Wallingford, CT, March 06, 2008 -- As the April 15 deadline for filing your 2007 income tax return approaches, Better Business Bureau Connecticut has a warning: Tax fraud is heading your way to a mailbox, telephone or e-mail inbox near you. The President of Better Business Bureau Connecticut, Paulette Hotton, says, “Identity thieves, con artists and others who are looking to obtain your personal information may pose as agents of the Internal Revenue Service, causing Connecticut taxpayers to get caught in their trap. Income tax time is a stressful time of year and tax-time scammers often prey upon consumers’ anxiety and trust. “These scammers,” explains Hotton, are very adept at posing as I.R.S. representatives whether over the phone, by mail or e-mail. Once they get consumers’ trust they move quickly to fooling victims into giving out precious personal and financial information.” Many victims are caught off guard by official-looking e-mails with a logo from the I.R.S., credit card companies or financial institutions and in many cases are addressed to the recipient by name.

Now my question here, on my Business News Blog, is this: What should we do with our business on earth so that it doesn't make a fool of us any more? Has BBB been able to take care of that? Not in essence! I propose changing the entire business scenario throughout the world by detaching it from its rewards in terms of money and status. But what will happen of the entire commercial structure of our society then? And how will human society ever get us as the spare parts of its war machinery fighting an unethical war against nature in order to subordinate nature to humanity? A war against its own natural self! Our business structure is violating nature at each and every step as well as at each and every level ruining the whole environment around on this planet. What is BBB going to do about it?
