Fighting back against e-mail fraud You've got mail - but all too often it's fraudulent these days London, 8 September 2003 - ICC Commercial Crime Services (CCS) is backing a recent London Metropolitan Police move to curtail "419" e-mail frauds - which attempt to entice victims by inviting them to accept huge sums on their bank accounts and retain a share for themselves. The initiative aims to reduce the countless fraudulent e-mails appealing for assistance being spammed to in-boxes around the world. Once contact is made, the fraudsters seek to persuade their victims to forward money to bank accounts in Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and even London so that the bogus transaction can be completed. These frauds are commonly known as "419" frauds, because of the relevant article in the Nigerian Penal Code. Initially experts advised recipients simply to ignore 419 letters, and this worked to a limited degree. However, based on a recent dramatic rise in the volume of such letters sent over the Internet, the London Metropolitan Police are suggesting a more pro-active approach intended to have a direct impact on the capacity of the perpetrators to carry out these frauds. Metropolitan police are advising that the letters be forwarded to the abuse mailbox of the ISP from which the e-mail originated.

Are You A Victim Of Mail Fraud Or Misuse Of Mail? You have received a chain letter in the mail. You recognize the last name on the list, and wonder whether or not that person is counting on you to continue the chain. You would rather not be bothered with it, but would also prefer not to disappoint the sender. The best action you could take for your friend would be to advise him or her the U.S. Postal service warns against participation in chain letter schemes. Any chain letter that requires payment of anything of value, even if it is only a handkerchief, is illegal under Federal Lottery Laws. Chain letters are also considered to be fraudulent, because they promise the possibility of large returns for only a small investment. The mail has made it possible to obtain almost anything without leaving home. But in doing so, it has also created a market for many dishonest activities. In addition to the chain letter, another type of mail fraud is the Lonely Hearts Club. Also known as Matrimonial or Pen Pal Clubs, they all have the same purpose: that is, to have correspondence with members of the opposite sex, which would lead to the possibility of marriage. People seeking romance and companionship are offered memberships and mailing lists from companies which call themselves Lonely Hearts Clubs. In some cases, the mailing lists provided by these clubs have been used to solicit money for various reasons. For example, a man might ask for travel expenses from a woman with the promise to join her, and then never show up.

Bureau of Consumer Protection February 12, 2002 Contact: Paula Kurtzweil Walter, 202.326.2583 Chain Emails: Just Another Ploy or the Real McCoy? Few people escape them - chain letters. They used to circulate by regular mail, but these days, they're more likely to come via email or Internet chat rooms. Chain letters generally include a list of names and addresses with instructions to send something - say, a small sum of money - to one or more names on a list. Then, you are instructed to remove one or more names from the list, add your name to the bottom of the list, and email the letter to a certain number of other people with directions on how to "continue the chain." One "chain email" making the rounds since 1999 promises participants they'll make at least $46,000 in as little as three months simply by sending $5 to each of four or five people on a list. The letter offers assurances that the money-making scheme is perfectly legal. It even tells skeptical consumers to check it out with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) Associate Director for Marketing Practices. Are these claims true? We decided to check with Eileen Harrington, the FTC's Associate Director for Marketing Practices, who summed up chain letters this way: "They are not legal, no one is going to get rich from a chain letter, and people who forward chain messages are breaking the law."

Embargoed for 10:30 am Release October 1, 1998 Federal/State Campaign Targets Mass Mail Fraud New Initiatives, Private Sector Contributions Are Designed To Give The Bandit In The Mailbox The Boot Federal and state officials today announced new initiatives including an unprecedented step to reach out to every household in America to help law enforcers combat the mass mail fraud that's costing U. S. consumers millions of dollars a year. At a press conference in Washington, the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and National Association of Attorneys General outlined the new initiatives, which included a report on law enforcement actions taken against hundreds of con artists who defrauded consumers using direct mail, e-mail and illegal, unsolicited faxes. While the agencies pledged a continued law enforcement effort, all the officials spoke to the power of consumers in the fight to end mass mail fraud. "Consumers are conned out of millions of dollars each year by direct mail scams. Bogus sweepstakes, travel scams, chain letters, illegal foreign lotteries, sham prize offers the list is endless," said Jodie Bernstein, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "But by following a few tips, consumers can avoid mass mail scams and give the bandit in the mailbox the boot." The tips are part of the FTC's new consumer education campaign. With private and public sector partners, the campaign will help state and federal officials in their campaign to target the bandit in the mailbox.

