Well, actually, not only will it end, but should it end? Who would want to believe in something that is not only a fraud, but is also a very bad thing? I read a reply that was posted to a question about the Piso family creating Christianity which said that IF it is proven that they did create Christianity that it would be the end of it. That makes sense to me.

My best friend took his car ( which he still owed money on) into a used car dealership and they told him they would take his car pay it off and trade it in for a new one, he drove off the lot with a new car that day. They called him a month later and financed him for the car at a lower interest and a lower payment and to come and resign. So he did…. 30 days later he got a call saying that he now owns both his trade in and the new car. That means two cars and now two loans…. What laws are there agains this…. does he have any resitution on this ??? Does he need to hire a lawyer?

Millions of people have had their lives decimated while the money guys have gotten richer and richer. I’m not talking just about swindlers like Madoff, I’m talking about mortgage swindlers and AIG executives, bankers and traders, though the Madoff types should be included.

If we allot a dollar value to a human life, like forty thousand a year for fifty years, or whatever the median income is, for an average life of working, and count the theft of this sum, about two million dollars (or less!), as capital murder, do you think this might slow down the swindlers? Imagine a mortgage broker being charged not with fraud, but with murder. Imagine an AIG executive being charged with thousands of counts of manslaughter.

I think ANY crime involving a couple million or so should be considered as capital murder. Bernie Madoff would have been charged with about four thousand counts of manslaughter.

White collar crime destroys lives, leaves people homeless and unable to support their families, and prevents responsible parents from sending their children to college to provide their offspring with better opportunities. Our whole society suffers.

What do you guys think?
You guys miss the point. A human being works his entire life for "X" amount of income, which translates to food and clothing and shelter for his family. And, security for retirement. The person who takes the money essentially erases that.

So, the big robbers get treated like big shoplifters. But, they have stolen lives and security from hundreds, or thousands, or millions of people.

Our current recession was precipitated by a bunch of greedy thieves. Those of us who worked hard, honest lives have seen our homes taken and our marriages ruined, so that executives at AIG could get multimillion dollar bonuses.

And, these guys have driven the nails into the coffins of a lot of smart people who would otherwise have gone to college, but are now eking out minimum wage lives. They did not steal money. They stole a generation of folk who could otherwise advance the American dream.

They deserve capital punishment. Might make the next crew think twice, don’t you think?

After commiting identity theft in the UNited States for lets say 10 thousand dollars can you live in Canada without ever been bothered if yo uleave the US beofre beeing convicted or tried for teh crime. Will anyone come after you in Canada and can yo uever return to the UNited States or is that conisdred fleeing the jursidiction?

I am recently divorced from my ex husband because he committed adultery and had 2 children with another woman.When we went to court to decide child support . He had the other woman type a document saying he was paying her 0 dollars a month . So the judge factored this in and gave him credit. I recently found out that he was living with the woman at the time we went to court..He even went so far as to give me his old address . When he knows good and well he doesn’t live there. My children and I live 3 hours away. But this weekend my son stayed with him and his other family and slept on the couch. He has his mail being forwarded from his old address to a p.o. box. Can I have the child support case modifidied for fraud. I should have guessed when he told the judge he only wanted once a month visitation. That something was up.

got into a car accident. the guy hit my driver side rear tire, cracked the base above the wheel and scraped up both driver side doors. roughly could have been at most 00. i have pics from the scene. body shop takes it on sept. 20. insurance company looks at it, claims 7000 in damages. took pics. i had the police at the scene to take statement. i made a recorded statement to insurance co. my story doesnt match damages claimed. insurance paid body shop 7 g’s. they claim every time i call them that the car isnt ready b/c parts are on back order. nov 18th they say i can pick up the car at 7pm. at 7:19 i walked into body shop – in wide open space they are painting my whole car. no filter. they tell me to pick the car up tomorrow at 8pm (in the dark). next day, paint is chipping off my handle and gas tank. took it to a body shop for second opinion. was told a bunch of parts to my car have been filled with "mud" – some bonding. no parts were replaced. front and back bumper effed with. insurance co. said i have two options, either take it back to original shop and demand it fixed or sue them. they claim they already paid and have no more to do with the situation because it wasnt a body shop on their list. i was told it was. do i have a case? its clearly insurance fraud right? i mean why make a statement if they just disregard and proceed. no way was it 7000 worth. please someone who knows what they are talking about respond. thanks.

