Pre-Deployment Tips

You can take steps to protect your finances and credit while you're protecting our country. Before you ship out on a military deployment, read these tips and talk with your family.

Get your financial house in order

Make sure your financial records are accurate and up-to-date. This means giving your husband, wife or designee (who will be paying the bills for the next several months) all bank account and credit card numbers, a record of assets and outstanding debts, a list of typical expenses such as rent and utilities, and all phone numbers and addresses necessary for dealing with financial matters.

Consider granting a power of attorney

Granting a power of attorney to your spouse or another trusted family member will allow that person to handle financial matters in your absence. They'll have the legal right to sign important papers and take other actions on your behalf. Military installation legal assistance offices can help service men and women set up a power of attorney.

Power of attorney gives the person considerable authority to spend your money and take on new debt in your name. If you aren't comfortable granting that much control, the power of attorney can be limited to a specific area of your financial affairs. It can also be limited to a certain period of time.

Take care of taxes

Before deployment, decide how your taxes will be filed and who will file them. If your spouse will be taking on tax duty for the first time, make sure he or she has all necessary documents.

Guard your identity

There's another threat that you may face while serving your country—the threat of identity theft. The risk of identity theft can be higher while you’re on active duty because it can be more difficult to watch over your credit. Take steps to protect your identity. If you have become a victim, Mississippi law allows you to place a security freeze (Miss Code 75-24-201) that will stop credit reporting agencies from releasing any information about you to new creditors without your approval. That can stop identity thieves from further damaging your good name. An active duty alert is another way of getting protection against identity theft while you are away from your usual duty station.

Know your rights as a renter

Federal law allows military personnel who receive military orders for a permanent change of station or to deploy with a military unit, or as an individual in support of a military operation, for a period of not less than 90 days to terminate their lease. Please refer to the federal Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act (SSRA) for more details regarding your rights.

Freeze Your Credit

What Is a Security Freeze?

A "security freeze" is a consumer right provided by Mississippi law (Section 75-24-201), added effective July 1, 2007. If you have become a victim of identity theft, you can place a security freeze on your credit reports to block further access to your credit unless you have given your permission. This can prevent identity thieves from further damaging your credit by opening any new accounts or getting credit in your name. A security freeze, also known as a credit or a file freeze, can be lifted (or "thawed") temporarily when you are applying for credit, or removed permanently.

How a Security Freeze Works

  • Once you've placed a security freeze on your credit, a creditor who asks to see your file will see a message that your file is frozen. The creditor will not see your credit score, and may treat your application as incomplete but not rejected.
  • Government agencies collecting child support payments or taxes and your existing creditors, or collection agencies acting on their behalf, can continue to access your credit despite the freeze.
  • Other creditors may also use your information to offer you pre-approved credit. You can stop most credit offers by calling (888) 5-OPT-OUT or visiting http://www.optoutprescreen.com
    • .

    You will still be able to get a free copy of your credit report (http://www.annualcreditreport.com) annually from each credit bureau.

File a Complaint

What To Know About Filing A Consumer Complaint

Before you file a complaint, read any relevant consumer tips. This information can often help you resolve disputes and protect yourself from future problems.

The Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office enforces Mississippi's consumer protection laws, which are aimed at preventing unfair or deceptive trade practices.

We learn about such practices through consumer complaints filed with the office. Thank you for taking the time to complete the complaint form.

What To Include With Your Complaint

When you submit your complaint, please ensure that you include legible COPIES of supporting documents you may have. Such documents include contracts, bills of sale, receipts, written estimates and repair orders for any repair problems; warranties, including any oral warranties or promises made about the condition of your car or other product; correspondence between you and the company, etc.

Please do NOT send originals. If you fail to send existing supporting documents it may delay processing of your complaint. Faxing your complaint may also delay processing if the paperwork you send is illegible.

You may enter the information on the Consumer Complaint form and submit it electronically, or fill out the form on your computer and print it. You’ll need to mail supporting documents with a copy of the complaint.

You can also call us to request a Consumer Complaint form, or mail us the required information in the form of a letter. You can call us at 1-800-281-4418 toll free within Mississippi, or direct at (601) 359-4230 from outside of Mississippi.

Please provide all the information requested. Give us details about your complaint in the "Explanation" section and on additional sheets if necessary. Be sure to tell what happened, when it happened, and where it happened, and be specific about any oral statements the business made to you, especially those which influenced you to deal with the company. Try to be brief but thorough. Be sure to sign your name on the completed form.

For General Consumer Complaints: please submit electronically or print the Consumer Complaint form in PDF and mail it in.

For Automobile Complaints: please submit electronically or print the Consumer Complaint form. Include with your complaint the following documents and information:

Vehicle sales complaint: Please submit photocopies of the bill of sale, credit contract, and any correspondence relating to the problem.

Used-car warranty complaint: Please submit photocopies of the warranty, and describe in your explanation any oral warranties or promises made about the condition of the car.

Any car-repair complaint: Please submit photocopies of the repair orders or written estimates.

What Happens to Your Complaint Once We Receive It?

Once we receive your complaint and supporting documents, we review it and in most cases forward it to the business complained about for response. You'll receive copies of all correspondence. We will work with you and the business to try to resolve your dispute.

If the complaint falls within the jurisdiction of another local, state, or federal agency, we may refer your complaint to that agency.

If we cannot find a mutually satisfactory resolution, we may suggest that you consider filing an action in Justice Court or consulting with a private attorney. Certain complaints that involve contractual disputes or disputes of the facts can be resolved only by the courts.

In cases where consumers' complaints show a pattern of illegal business practices, we may take legal action to enforce the law on behalf of the public.

Although we try to assist all consumers, the fact that we may not be able to directly assist you does not mean your complaint isn't valid. Each complaint remains a part of our files and may be useful to other consumers. It will also help us to monitor questionable business practices and to set priorities for enforcement efforts and legislative recommendations.

Scams that Target Military Personnel

Scam artists who prey on members of the military and their loved ones have no shame. But there are ways to avoid getting ripped off by these heartless crooks.

Never pay up-front to get a loan or a credit card

You may have seen advertisements promising easy access to loans, even if you have bad credit. These scammers try to get you to pay for their help getting a loan, but once you pay, the loan never materializes. To steer clear of advance fee loan scams, watch out for loan brokers who promise or suggest that they can get a loan for you if you pay a fee first. Under Mississippi law (Miss. Code 81-19-23), it's illegal for a loan broker to charge an advance fee to obtain a loan or a credit card for a consumer. A legitimate loan officer should not require an up-front fee.

Don't get taken for a ride

That vehicle looks great on the car dealer's lot and you know you'd look great behind the wheel. But when you go car shopping, don't be in a hurry. Pentagon officials have seen patterns of unfair business practices targeting military personnel buying cars. Make sure you're getting a fair deal, especially if you're buying a used vehicle. Research the car's history and get a mechanic to look it over before you sign anything. And remember, a used car is usually sold "as is". If it breaks down after you drive it off of the lot the dealer may not be responsible for fixing it.

Watch out for people who try to exploit a military connection

Scammers are always looking for ways to get potential victims to lower their guard. Some will try to gain your trust by claiming a connection to the military. Just because a business puts a military reference or term in its name doesn't mean it provides a legitimate service to military personnel. If someone seems to be using your shared military service to get you to purchase a product or make an investment, be wary. Don't let anyone exploit your patriotism or cause you to set aside your healthy skepticism about spending or investing your money.

Avoid self-serving "Financial Planners"

Deployment pay… a reenlistment bonus… retirement pay. Any event that puts cash into the hands of a service man or woman represents an opportunity for an unscrupulous investment advisor. Despite recent crackdowns on companies that target members of the military for investments that carry high fees, military personnel remain at risk. Roth IRAs and the military's Savings Deposit Program are among the safest ways to protect your hard-earned dollars.

