hi i bought 14 items from lolita4321 on ebay.com, i gave her my measurements. She sent all 14 items 2 months later, i received the items on the deadline for feedback and dispute resolution. I had begged her to send it even at that date because she said i was being hasty?! I told her it has already been 2 months. She sent them. ALL SIZES COMPLETELY WRONG, 10 times bigger than me, zippers broken, items made not as described.
So then i told her this and she played dumb and kept saying send the pictures. At first i was so upset and i did not send any pictures, she offered me ONLY 100 dollars and i paid her 700 dollars!! Then i filed a dispute and claim with ebay and paypal. Paypal dropped the claim saying they do not deal with "Not as described items" Then i had filed a claim with Econsumer.gov. I finally gave up and took a picture and used a standard size dress that fits and placed it on the floor next to the dress she made. It was 10 times bigger, she emailed me back saying I AM LYING, that is a CHILDS DRESS NOT MINE. Then i wore it and showed it to her. Now she believed me then she refused to help me saying she is going on vacation, bye!
and that was it, please anyone help me. i have sold over 368 items on ebay and have 100% positive feedback. This seller sells LOLITA dress from CHINA and i have noticed if she does get negative feedback it dissapears in a couple of days, it gets revised. Which is NOT possible.
Where can i get a lawyer, i lost 700 dollars and she is out vacationing, she could care less. And yes i have emailed the ebay trust and safety team several times and also filed claims there. Please help me anyone!!
To shiori, i paid using my checking account through paypal and the dispute i opened had only two options, not shipped or not as described. I picked not as described and they dropped the claim saying it has been more than 45 days since she took more than 60 days to send and also they said they do not cover NOT AS DESCRIBED items. The seller is out vacationing, i tried to negotiate she blew me off saying its the weekend so whatever.

The donations page for a legit church site that I maintain for my client has been added to IE’s phishing filter. How can I get it removed ? Thanks.
i dont use IE but many of my clients do, and many of their patrons do. you cannot tell anonymous donors to your site that "you suck for using IE, go get FF".

i need serious answers only, thanks.

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

On the riots:

in an interview with Katie Couric on NBC’s "Today" show, she described the rioting as "a spontaneous reaction to inequality and injustice." She added: "I am extremely . . . angry, and I have no problems with saying that. You know, there comes a time when it’s all right to be angry, when it’s all right to say this is absolutely unbelievable. That’s how I feel. And I’m sure that the people that you see, no matter what you think about what they’re doing, and no matter how we would not like to see that kind of violence, you can understand the anger." http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052702303411604575168041790910582.html

Geee, my congresswoman says its "right" so it must be. Lets riot for another week or so!

Bank Bailout Fraud:

A House ethics subcommittee has charged Ms. Waters, 71, a 10-term congresswoman, in a case involving communications that she had with the top executive of a bank that her husband owned stock in while it was applying for a federal bailout in 2008, two House officials said. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/31/us/politics/31waters.html?src=mv

Nice! Lets use the bailout money, during desperate economic times, in a manner that best lines my pockets as opposed to best serves the people. No doubt that bailout was a real win-win for us all!

CONCLUSION: I chose the riots. Thats historic. After Nero, I just cant recall any case in history like it. Where the ruler/elected official of a particular land endorses outright insurrection. Hey, but who watches NBC’s Today show, right! Oh those "righteous" riots. If you had lived there and heard that and you had done nothing to that point your changing strategy. Im gonna get me some of that righteous loot.

On the "DATES" section of my bill printout it says:

Date: 02.30. 03.30 and I never went to the dentists office on these dates! And I found out there were NOT codes or prices. Could this be fraud??? My bill was over 00? They were recommended by Medicaire Medical. HELP
Dr. Miller: 02.30 is NOT a date, and is NOT a dollar rate, NOR a code.
This COMPANY HAS 212 COMPLAINTS SO DON’T FOOL ME DR. MILLER.

