Within minutes it consumed the building's upper 3 stories. Firemen were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders weren't tall enough. People watched in horror as workers jumped to their death. The final toll was 146 people 123 of them women. It follows the waves of Jewish and Italian immigration that inundated New York in the early years of the century, supplying garment factories with cheap, mostly female labor. Dickensian work conditions led to a strike a coalition of socialists, socialites, and suffragettes took on bosses, police, and magistrates. Revulsion of the catastrophe led to an alliance between idealistic labor reformers and pragmatic politicians of the Tammany machine Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs)

    Extractions: The more you know about the various scams, the easier it is to protect yourself. Here are some tips that may help you identify and avoid telephone fraud. Voicemail Users Beware Consumers are beginning to see the effects of a new form of fraud on their telephone bills. This new fraud, in which hackers compromise voicemail systems in order to make fraudulent collect, third-party or direct-dial calls, has surfaced industry-wide. It isn't until consumers receive notification from their telephone company's security group, notices something different about their voicemail greeting, or receives a large bill that they realize they've become a victim. Defense: Always change the default password provided by the voicemail vendor; Choose a complex voicemail password, of at least six digits, so it would be difficult for a hacker to guess; Don't use obvious passwords such as an address, birth date or phone number;

    Extractions: Stores Birthstones Gemstones HOME ... Contest Tips for businesses to protect themselves against Internet fraud. Credit Card Scams Some people buying on the Internet are not honest. The most common method is to use a stolen credit card. Savvy business owners suggested the following tips. Always be tactful with your customers as they may have accidently given you an incorrect digit. If you are shipping to a different address than the credit card billing address, always do additional checking. If the order is greater than $100, go to the credit card bank and have them call the card holder to see if they did indeed order. Be extra careful if sending to Chicago IL, New York City NY, Jacksonville FL, Canada (especially Eastern Canada), Bulgaria, Nigeria and Romania. Always manually check orders from free email accounts such as hotmail.com. Waiting 24 hours after an order is placed to contact your authorization service can help. Stolen credit cards are often reported within 24 hours. In some cases, crooks are giving the correct address and then intercepting the package at the package destination.

    Extractions: Search: FTC Consumer Alert PDF Version How Not to Get Hooked by a 'Phishing' Scam Internet scammers casting about for people's financial information have a new way to lure unsuspecting victims: They go "phishing." Phishing, also called "carding," is a high-tech scam that uses spam to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, and other sensitive information. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the emails pretend to be from businesses the potential victims deal with - for example, their Internet service provider (ISP), online payment service or bank. The fraudsters tell recipients that they need to "update" or "validate" their billing information to keep their accounts active, and direct them to a "look-alike" Web site of the legitimate business, further tricking consumers into thinking they are responding to a bona fide request. Unknowingly, consumers submit their financial information - not to the businesses - but the scammers, who use it to order goods and services and obtain credit.

    Internet scams and fraud By Judith Fabrics.net. Information on fraud and scams can be found all over the internet. Be careful and do your research.  
    http://www.fabrics.net/ScamFraud.asp
    
    Extractions: Recently, we received an order from an individual in Nigeria who, in addition to ordering fabric, also wanted us to include cell phones in their order. Of course we don't sell phones or electronic equipment of any kind so we advised this individual that we only sell fabric. The order and shipping of the fabric came to around $3,500, which was to be sent to us in a cashier's check. We did receive the check by FedEx from Nigeria but the check was for the amount of $10,000 USD written by a bank in Ohio. As per our usual practice, we researched the bank that issued the check on the Internet, and found that the FDIC had issued a warning regarding this bank and one other bank. Evidently, counterfeit cashier's checks have been circulating since before June of 2003. Both banks have been handling this fraud for many months. For more information, see
