Identity Theft and Your Online Job Search

While identity theft is nothing new, the Web has opened up whole new world of opportunity for identity thieves.

According to the FBI, identity theft is the top online fraud. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says that identity theft is it’s number one source of consumer complaints – 42 percent of all complaints, in 2001.

The thief will use your personal information to open credit card accounts, cell phone accounts, open bank accounts in your name and write bad checks-leaving the victim with the bills and ruined credit ratings. Identity thieves may pose as representatives of banks, Internet service providers and even government agencies to get you to reveal your Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, financial account numbers and identifying information.

In a recent article (http://www.msnbc.com/news/830411.asp), MSNBC reported the case of a man who fell victim to a fraudulent job listing that was posted at Monster.com. According to the article:

“It was just the job lead Jim needed: a marketing manager position with Arthur Gallagher, a leading international insurance broker. And only days after Jim responded to the job posting on Monster.com, a human resources director sent along a promising e-mail. We’re interested in you, the note said. The salary is negotiable, the clients big. In fact, the clients are so valuable and sensitive that you’ll have to submit to a background check as part of the interview process. Eager for work, Jim complied- and sent off just about every key to his digital identity, including his age, height, weight, Social Security number, bank account numbers, even his mother’s maiden name.”

Jim spent the day canceling his credit cards, checking his balances and contacting the credit bureaus, but he’s concerned that his information is now “out there”.

There are warning signs that can tip you off to fraudulent job listings. While these items don’t necessarily mean that the listing is a scam, they are indications that you should do further checking.

–Incorrect grammar and spelling errors

–Phone or fax number area codes don’t match the address given

–Unrealistic salary

Online job databases are not the only places that identity thieves cruise for personal information. In recent indictments across the U.S., individuals have been charged with obtaining and using personal information through various ways. In Miami, two individuals were indicted for illegally tapping the computer networks of restaurants using the cover of a dummy corporation. A clerical worker at the New York State Insurance Fund pilfered office files and used stolen identities (of people across the country as well as fellow office workers) to obtain goods and services. A phlebotomist at Kaiser Permanente admitted to using the personal information of patients and employees in order to open credit card accounts in various names.

Recently, an FTC investigation into a work-at-home scheme spawned an incredible “scam-within-a-scam” when a man pretending to be an FTC employee emailed hundreds of the scam’s victims. He requested personal information stating that it was to be used as evidence in the case.

While it’s impossible to completely eliminate the chances of becoming a victim, you can minimize the risk by putting the following to practice:

–If a would-be employer asks you for any personal information you should ask them for their contact information and then separately look up the company’s information and contact them to verify that they actually exist. While it’s not unusual for an employer to ask for certain work-related information (like your work history and former employers), it is not appropriate for them to ask for personal information (like a social security number) unless you are actually being hired (and you’ve checked them out to make sure they’re legitimate). Even then, you should never be asked for financial information such as a credit card number.

–On online resumes, never include your social security number and keep even your work history brief.

–Check your credit card statements often. Believe it or not, many people never even check them!

–Be sure to follow up with creditors if your bill doesn’t arrive on time. A missing credit card bill may mean that an identity thief has changed your billing address to cover their tracks.

–Order your credit report from one of the major credit bureaus each year and verify that everything is correct.

What to do if you’ve been a victim of identity theft:

The FTC maintains Consumer Sentinels Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse, the nations repository for identity theft complaints. The FTC established the Identity Theft Toll-Free Hotline, 1.877.IDTHEFT (1.877.438.4338) and the ID Theft Website (www.consumer.gov/idtheft) to give identity theft victims a central place to report their problems and receive helpful information.

The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). You can use their online system to file a complaint.

How to Protect Yourself From Becoming a Victim of a Hate Crime

Over the past years, there has been a continuous rising number of people being attacked because of their sexual orientation. Although it is said that people are more tolerant nowadays, statistics show otherwise as the numbers continue to surge. If you’re going to check the FBI hate crime statistics, you will see that there have been 1,460 cases reported in 2007 while there were 1,415 reported from the year before. It may not be a big of jump from the previous number, but it still should be a cause of alarm.

If you’re afraid of becoming a victim of an attack, there are a few things that you can do in order to protect yourself. Here are just a few things you can do in order to prevent yourself from being a number in the statistic.

Always travel with companions – the first thing that you need to do to ensure your safety is to always travel with other people. Predators are generally more apprehensive to attack people by groups. Whether you’re traveling in broad daylight or night time, it’s always best to assimilate in a group.

