August 24, 2006 - As Internet commerce and business opportunities expand, the number of opportunities for rip off artists to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers does, too. For instance, there are dozens of scammers spouting false information on many websites. Consequently, it is hardly an overstatement to suggest that millions of dollars will be wasted on a variety of scams this year.

In response to such egregious and unethical behavior and the resultant claims, a new fraud consumer advocacy program has been launched by the WSI Net Scam - Ripoff Coalition. WSI’s mission is to act as a watchdog by publicly warning about con artists (as investigated by WSI members); giving details about any counterfeit scheme which did not follow through on promises; and providing detailed explanations on any bogus schemes, operations, or franchises as researched by WSI volunteers.

WSI Scam- WSI Rip Off Coalition: Debunking conspiracy theories by using the WSI network

Additionally, the WSI program will debunk conspiracy theories by using their WSI network of volunteers to gather information, effectively separating fakes from legitimate business operations through “buyer beware” alerts. After all, a side effect of those engaged in false advertising is often poor sales, franchise troubles, slowly declining customers, bad word of mouth advertising and publicity and much more for lawful business persons. Through WSI’s tireless efforts, the WSI advocacy program’s volunteers will expose chameleons which have caused any franchise owner troubles, consumer incidents, identity theft or online theft of personal information, consumer woes, supplier issues, businesses fraudulent schemes and more. Additionally, WSI will explain how savvy consumers can stop fraudulent rip off artists from continuing their internet-based pyramid structures by sharing information with WSI.

Using personal testimonies, the WSI advocacy group will provide the public with gripping, true accounts of “dirty” business schemes. From descriptions of how spammers send out misleading emails to their “quarries” to the horrible support that has been experienced by many by those who operate pyramid schemes, the true facts will be gathered by WSI into a masterfile. This WSI con masterfile, housed on the secure WSI website, will be used to educate consumers.

WSI Rip Off WSI Scam Coalition: Educating the public about the latest high pressure sales, fraudulent activities, and swindling committed in cyberspace

By educating the public about the latest high pressure sales, fraudulent activities, and swindling committed in cyberspace, the WSI Rip off consumer advocacy program will serve as an overseer on behalf of the consumers of web products and services. Through fake business prevention education, WSI hopes to stop the victimization of consumers by con artists. WSI will also call much attention to those liars and cheats who are preying on the trusting nature of others through WSI alerts, WSI press releases, and WSI articles.

WSI consumer advocacy advice including WSI rip off “red flags” to look for (such as unbelievably hard sell approaches and generally poor response time) will also be distributed by the WSI consumer advocacy program. For example, questions and essays similar to “Did An Online Organization Violate Your Trust?” and “How Scammers Operate Pyramid Schemes – A Primer from WSI” will be offered through WSI in an effort to start an international dialogue about bad experiences and unhappy customers, bankruptcy stories, unhappy franchisees, unhappy customers, unhappy victims of phishing and identity theft, unhappy business owners and unhappy suppliers and more. Through detailed accounts of commerce-related bad experiences, the WSI advocacy program hopes to stem the tide of dishonesty online.

WSI Scam WSI Rip Off Consumer Advocacy Program: Updated Reports on Fraud, Con Artists and Scams

For unhappy clients who have already been defrauded (and possibly ended up feeling “broke”) by liars (whether by unsuspectingly joining a multi level marketing scam or buying products or services that were never delivered), the WSI consumer advocacy program will be a safe place for them to discover exactly what their rights are (for instance, are they eligible for compensatory damages?) WSI also hopes to help those who have been victimized recover their sense of safety and personal power. Through WSI, they’ll be able to learn from others who have fallen prey to scammers, meaning they’ll finally be able to say, “I fell for their lies,” knowing that the WSI volunteers’ response will be, “They lied to me, too. But with WSI’s news bulletins and information, I took action!”
