What is wrong with scammers on the Internet?

Where can we turn to for internet scammers?

• I have been on the net with a gentleman proposing to offer me the opportunity to invest $$$ in a private account and invest the funds accordingly for profit in the property market. I have these skills and also the contacts and proceeded to do so. before the hard work started I began by researching the gentleman involved and also the possible authenticty of the documents. Again because of contacts, I had documents with similar themes from the counrty of which this gentleman came from. Beware on the net!!! Scammers are there and it's our stupidity that lets them get by. JUST BEWARE.

• Answer:

  Internet Crime Complaint Center The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) was established as a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to serve as a means to receive Internet related criminal complaints, research, develop and refer the criminal complaints to law enforcement agencies for any investigation they deem to be appropriate. The IFCC was intended, and continues to emphasize serving the broader law enforcement community, to include federal, as well as state and local agencies, which are combating Internet crime and in many cases participating in Cyber Crime Task Forces. Since its inception, the IFCC has received complaints crossing the spectrum of cyber crime matters, to include on-line fraud in its many forms, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) matters, Computer Intrusions (hacking), Economic Espionage (Theft of Trade Secrets), On-line Extortion, International Money Laundering, Identity Theft and a growing list of Internet facilitated crimes. Over the past three years it has become increasingly evident that, regardless of the label placed on a cyber crime matter, the potential for it to overlap with another referred matter is substantial. The IFCC is therefore being renamed the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), to better reflect the broad character of such matters having a cyber (Internet) nexus referred to the IC3, and to minimize the need for one to distinguish "Internet Fraud" from other potentially overlapping cyber crimes.
