    Re: Cut and paste snippets about scams.

    Spring is here, time for the guys with the truck to just happen to be in your neighborhood.

    Police Warn Homeowners of "Gypsy"-Style Scam Artists | NBC 10 Philadelphia

    Some other related scams...

    Fortunetelling

    This is the most recognizable of all Gypsy crimes. Not all fortunetellers commit crimes and not everyone who enters a Gypsy fortunetelling establishment will become a victim. But everyone who does enter is a potential victim. Fortunetelling establishments are found in every sizable city in the United States. Most who enter will pay their ten or fifteen dollars and leave. Some will keep coming back until their life savings are gone. The victims are often those who are at a "last resort" stage of life and are often suffering from a lost love, death of a family member or illness.

    Embarrassment leads to rare reporting and, if reported, the fortuneteller is gone. If the victim is lucky, because of investigative pressure, he/she may get all or some of their money back.

    Home Repair

    The home repair cons are rarely reported crimes and often ignored by the law enforcement community. The "driveway coating/sealing" scam where the loss is $50 to $100 is common. It looks good until the first rain. House painting and roof repair work are the same way. The homeowner is approached by several men in a pick-up truck (sometimes accompanied by children) who have "leftover" materials from another job and they say they will do the repairs on the victim's home for a stated dollar value to make extra money.

    This can also be an opening for a burglary (home invasion). Who would refuse a child a drink of water on a hot day or the use of the bathroom? Guess who does the theft that's not discovered until hours or days later? Who's going to complain about losing $50 on a driveway-coating job that washed away? Yet, there was the 84-year-old widow who lost $367,000 over 22 months for home repairs. They are just prey.

    What's $50? Multiply that by 10, 15 or 20 victims a day with two, three or four teams in a family working different areas of town.

    Home Invasions

    We're not talking about the armed take-over, so common among many gangs. This is better known as a residential burglary and methods vary. This is usually done by the Polish Gypsies; usually committed in the daytime and while the homeowners are present. Entrance may be through a back door or window or by distraction at the front door. Commonly, there will be two women (with or without children) walking in an affluent neighborhood and speaking a foreign language. A male driver will be close by, usually in a rental car, to aid in a quick escape.

    A few years ago, in McLain, Virginia, Alexander Haig's wife was gardening in front of their home. At the same time the residence was entered from the rear and $654,000 worth of jewelry was taken. Gypsies.

    This type of Gypsy crime is easy to detect since only jewelry, silver, gold or cash is taken and nothing has been disturbed.

    Distraction Thefts

    Better known as a store-diversion robbery, suspects will be European or Yugoslavian Gypsies but described by victims as "foreign-speaking" or "Latin/Hispanic." The crime is not planned in advance but more of a "mood" thing. The key is to create a diversion of some sort by five, eight or even 12 males and/or females. After calm is restored, the store usually discovers all of its cash has mysteriously disappeared. Violence is never used but total confusion and pandemonium reign during the theft.

    This can be very rewarding. How about $42,000 taken from a supermarket and a three-month crime spree by four Gypsy women resulting in $500,000 in cash?

    Insurance/Financial Frauds

    This is the trend of the future and a mountain of money is being made in fraudulent insurance claims. "Slip and Falls" and staged auto crashes are the most common. These are committed with little detection because the settlements are always made quickly and for cash. The amounts are never outrageous and are usually the "Just cover my medical bills" kind of a thing. The businesses involved are usually eager not to have an insurance claim on their record, so out comes the cash.

    A quick $1,000 to $2,500 cash settlement is not bad for a few minutes of work a couple of times a week.

    "The cops don't care and what's best, they don't know anything about us. Hotel security has no idea what's going on. Gypsies are running their scams every day and no one is the wiser." -Las Vegas Gypsy

    In 1992, Disney Corporation in Orlando, Florida, was settling for $1.4 million in a well-publicized case. There were allegations of a young lady being beaten and raped in her Disney hotel room when a male, dressed as Dracula on Halloween, broke into her room. The plot fell apart literally hours before the check was signed, when the woman's sister told the police it was all a con. The entire scam was planned from start to finish. The brother was the "intruder" who did, in fact, brutally beat his sister. "We had to make it look real," he told police. The woman's sister snitched because she discovered that the $1.4 million check was to be split three ways and not all hers!

    This, if successful, would have been the biggest scam ever known to have been pulled off by Gypsies. Within the Gypsies' community, there would have been an inherent honor, one a gaje could ever understand, in accomplishing such a con.

    Las Vegas

    Even after the national publicity gained from this episode, Las Vegas, Nevada hotels and casinos are being scammed daily by Gypsies. Just as when the Mob ran Vegas, it is also true with the Gypsies that there are no bosses and the territory is wide open. All problems are taken to Los Angeles for a "kris." The Vegas Gypsies have ties to Colorado, California and Florida. These ties to other states present unique problems since both Colorado and Florida experience problems in the Gypsy community and turf wars, arson, guns and drugs are becoming more prevalent. Gypsies are coming to Vegas along with the great population growth. A Mecca for cons exists!

