Sanaa (Yemen) running out of water

“This capital city is under threat of being the first in the world to run out of water,” the deputy minister said bluntly. “And we don’t want to be famous for that.”

I ask Muslim extremists would it not be better to devote their efforts to helping people in need than terrorism? Spend the money on improving infrastructure and not weapons.

419 Nigerian Scam originates nearer home – Málaga Spain

Fed up with these e-mails we posted a rumor that plain clothes policemen were going into Nigerian Internet Cafes to catch these scammers. You can imagine to our surprise several months later when television broadcast that this had actually happened. Had the Nigerian police seen our posting and acted on it?

We are pleased to see that the Spanish police have arrested a network operating in the Málaga area of Spain, detaining ten members of the gang who had defrauded their victims of 19.000 € in just 3 months.

The crooks had been connected to the internet via the unprotected WiFi connection of their neighbors, so operating from anonymity.

The 'Iran operation' named following the complaint of an Iranian citizen who alerted the police that he had been cheated. The victim received a letter in which he reported that he had been blessed with an award in Spain under an international promotion of the 'Lotteries and Gambling Spanish'. He sent two urgent transfers for a total of 5,000 euros to the so called “Collection Agent”. Once he had sent the money, he lost all contact with the scammer. The investigators tracked the computer connections used by the organization. To their surprise they saw that the vast majority originated from a chalet called Teatinos, occupied by a normal family. The officers searched the surrounding area and noted that in the attached cottage adjacent lived several men of Nigerian origin. Their high life style with no evidence of gainful employment gave them away.

During the past two weeks the police have arrested approximately 400 and 20 Romanians involved in credit card fraud. The Spanish police are pretty effective.

New-build property (England) scam worse than feared, FSA warns

The new-build property fraud carried out by criminal gangs is more serious than originally feared, the regulator admitted today, with more than 200 cases already under investigation and more appearing every day.

The scams appeared to be run by ‘organised rings, using mortgage and property fraud to make significant profits', FSA crime director Philip Robinson told a Council of Mortgage Lender’s fraud seminar.

'There seem to be a lot of criminals who have realised that mortgage fraud allows them not only to wash their ill-gotten gains, but make a profit in the process,' Robinson said.

The average loss on each property is estimated to be around £45,000. Accomplices can include brokers, solicitors, valuers and other professionals in the property market. Robinson warned that these were often hardened criminals involved in other criminal activities, included drugs or people-smuggling.

New Model Adviser revealed last week that police, regulators, and trade bodies were investigating a spate of property frauds that targeted lenders advancing loans on new-build city centre flats.

The complex fraud involves bogus surveys and mortgage applications that artificially inflate the value of the property. Lenders only realise when they are forced to repossess the property and try to sell. The FSA promised cases of enforcement action were in the pipeline.

‘Not many of these have seen the light of day yet, but they will – watch this space,’ Robinson said.

However, he acknowledged the scale of the problem had caught the regulator by surprise, and that it was currently working to improve its understanding of the issued involved.

City of London Police are set to produce a report on mortgage fraud within weeks, and other forces around the country are considering how to deal with the problem.

The CML has also announced that it is planning to overhaul its rulebook to improve transparency in the valuing process to help stem the tide. The soon-to-be established National Fraud Strategic Authority is also likely to tackle the issue as a matter of urgency.

Robinson also took the opportunity to remind consumers of their responsibilities. ‘Inflating incomes, lying about their circumstances – it might seem harmless, but if there's one thing we've all learnt about fraud in recent years, it's that the old cliché about fraud being a victimless crime is simply false,’ he said.
