ASCI just got in to act & doing great job so far. Need to work in grass root level to control misleading ads by regional clients like retailers in South. Recently many educational institutions are misleading the aspiring students with 100% placement guarantee or with false placement records. This also need to be curbed on war footing......

Many thanks! Please help bring such misleading ads to our notice by lodging online complain

Excellent Work ASCI !
With you and will spread the good word and awareness among the people !
Keep it up !

ASCI is doing great job to prevent misleading ads and as well it's opportunity for me to get to learn new things as I am part of the organisation!
एक के साथ एक फ्री जेसे ऑफर बन्द होना चाहिए ! सीधे सीधे खुलेआम पब्लिक को मुर्ख बनाने के उपाय पर रोक जरूरी है , इसके गहरे मायने जुड़े हैं ।
इस तरह के प्रलोभन के पीछे उपभोक्ता का भला कम और शोषण ज्यादा छुपा होता है । फ्री शब्द के आकर्षण से ग्राहक को घेरने के पीछे चालाकी और धूर्तता ढंकी होती है । जिसे चेरिटी की तरह प्रस्तुत करना एक तरह से लालच देकर बाजार के नियमों का उल्लंघन एवम् उपभोक्ता के भोलेपन का लाभ उठाना ही है । ऐसे ऑफर में घटिया और पिछड़ चुके आइटम की सप्लाई को मार्केट में सरलता से खपाने की मंशा ज्यादा लगती है , फिर इसे क्यों स्वीकार्य बनाया जाए ?? फ्री शब्द के मायाजाल कि जगह आप दाम कम कर दीजिए ! इससे जनता को लाभ भी मिलेगा और महंगाई भी कंट्रोल होगी..!!


MARG GRK Reddy SEZ Chennai India Real estate scam
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Police are supposed to help those who are affected by MARG GRK Reddy. Despite giving a complaint on 10th Feburary 2015 to J4 Kotturpuram police station & 3rd June 2015 to Thoripakkam police station. In July 2015 after meeting commissioner Mr. George, compliant no. 1404/CCB. no action was taken by the police. Myself along with 68 other customers on behalf of around 5000 plus customers who are cheated by Marg SEZ ~ New Chennai Township Pvt. Ltd, were made to run behind commissioner office & CM Cell every week to find out why no action was taken against this builder Marg GRK Reddy, Govt. Retried servants & Gundas, who has run a huge real estate scam similar to Vijay Mallya. Despite this builder cheating around 8000 to 10000 Crores, No FIR against MARG ~ New Chennai Township Pvt. Ltd, scam mafia builder till date, despite providing all the evidences to the police even before they not file FIR, no update has been provided as to why the Chennai Commissioner of police & Kotturpuram Police Station didn't file FIR against the fraudulent builder GRK Reddy, Retired govt. Servants & Gundas team.
The news about frauds committed by builder MARG Proberties, Savithanjali was also telecast in NDTV PRIME today (14 th Sep 2016) at 7pm and re-telecast 11 pm and tomorrow (15 th Sep 2016) will he re-telecast at 8am.
It's more than a year since the police have taken an action against this builder who has cheated 5000 customers. What trust will common man get if criminals are protected by the law enforcement agencies???
Banks like Public sector and private sector all had joined hands with builder in cheating the common man.
Despite giving a separate complaint against Marg on 14th July 2015 & against God knows why the honorable police failed to take action on all the parties involved in this scam.
Because I'm a law abiding citizen I approached honorable Inspector of Kotturpuram police, Inspector of Thoraibakkam Police & commissioner of police, it's sad that I'm now driven to a state of shock for the great lapse shown by TN police.
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED AND IN THIS CASE IT'S PROVED THAT COMMON MAN CAN NEVER GET JUSTICE IN INDIA.
I hope, someone who feels the pain of a common man like me help in saving me and my family.
I am also given my bank account details to GRK Reddy for transferring my money on November 2015.
MARG GRK Reddy Sufferer
M Anto Geeth Rajesh


I am a very aware conscious and an alert TV advertisement watcher.
I had raised complaints about Hema Malini's Kent RO advertisement , some deodrant advertisement , and a few whitening creams advertisements and do acknowledge that everytime ASCI has looked into the matter immediately. Thanks for your alertness.
Also I appreciate the latest advertisements about creating awareness of child issues,women issues,female feoticides etc.
I strongly feel celebrities should be roped in and value based advertisements must be made as our values have dipped on a all time low.
The whitening cream and deodorant advertisements should be banned where a woman becomes beautiful by using that cream or gets a job or man uses deodrant and women flock to him, this is a bad image of our society.

