a work-at-home scam that bilked victims out of millions of dollars. how you can protect yourself... a kid takes his love for one video game way too far. how it led to kidnapping and several car accidents. police...

in louisiana... say... a... 20-year-old man... told them... he wanted to see... what it felt like... to... play real- life... grand theft auto... / a... video game... where players... car-jack.../ and... drive out of control. police... say... he kidnapped a woman... stole a truck... nd... rammed into... several parked cars.../. the woman... was able to jump out... while... he drove... into nine vehicles.../. when officers...

questioned... the 20-year-old,.../ he... told them... he wanted to see... what... it was really like... to... live... what he was playing... in the video game.../. he now faces... nine charges. what's wrong with many of those work- at- home job offers you see advertised? well... a large number of them are scams... that will cost you more than you will ever make. (v/o) for just $6- thousand dollars and a one day course - job seekers were told they could learn to do medical billing --working from home-- and earn big bucks. (terrence sullivan, us postal inspector) "they would be told there would be no need to market the services the demand was so great for medical billing that they wouldn't even need to knock on doctors' doors - doctors would be seek them out." (v/o) the company- edi-lured in victms by telling them they could earn $12-hundred dollars a month and that edi would help them find clients. (terrence sullivan, us postal inspector) "edi would provide

them with a couple of firms or doctors' offices or chiropractors or medical laboratories that would be in their area." (v/o) the problem? the whole thing was a scam. (terrence sullivan, us postal inspector) "in this particular case it was always a fraud, there was no demand for the medical billing service they were offering." (v/o) victims lost the $6-thousand dollar fee they paid for the program as well as money spent flying to a one day training session in detorit. in all: 35- hundred victims and more than $17 million dollars in losses. postal inspectors say the majority of people who signed up for the course never found a single client, never processed a single claim and never made a dime. inspectors say be wary of work at home opportunities. (terrence sullivan, us postal inspector) "no one is going to pay you big money and not ask you to put out a lot of effort. they really take advantage of people in a desperate situation." the federal trade commission also alleged that edi failed to provide consumers with

information required by the franchise rule. courts granted the f-t-c's request for a temporary restraining order and asset freeze. soon after, the defendants agreed to a preliminary injunction that bars edi from selling further business opportunities. an oregon man finds a very sweet surprise inside a box of cookies... besides the tasty treats themselves.
