A July 30 New York Times article stated, “Missiles hit two Red Cross ambulances last weekend, wounding six people and punching a circle in the center of the cross on one’s roof.” Photos of the damaged roof appeared widely — the picture on the left appeared the Australian newspaper The Age, and the picture on the right came from the This Is War blog, but they don’t say what their source was, or why there is a white background under the hole. As was concisely stated by the Virginian blog, “NBC shows a picture of an ambulance with a hole in its roof as “proof” that Israel is attacking ambulances. The problem is that the hole, which is right in the middle of the Red Cross on the roof, could not possibly be the result of a hit by any weapon. A shell or missile that size hitting the ambulance would not leave the rest of the vehicle intact. All that you would see would be twisted wreckage and a debris field. A more reasonable explanation for the hole is the removal of the emergency light or siren which also explains why the hole is centered precisely on the cross.” This photo, found on the Lebanese Red Cross site itself, shows (in the lower right) how some of their ambulances do indeed have sirens or lights in the exact center of the cross.

One man who was working for the United Sioux Tribes faces forgery charges for submitting phony voter registration cards, and a contractor working for the Democratic coordinated campaign is also under investigation for alleged discrepancies in voting documents she submitted. As we have shown, an imprecisely worded fundraising appeal for a planned Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) voter registration project in Minnesota was falsely alleged to be a plan to commit voter fraud by bringing in out-of-state residents to vote for Senator Paul Wellstone, D-Minn. Nonetheless, Republican US Senate candidate John Thune has issued a cheap shot against his opponent, Senator Tim Johnson, D-S.D. As the November election draws near, Republican candidates, operatives and conservative pundits are spinning isolated incidents of alleged voter fraud into charges of massive election-stealing conspiracies.

But the only “national effort” that’s clear right now is the attempt by conservatives to manufacture a vast Democratic voting fraud conspiracy without evidence that one exists. The story gained national attention after a New York Times article claimed 38 people had watched the attack and did nothing.

In most fraud cases, the defendant is not likely to testify that their intent was fraudulent. A court can use a variety of means to prove that the person acted with fraudulent intent. If the creditor made an error or mistake in any of their communications, it could be used as a defense in court. While these circumstances may not necessarily prove fraudulent transfer by themselves, they can definitely imply intent to a sufficient enough degree to be damaging for the debtor’s defense. Another commonly used defense in response to fraudulent transfer is that of mistake. If a transfer is deemed to be fraudulent, the transfer itself will be considered voidable. He’s been all over the map as well on whether we will have a second wave (yes, no, maybe). He didn’t know whether it could be spread asymptomatically (yes, no, maybe), or whether wearing masks could help contain it (yes, no, maybe), or whether it was possible to be re-infected (yes, no, maybe). If you are going through the bankruptcy process and are being accused of a fraudulent transfer, you should speak with a skilled and knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer as soon as possible. There are hundreds of variations on the scam but they all have the goal of fooling you into giving away as much money as possible — up to and including your bank account information. This was the kind of pandemic that comes along once a century or so, caused by an unknown virus for which there was no cure.

Add to this the fact that our white-coated savior knew almost nothing about the China Virus itself. It turns out that the model, authored by the recently disgraced Professor Neil Ferguson, was garbage, a fact that our America’s most famous virologist only discovered at the same time the rest of us did. When in doubt, take some time to verify that you’re dealing with a legitimate business. When small business owners and country folk break quarantine, he hyperventilates over their lack of social responsibility and predicts epidemiological disaster. The governors of Red states like Georgia, who wanted to allow their people to go back to work, were accused by the hate-filled media of conducting an “experiment in human sacrifice.” If they insisted upon allowing their people to break quarantine, they were told, they would jeopardize the public health of the entire nation. This distinction was ignored by the Left and its media attack dogs, who instantly revert to name-calling when any suspected “deplorables” show up on the scene. Here’s the short answer: a dependent is anyone who lives with you – other than your spouse – for whom you provide more than half of their financial support. For many Americans, it was nothing short of an open-ended sentence of house arrest. Stopping the spread of this disease would not be easy, he said, but nothing else mattered.

Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert, had assured us that it was either his way or the graveyard. Following Fauci, they abused their authority to impose on Americans unheard of restrictions on their liberty. These tremendous infringements on our liberty occurred for one reason and one reason only: Our white-coated scientific savior, Dr. Anthony Fauci, had solemnly informed us that they were absolutely necessary. These crowds of normal Americans, who simply wanted to get on with their lives, were attacked as “racists” and “fascists.” Their protests had nothing whatsoever to do with race or fascism, of course, and everything to do with the way they were being deprived of their liberty. Instead of haranguing this second wave of demonstrators – the way he had, for example, harangued the first – about the danger that their activities posed to themselves and others, he simply disappeared from the radar. And for ten long days, as tens of thousands of demonstrators continued to march through the streets of American cities, he remained hidden from public view. For ten or more years he eluded government authorities while he printed and spent fake $1 bills in his New York neighborhood. We may share information if a government agency or investigatory body requests it. That’s why banks may also offer mobile alerts that warn you about irregular activity.

