Hi.

Hi folks. Just an old user for about seven years. I work mainly on anti fraud forums and actively fight the scammers and aid their victims as much as I can.

If anyone has any problem with scammers please feel free to contact me and I will help if I can.

 

Welcome to the forums, what's your fraud site?

Enjoy Admin Talk

 

Thank you for the welcome.

http://antifraudintl.org/ is the main one that I work on.

We operate in 14 different languages so we can assist victims from other countries easier.
If one clicks on the flag on the left side of the front page, it will take them to the language rooms relating to that flag.

 

Interesting, what made you get into that niche?

 

Insanity!!

No seriously, I received an email informing me I had inherited a few million dollars and as I do not have any rich relatives I Googled it and found it was a scam.

After being on an anti scam forum for awhile, it was noticed that the scammers would be branching out into other countries (outside the USA and Europe) etc. That were largely unaware of the methods of scammers, so we decided to make an international forum to enable us to help the victims.

And the site grew from there, with the help and assistance of some wonderful members, who all volunteer their services and time for free to assist others.

 

Ah I see, I've only looked up this type of forum once before. I had a moderator go "bad" on me and I had to ban him, shortly after he started posting lies on scamming sites saying I had done work for him and scammed him. How to you check to see if the fraud claims are true or do you not worry about false claims?

 

After dealing with hundreds of thousands of scam emails we tend to detect them as scams quite easily.

We do however spend a lot of time checking to make sure they are really scammers before we mention them.

We have many ways of doing this, that obviously we do not post about, as we do not wish to educate the scammers in any way.

If we expose a scammer, then we have checked thoroughly and made sure of the facts before we mention him or her.

Purely as an example, if an email comes from a well known scamming area and promises many millions of dollars from a poor country, complete with forged documents, then it would be looked at very carefully!

We recently had a scammer ask for delivery of a lot of juice concentrate, in a quantity that was greater than the entire production of the USA and he wanted this amount monthly.
Needless to say he was checked carefully and the potential victim advised.

 

I think you might need to fix the sidebar link on your home page, the one leading to 'indexforum.php'. Because when I clicked on it, I got these errors:

I don't get any errors when checking the forum listing through the header navigation link, but I think you should probably look into changing that one soon regardless, it looks a bit bad when you click a link and find just a bunch of PHP errors.

 

Welcome to the community @Big al we're glad to have you here.

 

CM30 Thank you for letting me know I will see what I can do to correct it. I am not a techy but we will see if we can fix it.

CPVR Thank you for the welcome it is appreciated.

 

Those PHP error messages are the result of using a "mod" designed for VB 3.x on VB 4.x. You will need to track down the mod and disable or upgrade it.

 

Thank you Joe I have passed this along to our tech guys.
