Con artists have practiced their nasty craft for all of recorded history. The internet is a relatively recent phenomenon and has had many positive effects on society. But one of the negative aspects of the internet is that it has expanded the reach and potential power of the con artist. Web sites, such as the ones below, are determined to use the internet to fight back. Check out these sites, there are many more like them, and learn about the nefarious agenda of these criminals. By understanding how they operate, you will be free from their clutches. Thank you for taking the time to be part of the solution to fraud.

The National Consumers League reports that in 2004, nearly 75% of scam victims were between the ages of 20 and 50 years old. The average loss was $895 per victim.

Rugged individualism often goes hand in hand with cutting corners. Washington State’s second-largest city is a prime example.

There’s the diploma mill that sold 10,000 scam college degrees to buyers in 131 countries. The $31 million parking-garage bond fraud that snared fund firms Vanguard, Nuveen and Smith Barney. And the many questionable enterprises around the continent that turn for legal and accounting services to firms in the heart of the Pacific Northwest’s Inland Empire.