    Vegas has opened up a whole new financial world for the Gypsy con. The hotels are experiencing more "slip and falls", missing items from cars parked in valet or damage to cars, "accidents," missing property and other scams. It's easier to pay off (even up to a $1.4 million settlement) than submit to your insurance company or go to court.

    Also, what started in San Francisco has now arrived in Vegas as a big moneymaker. Called the "sugar-daddy sweetheart" deal, it's usually spread over a period of several months. A young, attractive Gypsy girl (and her family) will target an elderly wealthy male and provide companionship (sex is not normally involved) which will eventually end up costing the male everything. Preying on a senior citizen's loneliness often nets big bucks.

    According to Gypsy sources, Las Vegas is literally being raped daily and doesn't even know it yet. This is not surprising since Gypsies and the Travelers are notorious "high rollers." While gambling for fun, they often figure they may as well work a little and make even more money.

    Unfortunately, this ignorance exists in a lot of other places, but there is hope. Awareness is slowly replacing oblivion in many areas. Gypsy crime is dependent upon the ignorance of the police and public alike. Mobility, disguises, false identification, lack of communication, reporting and prosecution are counted on by the Gypsies. So, the key is identification, from photographs and fingerprints to the details of the crimes.

    The Asset Protection Kit Scam Continues To Lure Suckers


    The invitation may be for free, or it may be for a few bucks. The invitation will promise the knowledge of how the superwealthy protect their assets. The invitation will also talk about the “Father of Asset Protection”, the “Grandfather of Asset Protection”, or something similar. The invitation will be from the “Society for Asset Protection and Doctor’s Education” or some like-sounding group.

    You’ll go to the seminar, and hear lots of scary stories of folks being sued and losing everything. Then you hear how this particular group has used their very specialized knowledge to put together a kit — yes, a kit, — by which you can put together your own highly-sophisticated asset protection plan for only $5,000 or something.

    At the end of the seminar, the crowd will rush up to the front to buy one of these kits — you’ll be lucky to just get the last one!

    And, if you do, you’ve been scammed. As in defrauded. As in you are as big a sucker as those folks who fall for the e-mail from the Nigerian Princess.

    Those people rushing to the front to buy the kits? They are shills. The scam artists pay associates to sit in the audience and feign interest, and then rush to the front and throw down their checks (later torn up, or re-used at tomorrow night’s seminar). If a dozen folks rush to the front, you might be the only person actually paying. Shills are a strategy long employed by casinos to get folks gambling, and it is strategy employed to near perfection here.

    But it’s still a good take for them, with the kits going at $5,000 or so. At that rate, you only have to sell kits to a couple of suckers to have a really good night.

    The kits themselves are made to really look like something. They can come in their own custom briefcase (a $40 value) or even a gilded lockbox (a $60 value). Plus, you’re getting about 5 bucks worth of paper that is worth about 5 bucks. Or maybe $100 since that is what the “ used” materials go for on Ebay EBAY -0.79%, such as at "asset protection kit" | eBay

    Why spend $5,000 when you can get the very same materials for $100? Only a sucker can answer that question.

    But even at $100 the price is too high. For somebody to think that they could put together anything like a viable legal structure working from a kit is akin to thinking that they can use a kit to perform an ACL operation on their knee in your kitchen with the steak knife. Lots of blood, lots of pain, but nothing good accomplished.

    The usual sucker is a physician who of course thinks that he can do it all himself, and thus save a few bucks. What happen is that he will flounder around with the kit, and then finally give up — usually triggering a lot of unnecessary tax filings in the process. I’ve only talked to a few hundred suckers (predominantly physicians, since this is who they market to) in the last couple of decades.

    In the end, what you are paying for is basically a bunch of limited partnership or limited liability companies, and the paperwork that goes with them. Note to file: Equivalent paperwork is often available for free on the Secretary of State’s website. The trick is not filling out the forms, as much as it is figuring out how it all fits together around one’s particular assets. No kit will ever get close to doing that.

    In fact, it is very possible to put yourself into a worse situation by trying to use one of these kits for asset protection. By trying to move assets into entities, valuable creditor exemptions could be lost, and considerable unforeseen taxes triggered.

    The folks selling this stuff are simply lowlife scam artists, who would be selling mango juice as a cancer preventative if they thought folks could get away with it. Instead, they put on a suit and pretend they know something about asset protection.

    Usually these groups circulate across the countryside from that international financial center known as Utah, which seems to be the beehive for these particular scammers. For whatever reason, Utah has long been the hotbed of asset protection scams, going back to the Merrill Scott & Associates days, when an asset protection law firm embezzled their client’s funds en masse. These asset protection kits are just another part of the scam.

    Very simply, it is from Utah and involves asset protection, it is probably a scam.

    If you have been scammed, the odds of getting your money back are almost zero. Maybe you can sell your kit on Ebay for $100, but maybe not since you’ll have to compete with all the other kits sold by all the other suckers there. Your best bet is to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at Federal Trade Commission | Protecting America's Consumers and with your own state’s Attorney General’s office.

    And if you still believe these kits are real, well, then I’ve got a Nigerian Princess that I’d like you to meet.

    Both of these have disclaimers at the bottom not to reproduce, so I just attached the links as they caught my eye.


    First, just because someone is an Ex Coach or sports star or reality TV star does not mean all the other scam rules go out the window.

