Welcome to today’s edition of carnival of fraud.
Wenchypoo has a piece on real property flipping. She explains how the television shows about flipping are more about cosmetic facelifts, while real flipping involves serious issues with terribly rundown properties.
Vahid Chaychi talks about the online payment system called StormPay, and why it was a scam that ripped off thousands of people.
Leon Gettler and SOX First talks about Sarbanes-Oxley five years later. It was brought in to clean up corporate America, but research shows that a substantial proportion of employees at publicly traded companies think their employers are unethical.
Fred Black talks about his recent experience with identity theft, and what consumers can do to protect themselves.
Identity Theft Awareness presents a piece on reducing your risk of identity theft by consolidating accounts and loans. Fewer accounts are easier to monitor for unauthorized activity.
My pal Matt Paulson discusses the Chase “Freedom” Card. He found it’s just another credit card with a fancy advertising campaign, and it’s really no better than other cards (or reward programs) out there.
My featured post this week is on resident cyber-stalker Judd Bagley of Overstock.com (now referred to by many as Overstalk.com) and his attempt at intimidating a 19-year-0ld blogger.
