IC3’s mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding
the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and
easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations.

Better Business Bureau

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) system in the U.S. extends across the nation; coast-to-coast, and in
Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Since the founding of the first BBB in 1912, the BBB system has proven
that the majority of marketplace problems can be solved fairly through the use of voluntary self-regulation
and consumer education.

I received an oil and filter change from a national chain last summer & last week. The first time the oil looked muddy and I worried about an engine problem; last week I checked the dip stick when I picked up the vehicle: the bottom quart of the dip stick showed old oil, the top portion of the dip stick showed new oil.
Is there a Texas agency which could inspect (similar to gasoline station pump certification) other aspects of Texas’s public vehicle services?

My husband was lured into bying a business in order to get an Investors Visa. He paid more than four times the amount than the sellers had paid for that business two years in advance. Of course that business was down and went more down after my husband tried to make it run for almost two years. He lost all of our money and almost two years after having it purchased people in town told him they felt guilty because they did not warn him about the couple who sold to him. Especially the husband is well known for Fraud and theft but no one dares to do anything against him. Would we have a Chance to make him pay and become convicted?
