The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is serious about shareholder, and investor protection, and their due diligence services for real estate, or investment opportunities are second to none. Just so most US, or global investors know what they are talking about, there are probably 10,000′s of US of high net worth individuals, who are now fully invested in a Ponzi scheme. The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog does not believe the average high net worth individual ever does due diligence on most real estate deals, or investment opportunities. They fear the net result is many investors simply go broke. As an example of what they are talking about, according to the March 23rd 2009 edition of Sports Illustrated, “Athletes from the nation’s three biggest and most profitable leaguesthe NBA, NFL and Major League Baseballare suffering from a financial pandemic. Although salaries have risen steadily during the last three decades, reports from a host of sources (athletes, players’ associations, agents and financial advisers) indicate that:
By the time they have been retired for two years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce.
Within five years of retirement, an estimated 60% of former NBA players are broke.
The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says, “In this type of economic environment you really do need to get a second, or third opinion before you bet the farm on a too good to be true real estate deal, or an investment opportunity. We are hoping you will call us, and take advantage before you invest a penny. We are also urging high net worth individuals concerned about their cash already plowed into an investment opportunity, or too good to be true real estate deal to make sure it is legitimate. Please don’t end up like the majority of NFL, or NBA players.” For more information investors can call the Wall Street Fraud Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via its web site at http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com
The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says, “On The topic of investment fraud, every real estate investor, or residential real estate home buyer interested in too good to be true real estate foreclosure deals in the US Southeast, had better learn everything there is to know about toxic Chinese drywall in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Southeast Texas, and Virginia before they spend a penny one of these bank owned properties. The time frame for toxic Chinese drywall in the US Southeast is 2001-2008. We know there are investment groups being formed to buy these homes, typically from taxpayer owned Fannie Mae. We also know that unless these homes are properly remediated they are worthless, and potentially a gigantic liability for an investor. Unfortunately, even though it is estimated there are several hundred thousand homes in the US Southeast, that contain toxic Chinese drywall, President Obama has yet to mention the topic one time in public, there has been no meaningful response from the US EPA, and there are no rules. This is exactly the type of disaster we want to keep investors away from, or at least educate them about before they jump in; possibly making the biggest mistake of their life.” http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) January 27, 2012
RoadFish.com men’s lifestyle and finance magazine released their top tips for protecting against identity theft which can wreak havoc on personal finances and future finance endeavors. RoadFish’s advice comes after the news that early filers tax refunds will be will delayed due to the implementation of anti-cyberfraud measures by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, “An estimated 8.6 million households had at least one person age 12 or older who experienced identity theft victimization in 2010. This was an increase from the 6.4 million households victimized in 2005.” That is an approximate 33% increase in identity theft.
The advice provided by RoadFish contains useful tips such as keeping a watchful eye on all bank and credit accounts. They suggest reviewing your accounts on a regular basis, obtaining a credit report once a year, contacting credit bureaus to correct incorrect information, only making online purchases through secure checkout, shredding documents with personally identificable information such as account numbers and addresses, as well as refusing to give out your social security number unless required for tax or benefit purposes.
Susan Tompor of the Detroit Free Press wrote, “The IRS told tax professionals in an IRS alert Thursday afternoon that the one-week delay for some refunds relates to fine-tuning IRS systems to adjust for new safeguards put in place this tax season to provide stronger protection against refund fraud….The safeguards relate to growing concerns about cyberfraud and crooks who are obtaining refunds by stealing Social Security numbers, creating fake returns, filing 1040s electronically early in the season and obtaining tax refunds.”
RoadFish’s editor is quoted as saying, “Now I get that it can be annoying that your tax return is a whole week late, but honestly, if that is the price to pay to have the IRS on point to catch fraudulent tax returns with stolen social security numbers then that is a small price. It is horrifying to me that people are despicable enough to steal someone’s personal information for their own gain, but it does happen. With identity theft on the rise, spreading the word on simple actions that can be taken to minimize the risk of someone muddying your credit report or taking over your life seemed right.”
As RoadFish released their tips, NJToday.net released a story about 2 people in Middlesex County that were charged with filing false federal income tax returns.
NJToday.net stated, “According to documents filed in this case: Both defendants are charged with preparing with co-conspirators false tax returns in the name of another person. The returns included an address that did not correspond with the actual address of the person whose name and Social Security number was used on the fraudulent return; false statements about income; false W-2 forms from employers who did not employ the person named on the return; false information about income tax withholding, and false claims for refunds.”
Hopefully, RoadFish’s tips will help unsuspecting Americans to guard their personal and financial information in light of this real issue.
