Ronald Boulerice, of Russell, is named at the core of the charges. He was president of the now-closed company. The company promised to help inventors patent and market their inventions.

Extractions: Quackwatch Home Page Leo Leal Daboub, Sr., and four members of his family have pled guilty to various charges related to the sale of bogus health-related products and/or income tax evasion. In pleading guilty to four felony counts of mail fraud. Daboub, a California resident, admitted that from 1991 through 1998, he had operated mail-order businesses under the names Zellen Cell Pharmaceuticals, Pharmatec, International Trade, and Intermedica, selling products such as Energy Complex Live Cell Therapy Neutralizer GH , and Zellen Cell Therapy . Although the products were intended for use in the treatment and mitigation of diseases such as impotence, degenerative brain disease, liver disease and obesity, no application for approval of a new drug was ever submitted to the FDA for these products. Daboub solicited sales only in the United States, but had the customers send their checks for the purchase of the product to a post office box in Tijuana, Mexico. Daboub or his employees would then bring the checks to the United States, where they were deposited into a bank account in San Ysidro, California. Daboub admitted that he knew that promotional literature for his products had falsely promised consumers a 100% money back guarantee, which was not honored. He also acknowledged that he knew that the literature had falsely stated that the products were recommended by Dr. Hans Byron, Dr. William Byron, Dr. Leland Thomas and/or Dr. John Christianson. Those doctors, to the extent they exist, were not consulted by the defendant regarding his products before or during the sales of the products, nor did they ever review the products at any time.

Extractions: United States Attorney Michael R. Stiles today announced the filing of an indictment against Sonya Furlow, charging Furlow with 20 counts of mail fraud arising from an extensive adoption fraud scheme, in which Furlow matched prospective adoptive parents with fictitious birth mothers, only to later inform them that the adoptions had failed. Furlow gained approximately $215,000 from this fraud. The indictment charges that between January 1997 and December 1999, Furlow used the Internet to establish contact with prospective adoptive parents and to advertise her services as an "adoption facilitator" who could assist in the adoption process by locating and matching birth mothers who intended to place their children for adoption with prospective adoptive parents. Furlow informed prospective clients that she operated an adoption facilitation service known as Tender Hearts Family Services Adoption Counseling or Tender Hearts Family Services, Inc., from 7701 Lindberg Blvd., Suite 2102, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and 1621 South Lindenwood Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Furlow further represented that she had contact with numerous domestic "birth mothers" who intended to place their children for adoption. In Pennsylvania, individuals were permitted to act as "facilitators" in the adoption process, primarily by locating and matching birth mothers who intended to place their children for adoption with prospective adoptive parents, but facilitators were not licensed and could not finalize an adoption. The termination of parental rights could only be effectuated through an attorney, and an attorney or a licensed agency was required to file the paperwork associated with an interstate adoption.

http://www.thestreet.com/markets/matthewgoldstein/10045450.html

Extractions: Updated from 12:17 p.m. EDT The long arm of the law finally reached out today and grabbed one of Enron's former top executives, as Andrew Fastow, the energy company's former chief financial officer, was charged with several counts of securities fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. A criminal complaint filed against Fastow alleges that the former Enron officer used a series of partnerships he controlled not only to help Enron carry out a deliberate strategy of inflating its profits, but to illegally enrich himself by skimming off profits from these deals. Fastow is the highest-ranking former Enron executive to be charged in the investigation. The Enron scandal, which began unfolding just over a year ago, sparked a tidal wave of concern about corporate fraud and corporate accounting gimmicks. The complaint filed by federal prosecutors, along with a civil complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, makes clear that Enron's strategy of selling ailing assets to the Fastow-controlled entities was intended to help the company "manipulate its balance sheet" and "manufacture sham earnings," according to the prosecutors.

