Welcome to i-fraud.org - the International Fraud Directory. This messageboard is designed for users to post reports of their international transactions that they feel have been fraudulent in some fashion. To post a claim, you must first register with us. This will help us monitor postings and communicate with you in the event of an error as well as protect your identity in association with your posting as your username will be posted as opposed to your actual name. Finally, we ask that you not include any specific names of people or organizations that you have found to be fraudulent, unless you can provide verifiable legal proof that you have been defrauded. This site is for discussion of situations and manners of international business that have been deemed fraudulent by your own definitions. Posting a name of a company will only cause the violator to change their name - but, if we make others aware of their method of defrauding people, we are more likely to become aware of the situation and remove ourselves before we get "in too deep." |
