Is there an email fraud scam involving the INGKA foundation?
From a related post
In recent weeks fraudulent* emails, in English, are spreading around the Internet supposedly mailed by the Stitching INGKA Foundation. Please take note that these emails are fake and have nothing to do with Stichting INGKA foundation or IKEA. IKEA strongly recommends that respondents do not answer the emails as they are requesting money.
How long on record does fraud and deception last.?
Fraud and deception can remain on record indefinitely, depending on the context and jurisdiction. For instance, criminal records related to fraud may persist for many years, while financial records like credit reports typically show derogatory marks for seven to ten years. In some cases, fraudulent activities can have lasting reputational impacts, affecting personal or business relationships well beyond the formal record retention periods.
Unless you're being denied an apartment because of a legally protected status (i.e., gender, race, religion), it's perfectly legal for a landlord to deny your application. If he's denying it because of the fraud alert, he may be a little uneccessarily jumpy regarding your credit issues, whether they're your fault or not. Make sure there's no other reason he's rejecting the application.

Tyrone Clean Credit Solutions are they fraud?
yes Tyrone's clean credit is a fraud he has taken more than 4,000 dolars from me to clean my credit and he wont even return my phone calls about ow the process is going or anything. Now i hear he is going to move.
Answer We are not a fraud!! I am Tyrone from Tyrone's Clean Credit Solutions. If this client gave my company $4000.00 and all they are saying is we don't return phones and that they heard we may move. How does that make my company fraud? I will be the first to say, it is hard for me to return every phone call. We have a staff at our office that is capable to anwser any question and access files to give updates. Clients call and ask to speak to myself directly. I cannot answer or take every telephone call and sometimes the client gets mad and hang up. That is not fair. So why should my company get bad words if they can't talk to myself? Yes if you heard we may move, that is true. We have been having trouble with our phonelines due to the building. Plus we just got informed that the building where our office is, now in forclosure. As for the $4000.00 client. All you need to do is come to the office and we will do what needs to be done. Thank you Tyrone' Clean Credit Solutions
Just a hint if you have to ask chances are you will be caught it's not like its a real easy thing to do and get away with.
What is the present day status of the statute of frauds?
Very much alive and well, often codified as "statute of frauds and perjuries", listing the types of agreements that cannot be enforced without "written" evidence that the agreement exists, not to mention its specific terms.
New questions of fact and law arise when electronic transactions are evidenced only by computerized records, which may be susceptible to tampering by third parties, or later modifications by one or more parties. This has created a new market for extremely secure and reliable communication and data storage means (e.g., asymmetric encryption systems).
Is www.autocredithelpers.com a fraud?
It is NOT registered with the Better Business Bureau so some caution should be taken.
Also they are affiliated with a lot of scam-ish sites with links and re-directs so your best bet is just to avoid them at the moment.
Check the link below to see if they ever make it legitimately.
How can you check someone else's credit?
You don't. Credit information is highly restricted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. An individual or company accessing someone's credit without a legally authorized purpose is subject to lawsuit, fines and civil sanction. Additionally, credit reporting agencies are required by law to ensure that their clients have a permissable purpose to access credit. They are restricted by the same law not to grant client status to juat anyone.
Yes
I've been paid by them. It's kinda slow but easy. You need a code to register, 2KBD

What is Packet Replication Attack?
A Packet Replication Attack is an Internal attack on the Networking layer of the OSI model, in which the attacker belongs to the same network the victims belong to and attacks the resources inside the network. This makes it harder to find out who the attacker is.
When a Packet Replication Attack is performed the attacker replicates stale packets (packets that are delayed past a certain time) and sends them to a trigger network. This results in loss of bandwidth of the network, and this will eventually start consuming battery life of the nodes as well.
PTC stands for Pay To Click. These websites pay you around $.01 (one penny) for every 30 second advertisement that you watch. Advertisers will pay the PTC sites say $40 and that will guarantee them that around 1,000 people will view that 20-30 second advertisement (which is usually just a simple landing page on a website), and some of that money gets passed on to you as you sit in front of your computer and make money one cent at a time.
It may sound like you could not hardly make anything with PTC sites, and that would be true, if it weren't for the referral programs they all have. This is how it works: For everyone you get to sign up through your link you get anywhere from 50% to 100% of what they make as well. So if I get 10 people to watch 10 ads per day, I will make a dollar a day. And if I have 100 people clicking 10 ads per day I will be banking in $10 a day and $300 per month.