This theory is premised on unbridled greed carried out to its logical conclusion. First, a primer.
The Dow averages fell from their record lifetime highs within hours of Bush’s speech on tax cuts. It troughed amid growing concerns of corporate fraud. It’s rise from the bottom coincided with Americas invasion in Iraq in March of 2003. Corporate profitibility was sustained by massive deficit spending which financed the war. Huge profits flowed into corporate coffers. This all adds up to the looting of america.
Now, what will these capitalists do with their wealth? Will they use the proceeds to finance their next expansion?
I suspect that greed knows no bounds and they will not stop until they have totally bankrupted america. What will they then do? Will they take over another country far from the madness of the crowds in the North American cities, or can they live side by side with the sprawling masses? I suspect they have quietly been buying up land in South Africa.
draciron, great answer! Not a bit wordy either, The same facts I considered as well in posing my question. Any others to expand on this?

i accidentally logged into the phishing paypal site with my account, but i immediately changed my password. is there anything more that i should do to prevent the unusual?

I’m being charged with grand larceny in the 3rd. this is a huge mess. I used state health insurance to try to work through psychological issues. Now DSS is saying that my husband makes more money then stated on the application (and on his paystubs and on our tax return). because of this they are saying that all the benifits used are stollen and therefore they are charging me with larceny. I am going to be arrested on Thursday. i have a lawyer and I have had past arrests but no jail time. I live in NY. I’m 26 and have a 6 year old. Can my lawyer try to make a deal to avoid jail time? Any idea what I should logically expect to happen? If i go to jail my daughter will go to Pakistan and i’ll never see her again. I never meant to commit fraud, this is all very scary and my husband isn’t doing anything to help.

One tenant disappear without paying and living behind some belongings. A new tenant uses the identity of the past tenant to get cable service.
The new tenant get evicted and on the mail, is a bill for the first tenant of 742.00 (including the value of cable box 500.00) The second tenant used and pay the bills on the first tenants name, except in the last few months. I believe the first tenant does not know that. Can I make a police report on that or I will get in trouble since the house is mine and I just find out it now?

Given that the fraud was committed over a 2 to 3 year period?

I don’t have the smarts to work this one out exactly, but my instinct says – no.

Basically, the company who makes the new computer I have purchased – has gone under, I want to return it for repairs, and I obviously cannot, and I did not pay with a credit card, so I’m stuffed.

So what do you think?

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

What can one do if they are the victims of online identity fraud and libel?

I want to take legal action against someone I believe created a fictitious MySpace page using my name, my picture and my personal information. They even added friends and family members and e-mailed them pretending to be me; writing e-mails that insinuate terrible things. A family member that responded to the e-mails shared very private personal information. This phony MySpace page has been an active page for months – I’ve only found out about it now.

I’m not a law guru and internet law is so new that I’m unsure of what’s what. I know that my identity was stolen to get personal information and also as a means to defame my character. I have the e-mails which say malicious and untrue things.

I have a good idea who did this. However, how do I proceed if I want to take legal action? How do I track the IP address of the person who created the site? This is very distressing for me. Thanks for your suggestions!

state to investigate allegations of welfare fraud and child neglect?

What would be the proper course of action to find out if a lawyer mishandled or commited fraud in the estate of a 90 year old woman whose children now find there is no money where there once was over a million dollars just in the bank two years ago?
Also, the 90 year old mother still lives alone. The attorney will not talk to any of the children claiming client confidentiality. The mother will not show any bank statements to her children when she used to do. She says to leave the "nice man" (the attorney) alone.

My hubby received a one page-2 sided questionaire from Social Security that asked about events regarding his disability since 2007. They ask if he worked, if so how much earnings, any meetings with his doctor, any changes, any confirmation of disability. It had a deadline of by end of June 2009, and had his Social Security Number vertically emblazoned along the edge of the 2nd side.

Are you familiar with what document I am asking about?
Do you know what this is all about?
Is this Pres. Obama "cleaning house" of Social Security fraud?
Have you read of anything on this?

Please advise and thanks!

Hubby been disabled since Sept 2001; this is the first time he received such a notice…

this is complicated. during a show cause for failure to pay child support, the plaintiff intentionally refused to disclose many payments, also charged higher insurance rates than the actual rate, the defendant was found guilty. defendant did not appeal due to several reasons, attorney fees etc. After much research and recovery of payment documentation defendant just recently tried to have this issue heard in another related hearing but was told the issue was moot. Is there actually any way to recover this money that was not divulged during the show cause hearing,? Can I file theft charges? This has been a very complicated case and the plaintiff intentionally refused to reveal these payments. The money that was not divulged to the courts is a large sum and had these payments been made aware of to the courts, defendant would not have been found guilty. Is it possible to take my case to the states attorneys office? I really do NOT want this person to get away with the crimes they have committed. They are in the legal profession, have used their position to intentionally commit perjury, fraud, theft and malicious prosecution. I know it sounds outlandish but it is true, there are people in this world that have absolutely no respect for the honesty and integrity of the Courts and are so stuck on themselves and greedy they could care less about others freedom and sense of living. I do not have the money for attorneys. Or should I just figure they are only one of the millions that do this sort of thing in our court system everyday and forget about it? I appreciate all information from everyone, Thank You. In Maryland.