    This is especially infuriating as it targets military families who are separated.

    If people call for money, hang up. Even if you owe it, have them send a letter. I can't come up with any reason to give a credit card number or worse a greendot/moneygram transfer to people who call on the phone.

    GRAMMY???????????

    Old Lady.JPG

    BOISE -- Following KTVB's story on Monday night about an older woman stopping in a Boise tow truck company with an odd story and a tearful request for some cash to save her home, at least nine other businesses from Nampa to Mountain Home have come forward with similar stories in southwest Idaho.

    The scam: A collector's truck and a sad story

    Kathi VanderMeer, owner of Boise Valley Towing, says an older lady going by the name Cheryl Barnes came into her shop on April 25. "Barnes" said her late husband Jack Barnes had made a connection with VanderMeer's husband and left him a 1955 Ford truck.

    Then, the story turned to needing $566 in cash to pay a contractor so she wouldn't lose her home. The red flags started appearing.

    "We went back and forth over, and it was odd," VanderMeer said. "But only because I kept feeling like someone was going to jump out and say 'smile, you're on candid camera'. It was that kind of weird. But I had this very nice, elderly lady there with tears in her eyes telling me her story."

    Since VanderMeer came forward, she, KTVB, the Better Business Bureau, and Boise Police have collectively taken multiple reports from small business owners that the same woman came in with the same story.

    The stories are grouped around April 2013 and then April 2014. Some business owners have given her money.

    Auto repair shop manager: 'She was smooth'

    Kent Beckman, the manager of State Street Auto Repair, says the woman stopped in his store last year. Feeling terrible for the woman and her sad story, he gave the woman money. She was supposed to come back with the truck for his boss and return his money, but she never did.

    "Man, she was smooth. The tears, the whole bit. She gave me a hug for giving her the money, and I'll be right back and thank you so much," Beckman said. "That was probably about 4:00 in the afternoon. She said she'd be back before 6:00. About 6:15, I got this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach."

    He reported the scam and probable fraud to Boise Police, but he didn't have any photos or video, so there wasn't much to go on.

    "I remember throwing the officer's card away several months ago thinking that'll never happen. That's done," Beckman said.

    Then, Beckman's coworker saw VanderMeer's story on KTVB. Beckman saw the security video from the towing company and knew it was the same situation.

    "When I saw the description of the story and the lady's face, I thought, that's it. Let's go," Beckman said.

    Another shop owner hit this year: 'She acted like she knew everybody in town'

    Doug Kriebs, owner of Kriebs Highway 30 Auto Parts in Mountain Home, says the woman calling herself Cheryl Barnes came into his shop about two hours before going to VanderMeer's Boise shop on April 25. While she had a well-rehearsed story and would pick up on names to drop, he was skeptical of the story she was pitching, too.

    "I'm thinking, I don't recognize this at all. I don't place the names. I don't place anything," Kriebs said.

    The older woman told him about a truck and began telling him about financial troubles with her home, but customers came in, and she never ended up asking for money.

    "Then I had customers walk in, so she couldn't finish it," Kriebs said. "It was coming. It was going to come. But she didn't feel comfortable talking about it with other people in here."

    Kriebs was able to pull security camera video of the woman getting out of her car, which he says appears to be a brand new dark blue or black Volkswagen Passat, possibly with California plates. Another business owner in Mountain Home later told Kriebs he is certain the car had Washington plates.

    Better Business Bureau taking multiple reports

    The Better Business Bureau says red flags in this case were an overly complicated story from the woman, offering a gift that seemed to good to be true, and asking for cash only.

    "She was a very sweet little old lady, but by the same token, that's what scares me the most is because when your emotions are involved, it's really easy to draw people in," VanderMeer said.

    "When she can break your heart, then you open your wallet and give her some money," Robb Hicken, Better Business Bureau, said.

    The BBB has now taken multiple, similar calls from businesses. Hicken believes the scammer selects shops traditionally owned by men and uses her stories to appeal to them, especially a collector's truck.

    "Salvage yards, concrete companies, welding companies. Not typical businesses that a woman would be operating. And I think that's her mode is that she goes in and talks to the men and pulls on the men's heartstrings," Hicken said.

    Hicken advises if you're usure about giving a person money, take a step back from the situation and ask someone you trust if it sounds like a good idea.

    "Make sure you're looking at the person and the incident and don't get taken away by the emotion," Hicken said.

    Boise Police: 'It has renewed the investigation'

    Boise Police, which initially took Beckman's report a year ago, has combined that case with VanderMeer's security video and report and other tips now that people are realizing there's a pattern.

    "Patterns are extremely important in establishing a pattern of behavior that is strong enough to take a case all the way through prosecution," Lynn Hightower, Boise Police Department, said.

    Hightower says this particular case highlights why people should always call in tips, even if they seem small or incomplete.

    "You never know when your bit of information combined with other little bits of information really builds a solid case against someone who needs to be held accountable for the crimes they're committing," Hightower said.

    Beckman is certainly glad VanderMeer shared her story and her video, so he was able to start his case back up again. He hopes the woman is caught, but he says he doesn't have high hopes of recovering his money.


