Extractions: FEDERAL, STATE LAW ENFORCERS, 1,500 PRIVATE SECTOR VOLUNTEERS LAUNCH "PROJECT MAIL BOX" Over 1,500 private sector volunteers joined a coalition of federal, state and local law enforcers to target alleged direct mail con artists who prey on senior citizens. FTC, U. S. Postal Inspection Service, the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG), 25 state Attorneys General and local law enforcement officials and AARP announced 190 law enforcement actions against fraudulent direct mail schemes, including one firm that allegedly used over 200 different business names and bilked consumers out of $100 million a year. "AARP believes that the law enforcement actions announced today are an important step in the war against consumer fraud." So said AARP President Margaret A. Dixon. "But it is equally important to educate consumers about these types of crimes to help them avoid becoming victims in the first place." The alleged scams targeted in the law enforcement sweep conned consumers with a range of deceptive claims, including misrepresentations that a mailing was from the government; deceptive claims that consumers have won something; misrepresentations that consumers have unclaimed assets; phony billing scams; bogus advance fee credit card offers; and false contest claims.

WashingtonPost.com: The Cult Controversy
LaRouche Convicted Of mail fraud By Caryle Murphy Washington PostStaff Writer Saturday, December 17, 1988; Page A01. federal jury
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/cult/larouche/larou6.htm

Extractions: Saturday, December 17, 1988; Page A01 federal jury in Alexandria convicted political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. and six associates yesterday of conspiracy and mail fraud in his group's solicitation of $34 million in loans since 1983. LaRouche, a four-time presidential candidate who has promoted his controversial ideas internationally for almost 20 years, was also convicted of conspiring to hide his personal income since 1979, the last year he filed a federal tax return. "I'm amazed, absolutely amazed," LaRouche said shortly after the jury left the courtroom. The 66-year-old political leader, who called his indictment last October "a piece of garbage," had stared impassively at the panel as its verdict was read out. The essence of the government's case was that LaRouche, who founded the National Caucus of Labor Committees in the late 1960s, and his staff solicited loans with false assurances to potential lenders and showed "reckless disregard" of the facts by failing to mention the organization's already severe financial difficulties.

http://www.nylawyer.com/news/02/09/092602c.html

Extractions: September 26, 2002 Two brothers who are lawyers at a small personal injury firm in Manhattan have been charged with defrauding clients by switching retainer agreements on them after cases were resolved, the New York Law Journal reports. Mark Virag, 58, stole $350,000 from 24 different clients and misappropriated money deposited in escrow, according to a criminal information charging him with 24 counts of mail fraud filed by the Southern District U.S. Attorney's office Wednesday. His brother, Allen Virag, 56, is charged with a single count of mail fraud involving the taking of more than $16,000 from an estate. A defendant's decision to waive indictment and agree to be prosecuted by information, as opposed to being charged in a criminal complaint, traditionally means defense lawyers have reached at least a preliminary agreement on a plea deal with prosecutors.

http://bonner-mac8.rice.edu/~WJLlope/-Quadro/DN96_08_22_fj.html

Extractions: Aug. 22, 1996 BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) - The makers of the Quadro Tracker, a detection device that government agencies have paid thousands of dollars for but scientists say is worthless, were indicted on mail fraud charges. Quadro has sold about 1,000 trackers to school districts, airports and law enforcement agencies nationwide at prices from $395 up to $8,000. It is supposedly able to detect items ranging from illicit drugs to explosives to lost golf balls. The indictment handed up Wednesday by a federal grand jury names Quadro Corp. of Harleyville, S.C., and four of its officials. They are charged with mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud for devices sold between March 1993 and January of this year. The company is now under court order not to sell the devices. According to the indictment, the company's promotional material stated that the plastic, non-electronic Quadro Tracker, also known as the Quadro Positive Molecular Locator, used a "chip" to match the molecular emissions of the substance being sought. Scientific analysis revealed the device is simply a hollow box with a transistor radio antenna attached and the "chip" is a piece of paper between two pieces of plastic, the indictment said.

