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 need some legal advice about a social security issue. I just recently found this out. My ex husband lives in a different state, so I can’t be for sure when he tells me stuff.
he gets ssi for his back, because of that, he doesn’t have to work and therefor doesn’t have to pay child support.
the state, however, provides a total of 0 for all his children to be split up evenly. he has only had our daughter for quite a while.
he was remarried for a while and then suddenly divorced. Two weeks later he was with a new girl. a month later she was pregnant. 2 and a half months later she gave birth prematurely. he told me it was his, i assumed he was telling me the truth even though the time line didn’t add up, i assumed he was cheating on his wife with his new girlfriend. (thus the mysterious breakup)

i recently found out that this is not the case at all. they were only together that last couple months of her pregnancy. The child she gave birth to is her ex husbands child. he claimed the child as his to get the money.
he has been getting half the money for a child that isn’t his for going on a year.
I am of course extremely irritated. He falsely claimed a child just to get money that is really supposed to go to his legitimate child. this is supposed to be her child support, but he greedely took it back gor himself!!!
he put himself on the birth certificate

is this legal???
im sorry i forgot to add, the mother of the other child, the new born baby who is now over a year old, is in on it to get the money. she is his girlfiend.
lol! no drugs young and stupid. i was with him 13-14 years ago, and only for a very short while.

I will try to make it as simple as I can. This is a serious question concerning a real person and I will supply all the information she gave me:She applied for bankruptcy about 7 years ago. About a year or two after applying the case was first dismissed and then closed. Since I know NOTHING about the law I asked her what that meant and she told me that her application for bankruptcy was denied. Now she is facing another (state) government agency for which she has to answer the question:
"Have you ever filed for bankruptcy?". This is her problem. She might have given false information when applying for bankruptcy. Is she guilty of fraud even though she was not granted bankruptcy? (It seems to me:YES). Assuming she’s guilty is there then a statute of limitation? How can I find out what it is? In her present situation, with the state agency, a lawyer has told her she should admit her misinformation in a statement to the state. This would help her in her present case.But is there danger?
Thank you all for trying to help.
Mr. Leibowitz, I have recently learned that her new problem concerns her state taxes. And worse, I now believe that she KNEW before-hand that the information she gave in the bankruptcy was false. I looked up your web-site and your law firm is out of state. Can you suggest someone in New York State that is really competent? Or can she call/write/e-mail you for a little more advice with her problem? After I get her this information I will be out of the picture and any necessary payments,for legal advice/work will be handled by her, personally.
Thank you very much.
Tony
Thanks lawyergal 123. Will check sites you suggested.

I am Federal Court her and I’m dealing with Fed Rule of Evidence 801. I am P and I want to offer my D’s testimony from a previous criminal prosecution against him. There was a conspiracy to commit fraud-like acts and my current D turned state’s witness on his co-conspirators and testified that he was engaged in a conspiracy to commit fraud-like acts. Now I’m suing him civilly for those acts and I want to admit his testimony against him as a party-opponent admission under not excluded as hearsay under 801. I know I can do this but I want a Federal case with similar facts where it was done. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

Note: there is no kind of legal advice being given or requested or received here. This is just about people helping people find cases that might help them do whatever it is they’re doing.
Thank you for your response, Richard.

The thing is that I don’t want to call the defendant to the stand so I want to use 802(2)(a) as you suggest. I was just hoping someone could point me to a case with similar facts to mine (previous criminal trial where current defendant was a witness but not a defendant, current civil trial, federal court) so that I have some concrete backup on this.

Again, thank you for your response and I will definitely mark it as the ‘best answer’ unless someone else miraculously comes along with a response of the specificity that I’m indicating now that I need.

When can a 995 motion to dismiss be used? My friend was just arrested for some kind of fraud. The DA says there are 150 counts against her. I know little about it, but basically she is a real estate broker and her partner did some fraudulent loans and took off to Mexico leaving her holding the bag.

I know the woman very well, she does not have the inclination nor the capacity to devise something like this. For example, I know she has been on psychiatric medications for 8 years after having a complete breakdown. Her husband spent two years taking care of her, taking her to doctors and getting all kinds of tests done to find out why she could not eat and was in constant pain. They finally realized it was an emotional problem and put her on psychiatric medications so she could function again.