    'Old lady' offering truck to businesses is indeed a scam | KTVB.COM Boise
    "At least we're building a case, and just warn everybody else to watch out for her and get more information than I did when she's in there. Because it's a quick one," Beckman said

    Scammers targeting Mt. Juliet
    Tuesday, May 6, 2014

    From the Mt. Juliet Police Department

    Recently, the Mt. Juliet Police Department has been receiving calls regarding sophisticated phone and internet scams that may be targeting citizens in our community. Mt. Juliet is not unique to this trend, and scammers target everyone. Scams continue as nationwide crime problem, but they can be prevented. Scam artist simply want to make money for themselves by defrauding you through tricks.

    The most common scamming trend today deals with pre-paid credit cards, and the most common card of choice is the “Green-Dot Money Card.” During this scam attempt, the scam artist will ask the victim to obtain a pre-paid card, deposit funds to the account, and then provide the scam artist with the account number and/or pin number to enable them to remotely access the funds from anywhere in the world.

    If any stranger contacts you to give money through a pre-paid card, check, or money order, then that should be a major red-flag. Unfortunately, people and/or businesses do not just hand out large sums of money. Hang up the phone or delete the email immediately if this happens to you. In many cases, the scammers are overseas and committing their scam attempt from another country. However, the scam artists act like they from the area by rerouting their international phone number through a U.S. number. Sadly, the likelihood of charging the scam artist is very slim because they are International crimes and hard to track.

    To ensure you are not a victim of scams, take the following steps:

    1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    2. Become educated on the latest scam trends.

    3. If someone calls you and asks you to obtain a pre-paid credit card, it is more than likely a scam.

    4. Never give out any confidential information over the telephone or internet unless you are absolutely certain with who they are and completely confident that they are legit.

    5. If there is any doubt, verify the truth or stop communication.

    The Council of Better Business Bureaus offers great information on scam trends, and the following are the BBB’s Top Ten Scams of 2013:

    Medical Alert Scam – A new twist to the telemarketing scam hit 2013 hard. With promises of a “free” medical alert system, the scam targeted seniors and caretakers and claimed to be offering the system free of charge because a family member or friend had already paid for it. In many cases, seniors were asked to provide their bank account or credit information to “verify” their identity and, as a result, were charged the monthly $35 service fee. The system, of course, never arrived and the seniors were left with a charge they had trouble getting refunded. Easy rule of thumb – be wary of “free” offers that require your personal information upfront and always verify with the supposed friend or family member that the caller says paid for the service.

    Advance Fee/Prepayment Scams – In challenging economic times, many people are looking for help getting out of debt or hanging on to their home. Scammers pose as representatives from phony loan companies and use authentic-looking documents, emails and websites to fool consumers into parting with their money. Some sound like a government agency, or even part of BBB or other nonprofit consumer organizations. Most ask for an upfront fee to help you deal with your mortgage company, creditors or the government (services you could do yourself for free), but leave you in more debt than when you started.

    They all have a common theme: Victims pay a smaller amount of money in anticipation of something of greater value, but then you receive nothing in return. You should not send a wire transfer to receive a loan or a credit card.

    Auction Reseller Scam – Many people turn to EBay and other online auctions sites to sell used items they no longer need, and relatively new electronics seem to do especially well. But scammers have figured out a way to fool sellers into shipping goods without receiving payment. Usually the buyer claims it’s an “emergency” of some sort – a child’s birthday, a member of the military shipping out – and asks the seller to ship the same day. The seller receives an email that looks like it’s from PayPal confirming the payment, but emails are easy to fake. Always confirm payment in your EBay and PayPal accounts before shipping, especially to an overseas address.

    Arrest Warrant Scam – This one seemed to really take off last autumn. In this scam, con artists are taking advantage of technology that can change what is visible on Caller ID, and allowing them to pose as the office of the local sheriff or other law enforcement agency. They call to say there is a warrant out for your arrest, but that you can pay a fine in order to avoid criminal charges. Of course, these “police” don’t take credit cards; only a wire transfer or pre-paid debit card will do. Sometimes these scams seem very personal; the scammer may refer to a loan or other financial matter. It may just be a lucky guess, but don’t be fooled into thinking you are about to be arrested.

    Invisible Home Improvements – Home improvement scams vary little from year to year, and most involve some type of shoddy workmanship from unlicensed or untrained workers. The hardest for homeowners to detect, and therefore the easiest for scammers to pull off, are repairs or improvements to the areas of your home that you can’t see: roofs, chimneys, air ducts, crawl spaces, etc. Scammers may simply knock at your door offering a great deal because they were “in the neighborhood,” but more and more they are using telemarketing, email and even social media to reach homeowners. Helpful videos on YouTube can add legitimacy to a contractor, but consumers have no way of knowing if the video is real or “borrowed” from a legitimate contractor. Check out home contractors at bbb.org before saying yes.

    Casting Call Scam – This is not as widespread as some other scams, but it seems to have really been on the increase in recent years, thanks to the popularity of television talent shows like “American Idol” and “Project Runway.” Scammers pose as agents or talent scouts looking for actors, singers, models, reality show contestants, etc., and use phony audition notices to fool aspiring performers into paying to try out for parts that don’t exist. There are several ways this plays out. It can simply be an unscrupulous way to sell acting lessons, photography services, etc., or it can be an outright scam for things like fees for online “applications” or upcoming “casting calls.” Even worse, the information provided on an online application could be everything a scammer needs for identity theft.