Get insurance you need, not what someone wants to sell you

Some insurance agents try to use high-pressure tactics to maneuver military personnel into purchasing insurance they don't need. Agents are now barred from trying to sell insurance at mandatory-attendance meetings on base, and they can't use senior personnel to help them pitch their policies. But outside the gates, many insurance agents still try to convince service personnel to buy inappropriate insurance. Instead, max out your government-provided insurance. The Servicemember's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) provides outstanding insurance at a great price.

Guide for Military Personnel

Men and Women of our Armed Forces,

Many merchants who operate near our military installations provide quality services and products. They take pride in serving their military customers and treat them fairly.

Unfortunately, some merchants who cater to military customers do not always operate their businesses fairly. They may see young men and women in uniform, some living away from home for the first time or receiving their first steady paycheck, as targets to be exploited. Scam artists also try to take advantage of military personnel and families.

At the Mississippi Attorney General's office, our Consumer Protection Division works to protect you from unlawful business practices. If you feel that you have been wronged, you can file a complaint with us and we'll work to resolve it. If we find a pattern of illegal business practices, we can enforce the law on behalf of all Mississippi consumers. While we can't represent you in a private legal case, we may be able to help if you didn't get what you paid for or were tricked into a bad deal.

You can file a Consumer Complaint Form or call 1-800-281-4418 toll-free within Mississippi to request a complaint form. (From outside Mississippi, call (601) 359-4230)

Filing a complaint will not have an effect on your military record, and we will not communicate with your chain of command unless you request us to do so.

Scams That Target Military Personnel and Their Families

Scam artists who prey on members of the military and their loved ones have no shame. But there are ways to avoid getting ripped off by these heartless crooks.

Never pay up-front to get a loan or a credit card

You may have seen advertisements promising easy access to loans, even if you have bad credit. These advance fee loan scams try to get you to pay for their help getting a loan, but once you pay, the loan never materializes. To steer clear of advance fee loan scams, watch out for loan brokers who promise or suggest that they can get a loan for you if you pay a fee first. Under Mississippi law (Miss. Code Section 81-19-23), it's illegal for a loan broker to charge an advance fee to obtain a loan or a credit card for a consumer.

Legitimate lenders will not charge you money upfront. Typically, advance fee loan schemes claim that you must make the first and last monthly payments or pay five percent of the principal so that you won't lose the loan to others who are competing for it. Don't agree to pay anything until after the loan has closed. And steer clear of advance fee credit card offers, too. Scammers may offer credit cards with a pre-approved limit and low interest rates for an upfront fee. They'll ask for your bank account information and so they can authorize an electronic draft to pay the fee. In most cases, they simply take money from your account and you never get a credit card.

Watch out for people who try to exploit a military connection. Scammers are always looking for ways to get potential victims to lower their guard. Some will try to gain your trust by claiming a connection to the military. Just because a business puts a military reference or term in its name doesn't mean it provides good service to military personnel.

Don't Get Taken For a Ride When You Buy That Car

"It's a fact that military personnel love their cars. Sadly, many of them end up paying far more for them than they should."

Holly Petraeus, wife of General David Petreaus and Director of the Council of Better Business Bureaus' Military Line, which provides consumer education for service members

In February of 2010, Undersecretary of Defense Clifford Stanley reported to the U.S. Treasury Department that nearly three out of four military financial counselors had provided advice to service members on issues related to abusive auto financing. Pentagon officials are concerned that service members' worries about finances, which frequently include auto loans, are having a negative impact on military readiness. They also see patterns of unfair business practices that frequently target military personnel.

In one common scam, called the Yo-Yo, unscrupulous car dealers use trickery to try to squeeze more money out of car buyers. After the buyer signs a sales contract that includes the terms of their loan, they drive their newly purchased vehicle off of the sales lot. But a few days or weeks later, the car salesman calls the buyer back to the lot and claims that the loan financing has fallen through.

The salesman says the buyer will need to pay more cash in order to keep the car or renegotiate the loan with a less favorable interest rate. If they refuse, the buyer may find that their new car has been blocked in on the sales lot so it can't be moved. The buyer may be told that their trade-in vehicle has already been sold. Some dealers may also try to refuse to return the buyer's down payment. However, the buyer has a legal right to request that the original deal be "unwound" if the financing falls through, and that all of their money be refunded.

Another tactic involves loading up the loan financing contract with expensive options. These include theft deterrent systems, vehicle service contracts, extended warranties, extra insurance to cover loan payments if the vehicle is involved in an accident, and even credit life insurance and disability insurance policies for the buyer. These unnecessary items can cost buyers a lot of money over the life of their loan.

When you go car shopping, don't be in a hurry. Make sure you're getting a fair deal, especially if you're buying a used vehicle. Research the car's history and get a mechanic to look it over before you sign anything. And remember, a used car is usually sold "as is". If it breaks down after you drive it off of the lot the dealer may not be responsible for fixing it.

For Rent(ers)

Both you and your landlord have rights and responsibilities. By law, your landlord is required to keep your unit in good and safe working order and to follow relevant state and local codes.

When you discover that something needs to be fixed, let your landlord know about the problem immediately over the telephone or in person. Your landlord doesn't have to fix the problem until you tell him about it in writing, so follow up with a written request and keep a copy for your files.

If your landlord doesn't respond in a reasonable amount of time, you may decide to pay to repair an emergency problem yourself. Be sure to keep copies of all receipts so that you can seek reimbursement from your landlord.

Don't withhold rent to convince your landlord to make repairs. Instead, try to work out a cut in your rent. For example, the landlord may allow you to pay to fix a broken refrigerator and then subtract the cost from your next month's rent. Or, the landlord may agree to reduce your rent for a month during which you could not use one room because of a leaky roof.

If the landlord fails to fix something that puts your safety at risk or violates local codes, report it to local authorities. Local building, health, fire and safety inspectors can take action to ensure compliance with the codes.

Additional Protections for Military Renters

Federal law allows military personnel who receive military orders for a permanent change of station or to deploy with a military unit, or as an individual in support of a military operation, to terminate their lease. Please refer to the Federal Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act (SSRA) for more specific details regarding your rights.

If you and your landlord aren't able to settle your disputes, you have the option of taking your landlord to Justice Court.

Pre-Deployment Tips

You can take steps to protect your finances and credit while you're protecting our country. Before you ship out on a military deployment, read these tips and talk with your family.

Get your financial house in order

Make sure your financial records are accurate and up-to-date. This means giving your husband, wife, or designated person (who will be paying the bills for the next several months) all bank account and credit card numbers, a record of assets and outstanding debts, a list of typical expenses such as rent and utilities, and all phone numbers and addresses necessary for dealing with financial matters.

Consider granting a power of attorney

Granting a power of attorney to your spouse or another trusted family member will allow that person to handle financial matters in your absence. They'll have the legal right to sign important papers and take other actions on your behalf. Military installation legal assistance offices can help service men and women set up a power of attorney.

Power of attorney gives the person considerable authority to spend your money and take on new debt in your name. If you aren't comfortable granting that much control, the power of attorney can be limited to a specific area of your financial affairs. It can also be limited to a certain period of time. A limited power of attorney can be revoked by you at any time by filing notice with the chancery clerk's office. (Miss. Code Section 87-3-17).

Take care of taxes

Before deployment, decide how your taxes will be filed and who will file them. If your spouse will be taking on tax duty for the first time, make sure he or she has all necessary documents. The IRS also allows military personnel to file for an extension by using Form 2350.

Watch out for scams

Military spouses should be especially careful while their husband or wife is away on active duty. Beware of work-from-home scams and home repair scams. To learn more about scams, visit http://www.agjimhood.com If y.ou think that you have been hit by a scam, contact MS Attorney General Jim Hood's office at 1-800-281-4418 or 601-359-4230.

Guard your identity

There’s another threat that you may face while serving your country - the threat of identity theft. The risk of identity theft can be higher while you're on active duty because it can be more difficult to watch over your credit. Take steps to protect your identity, like placing an Active Duty Alert on your credit. When a business sees an Active Duty alert, they must verify your identity before issuing credit.

A Security Freeze is another way to protect against further damage of identity theft while you are away from your usual duty station. A Security Freeze stops credit reporting agencies from releasing any information about you to new creditors without your approval. That can stop identity thieves from getting new credit in your name.