I am currently married, and watch the youngest baby and take care of our home during the day, and go to school part time in the night. My husband works full time at the hospital. It works for us, and we are living well.

My ex, who is the father of my oldest child now in school, told me that he supports the child 100% because I have no income. He said the income from my husband has absolutely no matter what so ever.

He sends me 0/month without going to court, and without any kind of legal document or agreement and has refused to put the payments in writing (No idea why, as it would benefit him for his protection) After moving out 3 years ago, he has visited our child once. For the first two years after separating, I was working full time, yet he still had our child claimed on his W-4 for work so he could continue to get more money out of his paychecks. Last year, he claimed the money he sent as alimony, even though we wern’t married. (yes, i know, he did tax fraud) for 2009 taxes, I am now married, and I have been in school for an entire year now. So since he can’t attempt another alimony claim, instead of wanting to claim our child on his taxes with his "i support our child 100%" threat, he wants to claim the money he sends me as a maintenance payment, so that I have to put it as income, since I have no other personal income – just my husband does.

I can’t sleep, I have to wait until Monday before I talk to somebody, so any input would help put me to rest, lol

Has anyone sold a piece of property and the lawyer took your signature page and put it with a different "changed" document? This happened to me in LA and the person doing it took my Mineral rights away….Do I have recourse?
I have a copy of the original sale. Problem . However, there were 2 sales agreements and 6 people involved. He put 5 of the signatures from the first agreement with the second agreement.

One thing I’ve always wondered is what happens to Jerry Lundegaard after the conclusion of "Fargo," other than he faces a laundry list of charges. Specifically, what charges does he face? Does he get charged with murder (maybe second degree murder)? What sort of fraud charges would he face? (It appears he was involved in some sort of fraud and/or embezzlement, hence his need for the money in the first place.) Do you think he would have copped some sort of plea deal? I’m interested in what others think-any lawyers, specifically, lawyers with criminal/prosecution expertise?

‘Dan Rather Reports’ Exposes Coordinated Effort by the Catholic Church to Protect Assets From Abuse Victims

http://www.sunherald.com/2010/06/24/2285370/dan-rather-reports-exposes-coordinated.html

"From the Vatican on down, the church has vowed to make peace with hundreds of victims of a decades-long epidemic of sex abuse by its priests. But "Dan Rather Reports" found evidence that the church has done just the opposite: Wealthy U.S. Dioceses from California to Delaware have claimed to be broke and have filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying damages; Bishops have exploited arcane corporate laws to shield church assets from liability; and, in San Diego, parish priests have been caught literally hiding money in safes, according to court records.

"If you or I did what the Diocese of San Diego did in that bankruptcy, we’d be charged with bankruptcy fraud, and we’d probably be in prison," said attorney John Manly, who has represented dozens of priest abuse victims in lawsuits across the country.

"Dan Rather Reports" found evidence that some high in the church hierarchy have provided guidance."

ABC has many of thousands of employees and 10% "knew" that books were being illegally altered. Assuming the employees will tell the truth if offered amnesty from prosecution, what is the probability more than 30 out of 200 surveyed at random will admit to knowing about the fraud??
———————————————
answer key:

n= 200 p= 0.1
P(k>30) ~= P_Gaussian(X>30.5, mu=np, sigma=sqrt(npq))

np= 20
sqrt(npq)= 4.242640687

P(k>30) = P(z > 2.474873734 )=
0.5 – .4932= 0.0068

————————————————————————————
questions i have:
1) why do they use 30.5 ?
2) how do they calculate that z score?
3) i looked up that z score in the tables and its not the answer at all, how do they get that number? 4) why do they subtract from 0.5?

I am an Adwords advertiser and recently I have been comparing my page views (how many times a visitors sees a page) to the number of clicks Google has been charging me. On November 25th, my Web site had 308 page views, but Google charged me for 705 clicks.

