Calgary, Alberta, Canada Annonces Classées: Preventing scams and fraud. Best practices.

Recognizing scams

Most scams involve one or more of the following:
  • inquiry from someone far away, often in another country
  • Western Union, Money Gram, cashier's check, money order, shipping, escrow service, or a "guarantee"
  • inability or refusal to meet face-to-face before consumating transaction

    Signs of a Rental Scam

    1 - Most legit posters will leave either a phone number or website link to their property listed. If there is no phone number or website link then always be prepared that this might be a scam.
    2 - If the price is too good to be true then it probably is a scam. Especially if number 1 falls into place.
    3 - If the owner seems to be pushy on getting information out of you. SS number, address, phone number, bank account details etc.
    4 - Owner wants the deposit first and is unable to show the property.
    5 - Owner is living out of state or a foreign country.
    6 - Owner wants you to pay for a credit report first then tells you to go to a credit reporting site of his choice.
    7 - Owners requests an application fee before you see the property.

    Sept. 11 and the Ongoing Wars over Causality, Community, Cosmology, and Crime
    Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. The horrific tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001 was a culmination of ongoing wars over causality, community, cosmology, and crime. In this context, causality refers to the simple fact that everything that happens must have a cause or an action, or series of actions, causing the effect (event). There were actually thousands of behaviors, actions and causes leading to Sept. 11 (listed at the end of this article). At the same time, Sept. 11 must be understood in terms of communities. Communities are not only groups of people that have common beliefs, purposes and shared goals, but they are organizations of nations with like-minded political,...

    Serbia gives up bid on Kosovo rule
    The Serbian government has given up its bid to challenge Kosovo's independence at the UN general assembly meeting, after reaching a compromise with the European Union (EU). The UN general assembly on Thursday adopted a watered-down resolution without a formal vote, which "acknowledges" an international court ruling that Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia was legal. The landmark resolution called for dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo. "Dialogue in itself would be a factor for peace, security and stability in the region," the joint Serbia-EU resolution read. But Serbia maintained it would never accept the split. Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, said there will be no...

    U.S. Sees Heightened Threat in Mexico
    By ADAM ENTOUS And NATHAN HODGE WASHINGTON—The Obama administration sees the drug-related violence sweeping Mexico as a growing threat to U.S. national security and has launched a broad review of steps the military and intelligence community could take to help combat what some U.S. officials describe as a narcoinsurgency.

    Florida pastor says he's 'rethinking' canceled Quran burning
    Pastor says he'll cancel Quran burning (CNN) -- A Florida pastor who called off a Quran burning said late Thursday he was "rethinking our position" after a proposed meeting over the location of an Islamic center near New York's ground zero went unconfirmed. The dramatic development was one of several twists on a day when President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged the Rev. Terry Jones to call off the Saturday event, timed for the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. During the afternoon, Jones canceled his plan to burn copies of the Quran, based on what he said were assurances from a local Muslim leader that the Islamic center in New York would...

    Al Qaeda prisoners escape US custody in Iraq
    BAGHDAD (AP) - Four prisoners with links to Al Qaeda being guarded by American troops escaped from a maximum-security prison in Baghdad and are still at large, US and Iraqi officials said Thursday. The breakout from Karkh Prison, formerly called Camp Cropper, is an embarrassment for the US military, which has handed over control of all of the detention facilities it used to run to the Iraqi government. But at the request of the Iraqis, the US has retained custody over some of the most dangerous prisoners, including those with ties to terrorist groups or Saddam Hussein's former regime.

    US Marines take back pirate-held ship off Somalia
    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — U.S. Marine commandos stormed a pirate-held cargo ship off the Somalia coast Thursday, reclaiming control and taking nine prisoners without firing a shot in the first such boarding raid by the international anti-piracy flotilla, U.S. Navy officials said. The mission — using small craft to reach the deck of German-owned vessel as the crew huddled in a safe room below — ranks among the most dramatic high seas confrontations with pirates by the task force created to protect shipping lanes off lawless Somalia. The crew managed to kill the engines before taking refuge in an panic room-style chamber, leaving the ship adrift and the pirates so frustrated they...

    Obama warns Koran-burning would boost al Qaeda
    GAINESVILLE, Florida (Reuters) – President Barack Obama warned on Thursday that an obscure U.S. Christian pastor's plan to burn the Koran could provoke al Qaeda suicide bombings, as international pressure mounted on Washington to step in. "This is a recruitment bonanza for al Qaeda," Obama said in an ABC television interview. "You could have serious violence in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan. This could increase the recruitment of individuals who would be willing to blow themselves up in American cities or European cities." The international police agency Interpol warned governments worldwide of an increased risk of terrorist attacks if the planned burning...
