complainant from Troy met a female via the Internet. It appears they were conversing by
phone, as well. She claimed she
was in London from the U.S. She
claimed she was owed money from a company in California and needed assistance
getting cash for the money orders she was sent by the company in
question. It appears she
indicated she was unable to do so herself due to being out of the country,
and her friend back in California who lent her money before the trip was now
in dire straights for cash.
He was to receive the money orders from the company in question,
deposit them into his bank account, and wire $1000.00 in cash to her friend
in California. He was then to wire the balance to her in London so she could
pay for expenses related to her trip, including flight tickets back to the
U.S. Complainant deposited the
money orders, (four at $840.00 each) and initiated the wire transfers. However, he received word from his
bank that the money orders were counterfeit. He was able to stop the wire transactions in time such
that he did not sustain any losses. Complainant reported

car. When she realized it was
lost and called her bank, she was advised the card had already been used to

removed to make payments on several credit accounts complainant is unfamiliar

deposited into her account, she re-contacted the business. They asked for another
$1500.00, which she did not send.

contacted Better Business Bureau who advised they have 36 other similar
complaints against the same company to date. U.S. Postal Inspectors are conducting on-going
investigation into this business/frauds. Domestics/Family Troubles: Troy

Alcohol / Drugs Be responsible, if you drink, DO NOT DRIVE! If you serve alcohol, make
sure that your guests make it home safely. Don’t serve alcohol to
under-aged children We all must share
the roads, don’t risk the lives of others or yourself. It is not a good idea to mix Alcohol
with other activities like boating or swimming. If you drink, do it in moderation and don’t drive or put
yourself and other at risk. ·
DO NOT use
illegal drugs ·
DO NOT drive
and endanger the lives of everyone if you have consumed alcohol or drugs. · If you are under 21 years of age, IT IS ILLEGAL to consume or possess alcohol. If
you have any information on illegal drug activity call our tip line at
248-524-0777. Vandalism Prevention
The best way to protect yourself from this crime, or from being held
financially responsible for the acts of your kids, is to know where your
children are, what they are doing, and whom their friends are. Kids are very tech-savvy, and use the
latest means to communicate. We
have had numerous cases where middle and high-school aged kids have made
clandestine plans using their home computer and instant-messaging programs
(AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.) to communicate with their friends, unbeknownst to
their parents (no phones ringing in the middle of the night.) They sneak out of the house and meet
up to go and commit all sorts of crimes. This is not only illegal, but it is very dangerous. ·
Talk with your kids and encourage
them to tell you about any problems with other kids. ·
Monitor your child’s instant
messages. ·
Don’t put computers with Internet
access in their bedrooms. ·
Lock the doors to the house and set
alarms when you go to bed. ·
Make a habit of checking on the
kids, no matter what age, in the middle of the night, just to make sure they
are where they are supposed to be (especially when hosting sleepovers.) Let them know that you are checking. ·
Check your vehicles for new damage or
signs of being involved in vandalism - Mud on tires or wheel-wells, baseball
bats with gouges or glass in them, egg cartons, knives or other sharp objects
that are out of place in a car, cans of spray paint or shaving cream (yes
shaving cream and eggs damage paint.) If you
suspect that your kids have been out vandalizing property, or committing any
other crimes, you can contact the Police Department Juvenile Unit, or Troy
Youth Assistance for advice. Juvenile Unit – 248-524-3451 Youth
Assistance - 248-823-5095 General If you witness a crime: Ø
get
involved Ø
call the
police It is
easier to catch a criminal if we are called right away, while they are still
in the area. Larcenies from Autos / Car Theft Things that can
be done to combat auto theft and larcenies from autos include: Ø
Installing a car alarm. Ø
Using
steering-wheel locking applications like the club etc. Ø
Applications
of a hidden kill switch to the ignition system. Ø
Park in a well
lit well traveled area if possible. Ø
Always
maintain security of vehicle keys. Ø
Do
not leave anything of value in your vehicle in plain view. Ø
Always lock
your vehicle doors. Ø
Never leave
a vehicle unattended while running. Ø
There is a
trend of things being stolen from vehicles in the parking lots of fitness
centers and fun centers. While going to these places, be extra careful to
remove all items of value and secure your vehicle. |