She is the type of personality that would be easily coerced by someone to sign loan papers.

I think her attorney should file a 995 motion to dismiss many of the charges against her. Her bail is set at 3 million dollars, which is completely absurd. She’s not a flight risk with an 18 year old daughter still living at home, and an X-husband who is disabled and still living with her.

My friend and I want to be some kind of a character witness for her, and we want to talk to her public defender as well. Any legal advice would help.
thanks Max, no wonder you are the top contributor. Why don’t you just skip responding and just type "hi."

To make a long story short, I had a merchant credit card processing account setup through the original creditor, Cardservice International, approximately 4 years ago. During that time I only made a few charges using the account. They were large charges and totaled just over ,000 altogether. These charges were never deposited into my bank account and I was contacted by a man working with their fraud management department. He wanted me to send out products before receiving the funds so I did not agree and I stopped using the merchant account. I also contacted my bank to block their access to my checking account.

Now they have hired the collection agency Allen & Associates on their behalf to collect the ,000 that they never gave me in the first place! I’ve obtained former bank statements from Wachovia and spoken to a branch manager. I attempted to send this information to Allen & Associates, but the agent on the phone refused to provide me with a fax number where I could send documents to dispute this debt and told me that I should just get an attorney because they will sue me. They did "claim" that a representative from Wachovia will be present to testify that the deposits were made so tomorrow I plan to bring the list of supposed deposits into a branch to get a certified letter from a branch manager stating that they were not. This invalid debt for ,000 is also on my credit report as of right now. I’ve disputed it and it was removed at one point, but it appears that A&A has reported it again.

I need to legal advice on how to proceed. I’ve tried to dispute the debt, but obviously they will not allow me to even show them the documentation I have to support my claims. If I do file a suit against them do I file against the CA or the original creditor?

I'm 16 and will be 17 in a month, yes I am a virgin but strongly feel my rights are being violated.

I need legal advice and soon because I feel so violated!

entered into a fraudulent vacation club deal with dreamworks vacation club who stated they were endorsed by better business bureau(false) i disputed this contract with citicards and was denied refund because company alleges i signed a binding contract.
i was under the impression that there is a 72 hour federal rescision law governing all contracts. any legal advice regarding this law?
jersey attorney general is going after dreamworks for fraud.
how can citicards deny my dispute when rescision law is involved?
i definitely advise against anybody using citicards for the mastercard or visa. they don't back you up even if you have a legitimate complaint

no no guys we didn't know about the second mortagage the first one was legal his sister was suppose to be our tenant.. and instead they build some kind of business home group we didnt know until now.. the first loan was legal legit the second one is the one we didn't know about, we didnt know they could go and get another loan with out our consent.. they fake his signature they had connections, we didnt know anything.. but i assure you the first loan was legal and they broke it.. they lied and forged documents the documents even say that this person who sign this loan document showed a proper florida id and we know isnt true because the signature is not my husbands signature.

Wht should I do. Please Help

He may be trying to use this vehicle as trade. First can I be implicated in fraud if he does this. 2nd my legal options are to get him to turn over the plates on his own or to file papers for operating without owners permission ~ a felony stop will be made. I don't want him arrested but I can't have the legal trouble that will insue if he and his pot smoking buddies get into a wreck in a truck that has my info attached to it. Any legal advice out there?

I'm going to try to keep this simple. I'm not looking for any legal advice at all, I just want some opinions on this situation.

My husband started working for a trucking company. A few days into the job, he slightly damaged a truck. He told the owner about it immediately, he offered to pay for it. The owner said – no worries, you aren't used to this size truck, you don't have to pay. The owner ended up firing him 5 or 6 days later due to a conflict they had. We have now received, with husband's final paycheck, an invoice addressed to my husband for 00 to pay for damage to the truck. When my husband was fired, he had to write up an explanation as to what happened and sign it. He even included the fact that the owner did not want him to pay for it when it happened.

Can we call the insurance company to see if he placed a claim? I personally think he is trying to get double money which would be insurance fraud. Can they do anything legally to get the $$ from us?

I rent a house through a property management company but the owner of the home is in the middle of a criminal case for loan fraud in which all of her assets have been frozen. My lease is with a property management company though. Can they legally continue to collect rent from her property? Does anyone know what I can do as the 3rd party renter? Who would I talk to for legal advice? Thanks!

