Whether you know it or not, you have a bulls-eye painted on you; because “YOU” are a target of Internet Scams/Fraud/Ponzi’s. In America you, or someone you know, have a 1 in 10 chance (in Europe it is a 1 in 8) of this happening to you in the coming year. Many of you have already been a victim of a scam/fraud/Ponzi and don’t even know it yet. This fraud takes on many different forms: E-mail, Mortgage, Cash Gifting, MLM (Multi- Level Marketing), Affinity Fraud, or an Investment Opportunity via the Internet, by phone, a meeting, or from a well-meaning friend. It has been estimated that from 2007-2009, over $500 Billion Dollars worldwide was stolen from Internet Investment Scams/Fraud/Ponzi’s. Almost $300 Billion of that in the United States alone, and the actual number will never be known. Mainly because not all victims report it due to: embarrassment, the small amount lost, intimidated into not filing a complaint, or not knowing how to report it. In addition to losing your money, you also run the risk of being a victim of Identity Theft.
Our purpose is to make you aware of and educate you about:
The various types of scams that proliferate today via the Internet, or other means;
Provide you the information and education to hopefully prevent you from being
scammed;
If you are a victim what steps you need to take to report the theft, and protect
yourself from civil actions and/or criminal charges;
The dangers of Identity Theft, and how to reduce your chances of becoming a victim;
Links to National and International regulatory agencies;
How to file an initial complaint, and the link to file your complaint online;
Due Diligence – What is it? How do you do it?;
What Red Flag Warnings to look for; and
Links to other sites providing additional educational resources and information.
