01/28/13 - Monday’s Topical Currents looks at the rise of financial fraud and investment scams in the US.  Figures show a 62% increase of crimes over the past three years.  We’ll speak with a South Florida FBI White-Collar Crime coordinator, as well as certified examiners.  The courts are overwhelmed and backlogged with cases.  So beware:  much of the fraud and scams originate from the Internet.