    Foreign Currency Scam – Investments in foreign currency can sound like a great idea, and scammers frequently use real current events and news stories to make their pitches even more appealing. They advertise an easy investment with high return and low risk when you purchase Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong or, most recently, the Egyptian Pound. The plan is that, when those governments revalue their currencies, increasing their worth against the dollar, you just sell and cash in. Unlike previous hoaxes, you may even take possession of real currency. The problem is that they will be very difficult to sell, and it’s extremely unlikely they will ever significantly increase in value.

    Scam Texts – With online and mobile banking skyrocketing, it’s not a surprise that scams quickly follow. One major tactic recently is the use of scam texts, known as “smishing,” to steal personal information. They look like a text alert from your bank, asking you to confirm information or “reactivate your debit card” by following a link on your smart phone. Banks of all sizes have been targeted, and details of the scam vary, but the outcome is the same: scammers get your banking information, maybe even your ATM number and PIN. You may even inadvertently download malicious software that gives the scammer access to anything on your phone.

    Do Not Call Scams – The National Do Not Call Registry (U.S.) offer consumers a free way to reduce telemarketing calls. Scammers call anyway, of course, and they’ve even found a way to scam consumers by pretending to be a government official calling to sign you up or confirming your previous participation on the Dot Not call list! In one variation, scammers ask for personal information, such as your name, address and Social Security/Social Insurance number. In another, scammers try to charge a fee to join the registry. Either way, just hang up. These services are free, but sharing personal information with a scammer could cost you a lot.

    Fake Friend Scam – Did you ever get a Friend Request on Facebook from someone you already thought was your Friend? If you hit Accept, you may have just friended a scammer. A popular recent scam has been the theft of people’s online identities to create fake profiles, which can be used in a variety of ways. A new Friend can learn a lot about you to scam you later, “recommend” sketchy websites that download malware, use your account to scrap information on your other Friends, even impersonate a military officer or other trustworthy person to perpetrate a romance scam. Be careful on social media, keep your privacy settings high, and don’t share confidential information. You can’t always be sure that your Friends are really your friends.

    Scam of the Year: Affordable Care Act Scam - Scammers had a field day with the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), using it as a way to fool Americans into sharing their personal information. Scammers would call claiming to be from the federal government and saying the would-be victim needed a new insurance card or Medicare card. However, before they can mail the card, they need to collect personal information. Scammers do a lot to make their requests seem credible. For example, they may have your bank’s routing number and ask you to provide your account number. Or, they may ask for your credit card or Social Security number, Medicare ID, or other personal information. But sharing personal information with a scammer puts you at risk for identity theft.

    These things usually travel the country, worth sharing with your military friends and their families are aware.

    Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell says a new scam is targeting veterans, claiming they have they're owed thousands of dollars.

    Veterans are being targeted over the phone, with the scammers claiming to be from Veterans Affairs. They're telling veterans that they have thousands of dollars coming to them.

    Pickell says he's received reports from veterans about these suspicious phone calls. The scammer says he is from the VA and he informs the vet that there was a problem with their records and they are owed up to $20,000 in back pay.

    Then what happens next is where the red flag goes up. The scammer tells the vet that in order to receive the money they need their bank account information and they will wire the money into their account.

    Pickell says this one is more believable in light of the scandal surrounding the v-a.

    "Because of all of the bad publicity that the Veterans Affairs has received you always get some scammers taking advantage of a situation," says Pickell. "Elderly people are trusting and some of them have given their account numbers and been wiped out."

    Pickell says if anyone receives a call like this, don't give out any information and hang up.

    If you feel you've been victim to this scam, call the Genesee County Consumer Protection Bureau at 810-257-3407.

    Re: Cut and paste snippets about scams.

    "Only" offering 10% a year makes it seem more legit.

    Small investors lose millions in ‘ethical’ forest


    Jon Ungoed-Thomas and Duncan Campbell Published: 6 July 2014




    Investors were promised big returns from growing teak in the Amazon rainforest (Shobeir Ansari)

