Intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.
Whether you can sue your local township police department for ignoring you about people committing fraud on the internet might depend whether or not you have any standing as an injured party. For example, we had fraudulent mail orders placed on a credit card. We found out where the orders were going and called the police with jurisdiction in the area. They said they would not do anything since our credit card was not holding us responsible for the charges - we were not harmed since it didn't cost us any money.
You might try going to a higher authority, like your State Attorney, to see what could be done.
Is Bluemart oil and gas company a fraud or a real one?
It's a fraud, retard!
Think about it. If you Google their name, nothing comes up and if you look at the email address for contact, it's a gmail account. No company in the world, especially in the oil industry uses gmail for coorespondance. If they can afford top notch engineers, then they can afford a mail server.

In my point of view its fraud.However, there is a real Diversity Visa Lottery Program, and there are countless websites offering to handle the entering process for you for a fee. These aren't necessarily scams per se, meaning they will do what they say - which is to apply for you to be in the DV lottery. The catch here is that entering the DV lottery is absolutely free if you do it yourself, while these companies charge hundreds of dollars simply to fill out a piece of paper for you and mail it to the USCIS. Many charge you, and you'll never hear from them again.
Did you enter the DV lottery program through USAFIS? If you don't remember paying them to enter you into the DV lottery program, you can be 100% certain that it is a scam. If you entered the DV lottery program, the USCIS will notify you by mail, and you don't need to worry about paying USAFIS anything anyway.

I feel it is not about reiki only but understanding our energy field and let the person decide which technique for instance reiki, pranik healing, breathing exercises etc suit him.
It is a credible, well researched and well referenced website that provides full documentation.

It's not strictly a scam but you will not be able to delete your account and your details will be sold to third parties, including pornography websites, by pocodot without your consent.
First off, I can not say that it is a scam exactly because I did not process any transactions with the company but I do have some things which should shed some light on this website.
1) The website layout is poorly made, it is basic and looks like it was done by a middle school student.
2) The price to be a lifetime member is significantly high, 299 USD? That is just crazy, you are better off buying medical books and browsing the internet.
3) In the "About Us" section it states this website was started in 2003, but the whois report states otherwise.

I would not call it a fraud, however the institution does not have a regional accreditation, which is the most important accreditation. In addition, the school does not appear to be recognized by the College Board. As such, the coursework completed, and the degrees offered, may not be recognized by other accredited colleges and universities, as well as many employers. Personally, there are too many highly recognized regionally accredited schools out there to be involved with this institution. When choosing a college or university, I would strongly recommend you choose from the institutions that have a regional accreditation.

What type of regulation or law for fraud cases in insurance industries?
Depends on country to country. In India we have IRDA to look upon the interest of customers. Different Acts which are made earlier like Insurance Act 1938, and IRDA revised details are the basis of justification of certain situation being fraudelent or not. To check upon the fraud in health insurance market a recent plan has been launched by all insurance companies to make a common database of the client who have claims so that they should be charged with correct premium because if client doesn't discloses previous claim it is also considered as breach of basic principle of insurance, hence will be called as fraud.