Active Duty Alerts

For members of the military:

When you're called to active duty or deployed away from your normal duty station, you can place an active duty alert on your credit report to reduce the risk that you'll become a victim of identity theft.

When a business sees an active duty alert on your credit report, it must verify your identity before issuing credit. The law allows you to designate a personal representative (a spouse or another trusted person) who can act on your behalf to verify your identity or remove your active duty alert if needed.

Your active duty alert will remain in place for one year, although you can request to have it removed sooner. When the year is up, you can place another active duty alert on your credit report if your deployment is continuing. Placing an active duty alert also reduces the number of pre-approved credit card and insurance offers you receive for two years.

To place an active duty alert, contact at least one of the three credit bureaus. Update your contact information if it changes before your alert expires.

Public Integrity

The staff of attorneys and investigators in the Public Integrity Division (PID) are responsible for the prosecution of several types of criminal cases in the State Courts in Mississippi. As its primary mission, PID is charged with the responsibility of investigating and prosecuting public corruption and white collar crime. PID works closely with various State agencies, such as the Mississippi Auditor's Office and Mississippi Secretary of State's Office, as well as with federal agencies and local law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of corrupt public employees or private citizens conducting business with the State in a fraudulent or otherwise illegal manner.

The division provides assistance to local law enforcement officials, local prosecutors and the State's 22 district attorneys in the performance of their duties. Further, PID is charged with the responsibility of impaneling a statewide grand jury to investigate and prosecute large-scale drug violators. PID works with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics in investigating and prosecuting large-scale drug organizations through both criminal prosecution and civil forfeiture actions.

In addition to its primary mission, the Public Integrity Division includes several units charged with enforcing particular areas of law in this State, either independently or in conjunction with local law enforcement and prosecution:

Cyber Crime Unit
This unit provides comprehensive investigation, prosecution, training, and public awareness on crimes involving the use of a computer and the Internet.
Child Desertion Unit
The attorney and staff of the Child Desertion Unit are dedicated to the prosecution of deadbeat parents of Mississippi children.
Vulnerable Adult Unit

Insurance Fraud Unit

The mission of this unit is to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud. The unit initiates investigations upon referrals from individuals or insurance companies. Cases range from the prosecution of individuals who file fraudulent claims for compensation/benefits to prosecution of companies (and their agents/employees) for fraudulent denial of claims.

Unrecovered Stolen Vehicle Database

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has provided a free search engine allowing citizens or businesses to run a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through this extensive database of stolen vehicles to help determine if an automobile has been reported stolen.

VIN Check is free, helps prevent unsafe rebuilt wrecks from being sold to innocent customers, and allows a customer to check to determine if a vehicle is report stolen.

Please visit the National Insurance Crime Bureau Website for more information.

Don't became a victim of insurance fraud - either directly or indirectly. Know the scams, read about real-life cases, and find out how you can fight back. Visit the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud website for more information.

Crime Prevention and Victim Services Division

Crime Prevention and Victim Services encompasses Victim Assistance, Victim Compensation, and Youth Services. Our mission has been expanded under the leadership of Attorney General Jim Hood to focus on avenues which promote crime prevention measures for the safety of the citizens of Mississippi and provide services for victims of crime.

Victim Assistance

The Victim Assistance Program serves as the single point of contact for crime victims, provides a toll free information and referral line, assists with completion of financial aid applications, connects victims to support groups, educates law enforcement on victim rights and services, assists victims with invoking their rights and obtaining case and offender status and provides immediate notification to victims and survivors who have cases pending before the Mississippi Court of Appeals and the Mississippi Supreme Court. The Victim Assistance Program emphasis is providing assistance to individuals who live in rural areas where local victim services are not available.

Victim Compensation

The Crime Victim Compensation Program provides financial assistance to victims of crime and their family members. The goal of the division is to provide a method of compensating and assisting those persons who are innocent victims of criminal acts and who suffer bodily injury or death. In addition, the Division provides information referrals and advocacy outreach programs. Victim Compensation operates with revenue derived from fees, fines and assessments imposed on criminals, court ordered restitution and federal grants. Applicants can apply for reimbursement which may include lost wages, mental health and medical treatment and funeral expenses.

Sexual Assault Exam Payment Program

A hospital/clinic is responsible for submitting the bill for a sexual assault medical forensic examination to the Office of the Attorney General, Division of Victim Compensation. No bill for the examination will be submitted to the victim, nor shall the medical facility hold the victim responsible for payment. (Section 99-37-25 of the Mississippi Code Annotated)

Address Confidentiality Program

The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, who have moved to a new location unknown to their abuser or stalker, keep their new location confidential from their abuser or stalker. While not a witness protection program or a total guarantee of safety, the ACP along with other components of an overall safety plan can help victims as they work to increase their overall safety.

Youth Services

The Office of the Attorney General is dedicated to improving the lives of Mississippi's youth. The Youth Services Program is committed to ensuring the safety and well being of each child. Prevention efforts continue to reduce juvenile delinquency, truancy, exploitation and child abuse through the creation and promotion of after school programs, mentoring initiatives and training seminars. This office has partnered with many state agencies, as well as, non profit organizations to expand the services available to children in need.


The Office of the Attorney General is involved in many youth programs. Some of those include:


Youth Patrols

Youth Patrols are student organizations empowered to assist school administrators in preventing and reporting crime on school campuses. Youth Patrols are supervised by designated faculty. Students patrol the schools in pairs and report potential problems or trespassers via two-way radios; however, students do not intervene. Participating schools receive two-way radios, identifying arm bands, training manuals and posters. This is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Attorney General, Mississippi Crime Stoppers, and the Mississippi Department of Education. For more information you may contact our office at 601-359-4207.


Champions for Children

Champions for Children, formerly known as the Mississippi Mentoring Network, is a non profit organization that awards competitive scholarships to high school seniors who demonstrate a commitment to improving the lives of children in their communities by mentoring a minimum of 100 hours. These seniors also participate in an essay contest and fulfill other requirements. Winners of the scholarships are evaluated on their mentoring experience, the submitted essay, and letters of support they provide. APPLICATION available here.

Do the Write Thing

The Office of the Attorney General works with the Mississippi Department of Education, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and public schools throughout the state in sponsoring an essay contest for seventh and eighth graders. The state winners are accompanied by their teachers to Washington, D.C. where they present their essays on preventing youth violence to their Mississippi congressmen and the Librarian of Congress. The students also have an opportunity to meet with Department of Justice officials to discuss their perspectives on preventing violence.


Teen Court

Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program available for certain offenders who have waived all right of confidentiality and privilege against self-incrimination. This is a preventive program for juveniles who are not less than thirteen nor more than seventeen years of age. Students serve as prosecutor, defense counsel, bailiff, court clerk and jurors. The program is to administer the "sentencing" or disposition phase of the proceedings against offenders who elect to participate and who are eligible. The program is under the guidance of the local youth court and must be approved by the local youth court. The youth court judge, or his designee who is a licensed attorney, presides. Any school participating in the Teen Court Program is allowed to credit the time of teachers and students spent in participating in teen court as instructional time. For more information, please visit the YouthCourt Website or contact our office at 601-359-4243.


Juvenile Drug Court

Through a grant from the Office of the Attorney General, the first juvenile drug court was established in Natchez, Mississippi. The program works in conjunction with the Adolescent Offender Program and provides needed treatment for those young people with substance and alcohol abuse problems who are in the juvenile justice system. A representative from the Crime Prevention and Victims Services Division participates on the Mississippi State Drug Court Advisory Committee, established by the Mississippi Legislature. The Committee makes recommendations to the Chief Justice and the Director of the Administrative Office of Courts concerning improvement in drug court policies and procedures. For more information, you may contact our office at 601-359-4243.