    FAMILIES and pensioners who were encouraged to invest in “ethical” tree plantations in the Amazon rainforest have lost millions of pounds in a scheme being examined by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
    Two entrepreneurs, Omari Bowers, 37, and Andrew Skeene, 36, claimed that investors could expect returns of about 10% a year from growing teak in the rainforests. They said teak had proved a better investment than gold, property and shares.
    The business partners, both from London, impressed their clients with their commitment to regenerating deforested land in Brazil but investors are now pursuing millions of pounds that have been lost in the Global Forestry Investment scheme.
    Skeene and Bowers declined last week to provide detailed information about the scheme to The Sunday Times. But investors have investigated the men’s backgrounds and published warnings on the internet about their alleged activities.
    They are now trying to trace the men’s assets and details of their spending. They are also trying to find details of companies and bank accounts in Britain, Dubai and Brazil.
    Gwyn Maysey, 66, from Sydenham, southeast London, said she had invested £5,000 in the teak scheme but knew of another investor who was allegedly owed £2m.
    “We don’t think we will get our money back but we want to warn other investors,” she said.
    Maysey added: “I would like to see a freezing order placed on their bank account and other assets around the world to ensure they never get to enjoy any of their gains.”
    The retired civil servant said she had been assured that the scheme’s trustee was regulated. But the structure of the scheme had been changed after she invested so that it was no longer under the supervision of the financial regulator.
    Gwyn Maysey says she is among victims of the scheme
    GFI Consultants had been founded in 2010 and traded as Global Forestry Investments. Skeene and Bowers had offices in London, Brazil and Dubai and the scheme was promoted as “profitable and beneficial to the environment”.
    Plots at Belem in Brazil — known as the Belem Sky Plantation — were offered at £5,000 each and investors estimate the value of the total scheme could have been in excess of £20m.
    Stories from some of those who put their savings into the scheme have appeared in online forums. While some investors did initially see a return they were unable to recover their money when the payments stopped.
    One woman told how she had invested £10,000 which she had been awarded after her partner was killed in a traffic accident. “I was assured GFI would deliver not only my initial capital but also 10% returns per year,” she said.
    “They knew full well that this money was precious to us — not having a partner to support us. They have made no contact whatsoever.”
    In March last year GFI Consultants was the subject of a winding up petition in the High Court. Six months later Global Forestry Investments said payment delays were the result of an unusally long rainy season in Brazil and banking problems. But investors were not told a key company belonging to Bowers and Skeene had gone into liquidation.
    Omari Bowers and Andrew Skeene ran the ‘ethical’ investment plan
    Andrew Callen, a solicitor who is acting for those who lost money in the teak scheme and also in a Bowers and Skeene currency trading scheme known as Global Forex, said: “Millions of pounds has gone missing to date. A lot of people had money in different schemes which has not been accounted for.”
    Callen said Bowers and Skeene were already subject to individual voluntary arrangements under which agreed payments are made to creditors. Bankruptcy proceedings were also now planned.
    Roberta Ward, director of the mypropertymentor.co.uk website, has highlighted the losses under schemes promoted by Bowers and Skeene. But she was warned by Mackrell Turner Garrett, a legal firm acting for Bowers and Skeene, to remove her “defamatory” statements.
    In a statement Bowers and Skeene said some of the information obtained by The Sunday Times was inaccurate but would not comment further until they had spoken to legal advisers. Mackrell Turner Garrett said it no longer acted for Bowers and Skeene.
    Investors have complained to the City of London police and the SFO about schemes promoted by Bowers and Skeene.
    In a statement the SFO confirmed that it was reviewing information concerning the conduct of Global Forestry Investments and Global Forex and their employees.

    Another darling of the Talkgold and MMG HYIP ponzi forums busted

    Arrest made as Ponzi scheme targetting Filipinos investigated in UK

    12 Jun 2014

    Bristol police make arrest over alleged major Ponzi fraud involving the Rican Investment Group


    Richard Cannon is understood to have been arrested and is being held in prison prior to a crown court appearance

    The director and boss of the Rican Group of "investment" companies based in the English west country city of Bristol is believed to have been arrested and has been remanded in custody until the 1st July 2014.

    The Rican companies seem to have specifically aimed themselves at Filipinos both in the UK and the Philippines, as well as Indonesians, with Cannon and fellow directors making recruitment and promotion trips to the Philippines as well as in the UK.

    He was arrested on suspected fraud charges and appeared at Bristol Magistrates Court where he was remanded in custody to Bristol Crown Court for an initial hearing.




    Richard Cannon with fellow director, Filipino Mitchel Tomogsoc

    From the number of complaints flooding in, it seems at least 300 people and maybe more have become victims of what seems to have been a pure Ponzi scam.

    A Ponzi is where investors are paid dividends only from money put in by new investors. They invariably collapse under their own weight as there are only an infinite number of investors. Once new investors stop coming in, the money soon runs out.
    Avon & Somerset police have made a brief statement on the matter in which they are appealing for alleged victims to come forward.

    Investigation into alleged Ponzi scheme


    We are carrying out an investigation into a number of companies which form part of the Rican Group based in Fishponds, after receiving multiple reports of fraud relating to an alleged Ponzi scheme.


    A 54-year-old man from Pucklechurch has been charged with two counts of fraud and appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday 9 June.

    He was remanded in custody to appear at Bristol Crown Court for an initial hearing on 1 July.
    If you believe you have been a victim of this company, please call 101 and ask for Avon and Somerset Police, quoting crime reference 124275/13.

