Does fraud block make it harder to check your credit for an apartment?
Q. I have good credit, but have thie fraud blocking mechanism, will that make it harder to get an apartment.
Asked by chriscothran29 - Mon Jan 7 10:14:29 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. With a fraud alert or security freeze, your credit report/score can still be checked. The fraud alert is something that is redone every 90 days. It requires any new creditor to call you before any new credit accounts can be opened. A security freeze completely freezes your credit. Even you can't open a new line of credit w/o unfreezing. That costs about $10 per credit bureau depending on where you live. A landlord will still be able to check your report to see if you're a good risk.

A. Investigations are conducted at the county level; you would contact the local county agency. You don't need proof, that's their bailiwick. The penalty would depend on the type and severity of the fraud.

When was the last voter fraud conviction in a national election?
Q. Near election time there seems to be a lot of brouhaha about voter fraud. What percent of the accusations actually get to court or end in convictions?
Asked by dis_orient_ed - Fri Oct 10 16:07:58 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year. More than 30 were linked to small vote-buying schemes in which candidates generally in sheriff s or judge s races paid voters for their support. Many of those charged by the Justice Department appear to have mistakenly filled out registration forms or misunderstood eligibility rules, a review of court records and interviews with prosecutors and defense lawyers show.

ACORN was even slated by the House to receive money from the bailout bill. Fortunately that was halted.

Otherwise, you have can easily have a person just going from one voting place to another with different names. That is begging for fraudulent votes.

What experience is needed for a job in the anti-fraud industry and how can I get it while working full time?
Q. I am currently working in the DC metro area as a background investigator (government contractor). I'd like to get into the anti-fraud industry (maybe insurance fraud/white collar crime); however, I don't know what the essential tools are for these types of jobs. I have a bachelors degree. I am willing to go back to school and/or take professional courses, but I don't know where to begin and don't want to waste my money. I don't think I want to stay in the DC area forever, so learning about requirements in the private industry is very important to me. Thank you.

A. You have every right to correct such a fraudulent transaction. Call Cingular and explain what has occurred, and ask for a copy of the signed service contract. I believe Cingular has a fraud control division, and you may be able to get guidance from them. It may take persistence and patience to get this resolved, but there is no way it should legitimately show up on your credit report, since you are not involved with this transaction in any fashion other than fraud.

A. Please note: There is no cost to you if your identity is stolen. These commericials are making a fortune by scaring people. When you are victim, you simply report it and the charges will be removed. The most money out of pocket a phone call, maybe some stamps. If you are still worried, you can put a freeze on all your accounts. You can do this by going to annualcreditreport.com First you check all all reports (after printing them out). Find the section to put a freeze on your reports - about 4 bucks per report. When you need a loan, you will have to unfreeze by calling a number and entering a pin. /

A. Criminal convictions in Social Security card and disability frauds can either earn imprisonment or a large sum of money as a fine, while the civil penalties may require the individual to pay a substantial amount of money as a fine or recommendation of revoking or suspending the professional license of the individual. It will depend on whether or not he is facing criminal charges for defrauding the government or if they intend to pursue remedies in civil court (or in some cases, both). A felony conviction will result either in the suspension of his license, or his privileges granted by the license limited (called a disciplinary license) until he has completed the sentence and paid all fines associated with the charge.