Check Scams

Check Overpayment Scams

Check overpayment scams target consumers selling cars or other valuable items through classified ads or online auction sites. Unsuspecting sellers get stuck when scammers pass off bogus cashier's checks, corporate checks, or personal checks. Here's how it happens: A scam artist replies to a classified ad or auction posting, offers to pay for the item with a check, and then comes up with a reason for writing the check for more than the purchase price. The scammer asks the seller to wire back the difference after depositing the check. The seller does it, and later, when the scammer's check bounces, the seller is left liable for the entire amount.

Counterfeit Check Scams

It's your lucky day! You just won a foreign lottery! The letter says so. And the cashier's check to cover the taxes and fees is included. All you have to do to get your winnings is deposit the check and wire the money to the sender to pay the taxes and fees. You're guaranteed that when they get your payment, you'll get your prize. There's just one catch: this is a scam. The check is no good, even though it appears to be a legitimate cashier's check. The lottery angle is a trick to get you to wire money to someone you don't know. If you were to deposit the check and wire the money, your bank would soon learn that the check was a fake. And you're out the money because the money you wired can't be retrieved, and you're responsible for the checks you deposit - even though you don’t know they're fake. This is just one example of a counterfeit check scam that could leave you scratching your head. Some fake checks look so real that bank tellers are reporting being fooled. The scammers use high quality printers and scanners to make the checks look real. Some of the checks contain authentic-looking watermarks. These counterfeit checks are printed with the names and addresses of legitimate financial institutions. And even though the bank and account and routing numbers listed on a counterfeit check may be real, the check still can be a fake. These fakes come in many forms, from cashier's checks and money orders to corporate and personal checks. Could you be a victim? Not if you know how to recognize and report them.

How to Avoid Counterfeit Check Scams

  • Throw away any offer that asks you to pay for a prize or a gift. If it's free or a gift, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Free is free.
  • Resist the urge to enter foreign lotteries. It's illegal to play a foreign lottery through the mail or the telephone, and most foreign lottery solicitations are phony.
  • Know who you're dealing with, and never wire money to strangers.
  • If you're selling something, don't accept a check for more than the selling price, no matter how tempting the offer or how convincing the story. Ask the buyer to write the check for the correct amount. If the buyer refuses to send the correct amount, return the check. Don't send the merchandise.
  • As a seller, you can suggest an alternative way for the buyer to pay, like an escrow service or online payment service. There may be a charge for an escrow service. If the buyer insists on using a particular escrow or online payment service you've never heard of, check it out. Visit its website, and read its terms of agreement and privacy policy. Call the customer service line. If there isn't one - or if you call and can't get answers about the service's reliability - don't use the service..
  • If you accept payment by check, ask for a check drawn on a local bank, or a bank with a local branch. That way, you can make a personal visit to make sure the check is valid. If that's not possible, call the bank where the check was purchased, and ask if it is valid. Get the bank's phone number from directory assistance or an Internet site that you know and trust, not from the check or from the person who gave you the check.
  • If the buyer insists that you wire back funds, end the transaction immediately. Legitimate buyers don't pressure you to send money by wire transfer services. In addition, you have little recourse if there's a problem with a wire transaction.
  • Resist any pressure to "act now". If the buyer's offer is good now, it should be good after the check clears.

    • Secret Shopper Scam

    Secret Shopper Scams

    In secret shopper scams, the consumer, hired to be a secret shopper, is asked to evaluate the effectiveness of a money transfer service. The consumer is given a check, told to deposit it in their bank account, and withdraw the amount in cash. Then, the consumer is told to take the cash to the money transfer service specified, and typically, send the transfer to a person in a Canadian city. Then, the consumer is supposed to evaluate their experience - but no one collects the evaluation. The secret shopper scenario is just a scam to get the consumer's money. Con artists who use these schemes can easily avoid detection. When funds are sent through wire transfer services, the recipients can pick up the money at other locations within the same country; it is nearly impossible for the sender to identify or locate the recipient.

    Credit Card Scams

    Mississippi Consumers need to be aware of a very slick credit card scam being reported across the United States. The callers do not ask for your card number because they have already obtained it. What they are seeking is the security code on the back of your credit card.

    By understanding HOW the credit card scam works, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself!

    Here is an example of how the scam works:

    1. You receive a call from someone posing as they are from "VISA", or "MasterCard". The person calling says, "this is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by bank. Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a marketing company based in Arizona?"
    2. When you say "No", the caller continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?"
    3. You say "yes". The caller continues . . . "I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1-800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control #" The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. Do you need me to read it again?"
    4. Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then says, "he needs to verify you are in possession of your card". He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are your card number, the next 3 are the 'Security Numbers' that verify you are in possession of the card. These are the numbers you use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. Read me the 3 numbers". After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say ,"That is correct. I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?" After you say No, the caller then Thanks you and states, "Don't hesitate to call back if you do", and hangs up.

    What the scammer wants is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. With this number they can make internet purchases against your card. To protect yourself, never give this number to anyone calling for it that you did not initiate the call. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or MasterCard directly.

    VISA or MasterCard will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card!

    Phishing Scams

    Phishing is a high-tech scam that uses spam or pop-up messages to deceive you into disclosing your credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security number, passwords, or other sensitive information. Click here to see an example of a "phishing scam letter".

    How Not to Get Hooked by a "Phishing" Scam

    • If you get an email or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply or click on the link in the message. Legitimate companies don't ask for this information via email. If you are concerned about your account, contact the organization in the email using a telephone number you know to be genuine, or open a new Internet browser session and type in the company's correct Web address. In any case, don't cut and paste the link in the message.
    • Don't email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. If you initiate a transaction and want to provide your personal or financial information through an organization's Web site, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser's status bar or a URL for a website that begins "https:" (the "s" stands for "secure"). Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof; some phishers have forged security icons.
    • Review credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them to determine whether there are any unauthorized charges. If your statement is late by more than a couple of days, call your credit card company or bank to confirm your billing address and account balances.
    • Use anti-virus software and keep it up to date. Some phishing emails contain software that can harm your computer or track your activities on the Internet without your knowledge. Anti-virus software and a firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Anti-virus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses as well as older ones; that can effectively reverse the damage; and that updates automatically.
    • A firewall helps make you invisible on the Internet and blocks all communications from unauthorized sources. It's especially important to run a firewall if you have a broadband connection. Finally, your operating system (like Windows or Linux) may offer free software "patches" to close holes in the system that hackers or phishers could exploit.
    • Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them.

    Frequently Asked Questions-Consumer

    What should I know when buying a car?

    First, determine what you can afford to pay for a car. Figure out what you can pay in monthly installments over approximately a 60 month period of time, the average length of a car loan. This will give you a realistic idea of the automobile price range you fit.

    Next, do a little research. Go on-line, sites like Edmunds provide new and used car prices and comparisons. Study the classified advertisements in the newspaper, or visit some automobile dealerships. Get a firm idea of what type of automobile you want, the price of that vehicle, and make sure it is within your price range.

    Then, determine how you will finance your automobile loan. Most automobile dealerships will eagerly offer to arrange a loan for you, but you do not have to use their services. Explore your options. Sometimes you can get much more favorable rates through your own bank or credit union.

    Then, start shopping! Armed with the knowledge of what type of vehicle you want, what its average price is, what you can afford, and your finance options, you can visit several dealerships and "shop around" for the best deal. Do not be persuaded to purchase a vehicle you do not want or cannot afford. Make sure your monthly payment will not exceed what you can afford. Once you close the deal - it's final. You cannot change your mind and return the vehicle to the dealership and get your money back.

    Also, be cautious of any "extras" (such as etching) the dealership may try to sell you. Be sure you understand what they are, what they cost, and if you really want or need them.

    What about warranties?

    New automobiles come with the manufacturer's warranty and will last for a certain period of time or for a certain amount of miles. The warranty will expire on whichever (time or miles) you reach first. You will likely be offered the opportunity to purchase an "extended warranty" or service contract which will extend the period of time or number of miles contained in the manufacturer's warranty. Be careful! Be sure you understand exactly what you are purchasing. Frequently, these "extended warranties" begin to run from the date of your purchase of the vehicle not when the manufacturer's warranty runs out.