    Companies known to be in the Rican Investment Group include:

    Rican Leisure and Travel - application made Dec last year for voluntary liquidation, struck off 8 Apr 2014
    Rican Health and Wellness - application made Dec last year for voluntary liquidation, struck off 8 Apr 2014
    Rican Financial Options - application made Dec last year for voluntary liquidation, struck off 8 Apr 2014
    Rican Professional Networks - still listed as operational on Companies House Register
    Rican Online Marketing - application made Dec last year for voluntary liquidation, struck off 8 Apr 2014
    Rican Capital Funding - application to liquidate terminated 23 Apr 2014
    Rican Belize - application to liquidate terminated 23 Apr 2014

    [All information above taken from the Companies House Register as of 12 June 2014]

    As it was introduced on the MMG HYIP ponzi forum



    and the Talkgold HYIP ponzi forum

    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    you is very important and very legitimate so I want you to take this
    seriously. All i want is an honest business transaction with you. I
    will start by introducing myself. My name is Sheikh Yaquby, I am a
    financial executive with the RUSD Investment Bank Inc Malaysia. I have
    been working with the RUSD Investment Bank Inc. of Malaysia for 27
    years, I am 55 years of age and have a good record with my bank.

    I am the personal Accountant/Investment Manager to Late Engineer
    Adams Weil,A contractor who deposited an investment account totaling
    $3,472,000 (Three million, Four hundred and seventy two Thousand Us
    dollars) after being paid for his first concluded contract with Exxon
    Mobil Corporation (Esso Malaysia Berhad). He used to work with the
    Exxon Mobil Corporation here in Malaysia as a foreign Expatriate.
    Unfortunately, on the 11 October 2005, my client/customer, and his
    mother who was his only surviving family from his record were involved
    in a car accident along Princess Hwy at Weerite and lost their lives.

    Since his death i have made several inquiries to your embassy to
    locate any of his extended families or relatives but this has also
    proved unsuccessful. So i am tracing his last name over the Internet
    to locate any member of his family that was how i found your contact
    and am contacting you for us to work together in filing a claim of the
    funds.

    My bank has issued me several notices to provide the Next of Kin being
    his personal Investment/Account Manager before his death or the
    account will be confiscated within the next 14 official working days.
    The last notice for claim came to my desk three days ago. I am
    contacting you to assist in repatriating the funds and property left
    behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
    bank.I am seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin to
    the deceased since you bear the same last name so that the proceeds of
    this account valued at $3,472,000 US Dollars can be paid to you, If we
    can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back
    to me immediately for us to proceed with the claims. I propose that
    upon successful completion of this deal, we will split the proceeds
    according to a ratio to be agreed in subsequent communication between
    us. I am after the success of this transaction with your full
    cooperation.

    All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
    through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate
    arrangement that will protect you and i from any breach of the law.
    Please know that am arabic and will not lie because of my religion and
    I would expect the same from you. I will attach my staff ID on my next
    email if you are interested in the proposal and will send you more
    information directing you on further procedure on how we can claim the
    funds.

    Thanks for your anticipated cooperation,

    Regards,
    Sheikh Yaquby

    Sheikh Yaquby

    Jul 3 (4 days ago)

    to me
    Thanks for your response. I want you to know that this transaction is
    very legitimate and there is no risk involved as i am the personal
    accountant to Late Engineer Adams Weil,I am going to send you my job
    identification for you to confirm the authenticity of this
    transaction. This is very important. Before we can proceed further, I
    want you to assure me that you will be honest during the transaction,
    and as soon as the funds are transferred to your account we can meet
    in person. You should understand that this transaction can be
    successful if we work together and as soon as I give you all legal
    procedure you will receive the funds from the bank, so I really need
    your honest cooperation before we proceed. More importantly, you have
    to keep this transaction confidential, I also want you to take it very
    seriously as the amount of money involved is huge.

    I want us to try and work this out without wasting any much time. The
    funds cannot be released to me by the bank, the funds can only be
    released to you as the next of kin to Late Engineer Adams Weil this is
    why you have to take it very seriously. I am willing to direct you
    through the legal procedure to claim the funds. All I require is your
    assurance on this deal, lets make good use of this opportunity. I will
    present you to the bank as the next of kin to Adams Weil. Then you
    will apply that his entitlement be transferred to you through the said
    legal processes. I shall direct you on the process of the claim, We
    shall start by sending a formal application to this effect. I will
    copy you with the text of the said claim and transfer application to
    this effect. Thereafter, the bank will request of you the relevant
    back up documents to your claim and application according to the
    demand of our probate law for transfer of funds. Once you have
    provided the Bank with their demands, they would now be under legal
    obligation to transfer the funds to your submitted bank account.

    As part of the procedure of the claims process, the documents that
    will be required from you will have to be acquired through legal
    procedures as the application of claim will be complimented with a

    will protect us from any breach of the law now and after the funds has
    been transferred. Thus this transaction also requires confidentiality
    and Above all, I personally count on the will and blessing of Allah to
    facilitate our plan and understanding, to produce not just success,
    but also peaceful sharing of the funds at the end of the day and a
    wealthy family business relationship thereafter. I also pray for
    establishment of cordial relationship between us, God being our
    helper.

    As soon as I hear from you and receive your assurance, I will send you
    the Text of Application for you to contact the bank for the release of
    the funds in the account of Adams Weil to your account as his next of
    Kin.

    Warning over abusive email threat

    People are being warned about an abusive email that may be part of an international network which steals financial details from victims.

    The email contains obscene abuse directed to the recipient and alleges private images have been posted on the internet.

    It also contains an embedded link, which activates malicious software once it is clicked.

    Detective Superintendent Brian Hay, from the Queensland Police Service's fraud and cyber crime group, said the email was designed to trick people.

