For Release: October 31, 2000 Law Enforcers Target "Top 10" Online Scams; Consumer Protection Cops From 9 Countries, 5 U.S. Agencies, And 23 States Tackle Internet Fraud In a year-long law enforcement effort targeting the top 10 Internet scams, 5 U.S. agencies, consumer protection organizations from 9 countries and 23 states today announced 251 law enforcement actions against online scammers in "Operation Top Ten Dot Cons."

The FTC and the United Kingdom's Department of Trade and Industry, and Office of Fair Trading today announced an information sharing and coordination agreement to combat cross-border fraud.

51. Scams, Hoaxes, Fraud And Identity Theft Social engineering. The usual starting point for scams and fraud is social engineering the art of getting people to drop their guard. http://cybercoyote.org/security/deception.htm

Happy Trails Computer Club home security overview attack vectors Deception and Deceit on The Internet Scams, Hoaxes, Fraud and Identity Theft The Internet is a natural breeding ground for scam artists and vandals because it lends itself to anonymity. Perpetrators can hide very effectively by "spoofing" or quickly changing their email address, and/or by using offshore or " zombie " computers. Email and Web sites are often used in conjunction to perpetrate the fraud. Virtually all spam conceals a scam of some sort. If it's too good to be true, of course it isn't, but some spam can be mighty appealing. Identity theft is probably the worst fraud that you can be a victim of, but it's not necessarily more likely online. Social engineering The usual starting point for dirty tricks, scams and fraud is "social engineering" the art of getting people to drop their guard. A good social engineer can get many people do something or reveal something when they'd ordinarily refuse. Good virus writers carefully engineer their email message to get people to open their virus-carrying attachment. Malicious software often "piggy-backs" on legitimate software. The file that you download and run does just what it claims it will. However it also does it's dirty work on the sly. For example, it also might install a Trojan horse, or spyware. The social engineering in this case is simple. You are attracted to something useful, and for some reason you don't think to check if you could get more than you bargained for.

54. Catching Online Traders In A Web Of Lies An article describing the growing problem of internet stock fraud including recent pump and dump scams. http://www.fmew.com/archive/lies/

Catching On-line Traders in a Web of Lies: The Perils of Internet Stock Fraud By Todd S. Corey In the age of the Internet, the wake of one the most vigorous bull markets in recent history, and the heady aftermath of rapid market fluctuations, more and more ordinary people rush to open Internet brokerage accounts with hopes of reaping gains at low commissions-trades as low as $8.99. However, the increased potential for large returns so too increase the possibility of Internet stock fraud. The Internet, the same medium which broke down the barriers to trading stocks also broke down some of the barriers to protect traders from securities fraud. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the United States agency charged with, among other things, protecting investors and maintaining integrity of the securities markets, has spent almost seventy years developing techniques against securities fraud, for the protection of the investing public. However, an increasing number of stock fraud cases over the past two years have raised questions as to whether the securities laws and the SEC's regulations are fine-tuned enough to combat this new, high tech wave of stock fraud. In efforts to calm the fear of investors, the SEC has been scrambling to catch-up and enforce the traditional rules to curb Internet stock fraud. This article primarily focuses on one of the more common Internet stock manipulation schemes: "pump and dump," and analyzes this scheme within the Section 10b and Rule 10b-5 context, by examining recent Internet stock fraud cases using the classic "pump and dump" scheme.

56. How To Avoid Scams And Fraud Learn how to avoid Internet fraud, scams and get rich quick schemes packaged as legitimate work opportunities. http://www.webmomz.com/Business-Articles/avoiding-scams.shtml

PARTICIPATE JOIN CHAT FORUMS ... Web Design, Hosting, Merchant Acct Services How to Avoid Scams and Fraud "If you are looking at employment or business opportunities online, watch out for scams," Tamsevicius says. "Many get-rich-quick schemes are cleverly packaged, making it hard to sift legitimate work opportunities from the swindles." Common cons include Nigerian letter schemes asking for money, pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, and "work at home" offers that involve stuffing envelopes or assembling crafts. Here are some tips for sidestepping scams: 1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Any offer that promises to make you rich overnight with a business that works while you sleep is a rip-off. Watch out if a company promises large profits for little or no work, or claims no experience is necessary. If anyone can do it, why should you pay to learn about it? For that reason, multilevel marketing (MLM) has gotten a bad rap. Granted, there may be some legitimate money-making programs out there, but there are also a large number of overhyped, overpromising, underdelivering scams too.