The biggest problem is advertiser withdraw add but what about the wrongly specified material still being sold . if go to court it will take years police in favour of wealthy and influencers TN only and only honest department for make in India ASCI.

v Wrongly specified chimneys sale by hindware no certification selling material online selling by wrong advertisements and website
No automatic alt text available.

It's NGO working honestly under no influence of money and political pressure as it is seen in govt department. If Consumer affairs take quick action it will be very helpful in stopping substandard Chinese import. But it's surprising to see government department not cooperating our respectable Prime minister words to work honestly. What I feel by my experience ASCI powers should be increased and consumer affairs pending complaint will finish and even work load on Consumer Court will reduce.

Things you must know about digital payments

Better than cash
Things you must know about digital payments
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the busiest life.
– Victor Hugo
Post demonetisation, all of you have faced cash crunch and have used your bank's payment websites for transactions or made transactions through credit/debit cards as well as through wallets or mobile apps. To promote such transactions and bring about a cashless economy, the government, in December last year, announced several incentives for transacting without cash.
With a view to help the common consumer understand the meaning of digital transactions, team Consumer Voice has put together their actual meaning, key features and benefits.
Defining Digital Payments
We all know that any monetary payment can be completed only via payment instruments. Cash, cheques and demand drafts are some known instruments. Digital payment is a generic term for a payment that is completed via payment instruments using the digital technology. While there is no standard definition of a digital payment, there are two key elements that make digital payments completely different from traditional modes of payment: a) the nature of the payment instrument and b) the payer-payee interface – both payer and payee use an electronic medium for a successful digital transaction. One common thing among digital and cashless payment alternatives is that they all, except for the USSD-based method, require internet connectivity.
From commonly used cards to the newly launched Unified Payment Interface (UPI) and mobile wallets, digital payments are of many types. While some modes are a bit elaborate and may take time to get used to, some are easy and just need basic understanding of Smartphone interfaces.
Unified Payment Interface (UPI) apps
The unified payment interface, or UPI, is used through the mobile app. You can transfer funds between two accounts by registering for mobile banking. Currently, this service is only available for Android phone users. Some of the commonly downloaded UPI apps are BHIM, SBI UPI app, HDFC UPI app, iMobile and PhonePe app. It is not mandatory to use the UPI app promoted by your bank to enjoy UPI service. You can download and use any UPI app.
Aadhaar-Enabled Payment Service (AEPS)
For AEPS, one needs only his or her Aadhaar number to pay to any merchant. AEPS allows bank-to-bank transactions – the amount you need to pay gets deducted from your account and is credited to the payee's account directly.
AEPS, however, can only be used via point-of-sale (PoS) machines and unlike cards and USSD, AEPS does not have any charges on transactions. You can withdraw or deposit cash and send money to another Aadhar-linked account without having to sign any paper. You do not even need your or payee's bank account details or any password. All you need to do is use your fingerprint as a password on the PoS – this, so far, is regarded as the most secure digital payment mode.
USSD (*99#)
USSD banking, or *99# banking, is a mobile banking-based digital payment mode. You do not need to have a smartphone or an internet connection as it can be used on any feature phone. USSD banking is as easy as sending a text message. You can use this service for many financial and non-financial operations such as checking balance, and sending money.
The *99# code works as a bridge between your telecom operator's server and your bank's server. It uses your registered mobile number to connect with your bank account. Hence, dial *99# with your registered number only. It has a transaction limit of Rs 5,000 per day. RBI has set a maximum charge of Rs 2.50 per operation.
Credit/Debit/Prepaid Cards
Many of you use credit or debit cards for transferring funds and making digital payments, and could already be aware of their uses. Prepaid cards are another type of cards which you use to pay digitally. You have to recharge these cards before using—just like prepaid SIM cards.
Cards are one of the best modes when you pay at portals or e-commerce sites. But if we talk about paying to merchants, it is not the most suitable as you have to pay anything between 0.75 per cent and 2.0 per cent on each transaction. Also, you cannot use cards to pay if the merchant does not have a PoS (swipe) machine.
E-Wallets/Mobile Wallets
Mobile wallets, which have gained popularity after demonetisation, are the digital version of your physical wallet with more functionality. You have to first transfer money to a mobile wallet via various modes like UPI, card and NEFT, and then use it at places where it is accepted or to recharge your phone, pay utility bills at various places, send money to your friends, and so on. If you have a smartphone and a stable internet connection, you can use e-wallets to make payments. These e-wallets also give additional cashback offers. Some of the most used e-wallets are Paytm, Freecharge, State Bank Buddy, and ICICI Pockets.
Wallets are convenient as long as the transactions are wallet to wallet. However, if you wish to transfer the money to a bank account, you have to pay the wallet service provider. Also, these apps do not ask for any PIN or password when you perform a transaction, hence there is always a risk of losing money in the wallet when you lose your phone.

