Why is one of my first thoughts “would radical Leftists think this fraud is a good thing?” And how can your somewhat normal moderate liberal support the Dems right now?
Because they have been infected with the commie mind virus complicated by Orange man bad syndrome. Their brains are now literally defective and unable to reason accurately.
Why are many Dems looking the other way to allow fraud, or actively promoting NGO fraud for their political benefit? Could it be because they have no morals, the end justifies the means for them.?.
You mean like antifa? when will the left get enough self respect to quit lying in public forums with people who know they are lying? You created Trump kept in the headlines as a victim during biden and got him elected again. And are you working on new policies that will attract the independents voters you need to win electi0ns? New leaders that appeal to the ordinary American. Do you enjoy wallowing in pity and self destructive behavior? Will you ever over come your hate and become winners again. One thing that is obvious today, you folks couldn't govern an insane asylum! Your a worthless bunch. To anyone but your yourself and certainly to America.
looks like Americans are the top target for every criminal in the world.
There are entire office buildings in Russia whose entire business model is ripping off Americans. As long as they don’t run afoul of Putin and pay taxes and duties, they are safe. That’s from Brian Krebs’s book Spam Nation published in 2015. Enough with this toleration of robbery.
My ex sister in law married a Lebanese man. He brought 6 family members. They were all involved in a middle eastern fraud ring that set up car accidents between participants. Then they filed insurance claims, "went" to doctor visits and therapy and Medicaid was billed for all of it though no one ever went, they just signed papers. Everyone in the car got$10000 can for each accident. We reported it, nothing ever done.
They also ran credit card scams we also reported. Card companies didn't care. It wasn't until my niece was molested by him that they were caught incidentally and went to prison.
A nurse I worked with father was a doctor running Medicare Medicaid scams . Armenian. He got busted had to wear an ankle bracelet while he was still allowed to practice medicine.
No one deported. This was in the 90's in California
Tell me which bankers have committed fraud to the tune of many billions of dollars. don't get tired of looking stupid? You've fallen off your horse too many times.
Most older susceptible people usually watch a lot of TV. I'd like to see the government invest in some TV commercials warning people about these activities.
Ever notice who most of the protesters, in the day time, are in favor of the left and wacko policies? Old senile folks who seemed to be trying to make up for not joining the protests against Vietnam.
And I am one of that age group at 73 and find them disgusting, easily lead and actually on a permanent high. Losers.
It is truly amazing that a state can pass a law that restricts an officer of the court from reporting a Federal crime, ie, illegal immigrants, already a criminal, committing additional crimes. Outrageous!
WTF, our country is screwed. On top of this we have Federal judges who go along with this nonsense and it takes months for higher courts to overturn this abuse. Even worse than the criminals getting away with this, is that the “law makers” and judges have no consequences for what I believe should be considered illegal and criminal actions.
Again, I repeat, we are so screwed.
Thank you Chris for pointing out the absurdity of this nonsense.
And the media keeps propagating the myth that illegal immigrants have lower crime rates than American-born population. Well, if a) fraud is barely reported it doesn't make it into statistics and b) sentences are reduced based on the race and immigration status is concealed by the courts - that alone reduces numbers of immigrant crime rates substantially. Add the anger being whipped up against the billionaires by the media, and we are screwed.
Exactly! Why aren’t officers prosecuted federally for carrying out the “unlawful orders” of their governors? Put a few in Leavenworth and the rest will start complying with federal (supremacy clause) laws! DHS should make a PSA directed at state officials threatening federal prosecution!
Ditto 💯, The PSA would be great. “Don’t obey your Governor’s or Mayor’s orders telling you to break Federal laws. You will be punished”. Take a page out of their playbook.
As both a life-lone (disenfranchised) Democrat and career prosecutor, there is enormous truth in what this detective is saying, particularly about how safe this felony scams are from effective prosecution.
I had never considered the twin issues - the functional immunity of non-citizens in Blue states (like Oregon where I was an elected prosecutor for 25 years) and the increasing refusal of states to extradite property crimes, even ones involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This makes these scams effectively bullet-proof from any real law enforcement.
I have a client who is an FBI agent who worked on Medicare fraud. She told me once that they don’t even investigate for fraud under $1mm. I always wonder how many people know that and have kept their frauds just below that amount, because there is definitely a network of foreigners from many countries who seem to know how to rip off the US or its citizens with ease.
Who says the government is okay with fraud. Here's a clue for you: the credit card company is the actor that can bring charges not the state or even the consumer who reports the use of their credit card for fraud.
Utterly ridiculous. I can report a crime to the post office (Federal), the IRS( Federal), to any number of state offices ( at least in Texas). Your ignorance is astounding.
Turn off the money spigot to these sanctuary city states who don’t enforce the law. That will get their attention. They are all broke. They can’t print money. They can’t raise taxes because they are already too high. They will be forced to change.
Some offshoot of what I believe was the “Traveling Conmen Fraud Group” descended on our neighborhood a couple of years ago—in our case two Irish brothers (?) packing Celtic charm and stacks of bogus masonry business flyers. The lads only had to hook one gullible Boomer for “chimney repairs” and then use that easy mark for reference and to scope out neighboring properties. I watched with horror as neighbor after neighbor fell for their winsome wiles and shockingly white teeth. Within a week they had multiple jobs going just on my street using this ‘reference’ scheme and what appeared to be random non-English speaking Hispanic teenagers picked up off the street with absolutely no idea what they were doing. (If you struggle to imagine young Hispanic guys with no visible understanding of tool use, know that they do exist.) And just as quickly as our slippery Hibernian twins appeared, they scarpered, along with the fake Yelp account and website. As far as I know, no projects got done (or done properly) and at least one person paid $10k upfront and later had to pay someone to rip out the significant mess they left behind.
The upshot? This is a middle/upper middle class area in the bluest of blue areas where advanced degrees abound and knowledge workers dominate but almost no one fixes or maintains anything themselves. Or knows how to do so. It’s extraordinary the wholesale lack of basic skills and cupidity endemic here. While I’m sympathetic to older people who blindly trust or are legitimately confused, I’m increasingly frustrated by how weaponized trust permeates everything and is reinforced by willful ignorance. And given the human tendency to avoid admitting one was fooled or exposed by lazy thinking, adverse events get forgotten and the grifts keep rolling on. All of which seems emblematic of blue states in particular and our nation in general. We simply have to stop outsourcing our labor and collected understanding of how things work. We’re telegraphing weakness and the predators hear it loud and clear.
I am a 69 year old grandma. I don't understand how my peers can be this brain dead! Hand over cash to a stranger? Astonishingly dumb. Maybe someone needs to go to senior centers and educate the elderly. Because this seems just ridiculously ignorant.
What about the foreigners calling again and again to buy my house? When I don't let the phone ring, or hang up, I ask for a million dollars cash. One asked to negotiate, so I raised it to two million.
Thou shalt not steal. Unless it’s from an elderly person, or from Medicare, etc. Was just hearing a story from a friend of mine that her elderly father got scammed out of some money using some gift cards he had to buy. The local grocery store where he was buying them alerted the family. I assume at this point everything is scam. Tell others everything is a scam.
Godspeed to the work of these detectives. May their tribe increase. May God bring repentance to the criminals. They will have to give an account before God face-to-face one day.