Without legal advice of any kind, and with coercion, parents signed a "voluntary" relinquishment of custody to the grandparents. This was following several false reports to cps, one attempted family abduction, pressuring the father to file a fraudulent divorce petition, and finally running with the kids. Grandparents then file for "emergency" custody.. concealing other prior events, and covering up actual motives. And that is just a brief summary of the lies told.
Attorneys, please – what is your thoughts on this? Likelihood that parents can get agreement vacated, on grounds of fraud? After how long? Parnets continued to be pressured into belief that it was "legal".
addition- parents were retaliated against for moving away from grandparents…
concealed evidence would have shown fraud and/or perjury… by coercing into agreement, prevented judge from hearing testimony since parties "reached agreement".
both parents were screwed
looks like "votes" are making exactly the same exact wrong assumption as the first poster, with no knowledge of the events at all… that the grandparents "must" be good persons, looking out for the welfare of the children: that the parents "must" have been neglecting or harming the children; and grandparents "can't" possibly have committed perjury, or abducted the children WITHOUT ANY GROUNDS.
That is exactly where the fraud happened, and yes, there is ample proof of what I am stating.
And I am not one of the parents, I am a 3rd party.
Best answer has some fallacies, but at least did not make the assumption that I can't know what fraud is, or that it happened.

I'm in the process of investigating an internet fraud that was commited aginst myself and several others. It seems organized crime in BUCHAREST, Romania is using the internet to do all kinds of fraud against an unknown number of people. So far I've tracked three cases and would like access to the email accounts they use on Yahoo (and other sites like hotmail). I am willing to file in court and go throug the motions to get access. I would just like to get some legal advice I guess. Thanks all.
Don't call me a moron, what's wrong with you? I'm not ungrateful. I love yahoo. But to gain access to someone's account on Yahoo you must file a motion in court against Yahoo itself. Yahoo is the organization that actually owns the information I want to gain access to. It's a legal issue, not a personal one against Yahoo. Don't misread my post and just going off on an emotional tangent. I'm just looking for advice as to how to file this type of case in court. I've never filed a court case before and will do my own research since none of the answers so far have been of any use. I'm doing this on my own.
I have already gone through the FBI, filed and all. I don’t want lose any more money on this issue by hiring a lawyer for $$$ an hour. Also, it is not impossible to gain access to someone's email account; you just have to get a court order to do it. What I'm seeking is information regarding this type of case, any and all legal advice would be greatly appreciated.

To make a long story short, was charged with offenses not knowingly knowing it was fraud and was left holding the bag. (Word to the wise, know who your true friends are) and now I am left facing charges because my signature is on the document. Helping out a friend, I am now facing a felony conviction and I am scared as hell because of the company I kept. I don't want this on my record, should it go there, and if so what can I do to remove it? Any legal advice?

I opened up an email one day and there was one from an old woman asking for my assistance to be her agent or benificiary to help her claim 9.5 million dollars that was left to her by a her late Dr. husband. She wants to donate it to charity. She says that she's in the hospital and can't make the donations because she is nearly dying of cancer and is receiving treatment. At first she said that I didn't have to pay anything and that she just needed me to donate the money to her chosen charities in her behalf and that I would get 10%. I said cool. I'll do it. Later on as we continued to communicate she mentions that the security company that has the funds told her that a 5.00 fee needs to be paid in order to release the funds. Her attorney sends me some unofficial looking documents to sign and that I must send it back with a payment for the fees. I smell something very fishy here. What do you think and do you know anything about benificiary laws? Any good legal advice would be helpfull

Legal advice help!!!! emergency?
I got ripped by one of the merchant processing company, called MPI, by making me signed up a non-cancellable credit card machine lease, which I have to pay 150$ a month for 48 months. The sale rep named Caron Bracy, the contract i signed is totally different from what he is telling me….
HELP, is there anyway I could get out of the lease, or any of the legal advice office i should go for help???? THANKYOU

Is there way could stop this person doing fraud like this? ….
I know he's been making money by lying to people….
and i have recorded down conversation with over the phone about the issue. He clearly stated the credit card machine is free.
