HSBC Holdings Plc’s Swiss private bank was an “open door” for money laundering and terrorist finance because managers failed to exercise controls, said Herve Falciani, a former software technician accused of stealing data.

HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA) n sveitsiläinen yksityinen pankki oli “avoin ovi” rahanpesun ja terrorismin rahoituksen koska johtajat laiminlöivät valvontaa, sanoi Herve Falciani, entinen ohjelmisto teknikko syytetään varastaa tietoja.

Falciani tehdyt huomautukset eilen, kun Espanjan syyttäjä kysyi, oliko HSBC: n Genevessä toimiva yksikkö pöytäkirjat rahanpesun tai terrorismin rahoituksen valvontaa. “Pankki näin häpeällistä toimia,” hän sanoi.

Falciani esiintyy kansallisen tuomioistuimen Madridissa taistelemaan luovutuspyynnön Sveitsin viranomaiset.

HSBC, Euroopan suurin pankki markkina-arvo on sanonut, sai tietää 2008 Falciani oli varastettu lisätietoja 24000 tilejä oma pankista Genevessä. Falciani yhteistyössä Ranskan tutkijat, jotka käyttivät tiedot etsiä petoksentekijöistä ja samaa tietoa Italian, Espanjan ja Britannian syyttäjät. Espanjan syyttäjäviranomaisen vastustavat Sveitsin luovutuspyynnön, koska Falciani n toimet eivät ole rikos Espanjassa, sanoi syyttäjä Dolores Delgado.

“Emme ole voinut valvoa lausuntoja, jotka tänään esitettiin,” David Bruegger, HSBC: n yksityinen pankki, Zürich-pohjainen tiedottaja sanoi sähköpostitse ilmoitus tänään. “Kuten luovutuspyynnön päässä Sveitsin liittovaltion syyttäjä, HSBC ei osallistu tämä ja emme siis ota kantaa.”

This is going to be my second post on scams. Earlier I had posted how I was about to get scammed in the posts how to avoid charitable donation scams. Last week I was reading a scam story, where a buyer bid and won three iPhones at a cheap price. The seller had good reputation and 100% positive feedback. Seller was throughout very quick to respond. Read more this original page to find out what actually happened then?

The story motivated me in to writing this topic for today. A little help to prevent fraud happening in your life.

Everyone likes a good deal – especially on items that tend to be more expensive, like jewelry and collectibles.  As such, more people are turning to online auction sites like eBay to find these kinds of great deals.  But the trouble with buying online is that there are unscrupulous sellers out there, and you need to know what to look for.  Here are some tips to avoid scams when buying jewelry and other collectibles from online auction sites.

Only Use Reputable Sellers

The first thing to check when buying online is to only use reputable sellers.  People who sell jewelry online, or other collectibles, know that their reputation is everything.  If a buyer is going to shell out thousands of dollars, they want a sense of trust.  And online, that all comes down to feedback.

Make sure that you only deal with sellers who have a positive feedback rating over 98%, and who have transactions under their belt.  An example that could be a scam is a new seller, with only one or two transactions over the last week.  Most sellers who sell collectibles will have lots of transactions over several years.

Also, look for sellers who have sold expensive items before.  This can give you a sense that they know what they are doing.  If the seller has only sold $10 electronic accessories, and is now listing a $5,000 diamond ring, this could be a red flag.  The bottom line is that you should check the feedback profile carefully.

Look For Verification

Most sellers who sell coins or other collectibles of high value usually seek out verification to give buyers confidence – for example, getting a PayPal verified seal.  This can give confidence that the seller has provided additional identification to eBay and their payment processor PayPal.

Verify the Description and Pictures

After checking the seller out in-depth, you need to do your due diligence on the item being sold.  Even reputable sellers could inadvertently post something that is not legitimate.  When buying something, look at the pictures in detail.  Most sellers of high value items will post a lot of pictures and be sure to highlight all the key features.  There should also be a description to match.

If something is not clear, make sure you ask for clarification.  Honest sellers will provide a quick and appropriate response, where as scams will probably not answer at all, or just point you back to the listing.  If something doesn’t seem right, don’t buy it!

Read the Policies

Finally, make sure that you understand the sellers policies.  Reputable sellers must include a return policy per eBay guidelines.  The more honest sellers will clearly post it, and make sure that the buyer knows it will be honored.  Also, make sure that you check the shipping and handling policies as well.  Reputable sellers charge fair shipping and handling prices, where scams sometimes post very high “handling” charges for small items.  Make sure the shipping and handling makes sense.

Read items Description thoroughly

Read each and every word on the item, does that look fake? Does the description look genuine. Does the picture of the item look real to you? If possible go to the manufacturer page and try to find out if there’s any difference between auction sellers description vs. manufacturer’s description. Any mismatch can raise a red flag!

At the end, always remember the thumb rule, if it seems too good to be true it definitely is. Wikipedia has a great resource on internet fraud, reading which I really feel that today’s scammers are brainy people, if you neglect a little bit, you’ll be scammed. You can get enough information about avoiding scam on government website.

Readers, did you ever face a fraud or a scam? Want to share your experience?

As the global luxury car sales contest started, Mercedes-Benz falls further with the rivals BMW and Audi. Burdened by a disjointed strategy in China, the lethargic expansion of entry-level models and an aging S-class sedan, the once-dominant upscale nameplate remains firmly in third place. The said car sales contest dragged the Mercedes sales gap with second-placed Audi which has more than doubled within a year.

