Security and Risk Online - Online scams cost Christmas shoppers over £10m last year

The festive period is a time for giving gifts, eating mince pies and spending quality time with your loved ones. However, unfortunately, police warn it’s also “prime time” for fraudsters as Christmas shoppers were fleeced of more than £10 million in online scams last year.

As huge numbers of bargain-hunters prepare to log on on Black Friday, officers highlighted the growing trend for criminals to use social media to target potential victims with apparently attractive deals.

One victim lost £86,000 when they tried to purchase a boat from a fraudster on eBay, police said.

Some 12,142 people said they had been bitten by online shopping fraud during the last Christmas period – with 133 saying they had been defrauded on Black Friday and another 115 falling victim on Cyber Monday.

City of London Police, who run the national reporting centre Action Fraud, are launching an awareness campaign aimed at helping shoppers avoid being conned.

Commander Chris Greany, the National Co-ordinator for Economic Crime, said: “Christmas is prime time for fraudsters to take advantage of the British public.

“During the festive season people rush to buy the presents they have been asking for; however, fraudsters see this period of generosity as an opportunity to strike and steal money from unsuspecting victims.

“Our campaign is designed to give individuals up-to-date advice that will keep them one step ahead of the criminals that target UK shoppers from all over the globe. Everyone deserves a crime-free Christmas so make sure it’s the criminals that are left short-changed this festive period.”

Young people are increasingly being approached on social media channels by fraudsters who offer seemingly great Christmas shopping deals, according to the police force.

It said that last year more people than ever reported that they had been initially approached on Instagram, with a 67% increase compared with the year before.

Analysis of Action Fraud reports from last Christmas showed that items such as home electricals, mobile phones and jewellery were the most common items which fraudsters offered to victims.

Separate research published earlier this week found that nearly a third of online shoppers may be tempted to put themselves at risk of fraud during the frenzy to grab a Christmas bargain.

Criminals use scam emails, fake ads on social media or internet searches promising heavy discounts for desirable goods to trick people into visiting fake websites and entering their card details. Once fraudsters harvest this information, they use victims’ details to go on shopping sprees.

So make sure you’re careful when online shopping, to make sure that your Christmas isn’t anything less than happy.

Mercury Capital Advisors - Alan Pardee quoted in Private Funds Management

Competition for capital remains fierce, with potential LPs more rigorous in their due diligence and more cautious than they have been in years. A sterling track record, a stable team and a differentiated strategy are now merely the price of admittance in the hunt for capital.

Snagging LPs and raising funds is more difficult than ever. “We had a market embracing risk in ‘13 and ‘14,” says Alan Pardee of Mercury Capital Advisors. “So if three guys left a big firm and talked about their record in a sector that made sense, those funds were getting raised, but that’s harder today.”

SC Advisors Real Estate Development - DR. PHILLIPS CHARITIES

DEVELOP 60,000 SF HEALTH PAVILION AND 180 UNIT SENIOR HOUSING CAMPUS

Dr. Phillips Charities is one of the largest landholders in Central Florida and also one of its most generous benefactors. Using the revenue from their income-producing properties, DPC has granted over $160 million to charitable initiatives throughout the region.

In 2013, DPC set out to develop a 26 acre in-fill site in the heart of the Dr. Phillips community in a way that would enhance the surrounding community while achieving the return on investment needed to advance their charitable initiatives. They turned to SC Advisors.

SCA launched a comprehensive feasibility study including a site analysis, exhaustive market and trend studies, and pro forma business and development models. What emerged was a vision for a high end senior housing complex and a health pavilion housing multiple medical disciplines, many of them related to senior care.

Once DPC’s leadership approved the plan, SCA proceeded with site planning, use permitting, building design and possible deal structures. We then guided DPC through the selection of senior housing and health care partners and helped negotiate their terms and agreements

Upon successful completion of the pre-development work, SCA was retained to provide Developer’s and Owner’s Representative Services for the design and construction of the 60,000 sf Spring Lake Health Pavilion and 180-unit senior housing campus.

