The bulk of action taken against eBay users is due to other members 'policing' the site.\n\nThese people are often experts in specific areas and can often recognise return offenders who they have had dealings with before.

You could work in a research department for a bank.  When deposits are lost you need to find where the money went.  When fraud is done on an account you need to "investigate".

If the thieves intend to use the data for fraud, they will most likely not start doing so until the fraud alerts that most of us have filed expire, three months from now.\n\nSince the credit-reporting companies are required to provide you with one free credit report a year, if you request it, and there are three companies like this, you could stagger your requests to them so that you get a report from a different company once every four months.\n\nI think that's a pretty big hassle, though. If organizations can't be more reasonable about how they collect and store information about us, they could at least send us copies of the information they're collecting automatically.

My company works on Identity theft. The things that the other people have posted here are good steps to follow.\n\nBut I wouldn't stop doing internet transactions. I have never known anyone becoming a victim of ID theft from doing transactions over the net accept for when the company you are doing business with gets hacked and that can happen to any company whether you use your credit card on line by phone or in person.\n\nThe average Identity theft case takes an average of 600 hours and $1500.00 to clear up and even then you may not get the problem solved.\n\nWhat everyone needs but almost no one has is Identity theft protection.\n\nEmail me at ChuckBaker11@yahoo.com and I can give you more information.

Yes, I purchased a USB Flash Drive that was counterfeit. Because I received something I was not protected with Paypal or Ebay...they only help you if you received NOTHING! Ebay kicked her off, Paypal said sorry...so I filed a formal complaint the the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov\nI also ran a search on the buyer to find out everything about her and contacted the Economic Crimes Division of her local Police Department and explained the situation to them...they accepted the case for criminal prosecution...it is still in the works. They have already obtained a search warrant for the Paypal and Ebay transaction records......sure sucks to mess with someone in law enforcement!!

Remember fraud and thievery have been around for a long time. No law can prevent these from happening. All it can do is to catch the thieves and punish them. If you look at Enron, Worldcom etc., the law worked. May be we should look at instilling a sense of honesty and integrity in present and future leaders of business.\n\nSarbox is fine. Those who cry "overregulation" want to dilute it.\n\ncc

Start with your county's District Attorney's Office. They often investigate claims against local officials. Some have a Public Integrity Unit. Good luck!

First and foremost, hire an attorney you can trust, then offer to do a polygraph, and then wait.  At least this way you're armed and ready...and if someone comes right out and says you leaked company info, come out with all guns blazing...sue the bastards, not necessarily for the money, one's reputation will get you further than suing for monetary gains, plus it may send a message to other companies to look before they leap!

Even if it is prosecution quality (which requires data collaboration) you still need some other evidence even if circumstantial.  The extent will depend on the case.\n\nYou can win a civil case on the basis of balance of probability with CCTV alone I believe.

First, make sure YOU are super-clean in that area, then contact your state's income tax agency, as well as the IRS Federal web site.  They have investigational units, and many times reward based on the amount recovered after an audit. They like going after private businesses more than individuals with moderate incomes-it's more profitable to them.\n\nMake SURE you have a basis for knowing there is tax fraud involved; it is a VERY serious charge, and your own motives will be questioned.

Many legal documents are now filed via the internet.  I work in a building department that reviews certified documents.  They are 'VeriSign' verified and have an electronic signature.

No it's not, but usually the banks absorb the losses resulting from fraud because it's in their interests to prevent it being generally known how insecure it is.  By shifting so much over to the internet, the banks can sack 1,000s of staff and save lots of money.  What they lose in fraud is more than worth it to them when set against what they save in staff wages.