In any other business, that would be called fraud. Part of me wonders if Google is doing this to other Adword advertisers and that is how they are “jacking up” their revenues, thus increasing their stock price that hasn’t been seen since the “Dot.com” bubble burst in the late 1990’s.

My question is, has any one else experienced this problem and is there any legal action against Google I can take not only to help me but also other unsuspecting Adword advertisers maybe being taken advantage of without their knowledge?
Thank you Chris.

I did check with Yahoo! regarding the accuracy of their reporting software, and the tech support person said it is about 90% accurate still well below the extra clicks I was charged. We are located in Menlo Park right down the road from both Google and Yahoo so the time zone is not an issue.

My comment on revenues reported verses stock price of Google only makes me wonder how a "one trick pony" like Google can have such a high stock value when you compare in to other Internet properties like Yahoo! Google has no other revenue streams that revival “Adwords” and “Adsense” that syndicates Adwords.

The Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services is considering prosecuting and banning some Scientology practices, in particular the use of the Scientology personality test to sell courses. State Secretary Rigmor Aasrud said that the activities in question might be prosecuted as fraud or as violations of existing healthcare regulations. A Norwegian Member of Parliament (MP) whose daughter killed herself after taking such a test, supports the idea of prosecuting illegal practices rather than trying to ban the movement as a whole.

Matthias Fosse, spokesperson for the Church of Scientology in Norway, said that the Church of Scientology does not give medical advice, but that it encourages people to focus on the side effects of medications, and is critical of the "over-medication" of psychiatric patients.

Could This Be Dental Fraud?
On the "DATES" section of my bill printout it says:

…
he could never spend it all. And five or even 10 billion
would be a comfortable amount to leave to his heirs.

Is it that the money doesn’t matter as much as being able to get away with it?

Is it that they think money will buy them women, jewels, mansions, yachts,etc.?

Or do these kind of people just get a real kick out of defrauding others?

NEW YORK (Reuters) Bernard Madoff, a quiet force on Wall Street for decades, was arrested and charged on Thursday with allegedly running a billion "Ponzi scheme" in what may rank among the biggest fraud cases ever.

The former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market is best known as the founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, the closely-held market-making firm he launched in 1960. But he also ran a hedge fund that U.S. prosecutors said racked up billion of fraudulent losses.

Madoff told senior employees of his firm on Wednesday that "it’s all just one big lie" and that it was "basically, a giant Ponzi scheme," with estimated investor losses of about billion, according to the U.S. Attorney’s criminal complaint against him.

A Ponzi scheme is a swindle offering unusually high returns, with early investors paid off with money from later investors.

On Thursday, two agents for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation entered Madoff’s New York apartment.

"There is no innocent explanation," Madoff said, according to the criminal complaint. He told the agents that it was all his fault, and that he "paid investors with money that wasn’t there," according to the complaint.

The billion allegedly lost would make the hedge fund one of the biggest frauds in history. When former energy trading giant Enron filed for bankruptcy in 2001, one of the largest at the time, it had .4 billion in assets.

U.S. prosecutors charged Madoff, 70, with a single count of securities fraud. They said he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to million.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and yes I realize that he has to be proven guilty, but he probably is, so I chose to ask these questions.
stop trying to mislead me. The fact is that he had "control" over these investments. With overall ‘control’ the money was his to invest or re-invest as he saw fit.The man is a fraud.

Last Friday, all 41 Republicans in the Senate announced that they would stand with the big banks to oppose Wall Street reform legislation. To me, that’s a smack in the face of every American who has been affected by all the fraud perpetrated on us. When you stand with special interests and then threaten to filibuster what you can’t defeat with a vote, your just a corporate puppet and you don’t deserve the honor of working in the "peoples house".

