Official launch of Scam Stop!

We are very excited and proud to be officially launching the Scam Stop network today.

Scam Stop is is dedicated to STOPPING the scams, schemes, bogus job offers, sales frauds, spam and general abuse that makes our online lives hazardous, stressful and unpleasant.

Scam Stop functions on participation, on sharing information; by warning others of scams you have come across, by freely sharing information we can all be better protected.

We have been very busy putting the services and sites in place to be able to fulfil our vision of assisting our members in STOPPING the scams, schemes, bogus job offers, sales frauds, spam and general abuse that plague us every day both online and in the “real” world.

We now have our own blog, Scam Stop, where we will post information, insights and advice as it comes to hand.

The blog will provide information and insights from experts on all scam or fraud situations currently doing the rounds. We suggest you visit the blog frequently, subscribe to our RSS feed or subscribe by e mail; the links are on the blog.

Scam Stop offers its members a confidential advice and resolution service should they ever fall victim to a scam or fraud. This service is available from the Scam Stop web site.

Scam Stop has a voluntary panel of experts who are prepared to provide assistance in their area of expertise. They are:

John Dierckx, of the ARCIS Fraud Discovery and Exposure Centre, who is an internationally recognised expert on all matters relating to fraud, Insurance fraud, computer fraud and the resolution of fraud situations.

Patrick Dacre, of Computer Helpers Without Borders, and a member of the ICAN Anti Spam Task Force since 1995 is our computer safety expert and will advise members on any computer safety related issues.

Deborah Berchem, of DLB and Associates, who is a Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist and an expert on all matters relating to identity theft.

This group can only grow and flourish through the active participation of all members so we would request that you visit us often make us part of your online life and invite your friends and family, remember together we can do more!

We are committed to adding value to our members by assisting them to navigate the hazards of the online experience and to providing valuable assistance and advice should it ever be required.
