Los miembros del servicio militar también son objetivo de los estafadores

Casos de estafas dirigidas a los miembros del ejército

Qué podría hacer

Los miembros del ejército de EE. UU son objeto de estafas dirigidas específicamente a ellos

Es fácil pensar que solo las personas comunes de la sociedad son objetivos típicos y víctima de estafas y esquemas fraudulentos. Por el contrario, los miembros del servicio militar de los Estados Unidos son víctimas potenciales de estas estratagemas maliciosas. Estos estafadores utilizan los medios más ingeniosos para ir tras los cheques y beneficios de los militares.

Examinemos algunos casos de estas actividades fraudulentas.

Casos de estafas dirigidas a los miembros del ejército

La Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC, por sus siglas en inglés) ha revelado que no todas las escuelas y sitios web, ansiosos por matricular a lo estudiantes, lo hacen con intenciones de buena fe. Denunciaron a la Universidad de Phoenix por captar y atraer a los miembros del servicio, tanto a los activos como a los veteranosс, mediante falsos beneficios. La escuela acabó pagando casi 200 millones de dólares en efectivo y en deudas canceladas.

Algunos sitios web falsos, como Army.com y NavyEnlist.com, fueron utilizados por agentes de Career Education Corporation para inscribir a múltiples estudiantes. En un caso de la FTC, la institución fue obligada a devolver 30 millones de dólares a los estudiantes.

También hay los casos de sextorsión, en los cuales el personal militar es seducido para que realicen actividades sexuales online. Sin embargo, las actividades se registran en secreto y se utilizan posteriormente para extorsionar fondos u otros favores. Este tipo de extorsión sexual generalmente funciona porque:

Los miembros del servicio son económicamente estables
El personal militar está sujeto a un estándar de conducta más alto
Por lo general, se encuentran lejos de su hogar y sus lugares de comodidad y son víctimas potenciales de este tipo de trampas

Últimamente, el Congreso tomó medidas drásticas contra una laguna jurídica que incitaba a las escuelas aprovecharse de los veteranos. Estas instituciones deben ocuparse de las acciones de ejecución. Y lo que es peor, corren el riesgo de perder su elegibilidad para los fondos GI y Título IV.

Además, se ha producido un aumento sin precedentes en el número de casos de robo de identidad y fraude en el ejército.Los delincuentes han utilizado los datos de miembros militares para obtener beneficios gubernamentales. Según la estadística, los consumidores militares perdieron más por fraude que el resto del público en 2020.

Qué podría hacer

Los estafadores son implacables en la búsqueda de sus fines egoístas. Por lo tanto, están dispuestos a aprovecharse de los miembros del servicio en todos los ámbitos posibles, incluso el mercado educativo. A continuación, algunos pasos para detenerlos.

Informe a las autoridades competentes si descubre que alguna institución se está aprovechando del personal militar
Los miembros del servicio deben tomar las medidas adecuadas para proteger su crédito y su imagen, ya que ocupan posiciones sensibles
El personal militar debe hablar con los especialistas para saber qué medidas tomar si una estafa está dirigida a ellos
Las instituciones educativas que se aprovechan del personal militar pueden solicitar según la condonación del préstamo a través de la Defensa del Prestatario del Departamento de Educación para los procedimientos de reembolso

Dado que nadie está a salvo de las malas intenciones de los estafadores y defraudadores, debemos permanecer atentos. Los delincuentes están siempre al acecho para aprovecharse de los incautos. Si por casualidad experimenta o es testigo de un problema de este tipo, podemos ayudarle. Póngase en contacto con nosotros.

INVESTIGATIVE ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT

You, (“Client,” “you”), and Consumer Attorneys PLC (“CA” or “we”), located at 8095 N. 85th Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85258 (“CA”) , hereby enter into this limited scope retainer agreement whereby you agree to grant CA the exclusive authority to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s), including but not limited to potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), Electronic Funds Transfer Act “EFTA”), Fair Credit Billing Act (“FCPA”), and/or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA”) (collectively referenced as “consumer protection statutes”). ¹Please read carefully before signing:

Authorization

You authorize CA to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) under state and federal consumer protection statutes. You authorize CA to contact third parties on your behalf for the limited purpose of investigating your potential consumer law claims. “Third parties” include but are not limited to consumer reporting agencies, creditors, lenders, debt collectors, rental agencies, employers, courts, and law enforcement agencies.

CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period

CA agrees to investigate your potential consumer law claims in good faith. By signing this agreement, you agree to give CA the exclusive right to investigate your potential consumer law claim(s) for the next 180 days (“Exclusive Investigative Period”). For the duration of the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that you will not communicate with any other law firm or legal representative about your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to forgo any previously scheduled consultation or case review until CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period concludes.

Termination of Exclusive Investigation Period

CA agrees that the Exclusive Investigative Period may not extend beyond 180 days without your prior written consent.

At any time between the date of this agreement and the expiration of CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period, CA may inform you of the outcome of its investigation. If CA’s investigation reveals that you have an actional consumer law claim, CA may ask you to sign a formal retainer agreement. If CA’s investigation does not reveal an actionable consumer law claim, you will receive an e-mail that states CA will not represent you in any further pursuit of your potential claim(s).

The relationship between you and CA automatically terminates at 5pm on the 180th day of the Exclusive Investigative Period or your receipt of CA’s written notice to decline representation, whichever comes sooner. At the conclusion of the Exclusive Investigative Period or upon receipt of CA’s written declination of representation, you are permitted to seek alternative legal counsel without penalty.

Nothing in this agreement should be construed as a promise or guarantee that CA will represent you in a consumer lawsuit at any point in time. CA reserves the right to decline to represent you for any reason permitted by relevant laws and ethical rules.

Your Involvement and Promises to us

You agree to meaningfully participate and cooperate in CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s). You agree to immediately inform CA if your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number changes at any point during the Exclusive Investigative Period.
You agree to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, materials, and all other similar instruments to CA and its representatives during the Exclusive Investigative Period. You understand that your failure to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, and materials to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period may hinder, delay or otherwise frustrate CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s).

You agree, under penalty of perjury, to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information to CA. All documents and communications, oral or written, past or future, provided to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period and anytime thereafter are presumed by CA to be true, complete, and accurate.

Fees and Costs Incurred During Exclusive Investigative Period

CA agrees that you will not incur any out-of-pocket fees or costs during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period. However, if CA agrees to represent you in a consumer lawsuit, CA may recover the fees and costs incurred during the Exclusive Investigative Period from the Defendant pursuant to a future settlement or judgment.

You agree that CA has a right to place a lien on any future monetary recovery obtained by client related to the claims identified during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period or as a result of CA’s investigative efforts. If you refuse to cooperate with CA in the formal pursuit of the consumer law claim(s) it identifies during or after the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that CA has the right to recover the fees and costs it incurred while investigating your potential consumer law claim(s).

Authorization to Use Your Electronic Signature

CA will send you any and all documents that require your signature. You authorize CA to affix your electronic signature to requests, disclosures, or other forms that CA deems reasonably necessary to the investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s) upon receipt of your approval or after the 7th day after the document was sent to you, whichever comes first. Your electronic signature will be used on any and all other subsequent documents that will need signature, affirmation, acknowledgment, or any other forms of authentication in reference to this matter under the above referenced procedure.

¹You also agree to give CA the exclusive authority to investigate potential violations of state-specific consumer protection statutes.
