An individual was named trustee to my property and neglected to give me the grant deed as promised.. He proceeded to try a "pump and dump" on my property using a mortgage broker and a unrealistic appraisal. He borrowed excessively against the property and used the funds elsewhere. I subpoenaed the bank and discovered that everything on his application was false including more than one SS# Is a lending institution responsible for creating harm to third parties through lack of diligence and therefore, should they not be sued ,also ,for enabling this character to commit fraud? They are now trying to foreclose on my property in the midst of my law suit against the scam artist.

I would like to be a computer genius who could deduct a penny or so out of every millionaire’s (in the whole world) bank account every month. This crime, it could be argued, would harm no one, but would vastly help myself.

Unfortunately, I am not a computer genius. By the way, if someone commits the above-mentioned crime, I would be all in favor of prosecution. I am not saying that theft should not be punished. If any of you have read the book CATCH ME IF YOU CAN by Frank Abagnale, or seen the movie, you might be interested to learn that Abagnale today says that fraud is easier today than ever, due to computers. So, know ye where the criminals are.
Some of you have suggested that being a hit man might be a good criminal line to be in. But I remember how, in Calgary, a man who had done "hits" for a biker gang was murdered while he was stopping for gas near where I worked. It seems that a common first assignment for a new hit man is to murder the old hit man. Those who give the orders like to play it safe. That, by itself, all morality and humanity aside, would be enough to dissuade me from becoming a hit man.

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!

What can/should you do if you are a victim of Identity Theft (include how to report a fraud)?

Can you please help me answer that!

Thank you so much!

My childrens’ mother is committing fraud and it is 100 percent intentional My children are in the house can I get custodial guardianship when I report it?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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.

The story is about a Pastor in Dekalb county who was arrested and charged for identity theft and fraud in 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia. It was reported in Atlanta constitution Journal and on WXIA TV-11 Alive.

I am making this since some jerk got my last Nancy Grace thread that I directed at Nancy Grace-lover Catherine N before I saw her answer. Women are the ones that call in every night praising Grace and her show, so they obviously can’t make un-biased opinions based on the trial given, but will instead go on what Nancy Grace says if she is commenting on the trial. Grace is a rude and annoying, self-righteous liar and fraud who has been caught lying(the duke-lacrosse case)and runs when the truth comes out. Not everyone who gets accused of a crime is actually guilty you know, many people have been freed and their convictions overturned by DNA evidence, the real culprit coming forward and confessing and corrupt and tainted prosecutions. Appeals courts have also overturned some of Grace’s convictions and criticized Grace’s handling of the case for playing loose with ethics and withholding evidence.
If women cannot make a decision on a jury based on the trial given like they are required to do, then they shouldn’t be allowed to serve.

I work at a Walmart and they’ve been doing this everyday almost POHC or something. fundraising for them. They have a sign and that with a black baby on the front smiling saying Parents Of Homicidal Children. The store allows it but i don’t think its real.. I want to figure out if this is real or a fraud to get money from people for themselves. If anyway of proving this i really don’t know can anyone help?

This is a situation that my friend is going through. Please, no bashing or anything, but wed like to know some real options and real information. Thanks

Seth and Jin were in business together and had a business account that was under both the name of the business and Seth’s name. Jin was in charge of filing taxes and did them, and sent them in. Recently Jin moved out of the country to go back to school in his home country and sold his half of the business to Seth. Before leaving, Jin wrote a couple checks to himself from the account mentioned above. Now, Jin and Seth did talk about this and it was not a problem. It has been a few months now, and Jin just found out that the IRS did not recieve the tax return and the company is being audited. Seth, thinking that Jin "screwed" him, pressed charges for fraudulent check writing.

Seth is convinced that Jin betrayed him, but he did not.

What are his options? What is the penalty? Would it help to get a lawyer?
The fraud is that Jin wrote and cashed checks under an account with his only his partners name and the name of the company. Seth was aware and okay with the fact that Jin did that under the promise that the money would be paid back, but it looks suspicious now because Jin cashed the checks, then moved out of the country, and now the IRS is auditing the business saying the tax returns never came in. It looks bad on Jins part, but its all coincidence. The tax forms obvioudly got lost in the mail.

