'INTERNET SEO, SEM, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?'

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) are two of the most powerful tools for advertisers on the Internet. Almost all companies in all fields use SEO and/or SEM in one way or another. It generates leads, sales and results. However, you really must know how to use it effectively because it can drain your marketing budget if you do not.

There are many other ways to promote your business or product on the Internet. Some cost money and believe it or not, some do not. Here is a perfect example of free advertising and marketing on the Internet. It is called Article Writing. This is how it works. Write an article, just like the two shown above, on a topic you are familiar with. Get it published on the Internet and get it in front of millions of eyes to read. Of course you have to do some research and take the time to find publishers and write a good article. However, it really, really works and best of all it is FREE.

"What? A Porsche For Under $25,000"

You see a classified ad for a late model luxury or exotic pre-owned car – a BMW, Lamborghini, Porsche or Bentley. But the price advertised is thousands of dollars less than what you would expect to pay. When you contact the seller, he says that his family has large medical bills or credit card debt and he needs cash quickly. It all sounds legitamit and you cannot believe your luck!

You decide to jump at the bargain. You arrange a meeting to inspect the car and even have it taken to your mechanic. The car is in great condition says your mechanic and he too can't believe the price. You transfer the titles at the state motor vehicle office and pay the owner cash. Once completed, he disappears with your $50,000 (or more) and you enjoy driving your beautiful luxury/exotic car for a few days – until the police knock on your door and inform you that the car you are driving is stolen! You have just lost your cash and your car and joined the ranks of victims of a growing scam called vehicle identification number (VIN) cloning.

State motor vehicle offices require a VIN to match the registration and/or title of a vehicle. A VIN cloner takes a unique identification number from a legally owned or junked vehicle and uses it to forge documents for a stolen vehicle of a similar make and model. CARFAX, a business that sells vehicle history information, estimates that more than 225,000 of the 1.5 million vehicles stolen each year end up with VINs from a legally owned vehicle and are resold. According to CARFAX calculations, VIN cloning costs consumers and insurance companies $4 billion each year.

VIN cloners typically steal VINs from high-end, luxury vehicles and expensive SUVs because they can command a higher price in the used-car market than standard makes and models. The numbers are often stolen by thieves strolling through parking lots (VINs may be found on the dashboard, driver’s side door jamb, rear-wheel well or engine) or through Internet classified advertisements and auctions.

Once they have a legitimate VIN, the thieves find a vehicle with similar characteristics and steal it. Sometimes they punch out a new VIN and replace the stolen vehicle’s dash VIN with the new one. Or they use computer technology to print out authentic looking documents with phony VINs. The last step is selling the vehicle, usually through classified ads or other informal methods. Some altered vehicles end up in auctions or on unsuspecting used-car lots.

This type of scam artist preys on middle-income consumers who are thrilled to get a great deal on an expensive vehicle. To help prevent falling victim to VIN cloning, the Better Business Bureau suggests the following:

Be extremely cautious if you see a late model luxury car selling significantly under normal market price.
Do not fall for the “we need cash quickly” excuse; exercise due diligence.
Check the VIN number on the dashboard against the car’s title documents. If there is a discrepancy, that is a definite red flag.
Make certain the dashboard VIN number also matches the number under the hood and at the door jamb on the driver’s side.
Closely examine the car’s title, registration and other documents. Fake documents sometimes contain misspelled words, which points to something amiss.
If you still have questions about the validity of the vehicle’s VIN, obtain a comprehensive vehicle history report.

If you think you may be a victim of VIN cloning, contact your local police department