Extractions: Schemes, Scams, Frauds. Search Functions www.crimes-of-persuasion.com Site Directory Relevant Criminal Laws for Fraud in the United States Consumer protection laws are designed to protect all consumers, the gullible as well as the shrewd. The fact that a false statement may be obviously false to those who are trained and experienced does not change its character or take away its power to deceive others less experienced. Our consumer protection laws were enacted for the protection of the people, many who are trusting and naive about the wolves of the business world who come dressed in lambs' clothing. The Department of Justice conducts both criminal and civil litigation in combating telemarketing fraud. United States Attorneys' Offices throughout the country, as well as the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division of the DOJ, have successfully prosecuted many criminal cases against fraudulent telemarketers. The Office of Consumer Litigation of the Civil Division of the Department, which conducts both civil and criminal litigation in consumer-related cases, has also prosecuted telemarketing fraud cases. Under federal law, state Attorneys General have been given broad power by the U.S. Congress to combat telemarketing fraud. For example, a state Attorney General can file lawsuits in federal court and shut down fraudulent telemarketers through national injunctions so as to prevent companies from moving on under a different name after being banned in one state.

An Atlanta-based company calling itself the "United States Environmental Protection Enforcement Agency" has sent notices to numerous restaurants across the country notifying them that "Ark A. Williams, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Enforcement Agency" is collecting an annual registration fee under Section O.C.U.S. 608-82.156 of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act for Kitchen Hoods/Ventilation, Grease Traps, etc. The registration fee being demanded is $189.00 and due by December 15. The notice goes on to say that to disregard the notice will be at the recipient's "peril." "This is a fraud and a scam," said John P. DeVillars, administrator for EPA's New England office. "We're aggressively pursuing the shakedown artist but businesses should know that the citations to the Clean Air act and the Clean Water Act referenced by this company are false. In fact, EPA requires no registration fees under either of these acts."

Extractions: March 19, 2001 PRESS RELEASE Re: U.S. v. Barclay Grayson, CR 01- 115 (BR) Kristine Olson, United States Attorney for Oregon, announced that Barclay Grayson, age31, of Portland, Oregon, today pleaded guilty to mail fraud, a felony, in connection with his participation in a scheme to defraud clients of Capital Consultants, including various union pension plans. An information filed in U.S. District Court alleged that Grayson, and others misrepresented and concealed facts relating to Capital Consultant's investment of client funds in a loan of $160,000,000 to Wilshire Credit Corporation. (The Wilshire Loan) Barclay Grayson was a minority owner of Capital Consultants, LLC, an investment advisor located in Portland, Oregon. He joined the firm in August of 1996 and was appointed president in July, 1999. Capital Consultants provided investment services to clients, including union pension plans (Plans). For its services involving private investments, Capital Consultants received an annual fee ranging from two to three percent of the principal balance invested. During the fall of 1998 and Spring of 1999 WCC's largest client, Wilshire Financial Services Group (WFSO) became insolvent. WFSG negotiated a bankruptcy plan with creditors, including Capital Consultants and WCC. As part of this plan, the Wilshire Loan was not repaid, but rather was converted into an equity interest. The information alleges that this equity interest had substantially less value to Capital Consultants' private equity investors.

Extractions: Thursday, December 5, 2002 A federal judge in Pittsburgh declared a mistrial Wednesday in the arson and mail fraud trial of a Beaver County man accused of torching his failing businesses. Senior U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond dismissed the jurors after they said they were hopelessly deadlocked and could not decide Zev Meir Siegel's fate. The jury voted 8-4 to convict, according to one juror. Diamond gave the defense 10 days to file a motion for acquittal and 10 days after that for the government to respond. W. Penn Hackney, Siegel's public defender, said he would ask for an acquittal, but had no further comment. Siegel, 73, of Ambridge, has denied setting the fires. He did not testify during the trial and declined to comment yesterday.
What You Need To Know About Mail Fraud
What you need to know about mail fraud By Barry Vosco When the mail is used tointentionally misrepresent a product or service it constitutes mail fraud.
http://www.howtoadvice.com/MailFraud

Extractions: When the mail is used to intentionally misrepresent a product or service it constitutes Mail Fraud. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is charged with investigating violations of the law, usually in response to consumer complaints. The best way to protect yourself from mail fraud is to recognize that it is a fraud and not become involved. This is not easy to do because of the attractive wording in the deceptive ads. Anything that sounds too good to believe is suspect. Medical formula's and gadgets that make "insane" promises are probably "insane" and you should stay away from them. Especially be cautious regarding some of the thousands of different weight loss products and overnight cures. Never purchase land through a mailorder ad unless you or your personal representative has seen the land, it is as represented, and the value is there. If the salesperson has shown you the property report you can cancel your purchase agreement within seven days. If no report was shown to you before signing an agreement you have the right to cancel out within two years.
