Could this happen to you or a loved one?

New Fraud Tips
Imagine you lost an ID card or license or had them stolen. No big deal, you'll just go and get another one right?

Now imagine yourself driving from Memphis TN back to St. Louis after a weekend with friends.You get stopped by the Missouri Highway Patrol and a record check is ran on you. You are ordered from the car, placed under arrest, extradited to Edwardsville IL and are in jail for three days. You are arraigned for the charge of forgery and cashing a counterfeit check. You have to hire an attorney or accept a public defender.
What do you do next. Where do you start? You now have a criminal record.

 How about another scenario?
You have your purse taken while washing clothes at a Laundromat. You file a police report, however you don' get your license changed. You get a traffic ticket and have to go to court in St. Louis city. They run a record check on you and find out that you are wanted in in St. Louis County municipality for forgery. Three days later you are transported from the city to the county and are booked and held for 24 hours in jail. You are then released pending warrant application. You now have a criminal record. Again what do you do, where do you start?

The final scenario
You have a relative or a friend that you look after. This elderly lady who is 84 years old has been telling you about these people calling about how she won some money but to get it you have to send a processing fee to Jamaica, and if you you do it right away you will get more sweepstakes money. You find someone who investigates fraud and tells them the situation. They begin to investigate but find out that your elderly loved one has drawn out her life's savings and either send it to Jamaica or has written checks to others in the United States that bought the identification information of the elderly person online through chat rooms. How would you feel? What do you do first?

These three scenarios are true stories about active investigations that we are handling. This could be you or a loved one.

The Federal Trade Commission has enacted rules that require businesses of all types to have in place a plan to prevent fraudulent transactions from occurring against you but I bet you never heard of it. The law was put into effect December 31,2010.