    Mississippi's Lemon Law

    Miss. Code Ann. § 63-17-151, applies to new vehicles only and provides that if the same problem with your new car, while it is still under the manufacturer's warranty, has not been fixed after three or more attempts, or if your car is out of service being repaired for the same problem more than 15 working days, you may be eligible for a replacement vehicle or a refund of your purchase price, less the cost of the mileage you put on the car, from the dealer.

    View the Mississippi "Lemon" Law/Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act in adobe pdf format.

    Used Automobiles may or may not come with a warranty. Make sure you know if the vehicle you are purchasing comes with a warranty or if you can purchase one. Make sure you understand exactly what is covered by the warranty and get it in writing to avoid disputes in the future.

    "As Is" Automobiles A used automobile may be sold "AS IS" if it is more than six model years old or has more than 75,000 miles on it if the proper “Notification of Exclusion or Modification of Implied Warranty” form is provided. The dealer must inform you that this is an "as is" sale and you must acknowledge your understanding of the same in writing. If you purchase a vehicle "as is" you have no warranty whatsoever and you have no recourse against the dealer if you later have mechanical problems.

    Mechanical Inspection

    If purchasing a used vehicle, be sure to have a mechanic inspect it for you before you purchase it. This way you will have an independent, professional opinion regarding the mechanical soundness of the vehicle. Also, it is recommended you get a Carfax vehicle history report to discover any hidden problems, such as whether or not the vehicle in question has ever been wrecked and repaired. You will need to know the vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number ("VIN") to obtain this report.

    Spot Delivery

    Beware of "spot delivery." This is occurs when a dealership encourages you to take the automobile you are considering buying home to drive around for several days while it arranges your financing. This is a sales tactic. The dealer expects that you will not want to return the vehicle to the dealership after you have shown it to family and friends - even if the financing it has arranged for you exceeds your budget. It is recommended that you do not participate in "spot delivery" at all. However, if you do, get the answers to the following questions in writing and before you drive off the lot:

    • What happens if my financing fails?
    • Do I get my down payment back?
    • Do I get my trade-in back?
    • Will the dealer charge me for mileage?
    • Who pays if I'm in an accident?
    • Above all, do not be pressured into purchasing a car on terms you cannot afford.

    The Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General offers these guidelines and the Model Contract as suggestions to help consumers avoid possible misunderstandings about home improvements. If you follow these guidelines and insist upon a written contract, some of the most common problems with home repair contractors might be avoided. If your contractor does not offer you a written contract, you should ask him to complete and sign the model contract form on the reverse side of these guidelines. If in doubt, or if you are agreeing to spend a lot of money, you should have a local attorney go over your contract before you sign.

    Since our honest builders are so busy, many people are hesitant to demand all of the suggested information for fear of losing the builder. If you have this same concern, just hand the builder this brochure and tell him/her, “The Attorney General said this information is essential.”

    < Printer-Friendly >
    • Get at least three estimates (bids). Be certain each contractor bids on exactly the same work. ALL bids should be itemized and detailed.
    • Know with whom you are dealing and verify the contractor’s address. Request and check references (previous customers, bank references). Inspect work done for others when possible. Make sure the contractor is licensed through the Mississippi Board of Contractors (1-800-880-6161) If he/she is not licensed, do not do business with him/her.
    • Get the name of the contractor’s insurer and bonding company. Call the bonding company and verify that the contractor is insured and for what amount.
    • A reputable contractor can usually charge building materials and does not normally require a large down payment. Where one is required, it should not exceed 10%-25% of the total price. Better yet, accompany the contractor to the building supply store and pay the store for materials yourself. Have the materials delivered to your job site rather than the contractor’s shop.
    • Be specific. Have samples, model numbers, pictures or anything else that will show the contractor exactly what you want. If you don’t specify the quality of materials in the contract, you are leaving it up to the contractor to decide what material will be used.
    • Be certain the materials you have selected are what you want. Changing your mind in the middle of a construction project is costly. If you do change your mind, be prepared to pay more.
    • Get a guarantee in writing. Any contractor not willing to guarantee his/her work is not someone with whom you should be doing business. Accept no verbal agreements. Any changes in the contract should be in writing and initialed by both parties.
    • Specify in the contract a beginning and completion date, exact description of work to be done, total cost of job, exact schedule for payment and warranty or guarantee that can be expected. (If contract is for an hourly rate or on a cost plus basis, get an estimate of the total cost.)
    • Always pay by check or money order and keep a receipt. Write all checks to the company, not the individual worker. Make sure all subcontractors are paid to prevent a lien from being placed against your property.
    • Keep a signed, legible copy of the contract in a safe place.
    • DO NOT sign a certificate of completion or make final payment until you are satisfied with all work performed. Save copies of all material receipts so you can be sure you received goods and services for which you paid.

    NOTE: Often on large projects payment is based on portions of completed work, i.e. 25% of total payment is due when 25% of the work has been satisfactorily completed.

    What are some warning signs of an abusive relationship?

    Domestic abuse is most easily recognized in its physical form. However, many other behaviors can constitute abuse -- behaviors that leave no visible marks, but harm the victim emotionally or psychologically. Recognizing danger signs is often the first step towards safety. Has your intimate partner ever:

    • Beaten, bitten, kicked, punched, slapped or shaken you?
    • Strangled you?
    • Stalked you?
    • Continually criticized you?
    • Manipulated you?
    • Humiliated you?
    • Denied you financial resources?
    • Isolated you from family/friends?
    • Denied you medical attention or medication?
    • Threatened you with weapons?
    • Threatened you with beating or with being killed?
    • Threatened to commit suicide?
    • Threatened your family members and/or children?

    If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be in an abusive relationship and should seek assistance.

    What is Domestic Violence?

    Domestic abuse is a pattern of coercive, controlling behaviors that include, but are not limited to physical assaults, sexual assaults, emotional abuse, isolation, economic coercion, threats, stalking and intimidation. Domestic violence is rooted in a desire by the abuser to establish and maintain power and control over another. Abusive tactics can, and often do, include both criminal and non-criminal acts and are learned through observation, experience, culture and family. Domestic abuse is rarely an isolated event, and often occurs in a cycle, with non-violent periods where the abuser is apologetic and romantic. Domestic violence impacts not only those who are abused, but also witnesses, family members, co-workers, friends and the community at large. Abusers abuse because often there are few, if any, consequences for the behavior. Abusers abuse because they can.

    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE STATISTICS

    • 1 in 4 women will be physically abused during their adult lives.
    • An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.
    • Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.
    • Men are the victims of nearly 3 million intimate partner related physical assaults.
    • Witnessing violence between one’s parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
    • Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.
    • 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household.
    • Almost one-third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner.
    • In 70-80% of intimate partner homicides, no matter which partner was killed, the man physically abused the woman before the murder.

    The Office of the Attorney General is dedicated to improving the lives of Mississippi's youth. The Youth Services Program is committed to ensuring the safety and well being of each child. Prevention efforts continue to reduce juvenile delinquency, truancy, exploitation and child abuse through the creation and promotion of after school programs, mentoring initiatives and training seminars. This office has partnered with many state agencies, as well as, non profit organizations to expand the services available to children in need.

    The Office of the Attorney General is involved in the following programs:

    Youth Patrols
    Youth Patrols are student organizations empowered to assist school administrators in preventing and reporting crime on school campuses. Youth Patrols are supervised by designated faculty. Students patrol the schools in pairs and report potential problems or trespassers via two-way radios; however, students do not intervene. Participating schools receive two-way radios, identifying arm bands, training manuals and posters. This is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Attorney General, Mississippi Crime Stoppers, and the Mississippi Department of Education. For more information you may contact our office at 601-359-4207
    Do the Write Thing
    The Office of the Attorney General works with the Mississippi Department of Education, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and public schools throughout the state in sponsoring an essay contest for seventh and eighth graders. The state winners are accompanied by their teachers to Washington, D.C. where they present their essays on preventing youth violence to their Mississippi congressmen and the Librarian of Congress. The students also have an opportunity to meet with Department of Justice officials to discuss their perspectives on preventing violence.
    Teen Court
    Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program available for certain offenders who have waived all right of confidentiality and privilege against self-incrimination. This is a preventive program for juveniles who are not less than thirteen nor more than seventeen years of age. Students serve as prosecutor, defense counsel, bailiff, court clerk and jurors. The program is to administer the "sentencing" or disposition phase of the proceedings against offenders who elect to participate and who are eligible. The program is under the guidance of the local youth court and must be approved by the local youth court. The youth court judge, or his designee who is a licensed attorney, presides. Any school participating in the Teen Court Program is allowed to credit the time of teachers and students spent in participating in teen court as instructional time. For more information, please visit the YouthCourt Website or contact our office at 601-359-4243.
    Juvenile Drug Court
    Through a grant from the Office of the Attorney General, the first juvenile drug court was established in Natchez, Mississippi. The program works in conjunction with the Adolescent Offender Program and provides needed treatment for those young people with substance and alcohol abuse problems who are in the juvenile justice system.

