Internet
Fraud and Abuse

So easy to do so many things.

The Internet gives more and more people access to more and more information than ever before.

In order to be get access, consumers have to give up something and that something is personal or financial information--Names, addresses, SSN, Banking information, Cash or The Credit Card.

Make sure you check the background of any website or company before you do business. Once you make the transaction, that could be the end.

There are a few that will take the advantage.

Have information about a program or business opportunity you know to be misrepresenting itself or making promises that are not being kept.

Report Them! Expose the truth.

• Here is my story:

Frank Garon, Owner/Operator, The super prosperous, "Internet Guru".

In my case I paid Frank Garon $500 for my stupidity and good lesson learned. After Frank Garon described to me what I needed to do, I declined.

I reported Frank Garon for not honoring his "Money Back Guarantee". See Complaint

"1 Company made every reasonable effort to resolve"--That is a lie. The result of my report was "We have exhausted all efforts". No monies were refunded for services not rendered... Art Thomas

A few verses to remind myself.

Matthew 18
18:6. But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

18:7. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

18:8. And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

18:9. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

18:10. See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