Study your environment – if you’ve just moved into a new neighborhood, make sure that you study your environment first before you become too comfortable with it. This way, you’ll have an idea of the exact places that you’ll need to avoid and the type of people that you’ll be seeing day by day.

Steer clear of dark places – this rule applies to everyone, regardless of sexual preference and it’s one of those that shouldn’t dare be broken, especially by those who can’t avoid traveling at night. It’s in the dark corners that you’ll find predators lurking. You need to be sure that there are always people around you just in case you need help.

Keep your cell phone ready – wherever you are, you should make it a point to know your emergency numbers so that you can easily dial for assistance when you need it the most. It may be unnerving when that moment suddenly strikes so you need to prepare yourself by storing emergency numbers under speed dial.

Always let someone know your whereabouts – this is called leaving a trail. Whenever you leave the house, make sure that you let your friends and family know where you’re headed. This way, if ever something happens to you, your family and friends will be able to help the police track your whereabouts depending on the last thing that you may have told them. You don’t need to call in every 5 minutes when all it takes is a text message whenever you move to another location. By making it a habit to leave a trail, you’re ensuring your safety in the long run.

Since there’s no arguing with the statistics, it’s best that you take the matter of your safety into your own hands. As long as you follow the tips that you have just learned from this simple article, you can decrease your chances of becoming a victim of a hate crime.

Prepaid Calling Cards and Terrorism: Where Did All The "Chatter" Go?

Does that necessarily mean that there are no terrorist communications happening, or does it simply mean that terrorists have found other effective ways to get their twisted plots across continents? The advent of prepaid calling cards and the proliferation of Voice over IP telephony have made mobile phones almost irrelevant.

In a case study, a prominent telecom company A discovered that several thousand dollars worth of phone time had been purchased using stolen credit cards. Despite extremely heavy security, this company still succumbed to the effective measures of people who were clearly bent on obtaining airtime. The subsequent tracking of IP’s indicated that not only had the orders been placed using heavy IP masking, but that they originated from hacked computers and the traced ended in Lebanon. Careful analysis of the Call Records (CDR’s) indicated that hundreds of phone calls had been made using the same prepaid account to a number of high threat countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, UAE, and a few European countries.

One of the more interesting points in investigating the originating phone numbers was that most of them were fake. With Internet technology, directing and redirecting calls from one IP to the next is as easy as looking it up on Google. Indeed, with VoIP you can easily have a local New York phone number literally anywhere in the world.

The intent was to hide any and all trace of the conversations. The extent of this operation is unknown; however it is certain that companies that had lax security measures lost thousands of dollars. The chargeback’s from the customers always hit the merchants. What is certain is that people are making phone calls to countries that harbor terrorists using stolen credit cards and high tech methods of masking the origin of their outgoing phone calls.

The FBI was duly notified and a subpoena issued for the CDR’s. However it is not certain how much headway the FBI had into the case. Most telecom companies protect the identities of their clients and their CDR’s be they peaceful citizens or hell bent terrorists. Unfortunately there is also no effective law that provides for timely gathering of much needed sensitive CDR’s. Hence the answer to where has all the chatter gone can be answered using prepaid calling cards and VoIP protocols that have made it possible to completely mask phone conversations and take the chatter underground.

Use Online Resources For Your Research Paper on Nazi Saboteurs in America

I’ll admit it, I research, and read books and articles about Nazis and the Third Reich. Recently I read Saboteurs: The Nazi Raid on America by Michael Dobbs. It is a thoroughly researched and well-written book. I wondered how much information I could find on this topic on the Internet if I wanted to write a research paper. A lot, that’s what I found. Caveat: I read the book first so I had knowledge of the subject. I’ll give you a list of what I found. First I Googled Nazi saboteurs and was surprised with the quality of the results. What I found:

Wikipedia—Operation Pastorius. This was the name for the failed plan for attacks on American infrastructure by Nazi Saboteurs. I think there were one or two errors in this account, but the reference list is very valuable for research. Remember, Wikipedia can edited by users, who may not always have good intentions.

Cornell University Law School. The Wikipedia article led me to Cornell University for the 26 page ExParte Quirin Supreme Court decision denying the saboteurs’ request for a writ of habeas corpus. This is a primary source.

FBI—Famous Cases: George John Dasch and the Nazi Saboteurs. This is the FBI’s somewhat inaccurate account of the case in which they took all the credit for solving. There are pictures of the saboteurs and their equipment.

Library of Congress—Military Legal Resources: Nazi Saboteurs Trial, Washington, D.C., 1942. This is a short account of the saboteurs’ trial, including the Supreme Court decision.