68 billion annually. Why is there so much fraud and abuse with insurance claims and why has this problem gone on so long? There can only be one explanation for the difference. At first, he advised us that we may have to “hunker down” in this way for “several months.” But by early April, he was saying that the lockdown would have to continue until there are no “new cases” of coronavirus. The scammers may pretend to be from a well-known tech company, such as Microsoft. While some will then try to extract personal or bank account information, other scammers have different tactics. While the 3.1-liter four-speed manual was mechanically a success, the unexpectedly high price of manufacturing derailed BMW’s plans for the model. Historically, competitive market economies are a relatively new economic system, and while very productive, they are not self-sustaining, are unstable and require significant state support and regulation to function properly. Colombia using the black market. City after city saw huge crowds of protesters flowing down city streets practically touching one another, or should I say “infecting” one another. Why these particular professions — as opposed to, say chimney sweep, alligator trainer or sidewalk sign holder — have been identified as particularly unsuitable for young kids is not clear.

By staying informed about current scam tactics and following safe reporting procedures, you can stay one step ahead of cybercriminals and help create a safer digital environment for everyone. If you take small, simple steps, you can create a healthier internal control system and help discourage employee fraud at your company. Representatives of certain unsecured creditors of the Chapter 11 debtor Tribune Company appealed the district court’s grant of a motion to dismiss their state law, constructive fraudulent conveyance claims brought against Tribune’s former shareholders. But, under the law, manufacturers weren’t doing anything wrong — it was perfectly legal. The engineer simply calls up the full performance on a computer screen and, using a mouse, digitally “nudges” wrong notes into the right key. The greenhouse gas rating, in the bottom right corner, shows that the car produces ZERO greenhouse gasses (with a note that it applies to tailpipe emissions only). One might argue the answer is zero in the Pacific Northwest where most power is hydro-electric, but even in heavy hydro/nuclear areas, the incremental marginal demand is typically picked up by natural gas turbines. I understand that this metric is difficult to calculate, because it depends on where and even what time of day the car is charged, but the EPA in all this complexity chose to use the one number – zero – that is least likely to be the correct answer. If you use our exclusive link, you can also get 74% off your subscription. The 30.3% electric production and distribution factor was increased to a final adjustment factor of 36.5%. This means that the conversion factor discussed above of 33.7 gallons/KwH must be multiplied by 36.5% to get a true apples to apples MPGe figure. When you place an extended fraud alert on your credit report, you can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the three credit bureaus twice within one year from when you place the alert, which means you could review your credit report six times in a year.

And while it’s important to be wary of skimming, keep in mind that banks like Bank of America will reimburse customers who find their accounts wiped out by thieves wielding skimmers and cloned debit cards. While I suppose this is technically true, it is wildly misleading. Financial loss and identity theft could result from the transfer of money or personal information to those issuing such fraudulent correspondence. Between data breaches of personal information, phishing, malware, hackers, and scammers, protecting yourself from identity theft requires caution and vigilance. These scams, which may seek to obtain money and/or in many cases personal details from the recipients of such correspondence, are fraudulent. Food fraud may seem like a problem from the days of Upton Sinclair or one that belongs mainly overseas, but fake or mislabled food is being sold right here in the U.S. Although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world. Most witnesses also don’t have a personal investment in the outcome of the situation and may provide a unique and balanced perspective. Victims of such scams may also report them to their local law enforcement authorities for appropriate action. We’ll cover tax scams in a bit more detail later, but these are often carried out over the phone or through a combination of phone calls and emails.

The United Nations does not approve military vacations or pensions, or release packages in exchange for a fee. The United Nations has been made aware of various correspondences, being circulated via e-mail, from Internet web sites, text messages and via regular mail or facsimile, falsely stating that they are issued by, or in association with the United Nations and/or its officials. Some services go so far as to mask the sender’s source IP address (Gmail being a common choice), making the scammer’s country of origin more difficult to trace. And in the Midwest, the Leaf will basically be coal powered, and studies have shown it to create potentially more CO2 in these areas than a car burning gasoline. Having electricity rather than gasoline in the tank is the equivalent of starting with the refrigerator at the top rather than the bottom of the stairs. An apples to apples comparison, then, would compare the traditional car’s MPG with the Leaf’s miles per gallon of gasoline (or gasoline equivalent) that would have to be burned to generate the electricity it uses. In almost every case, the production of the electricity to charge the car will create incremental greenhouse gasses. The United Nations does not charge a fee at any stage of its procurement process (supplier registration, bids submission) or other fee.

