I have a "sister in law" who really needs to be turned in for fraud. she collects social security disability benefits for a bad back. Yet she goes to work with my brother every day 5, 6, 7 days a week installing carpet and doing heavy work around the house ( I know about the house work because my dad lives with them and he tells me and he is %100 honest) I also have pics of her dancing the night away at my other brothers wedding. if she can do all that then for sure she can get a real job and does not deserve my tax money!!! she only works for my brother off the books since it is his own private company. and she beats my brother…yep gave the poor man a black eye and throws things at him…but he would never turn her in….what can I do????
It is my tax money the woman never worked on the books a day in her life

I have heard that there is a way to make it harder for credit cards to be opened in my name by adding a pin or something to my ssn. My mom has stolen my brother’s identity but he didnt press charges and now I am affraid that it will happen to me.. Is there something I can do to help prevent this?? Please help!

Whenever my brother wants to send something, whether it’s to someone in the city or across the country, he puts the sending address on the To: AND the From: with NO postage and pops it in the mail. He’s sent whole packages across the country to our family in Michigan (we’re in AZ). I always am afraid that he’s going to be charged with mail fraud. His parcels and letters ALWAYS end up right where he wants them too.

Hello,

On the 12th of this month, my brother accessed my online banking and transfered 100 pounds in to his account.

I had given him my password back in May 2009 but right after changed it, In October 2009 I changed it back to that password because I got through changeing passwords on everything.

I reported this to my bank and to the police.

I got a letter from the banks fraud team today saying that they will not refund it because I gave my password to a 3rd party, even though I changed it pretty much twice.

Surely this is illegial regardless, I am tempted to take legal advice about this, if ts fraud in the law’s eyes, surely it should be with the bank.

I really could do with some advice.

Thanks, Ross
He took it without my permission, to feed his drug habbit.

I’m nervous because my brother is going to court in a week and is suing for full custody of his children and we reside in a state that is known for having a sexist bias that favors mothers, New York State.
So, I’m wondering if people who have been through custody disputes can shed some light on whether they think is enough here for my brother gain full custody of his children.
The children have been in his temporary custody for about the past week or 2 when the judge issued the temporary custody arrangement with the belief that the children’s mother, who threatened to slit her wrist after an argument about housework, was deemed unstable. She is however allowed supervised visitation until they go to court.

Other information about this case and the children’s mother:
- The children’s mother has no stable place of residence. She’ll be living at my parents’ second home, which she shared with my brother, until the end of the 30 days that she is allotted before my parents can evict her.
- She has no steady income to provide for her children. She hasn’t held a steady job for more than 3 or 4 weeks at a time and hasn’t worked in over two years. Instead, she has lived off my brother for the last two years. He, on the other hand, has always held a steady job. She says that the reasons that she can’t work are due to anger problems and scoliosis of her back. she even tried to get a doctor to fill out paperwork saying she is medically unable to work due to these problems. The doctor refused, saying that medically there is no reason she can’t work.
- She dropped out of high school at 16 and therefore, sets a poor example for her children. my brother completed high school and did some college work.
- We recently found out that she had committed welfare fraud by failing to report two ,000 court settlements (which she received for an injury as a child) when she applied for food stamps and state assistance to supplement my brother’s income.
- She has no car or driver’s license to use for her children in case of emergencies.
-She has a documented history of domestic violence in the form of several police reports citing that she physically assaulted my brother.
- Even though she has visitation. Her children, ages 2 and 5, never want to see her. In fact, my 5 year old nephew said the other day that he didn’t want to see his mother because "Mommy is always angry."
- She and her mother, who she’ll be moving back with, are chain smokers and smoke around the kids. I don’t know how much weight the courts put on this issue, but as someone who had a history of asthma attacks as a child that were a result of my father’s smoking, I’m very passionate about children’s right to breathe clean air.

