This Steve Katz scheme is likely covered under the 'Wire Fraud' statute. "Wire fraud is a legal concept in the United States Code which provides for enhanced penalty of any criminally fraudulent activity if it is determined that the activity involved electronic communications of any kind, at any phase of the event". Viv, this guy operates, advertises, use the internet, interstate telephone, etc which should qualify this as a federal crime. You should get a lot more help from the Feds and as a "Senior" than you will from a local DA with only legal authority within his jursidiction, like a city, county or state. You can also ask where to go to file a complaint for 'Crimes against Seniors'.

Finally, using that tact now that the Dems are in control might be better than a few month ago. They promised lots of help for Seniors. Get them to live up to those promises. (New bill signed by President Obama on 2-17)