    "As disgusting and offensive as this email is, it is a clever and manipulative way to garner an emotional response, piquing the curiosity of the reader into clicking the link which will ultimately infect your computer," he said.

    "A worse case scenario, and one that we have seen happen, is your computer becoming part of an international network of compromised computers and your identity and financial information being compromised."

    Anyone who comes across this email is urged to delete it, scan their computer for malware and change all their passwords.
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    This email seems to be hitting a lot of states.


    Turnpike warns about E-ZPass scam
    5:01 p.m. EDT July 14, 2014

    The Ohio Turnpike is warning E-ZPass users not to fall for an e-mail scam.

    The emails inform customers that they are in arrears and ask them to service their debt as quickly as possible.

    "The emails were not sent by the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission and they are likely an attempt to steal personal information or funds from unsuspecting customers," said turnpike Executive Director Richard Hodges. "This warning may help prevent the turnpike's valued E-ZPass customers from being scammed."

    The scam has also been reported in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.

    Customers who have questions about the validity of a message regarding their E-ZPass should contact the turnpike's customer service line at (440) 234-2081, ext. 1075.

    6 On Your Side Consumer Investigator

    KNOXVILLE (WATE) - If there is one group of people that keeps up with the latest changes in technology, it is con artists.

    Anita from Morristown asks: "How do con artists use local phone numbers when they pose as a local police officer?"


    Phony calls supposedly from local law enforcement

    Up to date, savvy con artists take advantage of technology that changes what is visible on your caller ID unit, allowing them to pose as the local sheriff or police officer when they call to tell you there is a warrant out for your arrest and that you need to pay a fine in order to avoid criminal charges.

    Of course, the caller doesn't take credit cards, only a pre-paid debit card or a wire transfer will do and they claim you had better pay it pronto.

    Law enforcement officers will never call you to collect a debt; you'd get a letter. So, don't be fooled into thinking you are about to be arrested.

    Fake Publisher's Clearing House calls

    This is one you've heard from us before.

    You receive a phone call from an 876 area code and the gentleman on the other end with a Jamaican accent is calling to tell you that you have won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes, which consists of a large amount of money and a new Mercedes Benz.

    He makes a promise that the Prize Patrol is waiting to deliver your new car and money, but first you must purchase a GreenDot Money Pak card to cover taxes and other processing fees.

    Once you call back and give him the Green Dot card number, you never hear from him again and your money is gone.

    Remember, Publisher's Clearing House does call to tell say you are a winner, and if you won a prize, you should never send money to collect your winnings.

    Timeshare resale scams

    Some fraudulent operators are targeting timeshare owners, calling to say they have a buyer ready to purchase your timeshare at a ridiculously inflated price.

    Related story: Jefferson County man tricked by timeshare scam

    The timeshare scammer will require that you pay up front fees for the service, such as closing costs. However, once you send the money, you never hear from the scammer again.

    We get so excited when good news is relayed on the phone, like you've won a pile of money. Con artists prey on our greed. Don't fall victim

    6 On Your Side Answers: How do scammers use local numbers to pos

    ================================================== =======
    This is an interesting free service to set up. I think I heard about it from Consumer Reports, if not it was some similar magazine so I feel pretty good about them being trustworthy. It has cut my robocalls for the most part down to 1 and 1/2 rings before cutting them off. In the past it was about 4 rings, or enough to ruin my naps. One number that is spoofed went through before still goes through, but is now cut off at 1 1/2.

I was also warned to be careful with the kind of person i connect through internet because most of the people are fake and can destroy my future if i don't pray for God to guide me to select real person but surprisingly your mail response came up and you sound as if you were reading my mind at the moment. I thank God for directing me to you. I really don't know how we can convince each other

    'Fraudsters' create fake Facebook pages in names of MH17 victims

    A number of fake Facebook pages have been created using the names of Australian victims killed in the MH17 tragedy by so-called "click fraudsters" aiming to profit from a lucrative internet scam.

    The pages, some set up using the names of three young Western Australian children killed when the passenger jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine, contain a single link to a website that purports to contain information on the crash.

    However, users are instead hit with a series of ads for online gambling and a number of other products and services.

    So this is an advance fee loan scam. The fact that they don't know how to spell CUSTOMER was very endearing to me. The $850 they are asking for to process the loan is money that will never be seen again. The interest rate is exceptionally good, if I could borrow at 3% I would not be dealing with a fakey interweb banker. The more likely scenario is people who have tried to borrow other places with no success, and then scumbags like this pretend to ride to the rescue.

    We are financial builders and we give out no credit check loans to everyone ranging from personal, commercial, business loans with our amounts ranging from min $5,000 - max $1,000,000 with a fixed and very low interest rate of 3% do you want to own a company?

    Along the lines of ID, just because someone has their picture taken with someone famous does not mean they don't need to be investigated.

    I would go as far as saying, if the picture is with a politician you DON'T want to give them your money. I say that half jokingly but in thinking back on major scams quite a few were run by people who seemed well connected. Additionally, it is very easy to be generous, whether to charity or politicians, when you are spending money that belongs to other people.

    Seems you can get it out of your system here...