false meter reading

false meter reading


To
Executive Engineer
EDD II Agra
Dakshinanchal Vidhyut Vitaran Nigam Limited
Kamla Nagar Agra (U.P)


Sir,
With regards I would like to state that following lines for your kind consideration.

1. I, Ummed Singh S/o Durbeen Singh R/o Nagla Rambux P.O. Etmadpur, Dist-Agra have my Electric connection No - AR/6 5422-776424

2. The meter reader of Kuberpur feeder Mr Gaur is harrasing me since last three month. He records the false reading and send them for Billing his three month consecutive reading are as follows:-

duration 30/9/12 to 31/10/12 last meter reading -1816 and present meter reading - 2073
duration 31/10/12 to 30/11/12 last last meter reading -2073 and present meter reading -2387
duration 30/11/12 to 31/12/12 last meter reading 2387 and present meter reading - NR.

3. On 2/2/13 I met to Mr Gaur at Kuberpur feeder and enquire about sudden increase in my electric bill.

4. He told me write a application to Executive Engr EDD-II Agra to take my meter reading again I wrote that application on 2/2/13.Later on I came to know that Mr Gaur want to neutralise the matter only showing that it is by mistake only, but is the matter of unlawful activity.
When I along with Mr Gaur see the reading on 2/2/13 the Meter reading was 2204. That means the reading 2387 was intensively recorded on 30/11/12. In real the reading is still 2204 on 2/2/13 ( two month later).

5. It is clear the case of harassing a consumer with some intention of want of bribe from consumer so he recorded apprrox 500 unit more than the actul reading. In above case look into the matter and give justice to victim after brief departmental inquiry.

So this kind of matter I face mentality disturb. How to paid bribe poor consumer

elctricity bill


The electricity meter at my shop got malfunctioned because of heavy voltage due to transformer fault in my village. After that we got it replaced from the department and the concerned executive have also written the same thing on the slip handed over to me. But now they have charged the new meter fee along with the electricity bill. For the clearance of the same issue, I have visited the Electricity office in Agra where I was asked for a bribe of Rs.3000 to rectify the complaint.

Further, there are problems of the electricity bill. The agency authorized to take the meter reading does not come at proper time and then the electricity bill displays reading as 'NR' and the exorbitantly high bills are raised by the department.

I request you to kindly rectify my complains and take further necessary action to prevent such actions.

To, CHIEF EXECUTIVE ENGINEER,
DVVNL, JHANSI (UP)
I, Ramakant Gupta Son of Late Sri Narain Das, senior citizen, is paying regular payments of our DVVNL ACCOUNT ID 3868772000 ( 993/13, CIVIL LINES, JHANSI,UP) in time without any delay/ defaulter. Recently on 5th of Dec. 2016, my Electric meter(23572209, H.P.L, JCRE-95169, 10-60A) was replaced with new meter (SS/020/842,SECURE,JVCPP-17093,10-60A) & shifted from inside house to outside. The lineman asked me to provide the new cable wire for connecting the new meter with pole as per the instruction of superior, I had provided the same & every thing was in line without any problem.
I had gone on a tour of 17 days from 24th Jan. to 9th Feb. 2017, when I came back to my home, I was shocked, my line was disconnected & there was no current at my home. On inquiring with my neighbour, Dr S.B.Kharya (Senior Citizen, Age 82 years,993/17, civil lines, Jhansi), he informed me that again your department had done some work with the shifting of Pole Junction box on 8th Feb.2017, without any PRIOR INTIMATION. The lineman were again demanding to provide additional wire for connecting the meter with new pole Junction box ( which is shifted about 25-30 meter before the existing 40 years old Junction pole). As I was out of town, Dr S.B.Kharya requested to your Senior Executive on phone "to keep my line temporary connected till I come back", he was replied very rudely, if you donot allow linemen to work over there, your department shall make FIR against him?
Finally the linemen did not provide connection to my home & I am without any current in my home from 8Am on 9th Feb 2017,when I came back from my tour. I was not keeping well after my 17 days long tour. yesterday, I gave call to your department SDO, sitting in Civil Line office near SUKWA-DHUKWA colony, 2-3 times, but my call was not matured. I had to spent my night in Hotel, incurring financial & mental torture due to your un-systematic work.
Kindly look into matter & arrange to restore my connection urgenly.

