Miscellaneous Fraud

There are many types of fraud that don’t fall into a specific category, just a few of which are outlined below. For more information and to file a complaint, review the table below.

Work at Home
This work-at-home is the perfect job for you because you can stay at home with the children and earn income. The company promises employment, training and materials. Your cost is $500, your entire savings. Days and months go by, and the company has not furnished anything that was agreed. You requested a refund, and the check was issued. However, the check comes back as “insufficient funds”.

Sweepstakes & Contests

Every day, thousands of Americans receive sweepstakes offers, but not all of them are legitimate.

Mail Order

There are various types of mail fraud, including chain letters, pen pal clubs, medicines by mail, real estate swindles, and unsolicited C.O.D. merchandise.

Travel Agency Fraud

Anyone can hang a sign in front of their door and sell travel products. If you have access to a fax machine, telephone or email account, you can send out solicitations. Following the Federal Trade Commission’s travel tips can help.

Food & Drug Fraud
You don't have to look far to find a health product that's totally bogus--or a consumer who's totally unsuspecting. Promotions for fraudulent products show up daily in newspaper and magazine ads and TV "infomercials." They accompany products sold in stores, on the Internet, and through mail-order catalogs. They're passed along by word-of-mouth.
