I am re-posting this question because YA didn’t post it last time for some reason. I am curious how the criminals go about getting your information and using it against you. What are the most common scams and how do I protect myself from them?

After relocating, I have been conducting a job search in this area and constantly think I am signing up for a job search and it ends up being a phoney offer for online schools, scams and others to get my personal info. Doesn’t any authority regulate what goes on? Geez!

Our govt spends more money on foreign interests and helping illegal immigrants and supporting big business against the wishes of the American citizens and with our tax dollars. How can this continue once we are all out of work. Not to mention victimizing us with all other corruption and scams we sometimes hear about in the controlled media. Where do we finally get a break?

Andy Balogun is a civil and coorperate lawyer and I want to find out if he’s liget. Not a fraud to where he scams on people.

why the charade of constantly giving these crooked business …and we know they are crooked and have larceny in their heats…..why do these politicians give them latitude to make more bad decisions that are against the country’s interests…stealing from tax payers ..and then come back later trying to shame them and say what they should have done?

If they wanted the bailout money to not go to bonuses…why did they simply not put it in black and white and say so?

I am tired of the games…..this feels like a scam….it was a scam with the first bailout and subsequent bailouts are scams too…

Look at AIG..they are even given the bailout money to foreign firms and still planning to give huge bonuses..
I am tired of hearing politicians blaming the business execs when the politicians could have forced them to act right with laws.

One that said I won and just need to provide my name, occupation, etc and I get 8 million in a Nigerian bank account. I wanted to reply that my name was William Radczak, and my occupation is Assistant Director of the FBI’s counter cyber fraud division , and list my number as the FBI’s fraud tip hotline.

What is the harm in replying to these scams?

I have 4 month old twin boys and I would love to stay home with them, but I need to bring in some money to help my husband. What can I d moso? I know there are alot of things, but most are scams, plus I am hesitant about putting money down. I need something legit! I’m not against starting my own business, but doing what? Please respond only if you have good info…no scams! Thanks

sexoffendercheck.com, protectourwomen.com…the notion of screening for priors on online dating seems sensible. But these all require a credit card number. Shouts out "scam" to me…

Know of any good online screening sites that AREN’T scams?

I keep getting these crappy emails that always look like spam or junk that is ok to delete. what prevents that from happening, and which works the best? P.S. help on ads. are they scams?

illegal immigrants carry fake or non-matching identification or Social Security numbers? A lot of immigrants are too afraid to report these scams, and the criminals go on about businesses to prey on more innocent people. Can this be the reason why illegals posses such documents?

Anti-Fraud Campaign Against Citizenship Scams Unveiled

russia girls that scams americans in the internet?

I am looking to start a business working from home. i am cautious with all the scams on the internet i see and hear about. any suggestions on a legitimate business that i can consider?

i was looking for a work at home job and found a posting on craigslist back in august. it is from an overseas company in new zealand. the company’swebsite is roxychanger.com. they were hiring agents to collect payments in the form of bank wire transfers from their egold buyers. my job would be to receive these payments either by cashiers check or money order or bank wire transfers. Well just yesterday I received a bank wire transfer into my account. Now I am supposed to go to Western Union and wire the money back out to some company after deducting my 5% commission and fees. I called the bank to see if the money they wired in is clear and the bank confirms it is clear. Is this legal? I heard of scams where you receive a money order or cashiers check in which you cash it and then wire the money back out, weeks later the check is fraud..then the bank would hold you responsible…but what I am getting is cash in my account..this must be real, right? please advice what i should do next.
today i went on craigslist and searched under scams and there seems to be a lot of scams of wire transfer sorts. but most involve you cashing a fake check…not someone wiring money into your account. also i checked the company’s website..it no longer exists

Schemes, Scams, Fraud etc ?? is it the FCC ?
I meant who polices or monitors corrupt internet activity for business fraud- and if this stuff is allowed, no policing, then we are not as homeland secured as people are led to believe. And the perpetrators have seeped into our bedrooms and leaves the consumers with their pants down. We are not protected.

For their failure to follow through on the payment of wages? Nothing was agreed to in writing but verbally and work was performed. The company is bogus..globalfinancialsolutions.org The guy, J. W. Pugh real name Darrell Pugh uses virtual meeting locations, Craig’s list etc to do his recruitment. He has scams running in Florida (St.Petersburg, Miami, and Tampa) New York and there are complaints at the BBB for him in California. Meeting and interacting, he seems genuine and reputable. Beware!
I’m thinking since the guy is a scam artist he will not want the hassle and pay the owed wages. But then again.. to run a scam like this you don’t care about your reputation. It just infuriates we that someone can get away with something like this! Any assistance would be appreciated.

i was wondering if there were a few sites you could name that are a scams on ‘how to make money off of the internet’ kind of thing.

I already received five similar scams in the internet,first in the random lottery thru my e-mail ad,second from Christian Aid Org.,third from invoice random picks,fourth from a firm convincing me to inherit and last from a certain VITTORI org.

I have come across two very attractive profiles of ladies apparently from Australia wanting assistance to arrive home from Nigeria. Are they all scams & how can you tell ? Ever heard of Linda Lopez or Vanessa Johnson ?

I spend a lot of time on internet since I am not working. Many times I have ended on sites promising me earn money from home by putting free websites and how can that be true? What kind of scams are these? Why are they saying that without knowing the person and screening the person? I stay free from sex sites and consumer survey sites. Whatelse should I be aware of?

Reason being is I receive hundreds of these scams and they are really becomeing quite creative and I am really curious so if you know let me know

I’m so surprised that I didn’t know this. I thought they were a state-regulated department, like the Consumer Protection Agency. Businesses join the BBB and that is where their income comes from. Now, I am wondering how they can be impartial if a consumer files a complaint against a BBB customer (business). Smells kinda fishy to me, and a lot of scams work like that.

Could someone tell me which of the dating sites online are scams? i know that passionads.com is but what other ones are? and are there any ligettamate ones out there?

I want to know if there are legitimate money making internet sites out there and how to verify before spending money on them? Like a better business burea or something for scams

Do parking providers suffer because of these groups? Do they really pay out or are these just one of those online scams?