The bad news is that most PTC sites fold up in just a few short months. They are complete scams. They will try to get people to buy as many referrals as possible and then when they have raked in a lot of money they will close the website instead of paying their customers. Some PTC sites like Bux.to have waiting lists of up to a year. Which means that when you request payment, you wil be waiting a very long time. A PTC site will start going down hill when it says it has to delay payments. This means they are broke and they will try to delay paying as long as possible and try to get more people to sign up and buy referrals. I would not trust ANY PTC site that takes longer than 30 days to pay you.
How do you attack the harlech gatehouse?
they would use fire as it is made from wood so the fire would burn threw the castle doors
the company is still preying on the gullible and the eternal optimist. spread the word to friends and neighbors. see the report at:
http://www.bbb.org/dallas/business-reviews/sweepstakes/emerson-publishing-inc-in-dallas-tx-37006684
The solicitation, which requests that consumers return a "claim form" along with $5, offers to sell a report that lists national sweepstakes operated by other, third-party, companies and the prizes to be awarded in those sweepstakes. The offer is not clear and conspicuous.
As of August 29, 2008, Emerson Publishing agreed to discontinue some advertisements, but refused to fully cooperate with the BBB by modifying all of its advertisements to adhere to the BBB Code of Advertising.
Is firewalking fraud or science?
It's science and technique
The firelane should be built, tended and prepared correctly to ensure that it is safe to walk on.
unfortunately there are too many firewalk providers who focus on their own ego and money who fail to build safe
scientists have attempted to prove their theories by building their own firewalks with painful results
not all firewalks are the same, before taking part do your research, ask for videos of previous firewalks to see if it is the kind of firewalk you want to take part in Safety should always be the priority
What is the difference between internet cloud and bandwidth?

What is Pious Fraud and give examples?
Pious fraud in relation to the New Testament era and that of the early church refers to the practice of passing off a writing as that of someone else in order to give it added authority. People would choose the name of an authority such as an apostle in order to get their work have greater credibility. By definition, as the name suggests, such activity is by nature fraudulent . Since the early Christians were particularly careful about knowing who wrote what they made sure the correct titles were on all the works of the New Testament. In the second century AD a church officer was dismissed for passing off his otherwise orthodox work as that of the apostle Peter (who was of course dead by this time).
Allegations of pious fraud have frequently been made against various works of the New Testament canon. Often this is done without consideration of all the facts in an attempt to cast doubt upon the work itself. It must be remembered that works were not accepted unless the author was known for certain and this uncertainty was one of the factors which delayed the acceptance of the Book of Revelation for a time. THE BAPTISMAL FORGERY The contradictory "baptismal formulas," the simple "in the name of the Lord" of Peter in Acts, and the elaborated forgery of Matthew, "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," are sufficiently branded with falsity in the preceding paragraphs, and may be dismissed without further notice. This "Trinitarian Formula" is most palpably a late forgery, never uttered by Jesus Christ; for the Holy "Trinity" was not itself officially invented until the Council of Constantinople, in 381 A.D.
THE FORGED GOSPEL ENDINGS "The conclusion of Mark (xvi, 9-20) is admittedly not genuine.
THE "WOMAN IN ADULTERY" FORGERY The CE. has admitted that the so-called pericope adulterae, was regarded as spurious until the Council of Trent, in 1546, declared it divine truth;
THE "LORD'S PRAYER" FORGERY As may be seen by mere comparison, the "Doxology" at the end of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew (vi, 13): "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen," is an interpolation into the original text, and is omitted as spurious by the Revised Version;
THE "UNKNOWN GOD" FORGERY Paul's use of the pretended inscription on the statue on Mars' Hill, "To the Unknown God," on which is based his famous harangue to the Athenians: "Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you." This omits the truth, for the whole inscription would have been fatal to his cause.
THE FORGED EPISTLES, ETC. But the entire "Pauline group" is in the same forged class with Hebrews, says EB. after exhaustive consideration of the proofs, internal and external:
THE "EPISTLE OF PETER" FORGERIES THE "GOD MANIFEST" FORGERY THE "THREE HEAVENLY WITNESSES" FORGERY

What are the Remedies available to an Aggrieved Party in case of Fraud?
InterestsExpectation Interest - putting the aggrieved party in as good as position as if the breaching party had performed (often money damages).