    A representative from the Crime Prevention and Victims Services Division participates on the Mississippi State Drug Court Advisory Committee, established by the Mississippi Legislature. The Committee makes recommendations to the Chief Justice and the Director of the Administrative Office of Courts concerning improvement in drug court policies and procedures.

    Campaign Against Underage Drinking

    Audio

    Attorney General Jim Hood teamed up with The Federal Trade Commission and The Century Council, a national not-for-profit organization funded by the nation’s leading distillers to launch a public awareness campaign in Mississippi to prevent underage drinking. The initiative called "We Don't Serve Teens," is designed to inform adults that providing underage drinkers with alcohol is unsafe, illegal, and irresponsible. Attorney General Hood is launching a statewide radio campaign in efforts to curb the actions of those who do sale or provide teens with alcohol.

    In 2000 the beer buy rate for Mississippi teens was 20% and in 2006 the buy rate dropped to 6%. “The State statistics show that our efforts are not in vain. I applaud Mississippians who provide our office with tips, said Attorney General Jim Hood, My office is able to follow up on those tips, and work closely with local law enforcement to catch adults who provide teens with alcohol." "Teen drinking is not inevitable," said the FTC's Janet Evans. "All adults can play a role in reducing underage drinking and related injury". According to Susan Molinari, Chairman of The Century Council, sixty-five percent of teens who drink obtain their alcohol from family and friends. Molinari says parents need to know that turning a blind eye is as irresponsible as putting a drink in their children's hands.

    Vulnerable Adult Unit

    The Vulnerable Adults Unit was created by the Attorney General in 2001 in response to the revisions made by the Legislature of the Mississippi Vulnerable Adults Act.

    The Vulnerable Adults Unit investigates and prosecutes persons who abuse, neglect, or exploit a vulnerable adult residing in a private home. Mississippi law defines a vulnerable adult a person, whether a minor or adult whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living is impaired due to a mental, emotional, physical or developmental disability or dysfunction, or brain damage or the infirmities of aging.

    The law also established criminal penalties for committing these offenses ranging from one year in the county jail to 40 years in prison.

    This unit currently consists of one prosecutor and two investigators who coordinate with local law enforcement as well as with the Department of Human Services to guarantee that Mississippi’s vulnerable adults in private homes are protected.

    This unit is also responsible for conducting state-wide training of law enforcement officers , judges, district attorneys, state agencies and investigators at the Department of HS with regard to issues arising under the Vulnerable Adults Act. This training provides insight to street level police officers in the specific areas of recognition of, and proper response to, allegations of exploitation of individuals who meet the criteria under vulnerable adult laws.

    Complaints of abuse or neglect of patients living in health care facilities, such as nursing homes or personal care homes, should be reported to the Medicaid Fraud Unit of the Attorney General’s Office at (601) 359-4220 or toll free 800-852-8341.

    What Should I do if I am a Victim?

    • Contact your local police department and file a report of the theft. Obtain a copy of the report for your records and to assist in clearing your name.
    • Contact any creditors of the accounts that you believe have been corrupted or fraudulently opened. Ask to speak with the fraud or security department and inform them of the theft. Immediately close any existing accounts and open a new account that is protected by a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) and/or password. (Avoid using information that is easily available for your PIN/password. This includes your birthdate, the last four digits of your SSN, your mother's maiden name, and a consecutive series of numbers.) Follow up the call with a letter.
    • Contact the fraud department of one of the three major credit bureaus. (See previously listed toll free numbers.) Inform them that you are an identity theft victim and that you wish to place a fraud alert on your file, as well as a victim's statement requesting a call to you by the credit bureaus before opening or changing credit accounts. Also, request a copy of your credit report. As a result of this one request, all three major credit bureaus will send you a copy of your credit report.
    • File a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or call the FTC's Identity Theft Hotline. 1-877- IDTHEFT (438-4338).
    • Print and complete an Identity Theft Affidavit. Once you've completed the ID Theft Affidavit, gather the following documents: a copy of any documents relating to your identity theft including collection letters, police reports and credit reports; Proof of residency (light, gas or phone bill, etc.) at the time the theft occurred; and a photo ID. It is imperative that you complete the ID Theft Affidavit and return it along with supporting documents to the address below so a criminal investigation may be initiated.

    Identity Theft Prevention

    While total prevention is probably not possible, there are several steps you can take to better protect your personal information from identity thieves.

    Some of the steps include:

    • Order your credit report at least once a year from each of the three major credit bureaus and review them for inaccurate or suspicious material. See the links below to the top three credit reporting agencies.
    • Place passwords on your credit card, debit card, bank, phone, or any other utility accounts you have. Avoid using easily available information such as your mother's maiden name, the last four digits of your Social Security number or your birth date.
    • Consider installing a locking mail box.
    • Carry only the identification cards, credit cards, and debit cards that you absolutely need.
    • Only give your Social Security number when absolutely necessary. Ask if you can use another form of identification.
    • Ask that your Social Security number be removed from your driver's license. You may either have it done for free when it is time to renew your license or pay $5.00 for a replacement or duplicate license.
    • You may also request that your thumb print be placed on your driver's license as an additional security measure. These requests can be made anywhere you can renew your license.
    • Secure all personal information in your home or office.
    • Shred any documents containing personal information before throwing it away. This includes receipts you receive when purchasing goods or services.
    • Update your computer's virus software regularly.
    • If possible, do not store any financial information on your home computer or laptop.
    • Review your credit card and bank statements every month. Look for any charges or withdrawals that you do not recognize.
    • Pay attention to the billing cycles of the various credit accounts you use. If they arrive late, or not at all, contact the appropriate creditor.

    To Order Your Credit Reports:

    Check your Equifax credit report online or call 800-685-1111.

    Check your Experian credit report online or call 888-397-3742.

    Check your TransUnion credit report online or call 800-888-4213.

    How Do Identity Thieves Obtain Your Information and What Do They do With It?

    Identity thieves can gain access to your information several different ways. For example:

    • They steal your purse or wallet containing your drivers license, credit cards, and/or bank cards.
    • They get your information from businesses by stealing from their employer or bribing a dishonest employee who has access to your information.
    • They steal your mail, which could be anything from tax information to pre-approved credit cards.
    • They sift through your trash or the trash of a business.
    • They steal credit and debit card numbers through a process called "skimming."
    • They pose as your employer, landlord, or other person with a legitimate need for your personal information.
    • They steal personal information while they are in your home.

    While this is not an exhaustive list, it illustrates some of the ways identity thieves gain access to your personal information. Once identity thieves have your information there are many options available for its use. A few of them are:

    • Going on shopping sprees to buy items for their personal use or to sell.
    • Changing your mailing address for existing credit accounts so that you do not become aware of the theft.
    • Selling your personal and business information to other identity thieves.
    • Counterfeiting checks or debit cards in order to empty your personal or business bank accounts.
    • Opening new credit or bank accounts.
    • Obtaining loans or utility accounts in your name.
    • Buying "big ticket" personal items, such as cars, or even real estate in your name.
    • Filing bankruptcy in your name in order to escape the debts they have incurred.
    • Giving your name to police when they are arrested.