‘m asking people who have been through custody cases, do you think there is enough here for a man to sue for full custody of 2 children in a state that has a notorious reputation for leaning toward mothers?

he is my brother in law in minnesota and set us up with loan with his so called mortgage co. now house is 5 months over due, he’s not having work done there in a while. He’s been taking out all draws,(i just put a stop to that, mortgage for 2 homes we were gonna sell them, we live in wi)bills are piling up and he won’t tell me where money has been spent. He said we signed a contract with him and he doesn’t have to tell me what subcontracters have been pd or if pd at all. If we had a REAL contract with him wouldn’t we have something in our loans papers as to a contract that states a summary of work to be done, materials,(flooring, elect,, roofing costs), have nothing like that in loan papers. Is this fraud or what . I’m trying to find out what needs to be done and he won’t tell me what needs to be done and am going to see a lawyer next week. Is this normal for a contractor? any feed back would be helpful, cuz he really think he took advantge of us.

my brother and his girlfriend have 3 children 4,2 and 1 year the kids live with my aunt and uncle who provide for them but nobody takes them to the doctor the 4 year old has been once since he left the hospital the other kids have never been fo a checkup at all.My aunt and uncle are losing their home so the kids will be let with nobody but their idiotic mom and dad.I have no doubt that i I ask them if they can live with me that they will say yes but I don’t want to do what everyone else has done and just not get the medical care but I also can’t add them to my insurance.They have no medical coverage because there mom committed welfare fraud and it was taken away.I was wondering if I went downtown i I could get them their medical card back while they are living with me?I live in the state o ohio I am married with 3 children o my own.

I need to find a lawyer or legal aide willing to work probono or at a very reduce rate in a family court matter in San Francisco Ca. My brother is having major issues with ex-wife she wants more spousal support and he cant afford to give her any more money, also he believes she is doing fraud actives.
Do anyone knows a webite or a phone for free services.

Also please do not give me prepaid legal websites.

I co-own land with my Dad and Brother. I signed for a loan for my Dad to refinance at one time. Then Dad got another loan at this same bank, but I did NOT sign for another loan. I found out about the second loan. I called the bank and a loan officer at the bank admitted making the loan. When I asked who signed my name, they refused to give me any information at all.

I called the County Attorney and asked him to investigate this and press charges on my behalf, he refused, and told me to call the State Police. This bank is in a very small town, he probably has family working there.

Please accept my apology in advance, I do not know the appropriate legal terminology to use. I want to sue the bank for making a loan under fraudalent circumstances and the Prosecuting Attorney for reimbursement of the Attorney fees.

If there is an Attorney who may be able to help, please contact me. I dont want to lose the only thing my poor mother left to me.

i have found out my brother actually fathered the child i thought was mine . i am disabled with other children i need to take care of and this judgment has removed any chance of me owning a home. i married this women not because of love but for best interest of the child . i love this child still ,that will not change but this women knew all along that i was not the child’s father and actually laughed that i was paying support for my brothers child. i have an inheirtance that will go to this women if i don’t do something . this women has never worked and and commits fraud almost on a daily basis . she told the child i wasn’t her father . what can i do ?

my father owes my mother back child support which the sate is now taking out of his pay, he has asked my mother to sign her rights away to the money, he owes this he never paid a dime,he and his girlfriend have threated to press fraud charges against my mother b/c my brother no longer lives there (we’re all above 18), my father also signed his rights away to my brother 4 years ago (my brother now lives with him).so my question is can he press fraud charges or even sue my mother and what can my mom do to protect what is rightfully hers. answers and websites would be great, i have a feeling this is going to get ulgy

My nephew (he’s 7 years old), he is autistic and he gets a disability check from SS. He doesn’t live with his parents, he lives with my grandparents, and the check is in his mother’s name so she gets all the money every month and only gives maybe a month to my grandparents to help raise my nephew (only thanks to my mom handling all of my brother’s bills). Is it illegal if the mother puts down that my nephew lives with her and his father when he really doesn’t, and she gets the check and spends all of it on her & her bills?

My brother was forced to marry a girl. She said he got her pregnant and her family said they would charge my brother with rape if he didn’t marry. I had to pay for the wedding. It cost me 55,000 and I only had 30,000. So I borrowed 25,000 from the family of the girl my brother was marrying. After the wedding I discovered she wasn’t even pregnant. And soon after, she was playing with other boys.

Now she and my brother are separated, but I still owe her family the money I borrowed for the wedding. They said I only have to pay 12,500 because the marriage is over, but I don’t have that much money. Is it fraud if I simply can’t pay? Will I go to jail?