87. Annette Fabry Pled Guilty To One Count Of Mail Fraud Annette Fabry Pled Guilty To One Count Of mail fraud And One Count Of Causing A Business To File A False Income Tax Return. US Department http://www.oig.dol.gov/public/media/oi/fabry.html

U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Eastern District of Wisconsin 517 East Wisconsin Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53202 TTY 414 / 297-1088 May 16, 2003 NEWS SUMMARY: GREEN BAY, WI Steven M. Biskupic, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced today that ANNETTE FABRY (DOB: 10/28/36) pled guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of causing a business to file a false income tax return. The charges related to a fraud scheme Ms. Fabry ran from 1997 to 2001. Annette Fabry, was the owner and operator of A.F. Business Resources, Inc. in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Ms. Fabry approached several businesses in Wisconsin and offered to prepare and submit the necessary documentation for them to obtain tax credits for hiring individuals who qualified under the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) or Welfare-to-Work (WtW) tax credit programs. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit programs are federal programs where employers are given federal tax credit for hiring individuals from certain groups that have particularly high unemployment rates and have been long-term welfare recipients. In Wisconsin, to claim tax credits under either the WOTC or WtW Tax Credit programs, employers must submit documentation to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to obtain a certification indicating that an employee meets the eligibility requirements of one or both of these programs. As a result of Ms. Fabry’s preparation and submission of claims to the DWD, she would collect a fee of 15% of the tax credits she enabled her clients to claim. As part of her scheme, Ms. Fabry fraudulently obtained certifications from DWD by submitting documentation that she had forged and altered to appear that employees met the eligibility requirements of the WOTC and WtW Tax Credit program, when indeed they were not eligible. Ms Fabry used the false certifications she obtained from DWD to obtain fees from her clients. Relying on the false DWD certifications provided by Ms. Fabry, the businesses (or the owners of these businesses), filed federal income tax returns claiming tax credits under the WOTC and WtW Tax Credit programs to which they were not entitled.

U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney District of Oregon 1000 SW Third Avenue, Suite 600 Portland, OR 97204-2902 Office (503) 727-1000 Fax: (503) 727-1117 March 19, 2001 PRESS RELEASE Re: U.S. v. Barclay Grayson, CR 01- 115 (BR) Kristine Olson, United States Attorney for Oregon, announced that Barclay Grayson, age31, of Portland, Oregon, today pleaded guilty to mail fraud, a felony, in connection with his participation in a scheme to defraud clients of Capital Consultants, including various union pension plans. An information filed in U.S. District Court alleged that Grayson, and others misrepresented and concealed facts relating to Capital Consultant's investment of client funds in a loan of $160,000,000 to Wilshire Credit Corporation. (The Wilshire Loan) Barclay Grayson was a minority owner of Capital Consultants, LLC, an investment advisor located in Portland, Oregon. He joined the firm in August of 1996 and was appointed president in July, 1999. Capital Consultants provided investment services to clients, including union pension plans (Plans). For its services involving private investments, Capital Consultants received an annual fee ranging from two to three percent of the principal balance invested. During the fall of 1998 and Spring of 1999 WCC's largest client, Wilshire Financial Services Group (WFSO) became insolvent. WFSG negotiated a bankruptcy plan with creditors, including Capital Consultants and WCC. As part of this plan, the Wilshire Loan was not repaid, but rather was converted into an equity interest. The information alleges that this equity interest had substantially less value to Capital Consultants' private equity investors.

Home Departments Neighborhoods Consumer Affairs ... Brochure Request Form GASOLINE REFUND DOES NOT EXIST BUYER BEWARE CONSUMER ALERT!!! The City's Consumer Affairs Division has been notified that an old gasoline refund offer that has been mailed yearly to consumers for the past ten years, has once again been mailed to Jacksonville residents. The refund offer states that "if you were a licensed driver in the years 1976, 1977, and 1978 you can send this form in for a $78.00 refund." To complete the form you must provide your name, address and driver's license number, plus the form must be notarized. You are instructed to mail the completed form to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs, Anti-Trust Division. The Division contacted the Department of Legal Affairs, and was told by the Public Information Director that in 1986 the Attorney General did file an anti-trust claim against a few gas distributors, and at that time certain licensed drivers were eligible for a $28.00 refund. The refund offer ceased after March 1986, and there has been no legitimate gasoline refund offers available to Florida drivers since 1986, however, bogus refund mailings have continued every year. The Department of Legal Affairs has tried to locate the person or persons behind the mailings, but to no avail. Fortunately, the gasoline refund offer does not ask for an advance fee, but consumers do mail the form expecting to receive the $78.00. The Consumer Affairs Division offers the following tips to consider before responding to any direct mail offer:

Posey March 7, 2004 Pretty much no one who uses E-mail is a stranger to fraudulent mail. My mailbox gets flooded with hundreds of fraudulent messages every single day. These messages promise everything from being able to lose ten pounds in ten minutes to making thousands of dollars a day with no effort. In fact, I once saw a rather humorous cartoon that said to imagine what life would be like if every SPAM that you received came true. The cartoon character was young, rich, well endowed, and was living a rather enviable life style. Promises of these too good to be true claims are not what I’m talking about though. I’m talking about mail fraud that appears to be completely legitimate. For example, back in November there was an E-mail going around that appeared to be from Earthlink. The message was asking people to go online and update their billing information. The message looked so authentic that many people unknowingly handed over their credit card numbers to a con artist.
