TCA - Timeshare Scams & Fraud
We are processing your paperwork is the latest scam to avoid the law a new Every crook and his dog is jumping on the Holiday Club scam bandwagon.
http://www.timeshare.org.uk/scams.html

Extractions: HOME "We understand that you have a timeshare. Do you want to rent it or sell it? - we are the experts" says the smoothie on the 'phone. You like what you hear so the conversation moves forward "But we will need your card number/pin number/account number/mothers maiden name etc. to be able to pay you when the deal is done". You, being a sucker, fall for this and are surprised to get a call from your card company/bank a few weeks later saying that an attempt to remove a large amount from your account is being held pending your confirmation. This is "Indentity Fraud", using timeshare owners lists, which is growing even faster that timeshare fraud. A friendly voice on the 'phone offers to help you get back the money promised by a cash back scheme. The friendly voice says that their "legal expert" will ensure that you get back all the money - but to meet him you must go to Tenerife. But they will happily arrange for you to be put up for a weeks holiday at their expense.
Catching Online Traders In A Web Of Lies
An article describing the growing problem of internet stock fraud including recent pump and dump scams.
http://www.fmew.com/archive/lies/

Extractions: Todd S. Corey In the age of the Internet, the wake of one the most vigorous bull markets in recent history, and the heady aftermath of rapid market fluctuations, more and more ordinary people rush to open Internet brokerage accounts with hopes of reaping gains at low commissions-trades as low as $8.99. However, the increased potential for large returns so too increase the possibility of Internet stock fraud. The Internet, the same medium which broke down the barriers to trading stocks also broke down some of the barriers to protect traders from securities fraud. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the United States agency charged with, among other things, protecting investors and maintaining integrity of the securities markets, has spent almost seventy years developing techniques against securities fraud, for the protection of the investing public. However, an increasing number of stock fraud cases over the past two years have raised questions as to whether the securities laws and the SEC's regulations are fine-tuned enough to combat this new, high tech wave of stock fraud. In efforts to calm the fear of investors, the SEC has been scrambling to catch-up and enforce the traditional rules to curb Internet stock fraud. This article primarily focuses on one of the more common Internet stock manipulation schemes: "pump and dump," and analyzes this scheme within the Section 10b and Rule 10b-5 context, by examining recent Internet stock fraud cases using the classic "pump and dump" scheme.

(ARA) - Online shopping can be the best of all worlds: wider selections and bigger bargains that can be purchased from anywhere, at anytime. But while the majority of Internet merchants are honest and trustworthy, there is always an underlying risk when buying online. And why shouldnt consumers be scared? Last year, the Federal Trade Commission received tens of thousands of complaints about Internet shopping crimes. The issues ranged from undelivered products and gross misrepresentation of merchandise to identity theft and fraudulent e-commerce sites. Worse yet, the victims had little opportunity for recourse. -More- Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Complaint Form This couldn't be easierfill out the form online and send it!

How To Avoid Scams And Fraud
Learn how to avoid Internet fraud, scams and get rich quick schemes packaged as legitimate work opportunities.
http://www.webmomz.com/Business-Articles/avoiding-scams.shtml

Extractions: "If you are looking at employment or business opportunities online, watch out for scams," Tamsevicius says. "Many get-rich-quick schemes are cleverly packaged, making it hard to sift legitimate work opportunities from the swindles." Common cons include Nigerian letter schemes asking for money, pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, and "work at home" offers that involve stuffing envelopes or assembling crafts. Here are some tips for sidestepping scams: 1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Any offer that promises to make you rich overnight with a business that works while you sleep is a rip-off. Watch out if a company promises large profits for little or no work, or claims no experience is necessary. If anyone can do it, why should you pay to learn about it? For that reason, multilevel marketing (MLM) has gotten a bad rap. Granted, there may be some legitimate money-making programs out there, but there are also a large number of overhyped, overpromising, underdelivering scams too.

Extractions: MARINETTE, WISCONSIN Scams and Fraud Artists Many banks in Wisconsin have customers that have been the victims of scams and fraud artists. Hearing about the experiences of these victims is often frustrating because there is usually little the bank can do to mitigate the customer's loss after the fraudulent activity has already occurred. This Protective Bulletin will address many different scams that we are aware and give you tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of a scam or a fraud artist. The first four scam examples and tips were provided by a committee called "Triad" which works to help prevent the criminalization of older adults. Triad combines the resources of senior citizens, sheriffs, and police working together to provide on-going tips to senior citizens about confidence scams. Senior citizens are vulnerable to all kinds of confidence scams and groups because older adults typically spend more time at home than other age groups and are available to answer the door or telephone. Also seniors may be more trusting and susceptible than others, often considering scam artists as friends instead of people planning to dip into their life savings. An elderly man, residing in a rural area, was approached by a door-to-door salesman to have the trees in his yard trimmed for $1 a cut. He was startled by the bill of $5,300 for 12 hours work but felt intimidated and wrote the check which was immediately cashed. This bill amounted to about $450 per hour for the scammer. The victim later counted 411 cuts. An attempt has been made to recover his money, but it will be difficult.

The latest trend seems to involve the advanced fee formula. Victims have been asked to pay amounts ranging from $25 to thousands of Euros. It is claimed this money is for legal fees, taxes or any other reason they can make sound legitimate.