Also, didn’t the girl (and her family) commit fraud by lying about the pregnancy and forcing my brother to marry (and forcing me to pay for the wedding)?

My brother is at the beginnings of a divorce and his lovely wife *sarcasim* opened over 4 credit cards in his name without his knowing. Among other acts of deception including marrying him for health insurance to take care of a pregnancy and a child that she lied and said was his and taking money to pay her bills and then never paying them and then he later would have to pay them again……..can he file for marriage fraud and identity theft?

My friend has been caught last year with registering auto insurance in PA when he actually lived in New York City. He paid a 0 fine for the first offense. He was just caught for the second time. This time he was caught with using insurance under his brother’s name. What is the maxinum penatly. Whats the next step he should take. Should he speak to a lawyer immediately?

Short version my brother when we were living together stole my identity briefly and took about 1k dollars. We reconciled but the money has never been paid back in full and now some 15 years later I fear he is doing it again. I live in AZ and I have some charges to my account that are from SC where he lives. I don’t want to take this to court or attack him legally over it, is there something I can do like get a new SSN, or something? I switched all the bank information after the first time, but its obvious he knows some of my personal information after all we are brothers.

My brother-in-law’s ex wife filed paperwork with the child support division saying he had not paid her back child support. He had and had checks to prove it. Even so, the county kept taking it out of his checks, seized their stimulus check and will take their tax return this year. The county acknowledges that he has overpaid but because the ex-wife won’t return a document signed saying she was overpaid (because it would implement her in child support fraud) there is nothing that can be done.

Is there anything he can do to either have the overpayment credited to future payments or to be returned to him?

I had 4 checks lost or stolen so i called & they told me that "I" called on aug 28th and changed my address !!! so my checks have been sent 2 another address. Now everytime you call they ask for all your info name,address,phone,ss#, & d.o.b?? so sounds like someone has all my info or its an inside job all they did was add a pin but its an inside job then thats not going to help? anybody know what i can do or does child support investigate? i dont want this to happen again and im concerned about id theft? i do have the address where the checks were sent but i dont want to go & get shot or something who know who it might be. another creepy thing is i also have 2 other checks (1 is my brother’s and the other is an insurance check) lost/stolen but these were sent to the correct address?????? any suggestions???

Someone that I know is collecting the unemployment check for her boyfriend who is in jail, having his minor brother sign the check and then depositing the check into her account. Unemployment is also paying benefits out for the child support of his 9 other children. I don't live in Iowa, and I am not sure who would be the correct authorities to give this information to. Thanks.

My fiancé took out a 0,000 life insurance policy when I became pregnant.

He appointed me the sole recipient of the funds if (Heaven forbid) anything were to happen to him. He has no other living family besides his brother who, coincidentally, is my fiancé's life insurance agent.

His brother is a sleaze (neglected their sick elderly father for years, wrote himself checks for large amounts of money from his disabled father's checking account, etc.), but my fiancé wanted to help him out by supporting his account base and need life insurance for himself to secure myself and the baby financially in the case of a crisis. He is otherwise estranged from him.

When my fiancé requested a copy of the insurance forms, we noticed that his brother had written in (in his own handwriting – obviously not my fiancé's) himself as the contingent when no contingent was assigned in the original agreement.

My fiancé contacted his Supervisor, but is this insurance fraud? Will his brother lose his job? Do we have any legal standing? What he did was wrong.

Any advice?

Thanks.

My 42yr old brother-in-law has been a serious drug addict (everything from heroin to over-the-counter drugs) since he was 10yrs old and has spent a number of years in jail for all sorts of crimes, but mainly drugs, theft, fraud and extortion. Altho he is brain-damaged from the drugs he is still very cunning when it comes to $$.
Since the death of his father he has manipulated his 89yr old mum (who has dementia). He drugs her so she is easier to handle, has convinced her to sign everything over to him and stopped us having contact with her. He sold their house and bought a cheaper one (now in his name) which gave him 0,000 in cash. This money and the house was supposed to be split between my b-i-l, my husband and our 2 children on their mother's death. Now he is saying that its all his and that my husband and children get nothing.
Are there any legal steps we can take to get my husband & children their share of the money? There is over m at stake here! We all live in Australia.

