I’m leaning towards non-delivery of goods since it seems to happen a lot in online shopping, but I could be wrong.

Auction fraud seems less common to me, but I guess it could still be significant. I feel like I’ve seen more about identity theft lately.

From what I've read, identity theft is definitely the number one type of online fraud. Criminals can use stolen personal information to open accounts, make purchases, and cause all sorts of financial damage. That's why it's so important to be vigilant about protecting your identity online.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know online fraud is a big problem, but I'm not sure which type is the most common. I'll have to review my notes and try to remember what we covered in class about the different types of fraud.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. Identity theft, non-delivery of goods, credit card fraud, and auction fraud are all major types of online fraud. Based on what I know, I'd say identity theft is probably the number one type, as it's the most widespread and can lead to a lot of other fraudulent activities.