बैंक के ग्राहकों बिल्कुल नये तरीके सेठगी

मीडिया रिपोर्ट के अनुसार चेन्नई में एचडीएफसी बैंक के सात ग्राहकों को ठगों ने 3.99 लाख रुपये का चूना लगा दिया। वो भी बिल्कुल नये तरीके से। माना जा रहा है कि ठगों ने ये चोरी दूरसंचार कंपनियों के कुछ कर्मचारियों के साथ मिलकर की है। शक है कि इस ठगी में बैंक के कर्मचारी भी शामिल हो सकते हैं। टाइम्स ऑफ इंडिया की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक चेन्नई में ही स्टेट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया (एसबीआई) के भी कुछ ग्राहकों को इसी तरह ठगा जा चुका है। आइए हम आपको बताते हैं कि ऐसे ठगों का नया तरीका क्या है और क्या है उससे बचने का उपाय।
ये ठग आम लोगों को भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक (आरबीआई) या किसी अन्य बैंक का कर्मचारी बनकर फोन करते हैं। फोनकॉल को वास्तविक जताने के लिए बातचीत से पहले ऑटोमेटे संदेश सुनायी देता है, मसलन “स्टेट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया अपने ग्राहकों से उनके पासवर्ड, एटीएम पिन या सीवीवी नंबर देने के लिए नहीं कहता है। ऐसी जानकारी हमारे कॉलसेंटर के प्रतिनिधि से साझा मत करें।”
ऐसी फोनकॉल को असली समझ लेने वालों को ठग *121# पर एसएमएस करके केवाईसी (नो योर कस्टमर) और आधार कार्ड की जानकारी अपग्रेड कराने के लिए कहता है। जब आप *121# पर एसएमएस भेज देते हैं तो ठग एक ब्लैंक सिम से नंबर पोर्ट करा लेता है। नए पोर्ट किए गए नंबर से ठक आपके खाते से पैसा ट्रांसफर करता है। चूंकि पैसा ट्रांसफर करने की पुष्टि के लिए आपके मोबाइल नंबर पर ओटीपी पासवर्ड आता है तो ठग आपके नंबर वाले मोबाइल पर इस ओटीपी को मंगाकर पैसा अपने मनचाहे खाते में ट्रांसफर कर लेता है। ऐसी ठगी का पता चलने के बाद एचडीएफसी बैंक पुलिस में एफआईआर दर्ज करायी है।
मामले में बैंककर्मियों की मिलीभगत की भी आशंका है। पुलिस ने टीओआई को बताया कि ऐसे मामलों में ठगी के लिए बैंक खाता संख्या या उसकी नेटबैंकिंग आईडी चाहिए होगी तो ठग को ये जानकारियां कैसे मिल रही हैं? तो ऐसे ठगों से बचने के लिए आप बैंक या ऐसी किसी भी संस्थान से फोनकॉल आने पर *121# या किसी भी ऐसे नंबर पर मैसेज न करें। अगर आप आप अपना फोन नंबर बदल रहे हैं तो उसकी जानकारी अपने बैंकी की शाखा में जाकर अपडेट कराएं। ये बात हमेशा याद रखें कि कोई भी बैंक फोन या एसएमएस से आपको न ही कोई जानकारी मांगता है और न ही किसी नंबर पर एसएमएस करने के लिए कहता है।

