Tweet

While browsing through the news in 'Apple'--I came across the above news item which says a man defrauded through tlelemarketing - selling of time shares --Approximately, 58 Canadians were defrauded an estimated US$21,710 in the decade long scheme. The victims came from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, B.C., Saskatcjhewan, New Brunswick and Qiebec. The accused pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud in the same. In total,he defrauded victims out more than US$780000. The Judge oirdered him to pay more than US$212000 in restitution. Thank God, I have not come across such schemes and stay guarded. In fact I resisted temptation to deposit around US $100 way back in 2000 in a similar defrauding scheme in Salem, India . ---- The person will collect this initially--offer supposed document writing (useless telephone addresses) and tempt by paying him. Thereafter he will take further huge amounts and defraud people when the cycle breaks, We must stay guarded against such schemes, I am sure mylottians will be more careful in this regard. please share your experience,
