Mr. Schiff: Be careful of Internet Auctions. FBI Agent Ken
McGuire has worked these cyber crimes...
Mr. McGuire: "Typically the stuff we've seen
over the last four or five years have been non-delivery
of merchandise or nonpayment for goods."
Mr. Schiff: McGuire says bad goods were sent to victims...
Mr. McGuire: "We're also seeing delivery of
completely substandard or poor quality merchandise in many
cases."
Mr. Schiff: McGuire says work-at-home schemes catch unsuspecting
victims...
Mr. McGuire: "They provide their bank account
information or they are provided with counterfeit checks
which they then wire-transfer the proceeds to a European
country and then find out the checks are counterfeit and
end up losing twice the amount of the check from their own
bank accounts."
Mr. Schiff: Been a victim? Contact the FBI's Internet Crime
Complaint Center, IC3, at fbi.gov. I'm Neal Schiff of
the Bureau and that's what's happening at the "FBI, This
Week."
