What is law enforcement doing about organized internet crimes?

What law enforcement is, or isnt doing about organized internet crimes and why. What can be done about it in the future? Are there any more groups outside law enforcement such as the cyber angles, and what they are doing about it, etc……….

The FBI has a computer crimes division known as the IC3, or the Internet Crime Complaint Center. You can go there to file reports of illegal fraud online. I am a user of Craigslist.org and I have been contacted many times by people trying to scam me by having me ship expensive items to foreign countries like Nigeria. Each time I just go to the FBI’s IC3 and file a report. When you file a report there, it gets submitted to the FBI. The FBI then sends the information out to your local law enforcement authorities (if needed) and they will contact you about getting printed documents that show proof of this crime. Sadly, I have reported many people to the IC3 and have never been contacted by the police or FBI, simplt because there really isn’t much for the FBI to do if the person is overseas. I think it works sufficiently if you’re reporting someone in the United States though.

Y does it seem like crimes that r committed over the internet r worse than the crimes commmitted in person?

Some of the stories I see or hear that have 2 do w/ the internet r so much more heinous than crimes committed in person? I have heard horror stories or have seen them that have involved internet crimes concerning rape or murder, only when it comes 2 the internet, those crimes r much more horrific when they’re committed. Y is that?

I assume you mean when someone meets someone over the internet, and then they meet in person, these people sometimes fall victim to being raped or murdered…(via the person they met). I think it seems more horrific because the people that are raped or murdered are usually naive, trusting, young, desperate, and seem more "Victim" then another victim might have been. It makes the news seem more horrible when we hear it was a 18 year old woman who’d fallen victim to a 47 year old man masquerading as a 22 year older, and her loneliness made her an easy target. We all know someone who is lonely, or looking for love. Perhaps our mother, our sister, perhaps even ourselves. It’s easy to see ourselves in that picture, and easy to live in denial that the man or woman WE converse with is on the level. NOBODY is to be trusted who lives behind a screen, the sooner we remember that, the sooner we can stop internet crime.

Are there any online forms to petition a state’s Internet Crimes Unit?

A friend of mine is being seriously harrassed on myspace by a highly intelligent psychopath who is obsessed with her. She blocked him and yet he is still able to send her messages because he is a computer genius and found a way to bypass her block. How do we put together a formal request to her state’s internet crimes unit?

Call the local police and file a report.