Be wary of unsolicited emails, if anything seems out of place investigate it and if something looks too good to be true it most probably is a scam. Known as “phishing,” this type of scam occurs when you receive an unsolicited email that looks as if it’s from your bank – or, in this case, from your crypto exchange or wallet provider. Counterfeit Invoice Ploy: You get an email with an invoice claiming you owe money for a product or service you never ordered. The financial ombudsman says when it considers whether a scam transaction was authorised, it considers whether the victim knew that money was going to leave their account. Sometimes, rather than speaking with you directly, scammers will leave an automated voice message directing you to call a specific number for “Apple support.” If you call the number, everything sounds legitimate, including updates telling you the anticipated hold time. You believed you were speaking with your bank and didn’t realise what you told them gave them access to your account. After retreating to the house of a friend who happened to live nearby, she began the process of requesting a refund for the trip “pretty much right away”-one she believed her profession undoubtedly gave her a huge leg up on obtaining. Of course, this attracts all flavors of scammers who are looking to make a pretty penny at the expense of the unsuspecting users. The platform also added an SOS button, which allows users to lock their own account should they believe it to be compromised.

Remote access scams: Similar to the above, the fraudster claims your account has been compromised and informs you that you’ll need to download software onto your device so that they can access the account. There are multiple scenarios at play where fraudsters can also impersonate Amazon itself, claim to be someone from the management of the victim’s employer, you name it. Alternatively, the fraudsters may imply that you are in trouble due to copyright infringement and that you must set the record straight, by clicking on a link and filling out a form. Author names and affiliations must be omitted. Requests for money based on personal hardship-for example, for a sick relative or a failed business. In this article, we’ll look at some of the most common ways scammers try to dupe Facebook users out of both their personal data and money. Social media companies try to moderate their platforms and keep them as clean as possible; however, it remains difficult to crack down on fraudsters who are determined to trick victims out of both sensitive data and their money. I urge everyone to be on their guard for possible COVID-19 scams and to look out for vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours who may become a target for fraudsters.

Fraudsters also look to trick victims via premium-rate number scams. And they don’t tend to stick to emails; sometimes fraudsters will try to impersonate Instagram support and contact you through direct messages as well. Don’t look at just one review website – make sure you check several. It’s highly improbable that you’ll find anything directly on their site since they will be moderating it, but victims of scams will quickly share their experiences on relevant review websites and online forums. Sometimes scammers will resort to more “analog” means to try and hoodwink their victims – fake support calls. Victims may receive unsolicited email messages or phone calls about a pressing issue involving their social security numbers or benefits and to resolve it they’ll have to pay a penalty using gift cards. What is a phone scam? Online scam prevention tip: Never reply to spam texts from unknown numbers or emails from unknown addresses. Instead, call your network provider’s support helpline or bank and ask them if the claims made are true and supply them with the numbers you have been provided with. The global nature of these scams, combined with the relatively low value of each individual con, means that they have largely escaped the scrutiny of law enforcement.

However, not all of them can be taken at face value and some of them can turn out to be outright scams. However, if a company is asking you for this information early (like asking for your social security number on a job application, or wanting your banking information before they can offer you the job), the job is likely a scam. You’ll usually be asked for your personal or financial information to receive the prize or money. Never share personal information with anyone who contacts you. Scammers impersonating the IRS or tax entities trick individuals into believing they owe money or are entitled to large refunds, aiming to extract funds or steal personal information. Scammers guarantee you’ll get your money back if they can’t get you a lower rate. They might guarantee that you’ll make money (those guarantees are false); promise that you’ll double your money quickly (again, that’s always a fake promise); or say you’ll get free money in dollars or cryptocurrency (free money? Nope, not ever). In this article, we look at an overview of the most common scams that you might encounter while you’re perusing your feed and connecting with other users through direct messages. We’ve looked at some of the most common eBay scams.

