Question by Dave: What are e-commerce “fraud investigation” jobs like? What do entry-level jobs in this field typically involve?
I have seen at least a couple of online retailers advertise jobs in “fraud investigation”, etc. I am just wondering what these jobs involve typically, and what I can demonstrate to the employer to make myself a strong job candidate.

Answer by Marcus I’m sure you will need knowledge of forensic accounting. I bought a book and finally read some of it, and it basically teaches you how to be a crook. Everything is about money, and a finance related background and even an accounting degree would be nice. Along with a computer science degree or Java certification.
Everything has to do with “Money”. If you’ve seen Superman or Office Space, you know that stealing a penny from each account amounts to millions. ha ha.
It’s much more. But finance/math/comp sci, is good to have. You’ll basically be a “quant”, which you can wiki.
It’s my goal too…

Question by Josh: How do you report a scam artist who uses a yahoo based email account?
After looking on Craigslist, I found a car offered that I asked for more info via email. I wish to report that I found the person to be a scam artist using a Yahoo email account. How can I do that?
Best answer:
Answer by Buffy Staffordshire Alerting yahoo that the email is being used by a scammer will accomplish nothing.
The scammer will keep scamming with another of his dozens of free email addresses and fake names. Shutting one will not slow in the least, in fact, just the opposite is true. Closing an account can actually sped a scam along, all the scammer has to do is use another of his accounts to say to his victim is “see, the bad guys are after me, my email account is closed, send your money fast so I can get out of this bad situation”.
Posting a scammer’s email address and the emails themselves on every scam-busting site you can find is great way to actually slow that scammer down. A suspicious potential victim will find your post by googling for information and then not become a victim because you took the time to ‘get the word out’. There are several scam-warning-anti-fraud-busting sites that would love to add that scammer to their collections.

www.oppenheimlaw.com Roy Oppenheim talks about foreclosure and bank fraud crisis with CBS4 I-Team investigator Stephen Stock. CBS4 I-Team uncovered forged and fraudulent documents that may have been used in thousands of foreclosure cases in Florida. And now the entire real estate industry could be impacted—even those who did not have a direct hand in the foreclosure document mess. Adding insult to injury, some title underwriters are now not willing to insure any real property where GMAC foreclosed. That means if you recently purchased a home, just pray you have title insurance because you have a huge claim looming. You will not be able to resell or refinance your property for a long time. So… while some of us have warned for some time that many of the banks are really not “good” eggs, Chicken Little has come home to roost. “All the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” http Oppenheim continues to help Florida homeowners learn more about developing stories concerning bank fraud and will focus on this subject in his monthly foreclosure defense workshop on Wednesday October 6 at 6pm.

Question by aybaybay123123: Is a fraud alert on my credit card a false sense of security?
I am paying like a month to have a fraud alert protection through wells fargo on my credit card. Will this really protect me against someone getting a credit card in my name? I heard that theses fraud alerts are a false sense of security. Am I wasting my money? Thanks for any knowledge you might have in this area.
Best answer:
Answer by Starpepper Yes, in my opinion you are wasting your money. Here’s why: you are only liable for the first if you lose your card and if your number is stolen and used fraudulently (as long as you report it asap). The fraud alert may notify you of suspicious activity, but it can’t stop it from happening.