An analyst, Christian Ludwig with Backhaus Lampe in Dusseldorf said that Mercedes’s problems are homemade problems. And so with this, it’s going to be extremely difficult for Mercedes to reach the No. 1 spot while others are not sleeping upgrading and keep on taking number of approaches to remain on top. On the first nine months of 2012, Mercedes delivered 964,900 cars and sport-utility vehicles. The 5 percent gain failed to keep pace with rivals, meaning it lagged Audi by 132,600 vehicles, up from 53,900 a year ago. The gap to No. 1 BMW widened 41 percent to 145,000 vehicles, according to data from the carmakers released by BP Holdings Blog. Mercedes has been trailing its rivals since losing the top spot in the luxury-car segment to BMW in 2005. The Daimler unit’s sales will have advanced 19 percent through this year, compared with a 31 percent jump by BMW and a 70 percent surge by Audi over the past seven years, according to IHS Automotive estimates.

The failure to keep pace is reflected in the stock. Daimler’s 12 percent increase over the past 12 months trails BMW’s 18 percent gain and Audi parent Volkswagen’s 44 percent surge. Daimler trades at 7.5 times estimated earnings versus 8 times for BMW. BP Holdings Blog mentioned in the release, Zetsche is seeking to reverse the trend by adding less-expensive compact models, including a four-door coupe and a sport-utility vehicle, to attract younger buyers and by expanding the range of variants of the S-class flagship, which is in the last year of the current generation.

MOSCOW – British oil giant BP said Friday it is considering selling its 50 percent stake in its Russian joint venture TNK-BP, in a deal that could fetch at least $15 billion. TNK-BP, Russia’s third-largest oil producer, is a joint venture between BP and AAR, a consortium of Russian billionaire shareholders. The company has been mired in a corporate dispute after AAR blocked BP’s deal with another Russian oil company, Rosneft. BP said in a statement Friday that it has received “unsolicited indications of interest” for its share in TNK-BP and is looking to pursue a potential sale which is “consistent with BP’s commitment to maximizing shareholder value.” TNK-BP represents 27 of BP’s reserves and 29 percent of its production, according to the British company’s latest annual report. BP’s spokesman in Russia, Vladimir Buyanov, told The Associated Press that the information about the potential buyer is confidential. He declined to specify whether the offer might have come from the Russian shareholders. Buyanov said the shareholders’ agreement between BP and AAR requires both parties to notify the other of offers to acquire their holdings. BP’s 50 percent stake in the Russian oil producer could fetch more than $15 billion as TNK-BP’s market capitalization, based on its share prices at the Russian MICEX stock exchange, hovered around $31.5 billion Friday afternoon. But in Moscow TNK-BP’s shares at the MICEX slumped by 6 percent in afternoon trading. BP, however, stressed that “there can be no guarantee that any transaction will take place.” BP’s announcement was welcomed by investors in London, who bid up the shares in the company by 1.57 percent to 401.1 pence in morning trading. AAR has previously indicated that it could be interested in raising its stake in TNK-BP. AAR’s spokesman in Moscow declined to comment any aspect of BP’s announcement. TNK-BP’s CEO Mikhail Fridman, one of the members of AAR, unexpectedly stepped down on Monday. In an interview with the Russian daily Kommersant he cited tensions between the shareholders as a reason for his departure and said the parity ownership of TNK-BP no longer works. Fridman said in the interview that AAR could be interested in increasing its stake, but it would also consider selling some of its stake in exchange for BP shares. Although one of Russia’s most lucrative oil assets, TNK-BP has been mired in boardroom disputes for most of its nine-year history.. At the height of the previous shareholder conflict in 2008, TNK-BP’s CEO Robert Dudley left Russia complaining of what he described as a campaign of “harassment.” Fridman’s appointment as interim CEO in 2009 and a new shareholder agreement helped reconcile the two rival groups of shareholders. But tensions resurfaced last year when AAR blocked a potentially huge agreement between BP and Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft. TNK-BP’s Russian shareholders claimed that such a deal should be pursued through the joint venture. Jonathan Jackson, head of equities at London-based Killik & Co., said it was difficult to put a price on BP’s stake. “At the time of the Rosneft/Arctic deal, BP is believed to have made a cash and joint offer (with Rosneft) of $27 billion for its 50 percent stake. However, AAR appears to have demanded $35 billion, and also asked for a 10 percent stake in BP and Rosneft, as well as cash,” he said. “As for potential buyers, clearly Rosneft stands out, although Gazprom, Russia’s largest gas producer, may also have an interest.” Rosneft’s chairman, and Russia’s former deputy prime minister, Igor Sechin said on Friday that the state-owned company hasn’t considered this investment. “We have never thought about it,” he said in comments carried by Russian news agencies on the sidelines of a summit in Berlin. The venture has provided lofty dividends for both parties. Over the past years, TNK-BP’s output has accounted for more than a quarter of BP’s total global production. The British oil company drew some $3.7 billion in dividends from the venture last year alone, receiving a total of $19 billion since the company’s formation in 2003.In the company’s annual report filed in March, BP chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg was bullish about Russian and the TNK-BP partnership. “Russia is particularly important for BP,” Svanberg wrote in the report. “This region still has excellent potential for BP and we remain committed to it.” When a shareholder questioned the Russian investment at BP’s annual general meeting in April, BP CEO Bob Dudley said that the thwarted Rosneft deal had created “a lot of noise.” But he contended that the Russian links were good business and urged shareholders to “look through the noise and look at the numbers.