Reliance Interest - losses caused by reliance on the contract (often consequential damages).
Restitution Interest - having the interest restored to the aggrieved party (often in cases of fraud)
- Mitigating Damages
In all breach of contract situations, it is the duty of the aggrieved party to take steps to mitigate, or limit the damages as much as possible. He just cannot sit back and watch the damages accumulate.
Money DamagesMoney damages for a direct loss, one that is directly caused by the breach recoverable by the aggrieved party is the usual method of calculation. If there is something wrong with the new car, the buyer should get damages to compensate him for the loss of value. This is known as compensatory damages.
Loss of value is the difference between the value of the promised performance of the breaching party and the value of the actual performance. To calculate such damages, you can compare the value of the defective item as opposed to a proper item, or the extra costs involved to repair the item.
ex) Bought a car. The car has problem in the trasmission.
1) Loss of value: The less amount of the value of the car will be the damage
2) Cost of replacement: the trasmission replacement cost will be the damage
Loss of value plus incidental damages plus consequential damages minus any savings equals the compensatory damages.
Incidental damagesCosts such as storage, transportation or any damages incidental to the breach.ex) Towing the car that didn't work because of the transmission problem.
This can be a plus or minus depending on the difference of the situations.
Consequential DamagesOn the other hand, damages that are consequential, that is, indirect damages resulting from the breach such as lost profits, are generally not recoverable, unless they were foreseeable. If the breaching knew or should have known that the new computer system had to be in working order on a given date so that the firm could handle a shipment of orders, then the damages for lost business can be recovered. Often this concept is part of Reliance Damages.ex) Couldn't go to work to handle the car situation and was not paid for the day.
Punitive DamagesOther types of damages such as punitive damages, which are damages above what was actually lost, which are used to punish the breaching party, are usually not collected. If there is some tortuous conduct associated with the breach, then some courts may allow such damages. Nominal DamagesIf no damages result from the breach, the aggrieved party can collect nominal damages, usually a small sum. RescissionWhen one party engages in fraud or misrepresentation, the other party has the option of rescinding, that is terminating, the contract due to the breach. If that innocent party has not performed yet, there will be minimal, if any damages. But if that party has already performed, he is entitled to damages arising out of that performance (reasonable costs under quasi-contract theory). The standard usually is the difference between what was promised and what was received.- Good faith is important to have rescission as a remedy
ex) If the buyer of the problematic car drove the car to work it's ok. If he drove the car to entertain, it's not ok.
If the rescinding party has property of the other, he must restore that property to the other party undamaged. If he cannot, he cannot rescind, just sue for damages.
Specific PerformanceUnder special circumstances, the courts may order a contract enforced, rather than just awarding damages to the victimized party.
Such a contract must be unique and damages must be inadequate to put the innocent party in as good a position as if it would be performed. Examples, such as contracts for antiques, rare items, land.
It is up to the court to grant this remedy and it will not if:
1. Enforcement would be a hardship on the breaching party.
2. Not unique.
3. Adequate money award can be determined.
4. Illegal or fraudulent or unconscionable.
5. Where there was an unreasonable delay in bringing suit.
Contracts for personal services are never entitled to specific performance. (13th Amendment involuntary servitude).
ex) A model made material breach of a contract with an agency. She made a contract that has "extra ordinary clause." Still, the court ruled against the employer because every model had to sign the same clause. It was stunning rulling and that laweyers efforts to put those legal clauses back fired.
InjunctionA court order compelling a party to do or not to do an action. In certain kinds of breach cases, specifically those involving personal service contracts, a court can issue an injunction preventing a star employee from joining a rival. Must be a unique and extroadinary person, such as a star athlete, entertainer. (But the employer can't make the employee come back.)
Liquidated Damages ClausesA contract may contain a provision in which the parties agree in advance to the damages to be paid in event of a breach. Such a clause is known as a liquidated damages clause.
Only if the damages set forth in the clause are reasonable (and not excessive) will such a clause be enforced. If the amount is excessive, it is deemed a penalty and rendered unenforceable.
A contracts with B to write a musical score for A's lyrics to a Broadway show for a sum of $100,000 by December 1. A clause that fixes damages of $500 for each day the score is late will probably be upheld.
If clause had damages of $10,000 a day it will be held void as a penalty. (And gets NOTHING!)
RestitutionThe act of returning the consideration to the aggrieved party. Usually, if one party totally or materially breaches the contract.