Ok, so 2 months ago, family member of mine (we will call him Bob) stole my mothers debit card on several occasion and withdrew money from her account, she didn’t catch "Bob" till after he had already taken 900 dollars from her, over a period of time. he would take her card, then replace it so she wouldn’t notice, but she went to use it and it was gone, so it was then that she knew exactly who done it, "Bob" has a history of theft and has been in and out of jail for the past 10 years or more. I lost count!!! So after he was caught, my mother called police and she contacted her bank and filled a fraud case or whatever its called, and an investigation was then opened. after several days the detective informed my mother that "Bob’ was seen on all the video tapes at each ATM machine. Bob was never arrested for the charge, for some stupid reason the detective said he was going to give Bob an chance to turn himself in and admit to the charges before he sent out a warrant. Well that was a mistake, cause after Bob got word, he ran. he took his 2 kids, and baby momma, and they all ran. 9 they where living with my mother cause they are sorry losers who dont work and draw off the system) bob and his girlfriend are both wanted by the child protective services also for child neglect.

ok so here is teh question…. Bob and i spoke today through an email, and he seems to think that if he stays gone for 90 days, the charges and teh warrant will disappear as if they didn’t happen. He has gotten information from friends that are about as sorry as he is. They are telling him that after 90 days the charges are dropped some sort of way cause they can only carry the charges for 90 days. does anyone know anything about this, and is this true? I mean, how can someone steal, basically rob a bank ATM and commit fraud, and all they have to do is run for 90 days, and then its all peachy? after he has a record a mile long of theft and drugs…That makes no sense to me, and i didn’t believe it for a second.

I’m going to get right down to the situations here.
My dad owes my mom child support money, she hasn’t received any in over a year for six months my mother has been trying to get the child support company to make my father pay child support through the court but they keep making her call back and never help her out.
My older brother who is 17 moved down state to live with his friends. His friends mother is asking for child support when it wasn’t even my mothers decision it was his hes always been the "I have to win type of person". My mother cannot at this time afford to send him child support money but they are demanding it. They claim that they have already talked to my dad but they are insisting that my mom pays the child support and they wont bring him back up here plus since my mom moved since hes been down there we have no room for him at this smaller house. We also do not want him here because he has always been the abusive and argumentative type.
Also my mom has custody so isn’t it my dads responsibility to pay child support not my moms? and isn’t his friends mom not supposed to receive child support from him because she does not have custody, he is only living with them? Please help out, what should we do in this situation? is there any laws that will help fight their claimed laws?
They are also claiming fraud against my mom because she receives social security for a disability and food stamps. he lived down there for five months before my mom took him off the food stamps because she thought he was coming back. And she did not know that she received money for him on her social security so she hasn’t had a chance to take him off that. she does doesnt she??
Please answer as many questions as you can. Thankyou.

My mom thinks she has been scammed over the phone by people claiming to be from the government. Apparently they were talking about some "00 prize" and she ended up giving them two of her credit card numbers and expiration dates, and worst of all her social security number.

What should I tell her to do? What authorities do we contact? Thanks.

….the list goes on and on…

my dog was spayed a few months ago (or so i thought) she went to the vet ..i picked her up later…she even had stitches on her abdomen from the surgery. she has been gaining weight but i thought it was because she was spayed (the vet told me she would gain some weight) but lately her stomach is swollen to atleast 3 times it’s normal size and she wont eat…my sister told me that a few weeks ago her friend came by with her dog and had a lil "play date" with mine..i knew nothing of this..her friend’s dog isnt neutered and i told her before to get him fixed..and that i would even pay for it..she didnt take my advice. my sister thought the play date was safe because my dog was spayed

…i took her to the vet (a diff one from the one i went to) and he told me that she IS pregnant..and that the vet i was to may have been a fraud! im filing a lawsuit against him…am i right for taking legal action? or should i just go to his office and blow his head off!…and my main concern is what to do with the puppies??…i dont want them to be killed…i really did not want to be a part of this…and i am furious at my sister’s friend..she’s now allowed to visit me anymore..because of her negligence and the "vet" of course im in this situation now. what do i do?
my guess is he never did anything invasive..just gave her a sedative..made a slice and stitched it back up….but why do that to someone..spaying isnt even a complicated procedure(so ive heard) just do it one time..i guess he didnt know how and still wanted to make money

Is it insurance fraud if you collect money for hail damage, then sell your house "as is" at a discounted price without fixing the damage?
Don’t know if it matters, but this is in Ohio. My real estate agent is telling me it’s fraud and threatening to report me. But I don’t think he’s right.

