Scam Fraud Reports
Millions of people receive fraud and scam letters in their email inboxes each and everyday. Most recipients simply discard the email. However, by reporting fraud and scams, you’re helping officials put these scum scammers behind bars. When you take the time to report fraud and scams you can also save innocent people from accumulatively being scammed out of millions of dollars. If you’re interested in truly helping officials put a stop to frauds and scams online, learn how to report fraud scams to the correct organizations. Below, there are a list of several organizations you can contact to report fraud and scams.
Reporting Fraud and Scams
The process of reporting fraud and scams is actually quite simple. There are several government and independent organizations devoted to putting a stop to internet scams and fraud. They depend on people like you to continue reporting fraud and scams in order to fight internet scammers. If you receive an email which proposes a business proposition from Nigeria or Wealthy Nigerian royalty in need of temporary cash, this is called a 419 scam. Start reporting fraud and scams pertinent to the 419 scams by contacting Fraudaid.com. If you receive an email stating that you owe money, report the fraud and scam immediately! The government will NEVER contact you through email; they’ll setup a meeting to discuss the issue in person. Do your part as a citizen by reporting the fraud and scam to FBI. Contact the IC3, an FBI operated organization devoted to putting an end to internet crime.
A more dangerous scam that is on the rise yet remains under the radar of many is the bank scam email. The bank scam email is effective because it is designed to look exactly like an email sent by your actual bank and contains a link for you to “sign in.” But, inputting your information into the linked sign-in page will only lead to the depletion of your bank account. If you’ve encountered an email scam of this sort, please report these fraud scams to the FTC. Reporting fraud and scams is always the right thing to do. Not only do you help put scammers away, but you help hard working people keep money in their retirement account and children’s college funds.

BEWARE of DIRECT TV. Direct TV is one of the biggest rip offs there is DIRECT TV. MAKES PROMISES THEY DON’T KEEP CHARGE YOU FOR SERVICES YOU DON’T RECIEVE.
I had already been out of contract with them for over a year when I called to cancel with them. My husband was out of work at the time and it was not in the budget. they begged us to keep the service, promised us discounts and everything, I said not its not in the budget and we don’t have time to watch TV. They said they would drop our payments from 65 to 20 a month for 6 months if we would try to stay with them. I told them I did not know but I would try it. After the 6 months I called and said we weren’t watching it we didn’t have time and I wanted to cancel. They said no problem they would send out a box for the reciever and that my acct was paid up it would show that I owed for the reciever until they got it and then they would credit me for that and my acct would be zero.
I sent the reciever out and a couple of weeks later I checked and my acct was zero. Months later I recieved a bill saying I owed 122.94 I called them spent over 2 hrs on the phone with reps, supervisors and it seems that they had it down that I had 2 recievers because a repair guy had come out and replaced a reciever and taken the old one but did not process the paperwork correctly. They were able to verify that they had the reciever and I owed nothing. A few months later I recieve a notice from Allied Interstate Collections that I owed Direct TV 122.94 I called them and told them what happened and they said call Direct TV. with I did I spent another 2 hrs on the phone getting it straighten out with a supervisor she sent me an email confirming that it was cleared. Direct TV’s site showed I owed nothing Allied showed I owed nothing. A few months later I get a letter from Allied showing I owe Direct TV 122.94. This time I asked to speak to the supervisors supervisor, I spoke to
Cheryl once again spending a great deal of time on the phone she investigated and called me back, appologizing profusely and said she had it cleared up once and for all and I would not be recieving anymore letters from Allied or Direct TV that it was their error and that it had been rectified. Now 3 months later I have recieved a letter from Allied saying once agin that I owe 122.94 and Direct TV’s website also shows that I owe that money I called and talked to Rob a supervisor that after an hr told me the charges were not for the reciever but all the discounts that they gave me while trying to retain my business they were now reversing because I did not stay with them. I said you can’t do that I never agreed to that I would have just canceled which is what I wanted to do from the beginning. They said someone should have disclosed that to me and they were sorry it wasn’t disclosed. I told her to pull the tape from the recorded phone calls. She said they couldn’t do that. Th
ey say that I owe the money now. Money that use to be for a reciever that was proven didn’t exsist and now for fees that were never disclosed. THIS IS A SCAM