I dont know much about it, but can someone steal your identity with your drivers license or ssn or what?

There’s someone I know that was in a car accident a few months back, He was stating the other day that he was frauding the insurance co cuz he claimed that he hurt his back and said that he hopes that the claim hurries and gets settled cuz hes worried that they will find out that he had lied about his claim and they will get him for insurance fraud. Apparently his claim hasn’t been settled yet cuz he wants one amount and the insurance company wants to give him a lower amount. How can i go about finding out which insurance co that he is going against? This man is very ruthless, he really does deserve to be reported.

I have bad credit from medical bills. I always wanted a "credit card" come to find out someone opened a target card in my name- and charged a couple hundred dollars and now they are after me to pay them. I am wondering and I know this is wierd, but now I am more screwed….Can i try to negotiate with Target to get the card back? I want the target card, i’ll pay the bill. I think paying the 0 is worth it to have the card to actually use. i dont know how long it has been in collections, but when i moved here to my new place about 6 months ago i started to recieve phone calls and letters. Or is it better to just report it as fraud? what will that do to my credit? They said it wasnt an application that someone filled out. It was an offer on a reciept that i threw out offering the card with just a signature or something-which is odd. thanks in advance!

This is the second year that my ex has claimed both children on tax return. I have sole custody and never signed a release for exemption form for him to claim even one child. Now, I have sent all appropriate documents to IRS proving this , what can they do now to catch him and about how long should it take? Can they physically come after him?

I heard from my teacher that he has a friend that won a nice car and living room sets on the gameshow called The Price Is Right this was 2 years ago. He told us that when you win a certain things on that gameshow behind the scene without the people knowing you’ll be encountered with a lawyer telling you that you must pay for all those prize.

So I found a job on yahoo.com.

The employer gave me a # after a couple of e-mails discussing the validity of his business. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a scam or fraud since it was a work at home job over the internet that required access to the internet and a telephone.

His grammar wasn’t that great but, then again, my spelling wasn’t the best.

How do I use his DUNS # to verify that he is indeed a small business? Can DUNS #’s be exploited for scams? How else can I verify this employer isn’t a scammer? Like how can I make sure the payments for this work are legit? How do I make sure I get paid for a job like this? By the way, it’s a part time job. He says he lives in the UK and comes to the US every 5-6 months. His business does, and I quote, "organize[s] conference[s], seminars, trade shows with group of partners. [Censored for privacy] also engages in Marketing, Advertising, Consultancy and ForEx/Stock management."

Letters or words in brackets [] are edited by me to make it fit my wording. Is this legit? How can you tell?

When searching for a job, most sites warn you to stay away from work from home jobs and stuff like that. However, I do need a job and this part time job seems easy. He seems a bit more legit than a scammer at this point but I want to make sure 100% he’s for real and legit.

I have called and canceled my credit cards but what about my license and other id cards how can I prevent someone from stealing my identity?

Or is it only the basis for "physical" response on my part??

This lying, manipulative, Filipine trollop has taken me to the cleaners and now is destroying the relationship I have with my family members by sleeping with my brother!!

Since she entered into the relationship with me (initially online) with only the intention of STEALING as much money as she could from me (ESTAFA), married me only to obtain entry into the U.S.A. (Immigration Fraud). Moved out after finding out that she had already STOLEN all of my money, only to TARGET my brother to sleep with and "con" him now. ALL the while working here without a WORK PERMIT (or Conditional Residency). Files FALSE CHANGE OF ADDRESS Forms to interfere (and screen) MY mail!!! File several FRAUDULANT INSURANCE claims on my health insurance. FAIL to report all of her "illegal" income to the IRS (TAX FRAUD)……

USCIS has done NOTHING, in fact they have FAILED to keep me informed of her/our interview to remove the "conditional" sts.

My husband and I do not live together but are not divorced, he is claming to government agencies that out children live with him and not with me. He also lives with his pregnant girlfriend and they both have an income but does not report her. I do not know how to prove to these agencies that my children live with me. I recieve no government help but I do have a full time job. He has applied for food stamps and government insurance and has changed the childrens addresses at thier doctors office and school to his. When i try to change them back they say they need proof. I do not want to keep him from seeing his children. I am also not looking to get the benifits for myself, but I do not believe it is fair that he claims to the goventment that he is the sole parent. Is court the only way for me to get this straightened out?
