Scammed BP Holdings What to do so you don't get taken by common work at home job scams: Internet ScamBusters #62 Today we'll focus on Part 2 of our series on home-based business scams and work-at-home scams. If you missed Part 1 in last month's issue on the Top 10 scams of this type 10 Tips on Avoiding Work At Home and Home Based Business Scams 1. Never, NEVER pay for the chance to work! This is the cardinal rule. You should treat working at home just like you would treat working for an employer at their place of business. If you were going for a job interview in the 'real world,' how would you react if the interviewer asked you to pay $50 or $100 to land the job, for starter materials, or for a 'good faith' payment to make sure you were serious about the business? You'd think it was absurd. No legitimate company charges employees a fee for a job. Whenever you're asked to pay for the chance at a job, or information about work-from-home jobs, you know it's a scam. Home-based businesses, on the other hand, may require start-up costs to cover investments, materials, franchises, or other items. As we state in the next step, check things out before you pay anything. 2. Check out the business before you pay anything. Have you heard of the business that's soliciting your money? If not, check them out carefully. Make sure they have a physical address and a phone number. Call to see if it's a real phone number. Do a search on http://www.Google.com to see if you can find any positive or negative comments. Check references carefully. Some warning signs of scammer companies: - They use free Web hosting services (such as Tripod or Geocities). - They use free Web email services (such as Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail). - They use Post Office boxes for mailings and don't disclose their real addresses. - They won't give you a telephone number where you can contact them. 3. Use your credit card to make purchases. This sounds counter-intuitive, but if you are going to

bp holdings This is going to be my second post on scams. Earlier I had posted how I was about to get scammed in the posts how to avoid charitable donation scams. Last week I was reading a scam story, where a buyer bid and won three iPhones at a cheap price. The seller had good reputation and 100% positive feedback. Seller was throughout very quick to respond. Read more this original page to find out what actually happened then? The story motivated me in to writing this topic for today. A little help to prevent fraud happening in your life. Everyone likes a good deal - especially on items that tend to be more expensive, like jewelry and collectibles. As such, more people are turning to online auction sites like eBay to find these kinds of great deals. But the trouble with buying online is that there are unscrupulous sellers out there, and you need to know what to look for. Here are some tips to avoid scams when buying jewelry and other collectibles from online auction sites. Only Use Reputable Sellers The first thing to check when buying online is to only use reputable sellers. People who sell jewelry online, or other collectibles, know that their reputation is everything. If a buyer is going to shell out thousands of dollars, they want a sense of trust. And online, that all comes down to feedback. Make sure that you only deal with sellers who have a positive feedback rating over 98%, and who have transactions under their belt. An example that could be a scam is a new seller, with only one or two transactions over the last week. Most sellers who sell collectibles will have lots of transactions over several years. Also, look for sellers who have sold expensive items before. This can give you a sense that they know what they are doing. If the seller has only sold $10 electronic accessories, and is now listing a $5,000 diamond ring, this could be a red flag. The bottom line is that you should check the feedback profile carefully.

Wow….I'm sooo glad I read your advice & tips on names headlines & a title? It Really made me think about it…I had one in mind…but not now…it definately isn't the one..Thanks so much…….Mine will be a catchy one.

http://www.wikihow.com/Avoid-Scams-on-Craigslist Craigslist is known worldwide for their classifieds for just about anything - from toys to furniture. With a few simple clicks and an email address, anyone can post wanted and 'for sale' items. However, everyone needs to be aware and distinguish valid and scam posts in Craigslist. Search and browse within your own city or state limits. This will give you and the seller the opportunity to meet in person. Try all attempts to exchange in person instead of mailing money. Unlike E-Bay, Craigslist is not responsible of transaction mishaps. This means, if you send money to someone, you can't report it to Craigslist if you don't receive the item that you were paying for. Any reference to Craigslist that says "buyer protection" or "certified seller" is bogus. Insist on cash. Fake checks and money orders are common, and banks will hold you - not the seller - responsible. Never wire money to anyone under any circumstances. Most payments made by wire transfer are fraudulent. Prioritize posts with pictures over text-only posts. If you are interested in a non-image post or would like more details, contact the poster but do not make any offers until you are fully satisfied. If they don't get back to you, look for something else. Have some knowledge of what the item's average price is. This is more common for renting an apartment or buying a car over Craigslist. If you're not sure, browse through newspaper classifieds, other Craigslist posts, use the Kelley Blue Book for vehicles, or ask friends for a reasonable price range for that specific item.

Des centaines de milliers de personnes et d'entreprises ont été touchées par la catastrophe, mais, comme tous les mois passe, 10 000 prestataires plus émergent. Demain, avocats pour BP comparaîtra à la Nouvelle Orléans pour soutenir que son énorme projet de loi d'indemnisation est en décalage avec les faits et attaqués par les fraudeurs. BP va tenter une fois de plus faire valoir que les termes du contrat de l'an dernier pour indemniser les victimes du déversement sont maltraités par les « réclamations frauduleuses, excessives ou inadéquate ». Le géant pétrolier n'est pas seul en craignant que son système d'indemnisation est maltraitée. La semaine dernière, le juge Carl Barbier, qui supervise l'affaire de plusieurs milliards de dollars de dommages civils contre BP, nommé Louis Freeh, un ancien juge et le chef du FBI, pour examiner les allégations d'inconduite à l'office qui gère les demandes d'indemnisation.

The year 2007 brought one of the biggest scandals in memory to hit the futures community. Brokerage Sentinel Management Group collapsed in what prosecutors later said was a fraud by its chief executive and its head trader, leaving customers out hundreds of millions of dollars. That December, one of the leaders of the industry, Russell Wasendorf Sr., warned authorities that beefing up policing in response would be overkill. "The regulators missed on this one, but fraud is not easily detected," Wasendorf wrote in an editorial in Stocks, Futures and Options, or SFO, an industry magazine he published. "Those who set out to line their own pockets have ways of hiding it, at least for a while." He knew what he was talking about. Unbeknownst to regulators, Wasendorf had been stealing from his customers' accounts for years, a fact he confessed after he tried to asphyxiate himself in a car outside Peregrine's headquarters in July. The dramatic end to his career came amid the implementation of electronic monitoring by regulators of Peregrine's accounts, a step Wasendorf had resisted. Interviews with former employees, colleagues and associates, as well as an examination of court filings and company documents seen by Reuters, paint a picture of an entrepreneur who, by using relatively simple tools, was able to keep regulators off the scent for years. He did this even as his behavior grew increasingly showy and erratic. As the financial shocks of 2008 savaged his business, Wasendorf went on a multiyear shopping binge, finishing an eco-friendly $24 million headquarters, opening a gourmet Italian restaurant in Cedar Falls, breaking ground on a second kitchen nearby, and installing a wood-fired pizza oven in his backyard. Wasendorf pleaded guilty to mail fraud, embezzlement and lying to regulators last week. He remains in solitary confinement and under suicide watch inside an Iowa jail.
