	WSI Scam Rip Off Coalition Launches Consumer Advocacy Program	FREE 5 minute Franchise Matching Service CLICK HERE
Press release date: 10-Aug-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 master file. This WSI con master file, housed on the secure WSI website, will be used to educate consumers.

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 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!” Although international, national, state consumer laws are currently in place to protect individuals and businesses from scams such as those run by ripoff operators, WSI realizes that many who have fallen for shady business dealings are reluctant to step forward. Whether because they feel like “fools” or have been emotionally beaten down by their experiences with illegitimate company liars, they hesitate to call attention to their situations, even though it could prevent further illegal activities from occurring. WSI wants to put this “head in the sand” mentality to a stop. WSI Rip Off – WSI Scam Coalition: Encouraging Fraud, Scam Victims to come forward and share their information The WSI consumer advocacy program encourages those who have fallen victim to false information to come forward. By doing so, WSI hopes that this can help consumers so they are not drawn into painful class action lawsuits which can be an emotional nightmare lasting for years, usually with only the lawyers benefiting financially. WSI claims that they hope that when the rip offs are exposed, they expect that many scammers who have been distributing fake information or operating online scams and exploiting the public will be exposed (either by WSI or other advocacy groups). Though the WSI advocacy program is not a legal organization and, thus, WSI cannot give specific advice regarding case laws or whether a certain operation is illegal in that it violates business law, international law, franchise law, consumer law, securities law or privacy laws, WSI can and will be a clearinghouse of information for consumers who have been swindled by the same old scams that WSI realizes have been operated since the beginning of time. By distributing up-to-date information on poor business ethics (not to mention highly misleading advertising), the WSI consumer advocacy program also hopes to become a resource for persons looking to safely make purchases or do business on the Internet. By being able to avoid a scam on the net by reading WSI-related materials and receiving WSI alert emails, WSI predicts that consumers will feel more comfortable exchanging goods and services globally. WSI Scam WSI Rip-off Coalition Report: Endeavor to halt phishing, spamming, and scamming on the Internet Eventually, WSI may form relationships with similar advocacy programs also committed to halting phishing, spamming, and scamming, thereby strengthening WSI’s position and reach. The more persons WSI can make aware of the lies that have unfortunately sprung up through websites and emails, the better it will be for those who own legitimate online businesses to make money. As with the old adage of one bad apple spoiling the bunch, WSI franchise realizes that one negative experience with a Internet scam can adversely affect the pocketbooks of many hardworking, honest individuals and companies. You can help the WSI consumer advocacy program’s launch by visiting their site, telling others about the WSI mission, and contributing to WSI’s collection of personal anecdotes related to the ugly truth regarding online swindling. You can also devote some time to making sure you’re an informed consumer by researching products and services (and let WSI know if you find anything others should know!) before making any commitments to buy or partner. By doing so, you and WSI will ensure that anyone peddling hard sell techniques has incredible difficulty finding another victim. You’ll also help WSI make it less inviting for criminals to engage in corruption or deceptive practices. That there will always be those in the category of “Cheated People” is, unfortunately, likely; WSI realizes that. No matter how many “buyer beware” signs are posted around the Internet by groups such as WSI, there will always be those who will believe whatever is promised to them. However, through WSI’s diligent research, WSI’s alerts, and word-of-mouth exposure about WSI’s mission, the WSI consumer advocacy program hopes to slow the growth of all Internet scams, making cyberspace a safer place in which to engage in commercial activities.
