We talk and admire of miracle advancement of advanced world – with specially advanced internet technology with science and advanced sociology or anthropology – but are unable to think of ugly development behind.
The more we developed, the more we became luxurious and comfortable and faced Fraud and fraudulent activities and dishonesty as cons of advancement of society in these days of modernization.
On the other side, around the world we see identity thieves targeted to register unauthorized bank account/unauthorized online bank account in other person´s name and to be operated by thieves or fraud secretly or unknowingly to the real person.
Identity theft is going on one in every three minutes as a research study showed. The identity thieves would misuse other´s identity to grasp the opportunities for fraudulent activities by the thieves who seem far more cleaver than the government.
How the identity is stolen? It has been a big question and mystery to each responsive government of the world – responsible to the people and country. Mostly, the people experience that the banks or financial institutions sending information by emails such as a lot of money withdrawn from your name from various banks, confirm and reconfirm your identity, your name as kin for beneficiary for deposit money under custody. Tax refund filled a fraudulent return in other´s name and pocketed the money. These are all very upsetting cases happening in the world of internet.
Victims generally discover the problem after getting of notice from the concerned organizations. It is very difficult to control over the identity theft criminals in today´s modern digital society.
On the other part, lottery emails are also equally dangerous and doubtful to fraudulent act. When we open emails, lottery information is wonderfully received from time to time. The general people do not understand what reality is.
The various lottery emails from U.K., Nigeria, Italy etc.are generally received to the emails stating lucky email number received prize as million of dollars/pounds among the 4000 emails or more emails accounts. You are congratulated for receiving the said amount within seven or fifteen days as early as possible. Contact and claim the fiduciary agent for your winning fund money delivery and fill and send your personal information like name, address, telephone number, age, sex, marital status, bank account number, nationality and so on.
Alternatively, the lottery office generally states that the winning fund can be transferred within 24 hours against the bank service charges. For money security, the lottery office states and asks identity/passport scanned copy along with COT code/shipment fees.
On the belief, the people would send money and personal information as the Lottery office asked. The Lottery Office is so cleaver that it asks money after money by showing different causes.Ultimately,the said winning email accounts would get nothing more than own loss of money, personal identity and energy.
This is a story of the present internet fraud happening as the professional business of some persons in this advanced world. In U.K. alone it is estimated that more than 60 Lottery offices are there. It is very difficult to know which is genuine or fraud.
Unlikely, the most dangerous to the general people is online banking acoounting system which is opened or registered by the banks or financial institutions without having presence of the real person authorized and identity verified. Today, people are claiming that internet fraudulent activities have been common problems to all.
In actual practice, the online bank account of unknown persons are being registered or opened by identity thieves who are badly handling the account by internet online bank. The online banking account has to be urgently rejected or stopped at this present situation until the identity theft is easily functioned at the banks or financial institutions. The stolen identity such as passport, I.D, card, driver license must not be functioned and accepted by the banks or financial institutions. The verification of identity in person has to be applied.
For example, identity theft at Harvard this year showed the serious problems. In January 10,000 graduates - school students/applicants were victimed by stealing social security numbers, emails and phone numbers. Hacker accessed Harvard computer server, but not successful.
Similarly, victims are complaining to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Trade Commission on account of stealing identity. The Federal Trade Commission received 20,782 complaints on tax-related identity issues in 2007.Identity thieves who steal not merely money but steal personal profiles and life philosophies too.
Who and how brought the unauthorized identity? It is the question mark for the responsible and conscious authorities of the banks or governments of the world.
A study conducted by National Cyber Security Alliance exhibits that more than 70 percent of social networking site users are being misused personal information/identities. The members of the social organization are 30 to 40 million, who are facing the risk for identity theft which is being today´s digital epidemic disease transmitted to home to home of the people of the world.
Downloading any files from social sites is danger for viruses and spy ware. Posting any personal identity information has been very dangerous to each individual when job seekers are posting their identity, C.V., resume and many more information as the employers or companies demand.
Identity abuse such as passport, I.D.card, driver license etc. of individuals is our high anxiety in this modern society. Fraud alert through the credit bureaus -- Equfax, Trans Union and Experian -- can be done to some extent, but it is not sufficient for controlling and monitoring mechanism.
Hence, we must be prepared for eliminating this identity theft and fraudulent activities in the society at time. No layman or general people should be victimed by the causes of identity theft and fraudulent lottery.
Controlling over new credit account openings, bank account/online bank account registration must not be valued or approved by the banks and financial institutions without presenting the real account openers in person with distinct identity and identification verified.
Particularly, the government of U.S. and government of U.K. ought to fully and seriously control over the global issue of identity theft and fraudulent lottery activities for the welfare of the mankind.
Today, the presidential race for 2008 election is going on fastly. But the front political leaders -- Hillary R.Clinton, Barack Obama and John Mc Cain -- must come forward with a solid Control Plan and Strategy on Identity Theft and Fraudulent Lottery.
Now, we should think and create of a clear and honest society where general and innocent people must not be victimized and suffered from the causes of identity theft and fraudulent lottery. Spreading internet pollution at global home urgently be controlled at the fullest extent.