बालोतरा सीवरेज लाइन परियोजना घोटाला

बालोतरा सीवरेज लाइन परियोजना में हुए 100 करोड़ से ज्यादा के घोटाले के संबंध में एंटी करप्शन ब्यूरो राजस्थान द्वारा मुझ परिवादी सुमेर लाल शर्मा की FIR दर्ज नही करने के मामले पर माननीय राजस्थान उच्च न्यायालय की जयपुर खण्डपीठ ने मेरी याचिका पर आदेश जारी करते हुए 
1. आलोक त्रिपाठी, पुलिस महानिदेशक, भ्रष्टाचार निरोधक ब्यूरो, जयपुर,
2. मनोज भट्ट, पुलिस महानिदेशक, राजस्थान पुलिस PHQ जयपुर सहित 
3. राजस्थान सरकार को 4 सप्ताह का नोटिस देकर तलब किया !
सुनने में आया है कि नगर परिषद बालोतरा के अफसर बड़े गर्व के साथ दम भर रहे है कि भ्रष्टाचार निरोधक ब्यूरो राजस्थान के कई उच्च अधिकारियों के साथ उनकी अच्छी सेटिंग है तथा IPS अजयपाल लाम्बा (SP, ACB jdh.) जैसे अफ़सरों के साथ उनकी बहुत ही निकटतम घनिष्टता है, इस लिए कोई उनका कुछ नहीं कर सकता ! चूँकि इस बात से काफ़ी हद तक मैं भी सहमत हूँ कि भ्रष्टाचारियों का तगड़ा गठजोड़ है वरना इतना बड़ा घोटाला संभव नही है! इस घोटाले में कई ब्यूरोक्रेट्स, जनप्रतिनिधियों व अन्यों ने भी हाथ धोयें है!
बालोतरा केे लोगों द्वारा चुने हुए सभी राजनैतिक दलों के जनप्रतिनिधियों ने आपस मे और लोकसेवकों ने पर्दे के पीछे आपस मे मिल कर बालोतरा का भट्टा बिठा दिया है,
विकास के नाम पर सरे आम विनाश किया जा रहा है, सीवरेज परियोजना के नाम पर पूरे बालोतरा को खोद कर खोखला कर दिया है तथा तबाही का तांडव जारी है!
इस मामले पर किसी भी राजनैतिक दल का कोई भी लीडर आवाज तक नहीं उठाता है तब मुझ जैसे कई लोगों को इनकी चुप्पी पर सन्देह होता है कि आखिर इनकी चुप्पी का राज क्या है ?
इनके मुँह से आवाज़ क्यो नहीं निकलती है ?
तो एक ही जवाब मिलता है कि हो ना हो इनका मुँह भरा हुआ है तभी बंद है !
अब दोषियों का नंगा होना तय हो गया है क्योंकि रायता फैलाने के मामले में हमें भी मास्टरी हासिल है अर्थात जीत हमारी तय है!
आप लोग सेटिंगें करो और हम आपकी सेटिंगें बिखेरते है,
फिर देखते है आगे कोन जाता है, फाड़ने वाला या सीलने वाला ?

Fake friends, fake news, phony weight-loss promises

Fake friends, fake news, phony weight-loss promises

An email from a friend urges you to try new weight-loss pills. There’s a link to an article about a celebrity’s amazing results with the pills, and the article’s author says he even tried this miracle product himself.
With all these trusted sources, why wouldn’t you give it a try?
Because it’s all a sham, that’s why. The email is not from a friend, but from a spammer who hacked into someone’s email account. The link they sent leads to a fake news site with made up success stories. Neither celebrities nor reporters ever really endorsed the pills. And the pill, itself? Questionable, at best.
The FTC charged four defendants who used these tactics with deceptively marketing their weight-loss products. According to the FTC, they sent millions of people illegal spam emails that were made to look like they came from someone familiar. Their goal? To generate sales. The FTC says the emails linked to fake news sites with fictitious articles and phony endorsements – even, supposedly, from Oprah. What’s more, says the FTC, there’s no solid science backing the defendants’ claims about the pills.
There are a few lessons to draw from this story:
  • Don’t click emailed links or open attachments, even if you think you know the sender. Emails that seem to be from a friend might not be.
  • Intrigued by weight-loss claims? Anyone saying they lost more than a pound a week without diet and exercise is probably lying.
  • Learn how to spot a fake news site, which often include fake celebrity endorsements. These actually are elaborate ads created by marketers.
  • File a complaint with the FTC if you ever spot a scam, or get sold on phony product promises.