Ground was broken in late 2015 and the project is on its way to a successful completion.

Car Tips - Dishonesty and Car Insurance Policies

If drivers have one thing in common, it is that we all want low car insurance rates. Taking advantage of the discounts car insurance companies offer and maintaining a good driving record could go a long way towards saving on car insurance.

While these are good, honest ways to lower your rates, some customers choose to hide information or lie on their car insurance applications in an attempt to get cheap car insurance.

It may be tempting stretch the truth with your car insurance provider, but it can lead to negative consequences.

How Car Insurance Rates Are Determined

It is important to understand how car insurance rates are determined in order to know how and why people would lie on their applications to get lower rates.

Your car insurance is typically determined using several rating factors that include the following:

            • Your driving record and the driving records of each additional driver you wish to add to the policy.

            • Insurance claims history.

            • Credit history.

            • Your car’s year, make, and model.

            • Primary parking location of the car.

            • Average miles driven per day.

            • Your age and gender.

            • Your marital status.

The above rating factors are examples of the most common car insurance rating factors. Some states restrict insurance companies from using certain factors to determine car insurance rates. These restrictions generally apply to credit history and gender.

Common Lies Told by Applicants

When applying for car insurance, a driver might not tell the truth regarding some of the above rating factors. When an applicant deliberately lies on his application to save money, this is considered “soft fraud.”

Car insurance agents see certain misrepresentations more often than others. Often, applicants intentionally (or unintentionally – e.g., because they forgot) give false information regarding the following:

            • The number of traffic violations or accidents on the driver’s record.

                        o Having tickets, at-fault accidents, or other violations can increase your rates. Some applicants may lower the number of violations they’ve had in order to try to obtain a better quote.

                        o NOTE: Background and driving record inquiries can easily check this information.

            • Where the driver parks.

                        o Parking your car in a garage rather than out on the street can save you money on car insurance

                        o Some applicants will lie about keeping their car in the garage, even if they don’t own a garage.

            • Miles driven.

                        o Driving less means you face fewer risks, which ultimately means cheaper car insurance rates.

                        o Applicants will often lie by giving a number significantly lower than their actual average miles driven per day.

Remember, with the Internet, checking accuracy on the facts you provide is relatively simple. Always assume your information will get verified and give accurate information.

If you can’t remember a piece of information, don’t make up facts. Try to gather all the necessary information before getting a quote.

Effects on Your Policy

Most states have laws regarding when an insurance company can or cannot cancel your policy. Lying on an application is typically considered grounds for cancellation of your policy, but typically only if the information is material, meaning the information can affect the decision about whether to insure you.

Keep in mind that most states require you to have car insurance if you are driving your car on public roads. A cancellation of your policy would cause a lapse of car insurance coverage and you could be in violation of law if you operate your car while it is uninsured.

Dishonesty and Car Insurance Claims

As stated earlier, it isn’t always easy for car insurance companies to know if you are being truthful on your application. They cannot check every detail, such as where you park your car overnight. However, this can change if you need to make a claim on your insurance.

If, for example, you have comprehensive car insurance and you need to make a claim because your car was damaged in a hailstorm, you may find that your insurance company will investigate this claim.

If they find that you park your car out on the street when you stated in your application that you park it in a garage, they can deny that claim. You will responsible for paying all the repair costs.

If your car insurance company finds out you gave false information in your application, and they do not cancel your policy, you might experience a hefty rate increase.

Honesty Really Is the Best Policy

Lying to get a better rate can be tempting, but it does come with consequences you don’t want to face. Car insurance companies also pass any costs they face due to lies on to other customers. So in an attempt to get discounted rates, you actually contribute to the increased rates for everyone.

Taking advantage of car insurance discounts and driving safely is a much better way of saving on your policy.
