Got a call from my bank asking if I'd been to Italy recently, which I hadn't. Some lucky pup has managed to access my card details and went on a spending bender in Italy - luckily I am covered to get it all back. Has any1 encountered this crime+how d'you go about finding out who it was (police have a report but I wondered if I could detect myself?).Thanks.
From time to time I receive e-mail which, from all appearances, are attempts at luring me into contracts with a view to defrauding me of financial resources. I am of the view that there are persons out there who can offer specific pointers as to how these can be best analysed. Any suggestions?
Fraud is presented as a Yahoo service requesting personal information.
I went o the bank to dispute 2 charges from PM-FASTAUCTION.COM and PM-KEYWORD SUSCESS.COM, and was given the web address WWW.IFCCFBI.GOV to report fraud. The website already had both these sites listed. The bank also suggested I check earlier statements, and sure enough they have been hitting me for the past 3 mo. for $1-$3 charges totaling $124. The only place they could have gotten my account info was from PayPal. Why can't the FCC close these crooks down
I have evidence of fraud. The email has Yahoo address.

I am a victim of internet scam for attempting to cash travler checks that were not real according to Irving,Tx police. Being charged for felony forgery. I didnt print of forge. Received thru UPS .
I have seen many shady companies running online sites & promise users to pay, but instead take money & run. For example: Agloco (http://www.agloco.com), which suppose to pay members for using their viewbar, but never paid any member, instead when asked about who runs the company or who are part of management, you never get answer? No information posted about it's physical location or country it operates from. The phone # listed (650) 206-2560 at http://www.agloco.com/web/guest/aboutus -> Press, is in fact a VOIP phone, so could be anywhere in the world. This company is still scamming people as of now & no one can stop them. So far they have got over 10 million members, all promised to get paid. They are building wealth & in few months will disappear, cheating millions of it's members under false hope. You can see the scale of their fraud by searching their site on web (http://www.google.com/search?q=agloco)
Does this all mean they can get away by cheating not just few, but millions
I was sent USPS money orders. I cash 8 for a total of $6552 at my bank. (Each Mo was completely blank, for the amount of $819.00) Most of money was Western Union transfered to Nigeria. Money Orders, I later learned was missing the Water mark of Ben Franklin and security thread on document. FedEx delivery was sent from Nigeria. One other was from West Virginia.I am afraid to report. I can not repay bank when MO's bounce. I believe it started with e-bay purchases of fabric and internet gambling. Possibly included doing survey's Survey's paid with Paypal, lead to internet gambling, to job offers or way to make money to pay my bills. Gambling seemed to be legit as my bank receive my cashin. I am scared, don't know what to do. any advice welcomed. This has also lead to $50 million money transfer to my bank account, I sent 2 wire transfers also to Nigeria and now they ask for another $950. HELP!
Someone contacted me about their late father that has passed away and left them money. They want me to be the next of kin, and share the left over family valuables (including millions of dollars). This person claims to reside in Africa, and needs help coming to America to start investing. They are very very convincing. I've talked with them over the internet, e-mail, and they offered to call and talk but I told them my number was private. I went as far as I could until they ask for personal information. I'm at the point now where I claim the valuables from the bank. The bank (the scammer most likely) is asking for some personal information. With a little research of the bank, I came up with this http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://news.abidjan.net/article/%3Fn%3D215528&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DTEL%2B:%2B22505035421%26hl%3Den%26hs%3D3Am%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official
The site mentions the very SAME name of the person who is talking to me and offering the same exact information. So obviously my suspicions were true. So Apparantly this person has been doing it for awhile, so I want to make sure that they are dealt with properly before getting spooked. Anyone know what I can do?
I recently posted an ad selling a weight bench in which I had a response from someone who offered $50 more than what I was asking "to keep other buyers off". I was dumb enough to continue this transaction up to the person sending me the money orders which were also supposed to cover shipping, etc. I recieved 4 counterfeit money orders today and even though the post office confiscated them, of course, I want this person stopped. I do not feel that the post office has enough information to be able to catch this person. However I feel that with the information that I have through our transactions they should be able to trace this person through the internet to find out where these messages were sent from. Am I wrong in thinking this? What should I do?
I attempted to purchase merchandise online and my credit card was hit yet over a month later I still have not received my items. I would like to alert other consumers against purchasing item from this company. Possibly have this company investigated for fraud.
I was trading with this person, and i have shipped out couple of authentic designer purses. The rules on that site is you have to send out first if you are new, which I am. I shipped my items, about 3 weeks ago, and i still havent heard from her. I know she's online because she posts new items in her list.
If i file mail fraud, will she get arrested? I dont want that to happen, i just want her end, or get my items back. Please help
this is a well known scam. why can't the authorities do anything to stop & prosecute these scam artists ? they operate from UK adresses with names, phone numbers & email ID. i would have thought their tactics amount to basic fraud & would therefore be illegal ! isn't that straight forward fraud ?
There is an internet site called www.skinbleaching.net, they are liars and theives. They steal your money. They convice you to buy their poducts, withdraw money from your account and tell you to reorder.
I got an email from some person telling me that he represented some company in UK with address and phone number and I was told that if I work as a finance coordinator for them they will pay me. I was told that I would be getting there money, from which I will deduct 10% as my commission and send rest of money to someone through western union. I thought it was a fraud but was really surprised when I got money order worth $3400 by UPS and got an email from UK company representative to cash the amount and send 90% of money to a specific address. I am confused now. It seems to be too good to be true. what should I do now? please help me. bundles of thanks for the helpers.

Hello
Did you face Internet scam?
In your opinion: why it happens? And how we fight this rising fraud?
Do you think laws are enough for fighting it?
Can breeding (generally) or religious breeding (particularly) help in preventing us from it in future?
Thank you very much
the one defauded is taking a chance incase the fraudstar's input is geniune hoping to reap where he did not sow. Wanting to use one dollar to make a thousand dollars which in it self is fraud. or what do you think
What are the chances of receiving your money back if a money has been taken out of your account (through betting) over the internet? Is it easy to poove that it wasnt you? What's to say that it wasnt you in another part of the country? I just dont see it as clear cut. My girlfriend has lost quite a bit of money because of this. The bank has said 'fill a form in and if we can proove it wasnt you, you'll receive the money back'. What process do they go through to check this?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
The company has messed around and is supposed to fix my product. In essence, they keep me on the net for a couple of hours and always seem to find something they want to sell me that they say I need. The product is still not working right after two months and at least ten phone hours. So, since this is happening on the Internet, would it be Internet fraud or FBI case? Hopefully if others have had problems with Dell on Call, they will also file. Please help. NO I DO NOT SUE-OR HAVEN'T YET. THERE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TIME.
It has been 3 weeks since I ordered 2-units of celphone from SKTelecoms a.k.a kenelectronicsltd@hotmail.com in UK, but until now i havent received the items yet. The negotiation was thru a msn chat and the payment was made thru Western union. He told me that I have to pay another since he doubled the quantity of my order with one free (for a total of 5 celphones) because of their change in minimum order policy. Am I a victim of an internet fraud? Can I get my money that I paid to him? In what proper authorities should I call for help?
Internet Fraud comes up everyday and one wonders why people remain so gullible with seeking for money through fraudlent means. Those been caught on this fraud does it mean they are so petty in mind they dont see it as a fraud even in their own side. It takes two to tangle and for there to be a seller there MUST be a buyer. I believe any one caught by these fraudstars is also guilty of the offence of the fraudstar since one can not sow banana and reap plantain.
