In the context of developing technologies, the risk of losing money through deception or abuse of trust increases significantly. In the modern world, scammers are finding more and more sophisticated ways to illegally seize other people's money. The article examines modern methods of committing fraud, analyzes measures to combat these crimes, puts forward proposals for updating and improving methods and measures aimed at countering modern methods of fraud. Methodology. Analysis and synthesis were chosen and used as theoretical methods of scientific research. Purpose. The work is aimed at studying and analyzing measures and methods of protection against fraudsters, identifying possible ways to legally solve problems. Results. Proposals for updating and improving methods and measures aimed at countering modern methods of fraud against the population. One of the most important measures to counteract the commission of fraudulent actions against the population, as we believe, is a whole range of various measures aimed at preventing such criminal actions. Preventive actions can be divided into several types: actions aimed at the population itself, work with citizens and actions that constitute technical protection. For example, special attention should be paid to informing and teaching financial literacy to the younger generation (students, schoolchildren), since in the near future this particular group of the population will become the most solvent.