Comments

Thank you for the information. I noticed there are a lot of adds sponsored by a doctor or actress in reference to face creams. Thank you,
Be careful. I bought some facial products from a Doctor online. After it came it was pitiful. I had the bank change my debit card right away. I am sure they got peoples credit cards and just kept sending them stuff each month! Don't give them you credit card or debit card!
Thank you for keeping up with the latest scams and passing them on
Thank you so much for sharing this.
thank informatiom
There are so many go to sites and I know the way to lose weight. Stop the junk food.
You might want to investigate Lesea broadcasting who using a so-called doctor who tells people to take products that they sell, under making healthy choices. And they are a religious network on tv.
I think this is a great article, how come you aren't doing more than writing about it, why aren't you going after some of these face cream scams on the internet. They are everywhere, they aren't hidden, did you report them? or are you just a journalist?
The government does not have the manpower or the budget to go after every single case, so I can see why smaller cases are often neglected for a long time.
Dr Oz's everywhere nowadays.
Thanks and will observe caution
There was an ad about how Adele lost a lot of weight taking certain pills. It was even "endorsed" by Dr. Oz and was supposed to be all natural. And it was FREE, until you had to give a credit card number for shipping....right.....Delete.....
yeah just got one of these supposedly from my cousin, knew it wasn't her as it was a u.k. email plus she always says "blessings" at the end of hers and it didn't. But it was from her email list with lots of other people copied.
I have need to confirmation receiving my all true information into my account now?
Ty! For this alert. I actually have one in my texting messages about this. I seen it but, I blocked out those guys. I contacted my cellular company asking how they got on my phone? But nevertheless, I simply blocked them out.beware on texting areas as well. Thanks, for the heads up.FTC.
Hey I did reply its. saying my captcha code was attacked? I resent it ok ty for all your help.
I have been tricked into this scam even though the people who supposedly them to me would never say to me that I need to lose weight, even if it is true.
I've been noticing this kind of attack for sometime now. Many of the messages in my Spam folder look like this. I have noticed however the email address of the sender is never anyone that I know. Usually the message format is similar to others that go back to the same or very similar domain. Always check the domain (i.e. "friend@spamsite.com", where "spamsite.com" is the domain.)
Keep up the good work in catching these Bad people!!
I wish I heard about these before i chose cambodia. I have not lost any weight on this or garcinia, which was the one by Dr. Oz.
Please call your credit company and have them fight the charge and block these shameful weight loss scammers- only way to stop recurring charges.
I just filed complaint with FTC against Garcinia company out of NV concerning their cancelation policies. Something for $4.95 turns out to be 10 times that.
I see these things on TV and like the pillow one where they drop weights into one with feathers and the other eggs. I'm almost certain that the one with the eggs has a feature that this couldn't possibly happen. I see ads for so many creams. They seen to be targeting women. I know once in a while we might buy something that we shouldn't and then we learn from it. I don't believe any of these things and I wouldn't buy any thing I see off of a commercial like these. I always look at their site for comments. Good or bad before I would even buy it in a store. Thanks as always for keeping us informed.
Thanks so much for all your valuable information! And that other readers comment about face creams, weight loss gels, is spot-on.
These scams are all over the place. The network marketing companies are the worst. Wish the FTC would stick it to these companies and get them closed down permanently!!!
Thanks for the information. I forwarded to my daughters and many friends.
I receive a few of those kinds of emails on a daily basis, since I do not trust people anymore, I select all and delete all. End of story. I feel that these days everyone in the Internet world is hiding something, if you are not you are naive, if you believe everything you read you are quite gullible. All my friends were left back in kindergarten. Welcome to the real, cold world. I love the FTC., thanks guys! Good job!
Someone used my email name to send out these weight loss ads to people in my contact list. When they asked if I thought they were fat because I sent this info, I was shocked since it was not from me. Scammers are everywhere,nothing is secure anymore.
IRS at 10pm saying I owed $20K or they would
take my home. MY lawyer got the same call
Your warning is important. I have a suggestion. In the title of your article you write: "fake news". My concern is that of many others I know (family, friends, neighbors, social media connections) DO NOT KNOW of the grave injustices going on in our country. President Obama (we voted for him) promised "hope & change" yet since being in office he has not kept all his promises. While the President has been stonewalled by many opponents by those in the House & Congress, Pres. Obama has championed A BIG LIE - that whistle blowers are silenced, berated or must escape persecution & labelled "traitors" because they outed the World Bank for fraud & others who told the truth about our US citizens being spied upon (to name a few). Instead of being rewarded as in the past, whistle blowers are betrayed to the majority who listen to corporate-owned TV & radio stations. Unfortunately, most people are not able to get the truth or investigate what is REALLY HAPPENING. Why? Because most people in the US are struggling to make it with what little they are paid. Most are hurting due to the wage gaps, inequalities between men & women, time constraints in caring for their basic needs for self & family(s). So, perhaps you might be more clear on "fake news" because what we see is that there are very few "real" journalists & mostly a bunch of talking head spewing their opinions rather than FACTS to our country folk. THIS IS A TRAGEDY!
I was just contacted yesterday by a woman who said she was from Google suppport and it was IMPERATIVE that she get access to my computer because Nigerians were trying to hack my computer. Does that make sense? If they can t get in and if she can t get in does she think I am stupid? I checked it out and it is a SCAM. The phone numbers are from New York but that is not where they are.Beware of 631-223-7951 and do not call her supervisor as she suggests.
Plexus is a scam. Its a weightloss supplement that contains no active ingredients but uses megadoses of chromium. It causes profuse malodorous diarrhea and elevated LFT's. The people who push this stuff are only looking to recruit you into selling too making this a Pyramid-with-a-product scheme. They even claim that Doctors approve and when followed up, the doctors know nothing about it. PLEASE SHUT THIS COMPANY DOWN before someone DIES. Prosecute every high level "ambassador" because they KNOW its a pyramid scheme and they are hurting people to make money. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!
You can report a business to the FTC at FTC.gov/complaint. The information you give will go into a database that law enforcement uses for investigations.
Information you post here on the blog does not go into the law enforcement database.
We got a call one day from the IRS demanding we send them 5k. What they didn't realize is that we just finished a BBQ and had way too many beers. We just passed the phone around and laughed at them. I think we demanded they send us 10k instead. Good times. If you know the scams you can have some cheap fun.
i gave my personal info to someone claiming they worked for NIH and i had been selected for a 14,000 dollar grant....they gave me the website www.grant.nih.gov......i thought it was true....they now have my full name, birth date, full address, social security number and drivers license number....no bank information was given....what do I do ??

