Fake Companies, Real Money. Article on MSNBC.com
MSNBC.com published an article on October 7, 2004 titled "Fake companies, real money"
The article was written by Bob Sullivan, Technology correspondent.
If you run a business and accept credit cards, or are even thinking about using credit cards for business sales, you MUST read this article.

This kind of fraud against business was alluded to in the NewYorkTimes.com article "Identity Theft is Epidemic. Can It Be Stopped?". (I posted that on Sunday when the article appeared.)
I hadn't realized how many ways this is being worked by these thieves. In the NYTimes article, the thieves were using stolen credit cards to go into Home Depot and purchase expensive tools, then selling them off at half price to convert their purchases into cash quickly. Anybody need some cheap tools?
Our Identity Theft Shield does not cover Identity Theft against businesses (it is only available to individuals--including the member and spouse), but our Small Business Plan will help businesses get the creditors off their back when there are fraudulent charges against the business.
A quote from the article: "The bad news is, some of the providers are still trying to make him pay the bill for the charges. He figures he has spent about $5,000 in legal fees trying to clean up the mess."
Our Pre-Paid Legal Small Business Plans will provide access to attorneys who can help you clear these charges from your accounts--and get the creditors off your back. This may not come entirely without cost (an initial letter will come at no cost over the monthly membership fee), but you will have qualified, experienced attorneys working with you, and you will at the very least pay a discounted rate for the services.
If any of these creditors actually sue you, you will have 75 hours of attorney time already paid for. That could be worth $20 to $30,000 in attorney fees that you will not have to pay.