    Identity Theft

    DEAR MISSISSIPPI CONSUMERS

    The ease with which identity theft can be accomplished has made it the fastest growing white-collar crime in the United States today. Identity thieves use your personal information, such as Social Security number, birth date, bank information, credit card number, phone number, or any number of other bits of information, in order to commit fraud or theft.

    While identity theft is not a violent crime, it is serious. Cleaning up the problems caused by an identity thief can take months or years and cost the victim hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. In some cases victims have been denied credit, turned down for jobs, and, in what some would consider the worst case scenario, arrested for crimes they did not commit.

    In order to protect yourself, it is important to take steps to shield your personal information. I hope this material will assist you in protecting your good name.

    If my office can be of further assistance to you, please contact us.

    Prosecutor Training

    State, Federal, and local prosecutors in Mississippi represent victims of crime in the criminal justice legal system, by presenting the facts and evidence of a criminal case in court, and ensuring that a victim's story is heard. It is crucial for Mississippi's prosecutors to be constantly updated as law changes, scientific advancements, and new technology come at a rapid pace.

    The Attorney General’s Prosecutor Training Division develops and coordinates continuing legal education classes and conferences for full time and part-time prosecutors across the State of Mississippi. Two major conferences and several customized training classes each year provide prosecutors with resources and information that are needed to help prosecutors protect the rights of our citizens who are victimized.

    DirecTV Consumer Refund Program

    As part of a $13.25 million dollar national settlement announced on December 15, 2010, a consumer refund program has been established. Unresolved complaints previously sent to DIRECTV or the Attorney General that involve conduct addressed in the settlement and which occurred after January 1, 2007 are eligible for the restitution program. Additionally, consumers can file a complaint with DIRECTV or the Attorney General by June 9, 2011 to be considered for the restitution program as long as the complaint is about activity that occurred after January 1, 2007. DIRECTV will attempt to resolve the complaints with consumers. If the complaint cannot be resolved, DIRECTV shall inform the consumer that the complaint can be resolved by a Claims Administrator and mail a Claim Form to the consumer. The Claims Administrator will then resolve the dispute between the consumer and DIRECTV.

    The conduct addressed in the settlement included complaints that DIRECTV:

    • Did not clearly disclose to consumers the price that the consumer would be charged and the commitment term that the consumer would be required to keep DIRECTV services
    • Did not clearly disclose to consumers limitations on getting a certain price for DIRECTV
    • Enrolled consumers in additional contracts or contract terms without clearly disclosing the terms to the consumer
    • Enrolled consumers in additional contracts when replacing defective equipment
    • Did not clearly disclose to consumers that they would automatically renew a seasonal sports package
    • Offered cash back to consumers when the consumer would actually receive bill credits

    For additional information, consumers may visit the website (http://www.directv.com/ag). Consumers may also call 1-800-DIRECTV or the Attorney Generals's Office at 1-800-281-4418 or 601-359-4230.

    Knockout Knockoffs Campaign

    Anti-Bullying Campaign

    "The anonymity and distance provided by the internet through social networking sites and text messaging on cellular telephones have caused an explosion in the number of incidents of cyberbullying," said Attorney General Jim Hood. "This carries over into the schools in the form of bullying. The psychological impact, particularly among preteen and teenage girls, has lead to teen suicide and could have lasting psychological effects on our children. Through our Fear Stops Here campaign we are trying to educate seventh graders who will lead their school's efforts in the fight against bullying and educate parents of bullied children that there are resources available."

    "Everyone, from the Mississippi Board of Education to local school personnel, is taking this issue very seriously. We recognize that strong anti-bullying policies are just one important piece of ensuring that students remain safe and ready to learn," Dr. Tom Burnham, State Superintendent of Education said. "Through the Fear Stops Here campaign, we want to continue educating our students on the importance of communicating any bullying related issue so that no one will feel intimidated by their peers."

    An awareness PSA, featuring real Mississippi students, has been created for the campaign and can be seen at www.fearstopshere.com. The website will also house a collection of bullying resources for parents, students and teachers.

    Imported Drywall

    Imported Drywall

    There have been complaints from Mississippians of dangerous imported drywall from China being found in their homes. Drywall, also known as wallboard, is a layer of gypsum pressed between two sheets of paper and is used to construct walls and ceilings in houses. Most drywall used by American home builders is made in the United States, but shortages at the peak of the housing boom in recent years spurred imports from China.

    In recent months, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has received numerous reports from people in 19 states and the District of Columbia involving odors, health symptoms and corrosion problems they blame on imported drywall. The complaints involve ?rotten egg? smells and corrosion of wiring and other metals in the homes. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has created a drywall information center on its website giving consumers information on how to check for imported drywall in their homes. Click here to visit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission?s website.

    If you believe you were sold Imported Chinese DryWall, please file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of our office. Download our consumer complaint form.

    If you believe you have imported drywall in your home, please notify the Mississippi Department of Health.

    Address Confidentiality Program

    Address Confidentiality Program

    The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, who have moved to a new location unknown to their abuser or stalker, keep their new location confidential from their abuser or stalker. While not a witness protection program or a total guarantee of safety, the ACP along with other components of an overall safety plan can help victims as they work to increase their overall safety.

    How it Works

    When a victim becomes an ACP participant they are provided a substitute address designated by the Office of the Attorney General. The ACP participant may then request that a state or local government agency use the substitute address for services such as obtaining a Mississippi driver license, registering to vote, or enrolling in a public school. If a public records request is made, the ACP participant?s actual residence remains confidential, while the substitute address becomes the address of public record.

    Mail received at the substitute address is processed by the Office of the Attorney General and all first class mail is forwarded to an ACP participant at their residential address.

    The ACP is a free program administered by the Mississippi Office of the Attorney General for eligible victims residing in Mississippi.

    How to Apply

    In order to request this service, the victim is required to meet with an ACP Certified Application Assistant (CAA). CAAs are located in domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers. To find your nearest CAA, please refer to the domestic violence shelter and rape crisis center links below. NOTE: The Office of the Attorney General cannot accept applications directly from a person wishing to enroll in the program.

    For more information contact The Office of the Attorney General?s Address Confidentiality Program at 1-800-829-6766 or 601-359-6766.

    Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Mississippi's Settlement with Microsoft

    Click Here to file a claim in Mississippi's settlement with Microsoft.
    WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

    Almost any Citizen living in Mississippi or business located in Mississippi who bought Microsoft Windows, Office, Excel, or Word products for use on a personal computer from January 1, 1996 thru June 11, 2009. More specifically, all persons, businesses, or entities who or which reside or are located in Mississippi and who or which, between January 1, 1996 and June 11, 2009, purchased a license for a Microsoft Operating System product for use on a personal computer or a license for Microsoft Office, Excel or Word. (Click here for the actual list of eligible products, also listed in Appendix A-1,2, and 3 of the Settlement Agreement.) County, local and municipal government entities, public schools and public school districts that are not State entities are also eligible. The purchased product must have been for use in Mississippi and cannot have been purchased for the purpose of resale.

    HOW DO I APPLY FOR A VOUCHER?

    Once the period for challenging the settlement has expired, Microsoft will provide notice to eligible applicants. Advertisements will be placed in newspapers and several announcements will be posted on the Internet (including on Microsoft?s own website). Eligible applicants might also be contacted by email or regular mail to the extent Microsoft has an address. The notice will provide a claim form that you will have to fill out and return to the settlement administrator. You do not need proof of purchase, but you must submit a sworn statement in support of your claims. CLICK HERE to view voucher information in adobe pdf.

    CONSUMER VOUCHER

    Consumer Customers are purchasers who received their licenses for a covered Microsoft product by purchasing it from a retailer (either at a store, by mail, or the Internet) or who received their license for a covered Microsoft product with the purchase of a computer and do not qualify as Volume Licensing Customers. To obtain the Claim Form, please click HERE.

    VOLUME LICENSING VOUCHER

    Volume Licensing Customers are purchasers who licensed multiple copies through Microsoft Open, Select, or Enterprise Agreement licensing plans. To obtain the Claim Form, please click HERE. Volume Licensing Customers may also have obtained one or more covered Microsoft products outside Microsoft?s volume licensing programs.

