Columnist Claims Identity Theft After
Investigating Fraud At Investment Firm 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
Well known financial columnist Herb Greenberg has a fascinating article about how someone tried to snoop into his phone records. Apparently, someone pretending to be him turned on online reporting for both his Verizon cell phone and his SBC home phone. While he can't prove it, his suspicion is that it has something to do with a company he has written negatively about. The bogus online account opening occurred right after he wrote a negative article about investment firm Allied Capital. This could just be a coincidence, but once he found out that the same thing happened with both Verizon and SBC (he credits Verizon for at least sending a paper letter to his home notifying him of this -- something SBC didn't do), he called around to various sources for many different stories and asked them to check their own systems. It apparently happened to a bunch of sources -- all of whom had been investigating Allied Capital. He says he has no proof, and he knows the FBI is investigating, but as a reporter, he couldn't wait any longer and had to get the story out there.

More Enforcement Needed To Stop Online
Fraud? 09/09/2004 11:16 AM
While laws about various online scams continue to get proposed and passed, some are noticing that there already appear to be plenty of laws on the books that cover just about every kind of online scam. The proble m is enforcement. Despite recent announcements from the US DOJ about taking down various online scams, it's just a tiny drop in the bucket. One interesting point in the article is that many ISPs are slow to deal with scammers because they can get hit from both sides. They don't want to know what the scammers are doing, because they don't want to be held liable for "aiding and abetting" by knowing about the scams that take place on their systems. At the same time, by shutting down scammers, some are afraid they can be accused of breach of contract and tortious interference with a business relationship. In other words, the incentive is for ISPs to just look the other way until it's absolutely necessary that they do something.