I feel totally naive....them giving me the website threw me....Please give me advice and save me from my own stupidity.....i am a single mom living with my minor child.....now i am literally scared and afraid.....all advice is welcome....thank u!!!!!
You can get information about what to do when your personal information has been lost or exposed at IdentityTheft.gov.
Because you gave your information, you might get more calls offering 'government grants' or other scams. This FTC article about government grant scams has tips.
I did the same Went Put. Three hundred on the. Green dot card. Then. The. Last. In. Washington d c. She. Took the funds. Off the card What a fool I am
I got a letter that says its from the Federal Trade Commission with $4.95 check made to me from FTC v Kevin Trudeau Qualified Settlement Fund. It says it is not the full refund and if I cash it I may get more later. The letter is signed by James Kohm Associate Director, US FTC, Bureau of Consumer Protection. I wonder if this is a scam as I dont think I ever bought THE WEIGHT LOSS CURE book.
Your check from the FTC is legitimate. It is a result of a federal government lawsuit against Kevin Trudeau for false advertising. This FTC blog post has more about refunds for Kevin Trudeau's victims.
I had an email from (my son's first name only), but it didn't look like something he would send. I hovered my cursor over the email address and it was a very different address than my son's. Easy way to find out if it's really your friend that's sending the email.
an ad came through on Facebook for Skin Noir/ Eye Noir and offered "free trial"- they ended up charging me $180. No address to return products to. SCAM
Reminds me of the old adage, "if it seems too good to be true, it is!"
Products endorsed by celebrities are a red flag for me and turn me off from their product. I don't understand celebrity endorsement appeal to others. Celebrities are only into the product endorsement business for easy money from sucker consumers. I think 99% of weight loss plans/products are scams designed to prey on the desperation of a mostly overweight country, simply because they're easy pickins. Desperation outweighs common sense; makes for a mine field of unscrupulous businesses in the weight loss business.
Illumagen face cream..total scam. Products don't work, trial cost $4.95 for "shipping" and if you don't cancel your "free trial" within 13 days they'll charge your CC $89.97 for one product and $85.97 for the other! Products turned my face bright red..totally crap.
I get emails that claim they're from friends and to click a link. I did click a link once and some doctor was talking about belly fat! I quickly realized it was not from a friend and deleted the message. But I still get these emails! Should I forward these emails to FTC? And then delete them?
It's ok to just delete them. Let your friend know that someone  hacked into her address book, and is sending out emails using her email address