I’ve been trading them in simulations for several months with great results and I bought some GU last week which has been doing pretty well so far, I want to invest in more and maybe smaller companies but I’m afraid of fraud, dont know what the big differences might be between american stocks, etc. so I’m hoping there is a good reference out there. Thanks!

Hello, I have been using godaddy.com for stuff a couple days. I have only purchased 2 items on godaddy.com, which was Hosting plan-1 year for (with 10% off) and domain. I even have the receipt for them. Then one day all my family was at work and at school. I didnt and my parents didnt even use the credit card that day!! Then that day(when I was at school and parents at work), one employee got my credit card(it was employee they found)(even found him). He made 20 purchases on godaddy.com and he charged my credit card for ,000!!! I didnt even purchase it and the cc company said that it was a fraud and all purchases on cc was from godaddy.com!!! Then my daddy, called godaddy and FINALLY they gave me a refund for that ,000. So im safe. My dad canceled godaddy account and all credit cards. Im safe but is there a way I can get revenge for this and what do you think about this?

Thank you.

That bank distorted millions of dollars from both brokers and investors, but yet they get a settlement, but the amount they stole was a few hundred billion dollars, and yet you download one DVD o rmusic file they want to throw you in jail for 5-10 years. As far as I’m concern these people including the president and the CEO of that bank should be executed upon conviction.
Isn’t fraud supposed to be time in jail?

A quit claim deed transferred real property from one party to an executrices so that the equity of the real property would not be used for the owner’s medical bills. The family was told that there was a will executed by the original owner of the property to be disseminate to the owner’s children in the event of death.

The original owner has pass away and the executrices has now claims that the total estate including the real property is all hers.

There is no record of the will in probate court or records, but prior to the death of the original owner the family had seem the will and has knowledge of the contents of the will, but the original copy was taken by the executrices; family members who were willed the property have maintained the property according to the wishes of the owner as well as paid taxes and property insurance. At the time of the transfer no one questioned the executrices because she is a family member.

Now, she has claimed that the documents that are required to prove she commented fraud are buried and time has given her the rights to the property and she transferred it to her two adult children.

The medi-cal documents were completed sometime in 1993 and the owner passed 12 years ago. The property had been transferred in segments co-owners they the original owner need major medical surgery so the entire property was transfer to the executrices now the family is concern that they have lost the gift of their mother and will be responsible for any accrued debt that will have to be paid back.

Also, is this one crime or two?

So, is there a status of limitation? I have researched the Medi-cal website but it does not cover what is fraud nor does it state a limitation.

Thank you for real answers.
In answer to your question the family has continue to ask the executrices for the will, but she has claimed that it did not exist no one knew who the attorney was who wrote the will but a lead was found but the attorney has stated that the deceased only made inquiries about a will and they did not have it filed. The same attorney mentioned that the probate does not began until it get filed in probate court so an appointment has been made, because it is believed that the cost of the medi-cal is more than the property is worth.

its not for fraud etc, but my ex (with my child) wants to go through them, and to save hassle I’d much rather leave out some of the places I used my card…

any guys with links/advice?

i tried to copy them and place another name over the store name etc, but cash withdrawls will not add up – so im tried to create a template to print.

would anyone happen to know what paper is best?

thanks inadvanced

Including tax breaks and corporate welfare for companies that lay workers off to outsource jobs for more extreme profits from outsourced jobs and corporate welfare, besides not caring if workers live or die from not having healthcare, as conservatives have after all – thrown fits about workers having healthcare so they don’t die?
After all isn’t anyone wants to stop from being ripped off from fraud or from CEOs embezzling their employees pensions or anyone who wants decent pay or benefits to keep up with the costs of living or anyone who wants to not die from pneumonia or cancer – a marxist or commie?
