    Extractions: BY A BANKRUPTCY SCAM OPERATOR Are you having trouble making your home mortgage payments? Are you facing foreclosure on your home? Get all the facts before you pay someone to help you work out your mortgage problems. "Bankruptcy foreclosure scams" target people whose home mortgages are in trouble. Scam operators advertise over the Internet and in local publications, distribute flyers, or contact people whose homes are listed in the foreclosure notices. Sometimes they direct their appeals to specific religious or ethnic groups. These scam operators may promise to take care of your problems with your mortgage lender or to obtain refinancing for you. Sometimes they also ask you to pay your mortgage payments directly to the scam operator. They may even ask you to hand over your property deed to the operator, and then make payments to the operator in order to stay in your home. But instead of contacting your lender or refinancing your loan, the scam operator pockets all the money you paid, and then files a bankruptcy case in your name sometimes without your knowledge.

    Extractions: Vacuum cleaner salespeople (usually men) have to rank among the most audacious and aggressive people after our money. You know, the old "watch how this machine can pick up this huge pile of dirt" routine, which an amazing number of people still apparently fall for. I remember one salesman in particular, who wouldn’t give up even when it was pointed out to him that the apartment in question had absolutely no carpeting. "You’ll be buying one soon, won’t you?" He was shown the door. This all comes to mind with a recent warning from Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Bob Runciman, who says disreputable vacuum cleaner salespeople are out to suck the cash from consumers' wallets this summer. The minister offers some tips on how to avoid getting cleaned. "Unscrupulous door-to-door salespeople are experts at convincing consumers to purchase goods that they don't really need or want," the Minister says. "We need to protect residents and let them know that they can turn to us for help."

    Extractions: THE SCAM " This letter will be a pleasant surprise, as we have not had any previous business dealings. I acquired your contact from a very reliable source, but never disclosed the nature of this business with the source." This is how a typical Advance Fee Fraud letter begins. It is perhaps better known worldwide as the "Nigerian 419 Scam" after an article in the Nigerian criminal code which deals with fraud. The writer goes on to explain that he has tens of millions of dollars in (often ill-gotten) currency, but he needs your assistance in moving the money out of the country. In exchange, you will receive a generous percentage of his fortune - and his eternal gratitude. Delete the letter. Now! The money does not exist. The story is fictitious, as you will soon discover. You will soon be asked to pay a series of rents, fees, expenses and bribes totaling thousands of dollars. By the time you realize you have been taken, your money has been moved to an offshore account and the scam artist has moved on to his next victim. There are a number of other variations on the 419 scam, but all have only one aim: to part you from your money.

    Extractions: Auction scams are the number one source of scams and fraud on the internet. They make up 78% of the internets scams. Sure you can get some pretty good deals and find anything from used shoes to jet planes, but you can also be burned if your not careful. Here's a few tips to follow to help from being taken to the cleaners. SOME PROBLEMS Electronics especially pose an inherent problem in that they can easily be broken during shipping. A dishonest seller can easily say that the item worked fine when it was shipped. If you didn't purchase insurance than you have no recourse if the seller won't exchange the item. Even if you purchased insurance, it's a headache to claim it. Read the item description carefully. Try to determine if the item is new or factory refurbished. Deceptive descriptions or miss-represented items rank pretty high on the rip-off scale also. This is nothing more than a blatant lie about the item. You'll see this in the title or the description regarding the condition or the fact that the item is new when in fact it's not.
