How To Avoid Romance Scams EBOOK (122 pages)

$12.99

The highly publicized “Tinder Swindler” is about one type of romance scam that brought a lot of attention to these life-changing and horrendous acts of fraud. This is a condensed version of my book, “How To Avoid Romance Scams: Exposing the Thieves’ Secret Weapons and Tactics ”. It reveals numerous versions of this crime and then digs deeper, decoding what causes some people to get caught in these romantic and dating deceptions and sometimes even leads them to reoccur. It explores the real reasons behind why people give great sums of money to total strangers, bleeding their bank accounts and causing them mental anguish on top of financial ruin.

Simply revealing that many people are defrauded, does nothing to help them or anybody else. I found it important to investigate why so many are victimized and to expose the thieves’ modes of operation, tactics and weapons. Through reading this book, you will learn why and how so many romance scam attempts prove successful. Delving deep into the minds of predators and victims, it uncovers motives and vulnerabilities. You can access real conversations with likely impostors, including some I experienced personally. Readers are given essential red-flag warnings, which are commonly overlooked or ignored by those who end up both emotionally and financially broken. The book also offers other solutions to this growing problem.

            Falling victim and losing money to a romance scam is not the only harmful effect of these crimes. The attempt, alone, can be unsettling to those targeted. Although I cut off contact quickly with those questionable matches made on dating sites and didn’t send them any money, it was, still, terribly upsetting to receive these strangers’ manipulative messages and be a chosen target of their attempts to defraud. Why? I was a single woman, searching for a compatible partner, only to find that many who contacted me were not on the dating site seeking love or companionship.

I am very proud of “How To Avoid Romance Scams” because it provides a more complete picture of the problem than what many are aware of. My desire is to try to alleviate the continued devastating effects of these fraudulent acts and help stop the growing number of bankrupt hearts and empty bank accounts. This information is shared to help protect those looking for love from being exploited with evil intent.
This much-needed information will show how to not be a victim and move from romantic insecurity to preserve your financial security.

BETRAYED: Investors Tell All – The Story of the Wextrust Ponzi Scheme

$23.95

Investors Tell the Truth... Inside a Ponzi Scheme
Consumer fraud prevention advocate Vivian Orgel, was one of the 1,400 investors affected by the WexTrust Ponzi scheme, but who influenced an additional payout of over $5 million, along with a few other investors. Personal financial loss compelled her to direct her advocacy efforts to draw public attention to the ongoing mishandling of the WexTrust Ponzi scheme. Fueled by financial loss, she couldn’t accept the ongoing mishandling of the case. The investors share their experience within the Ponzi and how the SEC, IRS and the Receiver (appointed to manage the case), handled their investment money and the statute of limitations. Discover lots of surprises, including that The WexTrust judge also presided over the Bernie Madoff case. (711 pages)
See some of what you'll learn in this book.
On August 28, 2008, the SEC seized the WexTrust Investment Company and indicted its principals. That was the beginning of the nightmare for 1,400 WexTrust investors. Vivian says, "The real injustice happened when the courts took over. I know, because I am one of the WexTrust victims who were in the process of investing more. I couldn’t accept the way we were treated. So I fought, with a few of the victims, to improve our situation, getting over five million dollars back from holdbacks. But, it was still not enough to save us all from food stamps and losing our homes."
