The Digital Commerce Society of Boston
Presents
Jonathan Rusch
Special Counsel for Fraud Prevention
U.S. Department of Justice
Internet Fraud and the Future of Digital Commerce
Tuesday, March 2nd, 1999
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
As e-commerce aspires to reach the trillion-dollar level early in the
next century, one factor that could adversely affect its growth is the
strength of consumer confidence in the security and privacy of online
transactions. Fraud on the Internet, however, includes far more than
just the risk of unauthorized "data harvesting" of credit card numbers
or other valuable data. Reports to consumer organizations and
government agencies reveal a wide range of fraudulent schemes that, in
offline form, are familiar to law enforcement authorities: securities
market manipulations, sales of computer hardware and software, prizes
and sweepstakes, to name but a few. This talk will identify some of the
more substantial challenges that Internet fraud, in all its forms, poses
for law enforcement and the private sector, and discuss some of the
measures that can be taken to address Internet fraud and foster consumer
confidence in the Net.
Jonathan J. Rusch is Special Counsel for Fraud Prevention in the Fraud
Section of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice in
Washington, D.C. He serves as the Department of Justice's national
coordinator on Internet fraud, chairing the Telemarketing and Internet
Fraud Working Group and co-chairing the Internet Securities Fraud
Subcommittee of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Working Group. Mr.
Rusch has been one of the Department of Justice's leading white-collar
crime prosecutors, and received the Attorney General's Distinguished
Service Award in 1995 for his work on the House Bank scandal. He
received his A.B. degree with honors from Princeton University, and his
M.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Virginia.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on
Tuesday, March 2, 1999, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of
the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch
is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware,
and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club *does* have dress code:
jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate
business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since
we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the
price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress
code.
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we
*really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of
Boston", by Saturday, February 30th, or you won't be on the list for
lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston
will have to be sent back.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The
Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your
e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements
(We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for
instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work
something out.
We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston
on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a
presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program
Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah@shipwright.com>.
