a big heart.