THERE ARE NO LEFTISTS THEY ARE ALL TERRORISTS RUINING OUR COUNTRY
Radical Leftists. A mythical creature that lives in the fevered imagination of wealthy rednecks.
Why are many Dems looking the other way to allow fraud, or actively promoting NGO fraud for their political benefit? Could it be because they have no morals, the end justifies the means for them.?.

THEY HAVE RUINED OUR COUNTRY AND WE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO STOP IT PERIOD ANYONE THAT HAS A TERRORIST DEMONCRAT AS A FRIEND IS CRAZY
Leftism is a religion. They are criminally blinded by it.

Thank you, open-borders Democrats, for introducing imported fraudsters en masse to our nation.
My ex sister in law married a Lebanese man. He brought 6 family members. They were all involved in a middle eastern fraud ring that set up car accidents between participants.

Car accident fraud was very popular with Russian immigrants in the 90es.
That is low rent compared to bankers.
Tell me which bankers have committed fraud to the tune of many billions of dollars. don't get tired of looking stupid? You've fallen off your horse too many times.

they are in every single state OHIO is a perfect example it is horrific tat we the people let it Happen . USA IS DONE COME BACK JESUS NOW
See: Minnesota
No wonder you quit Democratic Party. It is a long way downhill before the blue states wake up. Argentina spent 90 years in the wilderness.
I have a client who is an FBI agent who worked on Medicare fraud. She told me once that they don’t even investigate for fraud under $1mm. I always wonder how many people know that and have kept their frauds just below that amount, because there is definitely a network of foreigners from many countries who seem to know how to rip off the US or its citizens with ease.
yeah they were to busy Terrorizing Jan 6 innocent people
And at least in the blue states, the government is fine with the fraud. Kind of makes you wonder if they aren’t benefiting…
Who says the government is okay with fraud. Here's a clue for you: the credit card company is the actor that can bring charges not the state or even the consumer who reports the use of their credit card for fraud.
Utterly ridiculous. I can report a crime to the post office (Federal), the IRS( Federal), to any number of state offices ( at least in Texas). Your ignorance is astounding.
Only for credit card fraud, not for bank fraud, mortgage fraud, Medicare fraud, tax fraud, and of course, cowboy fraud.
You need to quit sniffing the cow pies. Those fumes aren't good for you.
Wonder really how about they are evil and are paid to destroy USA EVERY SINGLE STATE IS TAKEN OVER BUY MUSLIMS EVERY SINGLE ONE
Turn off the money spigot to these sanctuary city states who don’t enforce the law. That will get their attention. They are all broke. They can’t print money. They can’t raise taxes because they are already too high. They will be forced to change.

What about the foreigners calling again and again to buy my house? When I don't let the phone ring, or hang up, I ask for a million dollars cash. One asked to negotiate, so I raised it to two million.
😆 🤣
Thank the Biden/Harris voters for the invasion of illegal aliens. The Democrats are pro-
open borders, defund/demolish law enforcement, pro-crime, no bail, criminals able to vote,…..
