Identity
Theft
Today, ‘Identity Theft’ is
acknowledged as a most unregulated,
least litigated, fastest growing
‘White Collar’ crime in the
world. It’s more than stolen
credit cards taken on shopping
sprees. It covers a wide range of
ingenious possibilities to defraud
people of personal assets including
government health care and other
entitlements.
“Identity Theft’ and ‘Fraud
Prevention’ is discussed in public
awareness campaigns like the 2006
Canada Fraud Awareness Month when Sheridan
Scott, Commissioner of Competition
said: “Fraud is a serious problem
that undermines consumer confidence
and drains billions from legitimate
markets around the world. It cannot
be solved by law enforcement alone
…”
In a similar venue, David
L. Emerson, Minister of Industry
said: “Scams not only cost victims
financially, but also robs them of
their dignity, their sense of self
and, in some cases, their very
identity. If Canadians do not
recognize theses scams and
fraudulent acts, they cannot report
them … and perpetrators will
prevail …”
It sounds like a serious problem. In
reality perpetrators prevail: scam
capabilities are sometimes ahead and
sometimes behind consumer safeguards
… It all depends on authorities
acknowledging the issue and taking
precautionary
measures.
The perfect sting is a well-kept
dark secret of banking … You could
say, a cover up! |
