TRADE FRAUD-
Have you ever been a victim of fraud? One out of 5 people have experienced trade, consumer, credit card, social security, mortgage or real estate, mail, eBay auctions, Pay pal, telephone, or internet fraud. Statistics reveal that identity theft is the fastest growing trend in and around the world. As e-commerce continue to grow , there are still some people who do not engage in internet purchases because of the high fraud risks that are associated with this and the fear of there information being compromised,stolen,or duplicated by hackers. Also, with cyberspace being virtually impossible to police, it is hard to eradicate fraud. There are many places to report different types of fraud. However what happens when you are the victim of internet export - import,e-commerce, telephone, or trade fraud. How do you police cyberspace? The world wide web is a breading ground for all types of fraudulent transactions that would be virtually impossible to stop and or locate. Depending on the country that you have to report the incident to, it could be nearly impossible to find anyone or to get justice resulting in the recovery of your money. Statistics reflect 33% of fraudulent transactions that take place over the internet are from people who make non-auction purchases, then have to file a complaint because they never received their merchandise. Most innocent victims do not even know where or how to report this type of internet trade fraud. Most people, who have been ripped off, spend countless hours reporting and trying to find someone to complain to about the crooks or scammers that have ripped them off. Victims normally spend countless hours trying to speak with someone that would result in justice and stop someone else from falling victim to this same scam. However, a lot of time it just ends up being a lot of wasted time spent and then redirected back to FTC or some government agency to fill out an internet form that will be compiled into a database. Most people that have been a victim of trad fraud, really wants someone to report the incident to that would result in justice, however, majority of the time it only leads to a dead end.
How do you find international justice across the globe, with every country handling reporting and policing things differently? For example, if you live in the USA and you enter into a trade relationship with a person in Nigeria, and you never receive the items that you paid for, just who will you be able to report this instance to? Or if you inter into trade relation with someone in China, and you live in the UK and you never receive the item that you paid for, just who would you report this to. Would you report it to the UK officials? Or China or Taiwan officials? Is there an Internet Crime Complain Center that you would be able to report this to? Most common questions that go unanswered are mainly, will I get my money back? How long would it take? Do they handle individual cases? Who is my contact person? Just how do you find international trade justice when it is at an all time high? Other questions that you would try to find answers to would
be, Where is the location of this Internet Crime Complaint Center and who would I ask for when I get there? Who is going to return my individual loss?
When will someone truly implement someone that will end this epidemic? Most of these centers do not take on personal losses. They receive your complaint and compile it into some data system to generate statistics for a geographical area or location, to try to pin-point a certain characteristic and or pattern. Well, we would like to think that your hard earned money is something far greater that some statistical data, or some fact finding mission that will not result in the refund of your money, nor bringing charges against people who say that they have items and really don’t. In fact, any money that is loss over the web to a scamming predator preying on innocent victims, is worth a lot more than just filing out a form and hoping that someone would return a call or take action against the scammer. It appears that the information we provide to certain companies, only helps to identify certain types of scams, and not to bring justice to the individual scammer.
We have done personal research and we have found out that global trade is one of the most lucrative businesses today. However, Trade Fraud has become its deadly counter part. There are countless victims of trade fraud, both international and national, where people have engaged in business with and can not even verify the identity, location, or country of the scammer and are only left to find out that they have fallen victims to scammers and professional internet thieves. Trade Fraud scammers are the hardest to report. These scammers are located in different countries where there are different rules to address internet fraud. Most countries do not have anyone even handling individual reports of trade fraud. These scammers prey on innocent hard working small – medium size business owners, who are looking to trade and develop their business, and not looking to get ripped off or becoming victims of fraudulent companies that pretend to have a product and they don’t. Due to the fact that people engage in international trade over the internet, you have no way to verify their identity. In some instances a scammer will use a legitimate company that is registered with a country and then refer you to check them out as if it was his/her own. Therefore he just committed identity theft, but there was no one to tell. We have received feedback from certain authorities regarding this company identity theft situation, and they informed us that this type of practice is becoming common, but with the war on terrorism taking first priority, it is not being placed as a priority. So not only did the companies commit identity theft, they specialized in ripping people off by finding a crooked niche that would result in little to no persecution. There are many reports that are made regarding fraud export – import from and on china, Nigeria, Indonesia, UK or United Kingdom, USA and more in many different countries. Scammers posing to have items that they do not have and taking your hard earned money.
One day I was surfing the web, and I found this online community named Global Trade Fraud Fighters and they are a community that is taking a stand against this growing epidemic. You can search hundreds may be even thousands of trade fraud reports made by other community members. You can search by email address, or you can enter the suspected scammer country to see if they have any reports from other trade fraud fighters, and if another community member reported it to there community, then you can see exactly what happened to them, therefore it could save you from flushing thousands of dollars down the fraudulent companies drain. There is a monthly community investment of $14.99 per month. But in my opinion, that’s nothing comparing to losing thousands of dollars to scammers posing as if they have something that they do not. In fact that is an investment in your business that just may stop you from losing capital to a person or company that does not exist. This community really takes a stand against this sort of epidemic and I am truly glad that information from other victims will do more than just sit in someone’s database or on a desk, but thru Global Trade Fraud Fighters , have been made available to others that are looking to avoid the loss of money to internet predators that lie and say they have a product and don’t just to try to steal your money. It is a good investment into your company. Crooks are normally ready to scam you out of your money around the holidays. Especially around November and December, because they know that people are trying to stock there stores for the Christmas Holidays. They know that stores and businesses are looking to get there hands on all the latest hot market items of the season. The internet never sleeps, it is always up 24 hours a day 7 days a week. What happens if you experience trade fraud after government working hours?