Earlier this year, I went to a psychiatrist who destroyed my mental well being and made it very clear to me that he absolutely didn’t want me to contact him unless I had an appointment with him so he could make his 200 plus bucks an hour. I overheard him tell his secretary to tell this woman who called in a crisis to basically stop calling him between appointments because he wasn’t anyone’s "personal psychiatrist" (he told me the same thing). I was fast realizing that he was telling his secretary to not answer the phone for certain patients if they called in a crisis(it was evident they had caller ID). This creep runs a private practice and is all over the Internet with his "vlogs" on how to get off of various drugs. He authors books, has his ugly face on the TV as well. His obvious motivation for going into psychiatry is for the big bucks by the shoddy way he treats his patients. He gets them in for his 45 minute appointments with him, gets his big money, and scoots them out the door. One day when I first started seeing him, he had the audacity to pull up in an expensive sports car and one of the other businessmen in the building(he is leasing a space for his office where there are other businesses) said to him "nice car". He said, "Yeah I always wanted one of these." Yeah, he bought all of his fancy cars, homes, vacations, and sent his kids to prestigious colleges using the money from the people like me who didn’t realize what a greedy scumbag he was at first. On his web pages, he is constantly bringing up making big money in the medical field and how he debates working more and more for more income. And if that is not enough, through doing a little research earlier this fall, I found out that this guy has a shady past. He was formally an anesthesiologist that ended up being disciplined by the medical board for abuse of codeine as well as other drugs that anesthesiologists are supposed to be using on their patients and not siphoning off for their own use. He could’ve easily killed someone on the operating table. Now on his famous "vlogs" he tells people of his past only because he knows that they will find out about it on their own in this Internet age and he wants to minimize what he did wrong by making excuses for himself and his past opiate and codeine addictions. He says he chose to not go back to being an anesthesiologist because the risk was too great of him becoming addicted to the drugs again(real strong guy and someone who should be in the medical field, right?!) But because of his other addiction–big money–he chose another field where he could make the big bucks–psychiatry. Now he’s traded messing with peoples’ bodies to messing with peoples’ heads. Two of his patients committed suicide in just the three short years that he has had his private practice. I could go on and on about this jerk, but what I’m getting at is how can a "little person" like me voice my concern about a guy who calls himself a psychiatrist when he is no more qualified to administer psychiatric care to anyone than I am? I believe he is nothing more than a fraud that slipped through the cracks of a shoddy medical board, that despite disciplining him for his wrongs in the world of anesthesiology, allowed him continue on in psychiatry. How do I even know he even set foot in the schools he claims he attended when he decided to enter psychiatry? How can I get the ball rolling on a formal investigation on his private practice and who do I have the power to report him to? I honestly believe that if this guy stays in psychiatry, the damage that he will do to peoples’ mental well being will be devastating to my community. How do I stop this quack? Please give me answers.
To John, I didn’t ask for the psychiatrist to be my damn lover, did I. But I would appreciated it if he wouldn’t have made it so obvious that he was using his patients as a piggy bank to support his fancy lifestyle that he is accustomed to. As far as me assuming responsibility, I couldn’t have known what a jackass he was before I went to see him, now could I? I think you should think more before you speak.
P.S. I have been seeing another psychiatrist for six months now. One that doesn’t use his patients as a piggy bank, thank you very much.
