Educating the public regarding Internet Investment Fraud/Ponzi/Scams

Whether you know it or not, you have a bulls-eye painted on you; because �YOU� are a target of Internet Fraud. In America you have a 1 in 10 chance, and in Europe a 1 in 8 chance, of being defrauded in the coming year. Many of you have already been a victim of fraud and don�t even know it yet. This fraud takes on many different forms: E-mail, Mortgage, MLM (Multi-Level Marketing), or an Investment Opportunity via the Internet, by phone, a meeting, or from a well-meaning friend. It has been estimated that in 2007, over $500 Billion Dollars worldwide was stolen from Internet Investment Fraud. 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, or knowing how to report it. In addition to being defrauded, 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?; and   ?  Links to other sites providing additional educational resources and information.   There are many links here to provide you with as much information as possible.