MY BROTHER IN LAW SEPARATED FROM HIS ESTRANGED WIFE ON MARCH 25TH, 2005. SO HE WAS WITH HIS WIFE FOR JANUARY, FEBRUARY, AND MARCH, AND THEY HAVE 3 CHILDREN. HE MOVED TO SAN DIEGO ON MARCH 25 2005, AND THEN WENT AND VISIT HIS CHILDREN ON APRIL 7TH, 2005, AND THEY WERE BEING NEGLECTED BY THEIR MOTHER, THAT HE BROUGHT THEM TO LIVE IN SAN DIEGO. AFTER SPENDING 2 WEEKS WITH THEIR MOTHER, IN THE SUMMER, SHE RETURNED THEM TO US, AND DID NOT EXCERCISE HER SUMMER VISITATION. THEN ON NOV 14TH 2005. SHE TOOK THE 2 OLDER KIDS BACK TO CENTRAL CA, AND WE HAD THE YOUNGEST UNTIL JAN 14 2006, HE WAS COURT ORDERED TO RETURN TO MOTHER. BUT SHE CLAIMED ALL 3 KIDS FOR 2005, AND WE JUST GOT A NOTICE FROM IRS SAYING THAT SOMEONE ELSE USED THE KIDS NUMBERS, BEING THEIR MOTHER. SO WITH OUR SCHOOL & DAY CARE RECORDS, AND THE 3 MONTHS THEY BOTH HAD THE KIDS, WILL THE MOTHER HAVE TO PAY BACK THE ENTIRE TAX RETURN FROM LAST YEAR AND FINE? WHAT ARE THE FINES. THE KIDS WERE 8,5,3 AT THE TIME. THANK YOU.

The boys from Enron are not the only frauds. This corruption has been happening for years. Different schemes by different names. RCA illegally borrowed money and bought stocks and ran up the prices then sold. A big reason for the American Depression. A certain few always seem to take the risk.What's the deterent ? A few years in prision(Martha Stewart) then back to the millionare lifestyle as if nothing hapeened. This is an insult to MY intelligence. Bush's younger brother helped "embezzle" tons of cash in a savings and loan collaspe. FEMA Supposedly gave away one billion dollars and needs more. Our Representatives (Government) lost 9 billion dollars yet are asking us for more (supplemental spending). When is it going to stop? We the people must demand accountability before EVERYTHING is gone. I am willing to be that person who will ask the RIGHT questions. Who knows we might agree with what's happening.We just don't like what we don't know.what we do know is that billions have vanishd

In 2004 I leased my home to my brother for 00 a month which included utilities and he signed a lease. After 7 months of not paying his rent I asked him to move so that I could sell the home. He asked me if he could buy the home, I said yes. In the lease agreement the purchase price was 0k. he was living with me initially because he was goind through a divorce and was broke from the divorce. He had also lost his previous home due to the divorce.

We contacted a mortage broker, forged my signature on a contract for deed, The mortage broker make up false bank statements, false divorce documents and false rental payments. He was approved for the loan as a result of the false documents I did not find out that he forged my signature on a contract for deed ahd stated in the CFD that he had paid me ,000 as a down payment and more than k in rent. I only saw some of the documents at the close and when my check was more than k short I contacted my attorney and contact the tital company explaing that these were not my signatures and I never signed a contact for deed. The title company told me it was between me and the mortage company. My attorney told me that if I pursued it my brother would go to jail. When I confronted my brother the threaten me and told me if I did’nt close on the house and take the check he would hurt me. I was at my wits end, he had rented my home with all my furnuture and had everything I owned and now my home. He claims that he did not know what the mortage broker was doing and just signed what she told him tooo. It’s been 4 years now and I don’t know what to do. he still owes me ,000 in back rent plus ,000 for the diffference on the house. Do I sue the mortage broker or do I sue my brother or do I sue both. Where should I start.

My 17-year-old niece joined the Navy. The parents are divorced (not a friendly relationship) and her maternal grandparents are legal guardians. According to my brother, they needed both parent signatures plus the legal guardianship signatures. My brother never signed off that she could join. Is this still a binding contract with the Navy or did my former sister-in-law commit a fraud by forging his signature somehow? No snarky comments needed.
Thank you all – that's what I thought, although her mother was asked to sign as well.
