[Wed Oct 15 15:18:15 PDT 2008] JeffE joined.
[Wed Oct 15 15:20:04 PDT 2008] Jason Very good question Ed for the public to know, and primarily a wire transfer is not reverseable after 24 hours. I will ask Brian to explain this in greater detail.
[Wed Oct 15 15:20:33 PDT 2008] Ed Thanks Jason
[Wed Oct 15 15:22:07 PDT 2008] 808Dad Are the perpetrators ever convicted? What is the conviction rate?
[Wed Oct 15 15:25:04 PDT 2008] Jason Kailee, this is a touchy question, but basically, the individual who makes the deposit is responsible for their accounts and ultimately takes the loss. With that said, educating the public is the best form of defense.
[Wed Oct 15 15:25:22 PDT 2008] Max joined.
[Wed Oct 15 15:25:33 PDT 2008] Kailee Thanks Jason.

[Wed Oct 15 15:26:12 PDT 2008] Jason 808dad, always a question that we receive! I will have Brian address this at the end.
[Wed Oct 15 15:26:56 PDT 2008] Scionara808 Could you give an example of a fraudulent scam occurring on Craigslist.com?
[Wed Oct 15 15:28:00 PDT 2008] shixish joined.
[Wed Oct 15 15:28:08 PDT 2008] shixish hi
[Wed Oct 15 15:30:52 PDT 2008] dave How much money does the bank lose a year due to fraud?
[Wed Oct 15 15:31:45 PDT 2008] Jason Britt, I think the last slide pertained to your reporting question. Did that provide clarity or would you like more specific information?
[Wed Oct 15 15:33:00 PDT 2008] Noreen left.
[Wed Oct 15 15:33:41 PDT 2008] JeffE left.
[Wed Oct 15 15:33:46 PDT 2008] JeffE joined.
[Wed Oct 15 15:34:41 PDT 2008] Britt It was good. Thanks.
[Wed Oct 15 15:38:03 PDT 2008] Jason Dave, that is a hard question to answer directly, but what I can confirm is that we receive about 5 counterfeit checks everyday in values between $850.00 thru $4,995.00.
[Wed Oct 15 15:40:10 PDT 2008] Kailee are the counterfeit checks made mostly by individuals or organized groups?
[Wed Oct 15 15:40:29 PDT 2008] Britt What email service (yahoo, Gmail, Aol, etc) are more commonly used by scammers/fraudulants?
[Wed Oct 15 15:41:09 PDT 2008] Kailee Are fraudulent checks a federal crime and/or state crime?
[Wed Oct 15 15:41:45 PDT 2008] Jason Kailee, although an individual may be responsible for generating the counterfeit items, it is All linked to organized crime in different countries.
[Wed Oct 15 15:42:49 PDT 2008] Ed any variation of yahoo in my experience (.com, .es, .it, .jp, etc)
[Wed Oct 15 15:43:47 PDT 2008] E031896 left.
[Wed Oct 15 15:44:16 PDT 2008] Jason Ed, most of my investigations link all cases to anything ending with.uk.
[Wed Oct 15 15:44:18 PDT 2008] Kailee how does identity theft tie into fraud schemes?
[Wed Oct 15 15:46:07 PDT 2008] Ed true, .uk as well... :)
[Wed Oct 15 15:47:41 PDT 2008] CRSHnBRN Thanks - very informative webinar!

I stongly believe that this webinar will aid in preventing future victims from these scams. I wish a friend of mine viewed this prior to his becoming duped by one of these very convincing scams.

webmaster — Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Mahalo for your feedback Camimoto! The archived video should be streaming now so feel free to send this URL to your friend and others as well. Mahalo!

seiko — Sunday, October 26, 2008

I purposely had my two elderly aunts watch this webinar because they seem to be attracted to every type of "get rich" opportunities that they see. This really opened their eyes but my 18 year old daughter also enjoyed watching it as well. She mentioned having several friends who almost got caught in the middle of the secret shopper scheme, but had them watch this webinar and they realized it might not be legimate. Thank goodness!

webmaster — Friday, December 19, 2008

Glad to hear it was helpful to the community. Mahalo for your feedback seiko!

PERPINAN — Monday, February 16, 2009

This was very informative and eye opening. Please provide more of these!

zoom — Sunday, February 22, 2009

How often? double to triple digit reported cases per month. How done? mail, email, internet (craiglist, ebay, work at home, etc) Note that majority of checks are counterfeits of actual accounts. Great job Brian!

zoom — Sunday, February 22, 2009

Not sure if I missed it, but the financial burden is on the person that got duped. Usually a ten to twenty day hold on out-of-state and dif country check, but sometimes (why? i dunno) the banks allow the money to move. one credit union allowed about 300K to go out of country. no phishing stuff?
