Abstract

Technology development has an impact on various legal aspects in the world. Trade transaction was one of the aspects that developed rapidly when the internet began to be introduced. Trade transactions are no longer limited by areas at this time and no longer have to confront the parties directly. Accessibility of trade through an electronic system for the community can improve the community`s economy, but also faces the act of cheating (fraud) from irresponsible parties. Fraud on e- commerce is making it hard for consumers who can't do anything to ask for responsibility, because often, there is no proof. The act of fraud that is occurring harms the consumers, and there is the emergence of issues concerning legal protection for consumers and the responsibility of an e-commerce company of the act of cheating (fraud). Arrangements related to e-commerce which were widespread in some different legislation made the problem with the regulation of synchronisation of e-commerce, and it needs adjustment with the regulation of International law, as an attempt to create protection and certainty while doing transactions on e-commerce. Fraud prevention and tackling on e-commerce have some issues, because of former legal regulations set about the real legal actions and they must adapt to something that is virtual. E-commerce has become a part of national and international commerce, so regulation of the e-commerce industry has to be comprehensive. The content is broad and related to the importance of harmonisation and regulatory unification on national and international law and it needed review from various arrangements regarding fraud actions of E-commerce.
