Seim took action because he says unmarked patrols leave citizens guessing as to whether they are being pulled over by a cop or by an impersonator. He wants to ensure patrol cars are properly marked as police vehicles so that people don’t pull over into traps of a more criminal nature.

Nigerian criminals behind purchase order frauds use fake or stolen e-mail addresses to deceive retailers, as shown in the example at left. They also dupe individuals who are the victims of online romance or work from home scams to re-ship merchandise out of the country, as seen in the example at right.

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley spoke candidly about the problems facing the black community when appearing on a Philadelphia radio station, accusing \”unintelligent,\” \”brainwashed\” African-Americans of keeping successful ones down.

Barkley went on a long monologue on the subject: \”Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.\”

Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of \”acting white\” by their peers. \”One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.\”

\”There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success,\” he continued. \”It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…\”

\”We’re the only ethnic group who say, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.\”