Are You A Victim Of mail fraud Or Misuse Of Mail? In addition to the chainletter, another type of mail fraud is the Lonely Hearts Club.
http://www.tba.org/LawBytes/T5_1404.html

Extractions: You have received a chain letter in the mail. You recognize the last name on the list, and wonder whether or not that person is counting on you to continue the chain. You would rather not be bothered with it, but would also prefer not to disappoint the sender. The best action you could take for your friend would be to advise him or her the U.S. Postal service warns against participation in chain letter schemes. Any chain letter that requires payment of anything of value, even if it is only a handkerchief, is illegal under Federal Lottery Laws. Chain letters are also considered to be fraudulent, because they promise the possibility of large returns for only a small investment. The mail has made it possible to obtain almost anything without leaving home. But in doing so, it has also created a market for many dishonest activities. In addition to the chain letter, another type of mail fraud is the Lonely Hearts Club. Also known as Matrimonial or Pen Pal Clubs, they all have the same purpose: that is, to have correspondence with members of the opposite sex, which would lead to the possibility of marriage. People seeking romance and companionship are offered memberships and mailing lists from companies which call themselves Lonely Hearts Clubs. In some cases, the mailing lists provided by these clubs have been used to solicit money for various reasons. For example, a man might ask for travel expenses from a woman with the promise to join her, and then never show up.

combination of wit and frugality, and thanks to the bounty of your favorite consumergoodmanufacturers, committed the most ignomious crime of all mail fraud.
http://www.requestline.com/archive/feb98/mail/mail2.html

Extractions: There's just no messing with the post office. None. The United States Postal Service is the one branch of government that reaches into our lives every day-often through the mail slot on the door. It sometimes wears the guise of a gentler, more bumbling and familiar invasion of our privacy. In fact, we look forward to the mail each day. You know your mail carrier's name. Mail carriers wear funny rubber footwear in inclement weather. Do FBI and IRS agents quake when they hear a dog bark, or come roaring into town in a vehicle that resembles a patriotic ice-cream truck? Hardly. But it only takes a moment to remember how serious the mail is. Consider the Unabomber. Consider the high incidence of workplace violence and random homicide in post offices. Consider the consequences if your rent check or your car payment or that Dear John/Jane letter you just wrote were to simply...disappear? We trust the post office with the most intimate matters of life and heart. And they trust us, too. Most of us. But not all of us.

A. mail fraud AND UNORDERED MERCHANDISE. Moreover, billing for unorderedmerchandise may constitute mail fraud and/or misrepresentation.
http://cobrands.public.findlaw.com/consumer/newcontent/consumerbook/dgtchp5_a.ht

Extractions: The Mail-Order Merchandise Rule The purpose of the Federal Trade Commission Mail-Order Merchandise Rule is to protect mail-order customers. According to this rule, companies that sell by mail or telephone must ship the order within 30 days of the time they receive the order. The only exceptions are if the company clearly states a longer period of delivery in its solicitation or if you do not send sufficient information (an incomplete address or payment). If the company cannot ship your order within the advertised time, it must inform you in writing of the delay. It must also allow you to cancel if you do not agree to the delay. The company must then refund your money within seven days of receiving your request. If you paid by check or money order, your refund is a check. If you paid by credit card, you receive written notification of cancellation of the charge from your account. An advantage of paying by credit card is that your card issuer can withhold money if notified soon enough-that is, from 30 to 90 days, depending on the bank or credit company involved. The Mail-Order Merchandise Rule does not apply to COD purchases or serial delivery such as magazine subscriptions, although it does apply to the initial delivery. If you do not respond to the notice of delay, the company has another 30 days to ship the merchandise. It may not delay shipment beyond the additional 30 days without your consent.
The Fine Art Of E-mail Fraud
Whoever invented SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or, if you're me, Send MailTo People) didn't really count on the existence of hackers. Type your mail.
http://justice.loyola.edu/~mcoffey/info/mailfraud.html

Extractions: Whoever invented SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or, if you're me, Send Mail To People) didn't really count on the existence of hackers. For this reason it's relatively easy to send mail from a server you don't actually have an account on. This does not always work. In addition, there are other protocols out there as well, such as ESMTP (don't know what the E stands for), which operate on principles similar to this, but use different commands. However, with a little ingenuity and this background, you might be able to figure them out. This is incomplete and probably partly inaccurate. Mail me and tell me if you can fill me in on any misinformation I'm giving. To send mail from a domain name not your own: Telnet to the domain, port 25. (Note that many domains, especially big ones like hotmail.com or yahoo.com, do not run SMTP servers on the machines named after the @ in their users' e-mail addresses. Figuring out what their mailservers' real names are is left as an exercise to the reader.) Type , and hit enter.
