Her persistent electronic sleuthing resulted in what looks like a happy ending: the culprit was found and the URL that contained her name was suspended. But domain names and access to them are vast, so Aagaard hopes her experience may serve as a cautionary tale to others.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_17204/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=Xrq7mqPT"><P>Internet scams are on the rise, and California banks, legal groups and the State Bar report receiving growing numbers of complaints from lawyers about the electronic solicitations. The State Bar also issued an alert to lawyers about the proliferation of lawyer-aimed scams. California lawyers who answered the scammers have lost from $75,000 up to $2 million, bank officers say.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/23762004-D333-4428-812A-02859442AAB0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