    HOW DO I REDEEM MY VOUCHER?

    The vouchers are not redeemable for cash by themselves, and they cannot be presented directly to a retailer or computer manufacturer for an instant rebate. Once you apply and receive the voucher, you must purchase a qualifying piece of hardware or software. You can then send the voucher(s) along with the proof of purchase to the Settlement Administrator to receive a cash rebate for the total amount of your voucher(s) (as long as it is equal to or less than the purchase price of the hardware/software).

    WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR FILING A CLAIM?

    All Claim Forms must be postmarked by October 16, 2009. In the event the total value of vouchers claimed by Eligible Purchasers exceeds $60 million, vouchers will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with priority determined by the date of receipt of the submitted claim forms.

    Qualifying hardware includes almost any personal desktop or laptop computer, including Macintosh or PC computers. Also, any software that will run on a personal computer, whether made by Microsoft or not, qualifies. Although you may make only one claim during the one-year period, you may submit as many vouchers as you have at that time?i.e., you can combine all of your vouchers.

    RELATED INFORMATION

    Outside Legal Counsel


    The Office of Attorney General historically handles more than 3,000 civil cases at any given time. Of those, approximately 95 percent are litigated by Special Assistant Attorneys General who are full-time state employees.

    In accordance with state law, the Attorney General also periodically enters into contracts with private lawyers and law firms outside of the Office. In those small percentage of cases handled by private counsel, the Attorney General enters into either a fixed hourly rate or contingency fee contract. All contracts between the Attorney General's Office and private attorneys are freely available for inspection and are a matter of public record. Regardless of the type of contract entered into, the Attorney General's Office maintains full control over the litigation. The office supervises the work of the private attorneys and decides all litigation strategy matters.

    The overwhelming majority of contracts with private counsel are fixed hourly rate contracts. Generally, the Attorney General's Office will retain private counsel on a fixed hourly rate when the litigation involves specialized areas of knowledge or practice in which the State of Mississippi would be better served by an attorney with specific expertise. For example, private attorneys have been retained in the specialized areas of eminent domain, bankruptcy, and copyright infringement. There are also a small number of instances in which private counsel are retained because ethics rules create a conflict which prohibit the case from being handled by our in-house Special Assistant Attorneys General.

    With respect to hourly contracts, the Attorney General diligently negotiates the lowest possible fees and compares rates between interested and qualified law firms. The rates agreed to in these contracts are most often below the hourly rate paid by private clients for similar work. Also, the Attorney General requires the same detailed hourly invoices and time records as do private clients. As would a private client, the Attorney General's Office reviews the hourly time sheets of the private attorneys and does not pay for hours or expenses the office deems to be excessive.

    Of the small number of cases in which private attorneys are used, an even smaller number are handled on a contingency fee contract basis. Contingency fee contracts are used when the litigation will require large expenditures of funds for numerous attorneys, expert witnesses, travel, and document management. The Office of the Attorney General does not have a sufficient number of attorneys to devote to such projects or the budget funds necessary to cover expenses. The private attorneys are compensated for their work through contingency fees - meaning they are paid only in the event of a successful outcome on behalf of the State. Utilizing outside counsel on a contingency fee basis saves the State from such expenses and protects the State should the litigation not result in recovery. The Attorney General's Office standard contingency fee contract contains a fee schedule that is significantly below the rates paid by private clients and is also below established bar rates. A private attorney may be authorized to pursue a contingency fee case on behalf of the State, if he or she brings the particular matter to the attention of the Attorney General's Office. However, the Attorney General must first determine whether the particular matter has merit and will benefit the State; whether the Attorney General's Office can handle the case in house; and, if not, whether the outside attorney(s) has sufficient resources and skill to handle the litigation. If the attorney does not have the resources, then he or she still has the case, but must associate counsel with the resources.

    All contracts of employment of outside counsel are public record. The Office of Attorney General is diligent in its efforts to make these available to interested persons. The following contracts represent active contingency fee cases. This list will be updated periodically as cases are resolved and new cases are added.

    How can I tell if I am a Victim?

    Despite your best efforts, you may still become a victim of identity theft. Determining if you have become a victim usually requires some investigation on your part. Some ways to ascertain whether or not you are a victim include:

    • reviewing your bank and credit accounts for unexplained charges;
    • failing to receive bills or bank statements on a timely basis;
    • receiving calls from creditors regarding accounts you never opened; or
    • denial of credit despite a good credit history or other legitimate reason.

    Cyber Warnings

    Dangers of downloading Free File Sharing programs
    Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Christian Music Trade Association FBI - Anti-Piracy Warning Webopedia - When is downloading music illegal?
    TOP TEN P2P (Peer to Peer) SOFTWARE PROGRAMS
    1. eDonkey / OverneteDonkey/Overnet is a state-of-the-art P2P file sharing software system. Especially popular in Europe, the two P2P networks eDonkey and Overnet combined support a large base of users and files. The eDonkey P2P client connects to both networks; the Overnet client is being merged into future releases of eDonkey. eDonkey runs on Windows, Linux and Macintosh computers. The free version of eDonkey contains embedded advertising but none of the dreaded "spyware" found in some free file sharing software. 2. Shareaza is an up-and-coming P2P file sharing program. This client offers an extremely powerful search engine capable of connecting to multiple popular P2P networks including eDonkey, BitTorrent and Gnutella. Shareaza file sharing software includes intelligence for detecting fake and/or corrupted files. The free Shareaza download also contains no ads or spyware. As the installed base of Shareaza client users grows, expect Shareaza to become an even better P2P file sharing program. 3. WinMXWinMX offers a large P2P file sharing network and a feature-rich client program that has evolved over years of development. True, WinMX has a reputation for being complex and more difficult to use than some alternatives. However, WinMX also provides power to users in managing their downloads, and it offers a wide selection of music (MP3) files. Some WinMX users report waiting in long queues to download popular files. WinMX software runs only on the Windows family of operating systems. 4. BitTorrent is another free P2P software application. It has attracted a loyal following among those interested in sharing movies and television programs. The offical BitTorrent P2P client generally does not support bandwidth throttling, meaning that it will tend to monopolize a network connection and not allow surfing the Internet or otherwise utilizing the network while files are being downloaded or uploaded. A freely-available alternative BitTorrent client overcomes this limitation. 5. Limewire P2P file sharing program connects to the Gnutella P2P network. Limewire client software is widely recognized for its clean user interface that does not contain adware. Sometimes billed as the "fastest file sharing program," Limewire claims to offer relatively good search and download performance. Free Limewire software downloads are available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh operating systems. Limewire Pro pay clients also exist. 6. Morpheus P2P client application downloads exist in both free and paid Ultra versions. Compared to the free version, the Morpheus Ultra download additionally removes bundled advertising. Morpheus clients are capable of searching Gnutella2, FastTrack, eDonkey2K and Overnet P2P networks. 7. eMule project started with the goal of building an improved free eDonkey client. eMule has achieved a large user base, connecting both to the eDonkey P2P file sharing network and a few others. It contains no advertising, and its software base is well-maintained by an open source development team. The chief limitation of eMule's P2P file sharing program is its speed: eMule typically performs downloading much slower than other P2P clients. 8. Ares is a full-featured free P2P network with its own file sharing programs including Ares Galaxy. Ares clients support decentralized music and other file sharing and include a built-in chat service. Ares strives to offer the simplicity of Kazaa clients with no adware and fast connection times. 9. BearShare P2P file sharing program is a popular free software client for the Gnutella P2P network. Both free and pay downloads of BearShare file sharing programs exist. 10. Kazaa software family (including the Kazaa Lite family of applications) has been the single-most popular P2P file sharing program / system of all time. Kazaa is fast and easy to use. However Kazaa software and the FastTrack network it utilizes appear to be declining rapidly in popularity and availability of files. Some have criticized the intrusiveness of "adware" embedded in free Kazaa clients. Others have complained about the frequency of encountering fake files on FastTrack.
