Peruvian Flake Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Organized Fraud A fraud ring is an organization which performs criminal activities with the intention to defraud or take advantage of other people. Actions can range from creating fake insurance claims, stealing a private identity, or even counterfeiting checks and currency. Forgery is also committed. Some rings are devoted to committing fraud against e-commerce websites. Others are devoted to defrauding charities, businesses or government agencies. But most are devoted to committing specific types of fraud. These organizations can consist of 10 criminals or 10,000. With the rise of the Internet, online fraud is rampant. Fraud rings can either convene in-person, over the Internet or both. In the case of online fraud networks, prosecutions and restitution are difficult as anonymous criminals will be spread across the globe. The American consumer losses from fraud over the last quarter century have been catastrophic. Millions of consumers are filling out online forms that require them to submit personal information, including credit card numbers, SSIDs, street addresses and more. Consequently, identity theft is the most popular type of Internet fraud. U.S. authorities have publicly stated that fraud is prevalent in tourist-rich areas of the country such as the Pacific, Northeast and Southeast regions. Tourists are taken advantage of, scammed and rendered broke by cunning criminals in major cities such as Los Santos. Many blue collar criminals have transitioned into fraud and counterfeiting over the past decade. This comes after harsher criminal penalties for drug dealing and gun running were implemented in San Andreas. Federal authorities estimate that fraud can cost the tourism industry tens of thousands of dollars per year, if not even more.West Vinewood Fraud Ring The street-dubbed West Vinewood Fraud Ring originated in the late 2010s, started by career criminals from around Vinewood and its suburbs. The criminal group started online somewhere around 2017 before meeting in-person the following year. Fraudsters in the group earn money through printing counterfeit cash, running e-mail scams and through identity theft. These activities have been ongoing for 5 years. Activity has intensified since the start of the 2020 global financial crisis, as fraudsters struggle to survive in the worsening economy. At least four homicides have been loosely connected to the WVFR since 2019. Los Santos police suspect that these individuals, including 19 year old Nolan Bucciarelli, were shot dead over monetary disputes. No arrests or criminal charges have been laid in relation to the homicides. Recently, criminals from other struggling and disbanded groups have joined the West Vinewood Fraud Ring. Groups represented include the Money Keeps Stacking clique (West Vinewood) and Eurasian Mafia organizations. Some of these criminals are opportunistic and transient, meaning they'll leave after achieving their short-term goals. The fraud ring has online contacts from around the world, which are utilized to launder U.S. money through foreign economic markets. Edited June 2, 2022 by Peruvian Flake 14 1 1 Link to comment
