New to the third annual list are risky payphone and ATM investments, often sold by independent life insurance agents, and so-called “callable” certificates of deposit sold to older Americans despite their 10- to 20-year maturities. “Our volatile markets have investors, particularly older Americans dependent on predictable interest income, looking for safe havens,” said Deborah Bortner, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and Washington State’s director of securities. “So scammers are pitching their investments as low risk and high return. That’s an impossible combination. The higher the return, the higher the risk.” Securities fraud costs Americans billions of dollars each year, state securities regulators estimate.

    Extractions: Home Previous Page The Internet serves as an excellent tool for investors, allowing them to easily and inexpensively research investment opportunities. But the Internet is also an excellent tool for fraudsters. That's why you should always think twice before you invest your money in any opportunity you learn about through the Internet. This alert tells you how to spot different types of Internet fraud, what the SEC is doing to fight Internet investment scams, and how to use the Internet to invest wisely. The Internet allows individuals or companies to communicate with a large audience without spending a lot of time, effort, or money. Anyone can reach tens of thousands of people by building an Internet web site, posting a message on an online bulletin board, entering a discussion in a live "chat" room, or sending mass e-mails. It's easy for fraudsters to make their messages look real and credible. But it's nearly impossible for investors to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Hundreds of online investment newsletters have appeared on the Internet in recent years. Many offer investors seemingly unbiased information free of charge about featured companies or recommending "stock picks of the month." While legitimate online newsletters can help investors gather valuable information, some online newsletters are tools for fraud.

Within minutes it consumed the building's upper 3 stories. Firemen were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders weren't tall enough. People watched in horror as workers jumped to their death. The final toll was 146 people 123 of them women. It follows the waves of Jewish and Italian immigration that inundated New York in the early years of the century, supplying garment factories with cheap, mostly female labor. Dickensian work conditions led to a strike a coalition of socialists, socialites, and suffragettes took on bosses, police, and magistrates.

    Extractions: Warn a friend about the Nigerian Scam! Nigerian, or "419", scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. The scam messages can also arrive via fax or letter. The messages generally claim that your help is needed to access a large sum of money, usually many millions of dollars. In fact, this money does not exist. The messages are an opening gambit designed to draw potential victims deeper into the scam. Those who initiate a dialogue with the scammers by replying to the scam messages will eventually be asked for advance fees supposedly required to allow the deal to proceed. They may also become the victims of identity theft. The so-called "Nigerian scam" is one of the longest running that I know about. In fact, it predates the Internet and email. The scams are also known as "419 scams" after the appropriate part of the Nigerian criminal code. The scammers still use surface mail and faxes as well as email. There are a great many versions of this scam. Although many originate out of Nigeria, hence the generic term "Nigerian scam", it is certainly not only Nigerian based criminals that send them. In spite of the longevity of this type of scam and the large amounts of publicity that it has received, many people around the world are still being conned out of substantial sums of money. I regularly receive enquiries from Internet users who have received Nigerian scam emails and do not know what they are about.
