Hi guys
I wanted some achademic help. its part of a 500 word eassay.
I need to identify the laws broken when a AFF (advance fee fraud) scam takes place. I am under the assumption that the Fraud Act would be most relevent.
note - need to relate the laws to recoverable evidence which is admissible.
Thank You,

InPrivate,
You stand a much better chance of receiving a response if you can outline what other research you have already undertaken (please refer to the forum guidelines sent when you registered or review them again here).

well due to the really small word count, it needs to concise.
i have looked at the DPA act, RIPA act and CMA act but its difficult to put the actions of the scammer in relation to the parts of the act.
in regards to evidence i have researched email forensics (spam email - there is also a act which relates to spam email)
sorry hope that helps
Search law journals, court reports and news articles for past cases in relation to this type of fraud. See what suspects have been charged with and see whether they have been convicted.
It may be worth contacting law firms, explain that you are a student and you may find people will help you with specific cases.
The charge may vary from case to case depending on what evidence is available.
Thank you, your responses have beenr really helpful