Creating scam websites is one of the most common methods used by cybercriminals to lure unwary users. One of the best ways of protecting yourself from fraudulent demands for money is to have a good grasp of the law-for example you should never be asked to pay more than a month’s rent as a security deposit. Thus, the best explanation probably remains the strong decrease in new marriages in 2020 and 2021 (-10% to -50% per country, including -25% in Sweden), combined with additional aspects such as the rate of extramarital births (10% in Greece to 60% in France) and the rate of second and third children per marriage. Thus, most of the adverse events now visible in real-world data were probably already visible during the trials in 2020 but were ignored or even suppressed by manufacturers or regulators. Additional data shows that this increase really only affected people up to about 40 years of age. Note that Swedish data shows no increase in myocarditis among young females and among older adults (over 40), nor does it show an increase in mortality, not even in young males (although some sudden cardiac deaths may have occurred). These adverse events consisted mostly of so-called cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (SVT) in young people, especially in young females. Figure: Hospitalizations due to sinus venous thrombosis in Germany, 2019-2022 (Twitter). Figure: German adolescents hospitalized with myocarditis, 2019-2021 (Twitter). In February 2023, major German newspaper Die Welt (The World) was perhaps the first old-school newspaper to have covered the serious irregularities that occurred during the original Pfizer covid vaccine trials: “Covid vaccines: The many irregularities of the Pfizer trial”. This is why the entertainers, singers, actors, newsmedia, ministers and other top name celebrities, which support and promote the agendas of the New World Order are all millionaires! ​Conte nt　h​as been c re᠎ated  with GSA Conten​t Ge nera᠎to​r DEMO !

Most people who financially support terrorist organizations do not simply write a personal check and hand it over to a member of the terrorist group. The phone number appears to be a Voice over IP (VOIP) number. One British analysis claimed to have found a 25% increase in stroke-related hospitalizations in England following the mass vaccination campaign in early 2021. The data appears to have been stitched together from different sources and is not readily reproducible. It appears your submission was successful. Even though the server responded OK, it is possible the submission was not processed. Thus, once again, we see a protective effect of vaccination in senior citizens (by reducing severe cases of covid and covid complications), but a substantial increase in severe adverse events in young people, who didn’t even need covid vaccination anyway. For young and healthy people, the overall impact of covid vaccination has always been negative. There is clear evidence mRNA vaccines impact the menstrual cycle, but there is no evidence mRNA vaccines impact sperm quality. There is no evidence of a substantial increase in late-term stillbirths (0.5% of all pregnancies); if anything, mRNA vaccines might have impacted conception or early miscarriages (20% of all pregnancies and sometimes unnoticed). There is also clear evidence a covid infection increases the risk of miscarriage, but a “covid-only” explanation is contradicted by high-covid countries such as the US and the southern European countries that saw no unusual decline in births in 2022 (see chart below). Countries that had significant levels of covid in 2020 saw an increase in stroke-related hospitalizations and deaths, especially among males, but a stabilization or decrease following vaccination in 2021 (e.g. in the United States and in Scotland). The “mRNA infertility” explanation is contradicted by high-vaccination countries that saw no unusual decline in fertility, such as Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Chile (see chart below).

Back when he still practiced, my father occasionally saw this kind of thing firsthand. Other countries saw stable rates of stroke-related hospitalizations and deaths in both 2020 and 2021 (e.g. Germany and Switzerland as well as Austria and Canada). Many other countries either never approved the vaccine (e.g. Switzerland) or restricted its use in March 2021 due to cerebrovascular adverse events. A Swedish researcher calculated that for male adolescents, the risk of hospitalization due to vaccine-induced myocarditis was about 1 in 2000, while the overall risk (including outpatients) was almost 1 in 1000 (a figure estimated by SPR already back in 2021). This figure still doesn’t include subclinical cases without a diagnosis. In older people, myocarditis was linked to covid infection, not to vaccination. Non-covid mortality was also lower in vaccinated people, which is likely due to a combination of the “healthy user effect” and protection against severe covid (see chart below). The newspaper also mentioned two participants whose deaths shortly after vaccination (due to a stroke and a cardiac arrest, respectively) were recorded as “unrelated”. The Buenos Aires site managed 6,000 of the 40,000 Pfizer phase III vaccine trial participants. In particular, the newspaper covered the important case of then 35-year-old Augusto Roux, who suffered a serious case of vaccine myocarditis that was written off as a supposed covid case and “anxiety” by the principal investigator at the infamous Buenos Aires military hospital.

Contents: All-cause mortality / Myocarditis / Strokes / Births / Vaccine trial fraud / WHO treaty / Covid: a biodefense excercise? Finally, the newspaper noted that Pfizer excluded five times more people from the vaccine group than from the control group of the supposedly “double-blinded” trial. If you suspect you’re being led astray, ask for them to take the more direct route, then get a receipt and also take a picture of the registration number or the driver’s ID card so you can follow up with local authorities or your credit card company later if need be. Taxpayers need to protect themselves against social media scams, which frequently use events like COVID-19 to try tricking people.
