Cyber Crime Complaint Centers: How far can these portals be able to help you?

We're on top of the search engines. As such, people from everywhere seek our assistance. India, UAE, Pakistan, USA, and the Philippines. We are the first online non-government cyber crime complaint center portal. And we are the only Philippine-based, Filipino-owned Cyber Crime Complaint Center that is on top of the search engines' page results. In fact, ours is the only Cyber Crime Complaint Center Site that is on top of both the Google and Yahoo search engines. Needless to say, we have several three Cyber Crime Complaint Center sites that are on Top 10 of the Yahoo search engines.

People who saw our Cyber Crime Complaint Center site, the http://www.cybercrimecomplaintcenter.com, are desperate people who are victims of cyber related crimes. Desperate because they have tried all means possible to seek help from traditional channels; the police, the authorities involved in Cyber Crime Cases. In fact, these people who are victims of Cyber Crimes has already initiated the preliminary "investigations" of finding the IP addresses used by their "perpetrators" in inflicting them damage online. They have provided the authorities with these IP addresses and other valuable data to track and trace the perpetrators and yet they wait in vain for the results that never came. How far can the authorities be able to help you?

You already have the IP addresses and the authorities would ask first for a court order. The situation is likened to the chicken-or-egg thing on which came first. Court orders are issued only upon probable cause which would require the real party-in-interest under whose name every action, criminal or civil, will be prosecuted or defended. So how in heaven can you produce a court order without finding first the identity of your suspect and the circumstances that will help the court find probable cause?

There is also this one case we handled recently involving credit card fraud where the culprit has already been identified and all the client seek from the authorities is the assistance for an entrapment which client has enticed the perpetrators to get into. The authorities demanded something more that makes life more difficult for the complainant. They demanded that the object of the purchase be produced and that expensive gadget will stay under court custody until the judgment be rendered in favor of the complainant. How far can your Cyber Crime Complaint Center Portal be able to extend help?

In that later case, we drafted the Complaint Affidavit and hand-carried the same to the authorities. We painstakingly explained that the entrapment operation will be based not on the crime of robbery-extortion but on a particular law cited in the complaint for credit card fraud. Simply stated, the crime has already been consummated by mere illegal use of an access device (credit card) and not by the delivery of the thing which was the object of the purchase. Hence, the delivered "item" in a sealed envelop need not be the one which was the actual object of the purchase or its cash equivalent. A few cash bundled in a coupon bond would do. What is important in the entrapment is for the "buyer" to show up, with his fake ID, and receive the goods after counter-signing the delivery receipt. We were actively present during the pre-operation and the post operation entrapment procedures. The entrapment operation was a success. Two persons were arrested. The one who signed the delivery receipt and his companion who served as a look out.

But hey, our client's suffering in the hands of the authorities did not end there. The one who served as a lookout were later released after undergoing the medical check up and scheduled for inquest. He was released because, according to the authorities, he merely served as a lookout. He did not perform any overt acts other than being with the buyer at that time. For God's sake, this is a case of credit card fraud and not robbery-extortion. What overt acts are they talking about?

Now, ask yourself this. Was justice fully served? Will you go after the authorities who released him? How far can your Cyber Crime Complaint Center Portal be able to extend help?
