🔐 Abrir TEXTO DE APOIO (material-base da questão)
A deep freeze this week in the Lone Star state, which relies on electricity to heat many homes, is causing power demand to skyrocket. At the same time, natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear facilities in Texas have been knocked offline by the unthinkably low temperatures.
The increasing globalization of the electronic marketplace offers nearly unimaginable opportunities for businesses and consumers in terms of both access and choices. Yet it also presents more risks. The same qualities that make the Internet so attractive to legitimate businesses make it fertile ground for fraudsters targeting consumers from Joliet, Illinois, to Japuir, India. It gives con artists the ability to appear suddenly, defraud consumers quickly, and disappear without revealing their true identity or location. Stopping them requires law enforcement officials to move just as quickly – and to operate in a culture of unprecedented cooperation.
The challenges for law enforcement officials are legion. For example, cross-border con artists can be difficult to track down and stop, and redress for consumers may be difficult to achieve. But several new initiatives are helping to establish the international cooperation necessary to take on Internet fraud – and ultimately, to ensure that consumers develop the confidence in the global electronic marketplace necessary for it to reach its true potencial. The U. S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) leadership in law enforcement, the use of technology, and policy development should go a long way toward increasing consumer confidence in the online marketplace.
