telemarketing fraud and endorsement

Part I

Telemarketing fraud is a widespread type of white-collar crime. Elderly victims are often specifically targeted.

  • Why is telemarketing fraud so difficult to prevent or prosecute?
  • In what ways have the Internet and social media made telemarketing fraud a bigger problem?
  • What characteristics of the elderly make them attractive targets for perpetrators of phone fraud?

In addition, elderly victims are more susceptible to religious and charity-based scams. It is especially difficult to prosecute religious organizations when they are suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities.

  • What characteristics of these large religious organizations make investigation difficult?
  • How can law enforcement work around these issues?

Part II

Celebrities often endorse products. For example, Michael Jordan promotes Hanes underwear and Jennifer Garner promotes a credit card.

  • How much responsibility should a celebrity endorser bear if the product they promote turns out to be fraudulent, unsafe, or harmful in some way?
  • Describe a real-life example of a celebrity endorsing a harmful or illegal product. Explain why he or she should not be endorsing that product.
