Beware of Identity Theft

IDENTITY THEFT.... It's a problem. Don't let it become your problem. A word of advise from Trailblazer Investigations Inc 631.921.5036.




Internet-based criminal rings are 'the organized crime of the 21st century,' according to a police expert.
Canada is home to members of highly organized credit card and identity theft rings operating with impunity online, say investigators who have spent more than a year sifting through evidence in the largest international undercover sting operation in Internet history.
The U.S. Secret Service, the Vancouver police department and private security investigators hired by companies and Canadian banks believe major cities across the country harbour members of an online credit card fraud and identity theft ring that came to be known as Shadowcrew.
Its name comes from the website Shadowcrew.com, where the thieves gathered to trade stolen items and plot their crimes. Shadowcrew.com was shut down, and 28 of the alleged highest-ranking members of the gang were arrested Oct. 26, 2004, during simultaneous raids carried out by the Secret Service, the RCMP and Europol, and local police forces in North America, Latin America and Europe.
Three Canadians were arrested as part of the sting but have yet to be charged.
An investigation into Shadowcrew's Canadian connection is continuing, according to Tom Musselwhite, special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service's western Canadian operations.
'I think it's safe to say there are people that were involved in Shadowcrew who are in most, if not all, major Canadian cities,' said Musselwhite, who works out of a field office in Vancouver.
Internet-based criminal rings are an emerging and dangerous manifestation of organized crime in this country, according to investigators,"
