San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 7, 2011

Economic difficulties have made the likelihood of fraud in the workplace greater because businesses have cut costs, cut people and small to medium sized businesses are forced to outsource projects and other business functions. Newly launched ThePublicRecords.com seeks to protect business owners from unnecessary loss due to vendor or private contractor fraud by providing the ability to search public records through variety of government and public record links using its innovative cloud based technology.

Most vendor fraud falls into three categories. The most common offenses include things such as double invoicing, padding expenses, or fraudulent billing. Less common, but still prevalent is deliberate falsification of financial statements, incomplete or shoddy work, or hiding of liabilities and expenses. This kind of corruption can lead to major financial losses, conflict of interest or even major legal problems that leave unsuspecting business owners holding the bill. ThePublicRecords.com puts power into the hands of the business owner, allowing them to get all information necessary to protect against vendor or contractor fraud.

These are individuals who lack any sense of ethics and will steal from any business or individual without feelings of guilt or concern. There is no thought of justifying the behavior, they simply steal. Unfortunately the economic difficulties add to the growing number of contractors and vendors who steal due to their own difficult financial situations.

What can business owners do to protect themselves from employee theft?

Most individuals who engage in fraud or theft have a history. ThePublicRecords.com indexes various free public records websites to assist people in performing free public record searches and provides background checks, criminal history checks, and civil judgment reports that allow businesses to be sure that the prospective or existing vendor or contractor has a clean record. The best means of fraud prevention is to learn all that there is to know about potential and ongoing vendors and contractors and cultivate strong and trusting relationships.

Instant People Finder Launches New Real Time People Search Tool for Instant Access to People and Business Contacts

Instant People Finder

Delaware City, DE (PRWEB) March 1, 2011

Instant People Finder today announced the launch of a free people lookup online tool available to everyone that searches for people and related information. In the past, it has often been necessary to go through various companies to be able to take advantage of a people finder facility, but with Instant People Finder, this is now a thing of the past. It aggregates data from various databases such as public records, phone directories, social sites in real time and presents it in structured manner, making the search experience more relevant and user friendly.

There are many reasons why an individual may feel the need to perform a background check on a person. These range from checking out people they may have lost touch with over time or even checking up on a potential date! A detailed background check is the perfect way to find out if the person is who they say they are and gives an insight into their personal degree of honesty.

Instant People Finder offers a simple people search which begins simply by typing in a person’s name. The site allows the option of people lookup in the whole of the country or can be narrowed down state by state. The more information available when using this free people lookup site, the better, but even if the only detail available is the person’s name, then Instant People Finder can still be a great tool for people search.

The internet provides a wealth of information which Instant People Finder puts to use in its people search. On entering the name of the person, the site immediately searches not only public and government records for matches, but also other internet resources such social networking sites, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Within seconds the site will have a match according to the information you have entered. It will then display detailed information such as images, age, contact details and even information about relatives. There is also the option of a complete, in-depth background report if so required.

In this day and age, we are all becoming far more aware of how necessary it is to be careful about those we associate with. This free people lookup service can be used for an added layer of security when meeting or engaging in new relationships.

For accuracy, speed and ease of use, Instant People Finder is probably one of the best people finder services available. For many years now, larger companies have understood the value and employed similar people finder searches, but at last this technology is now freely accessible to all. Read more at our blog.

Because Instant People Finder is specifically engineered for an Internet search, it can provide a far superior search than a traditional or white pages search. This new high performance search tool is one of the most user friendly and effective ways of locating specific people information and is designed to provide an easy and speedy user experience.

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com

The world’s largest drug company has agreed to pay almost two and a half billion dollars for illegal marketing of medicines. The settlement between Pfizer and the United States Justice Department was announced in September.

The settlement is the nation’s largest ever in a case of health care fraud. It also includes the largest criminal fine ever in any case in the United States, more than one billion dollars. Pfizer agreed to pay another billion dollars for violations of a civil law, the False Claims Act.

Pfizer, based in New York, had sales last year of forty-eight billion dollars.

A Pfizer division, Pharmacia & Upjohn, agreed to plead guilty to a criminal violation over the painkiller Bextra. Pfizer pushed sales of Bextra for several uses unapproved by the government because of safety concerns. It also pushed for use in unapproved amounts. Pfizer withdrew Bextra from the market in two thousand five because of links to heart attacks and other problems.

Pfizer also faced civil charges over Bextra as well as three other drugs. Officials said Pfizer paid health care providers to prescribe these medicines for conditions other than the ones for which they are approved. This is called “off-label” use of a drug.

Doctors are permitted to try off-label uses to treat their patients. The idea is that a doctor might find other ways that a drug is effective. But federal law bars drug companies from marketing their products for unapproved uses.

Kathleen Sebelius is the secretary of health and human services. She said the settlement includes the most comprehensive corporate integrity agreement that a drug company has ever signed in the United States.

Under the agreement, doctors will have a way to report abuses by Pfizer sales representatives. And officials said Pfizer will have to make “detailed disclosures” on its Web site. Pfizer announced a plan in February to publicly disclose its financial relationships with doctors, medical organizations and patient groups.

Yet this is not the company’s first corporate integrity agreement with the government. Pfizer has now been fined for illegal marketing four times since two thousand two.

Prescription drugs represent only about one-tenth of all health care spending in the United States. But fast-growing demand and prices have made them part of the debate over health reform.
And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.
