A. With a fraud alert or security freeze, your credit report/score can still be checked. The fraud alert is something that is redone every 90 days. It requires any new creditor to call you before any new credit accounts can be opened. A security freeze completely freezes your credit. Even you can't open a new line of credit w/o unfreezing. That costs about $10 per credit bureau depending on where you live. A landlord will still be able to check your report to see if you're a good risk.

How do I report a fraud by a shipping forwarder in Singapore?
Q. My company, based in Singapore, asked a shipping forwarder to forward a good purchased in the U.S. The good costs less than 200 USD. The forwarder quoted shipping total costs of low hundreds USD, with no further information during shipping. When it arrived in Singapore, the charge became 2000USD. When we refused to settle it that way, the forwarder implyed that they will come to disturbe our store. It was clear that this was a calculated fraud.

When was the last voter fraud conviction in a national election?
Q. Near election time there seems to be a lot of brouhaha about voter fraud. What percent of the accusations actually get to court or end in convictions?
Asked by dis_orient_ed - Fri Oct 10 16:07:58 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year. More than 30 were linked to small vote-buying schemes in which candidates generally in sheriff s or judge s races paid voters for their support. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.

Asked by 2nd Commander - Tue Oct 23 20:17:36 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Targets are generally frequent customers, women, and public naive in auto repair and cost. Fraudulent practice is usually severed belts, punctured A/C systems, damaged suspension components, damaged lines holding fluids, punctured tires etc. Taking old parts and cleaning them up to look new and then selling them as new parts. Safer for a customer, take a vehicle to a person you can trust or take an expert with you.

A. At a MINIMUM, these folks should lose their jobs and their federal pensions. I think they should also be prosecuted for credit card fraud and subject to any and all applicable criminal penalties. To NOT do so simply condones the action and allows it to continue. AS a former federal employee and a taxpayer i am outraged at this behavior.

Q. I have fraud charges on my chase cards, and i believe my sister is the reason behind them. Shes only 16, so i dont wanna press charges, and im HOPING that the credit card company wont really investigat it like that. But how long will it take to investigate it, and do you really think they will pull the atm picture to see if its her. It was only 600$$ thanks alot
Asked by MOMMYS-TWINS-ARE-IN-HEAVEN - Thu Oct 11 11:33:38 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It does not matter if it was $6 or as you say "only $600", fraud is fraud. If you report it to Chase, companies are pretty quick about investigating it. If it was an ATM, it is a matter of a phone call to the bank where the ATM is located. Because everything is digital and stored on computers, they will probably have the picture in about a day. If they do find out it was your sister you have two choices. To tell them that your sister did not have authorization. At that time they will probably not make you pay for the charges, but they will prosecute your sister. If you do not want to do that then you will have to pay for the charges.

How does credit card fraud happen while I still have my card?
Q. I'm a victim of credit card fraud. How can they do it while I still have my card? What I did wrong? What else I should worry about? Should I worry about identity theft now? Thanks
Asked by Sad Mommy - Wed Sep 2 22:06:33 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. All anyone needs to make fraudulent charges on your credit card is the credit card number and the expiration date. In most cases, merchants won't even ask for the 3-digit verification number on the back of the card. This happened to me several years ago. I used my card at a pizza place, then discovered that fraudulent charges had been made while the card was still in my possession. You don't need to worry about identity theft. Nobody can open a credit account in your name without your social security number. But you do need to contact the credit card company immediately to dispute the charges if you haven't done so. They will have to cancel that credit card and issue you a new number.