University of Minnesota—The Saboteurs. The complete transcript (2,967 pages) of the Nazi Saboteur Military Commission. A primary source, very valuable for a research paper.

HistoryNet.com—World War II: German Saboteurs Invade America in 1942. This is a fairly accurate rendition of their failure in America.

Ezine.com—A Place in Florida–Nazi Saboteurs Landed Here. Gene Ingle wrote about the Nazi saboteurs who landed at Ponte Vedra Beach.

Jewish Virtual Library—White House Statement on the Sentence of Nazi Saboteurs, August 8, 1942. Another primary source is FDR’s statement allowing the saboteurs’ executions to take place.

JSTOR—The American Political Science Review, Vol. 36, No. 6(Dec.,1942), The Case of the Nazi Saboteurs, by Robert E. Cushman. This was a great find, but only the first page was on the website. It is in JSTOR, an academic journal. I was able to retrieve the article from our public library’s JSTOR subscription on the library’s website.

I also found reviews of two books: Nazi Saboteurs on Trial: A Military Tribunal and American Law, by Louis Fisher, and Betrayal: The True Story of J. Edgar Hoover and the Nazi Saboteurs by David Alan Johnson.

You may have noticed that there is some controversy regarding President Roosevelt, J. Edgar Hoover, and the Supreme Court regarding the Federal Government’s handling of this case. Despite their extensive training in Germany, the Nazis were more like the Keystone Kops and bungled everything they tried except buying new clothes, staying in expensive hotels, and eating in fancy restaurants.

There were four more sites that contained quality resources, including primary sources. If you want to use the Internet for research, first go to the library, read a good encyclopedia article or book about your subject. Check the references for sources, and then Google your subject. You may be rewarded with a cornucopia of riches, in this case quality research resources.

How Can I Find Out About Someone’s Past? – Here’s How to Do an Online Background Check

Getting details about somebody’s past is something that most people have thought of doing. Individuals will use background searches for several reasons – for example finding out about a new caretaker or person somebody is dating. Nowadays this is easier than ever to accomplish by using an online background check.

In the past your only way to run a background check was to use a private investigator or use a detective agency. It was high-priced, took a lot of time and didn’t always turn up reliable details.

Now it’s neither costly or complicated. Thanks to the world wide web collecting background details on somebody is quick, easy and accessible to anybody who has an internet connection.

The reason for this is that the internet now offers professional background check companies that provide online background checks. If you have to find out info on someone, you can initiate a search through their database to get the info you need.

You’ll discover plenty of information on somebody when you do a search. Expect to see criminal history, employment records, marriage details and lots of other info.. I’m always impressed to see how many details you can learn about somebody.

You will have to pay a small fee to initiate a search, but it isn’t much. One option is to buy a membership which lets you run unlimited searches for a one-time membership fee.

A quick method to check to see if you can find some info for free is to use Google and type in the individual’s name with quotation marks (ex: “Tom Brown”). If you know the city the person lives in you should also include that (ex: “Mark McDonald” Toronto). Do a search in Google and then have a look at the results.

To be honest with you, doing this will rarely bring up what you’re looking for. It’s free though so you may as well try. Here, we’re hoping that there has been info published on the individual on the internet and that the search engine will retrieve it.

By using an online background service you will get details on anyone in only a few minutes – it’s incredibly fast. When you find that you are interested about somebody’s history, it’s nice to know that you have this option.

Beware of Roommate Scams

If you are looking for a roommate and you placed ads on roommate listings, regardless whether or not those listings are free or paid, chances are you will get a response from person who claims they are interested in being your roommate. This person will have no interest in being your roommate. There only interest is to scam you and rob you for your money. Fact: roommate scams swarm roommate listings. Familiarizing yourself with these roommate scams is your first guard of protection from theft and fraud. If you don’t know what a roommate scam is or how it sounds or look like, educate yourself fast before you become a victim. If you do become a victim of a roommate scam, you have to immediately contact your local authorities and possibly the FBI.

Here is what a roommate scam email looks like:

Hi,

I saw your ad on (roommate listing).com I am looking to rent a room or seek a roommate who is nice and honest. My name is Denise and I am 29 yr. old Broker currently living in London with my Uncle. I am honest, trustworthy and a caring individual who enjoys making good friends and having a good time.

I plan to come to the United States to work at a new brokerage firm on an 8 month contract. I just want to confirm the rent, utilities and if there is any deposit. What’s the amount to move in altogether? I can pay you 2 months rent and would like to move in right away. I will have my associate in the United States send you a cashier’s check for 2 the months payment.

Please forward me your full details where you want payment to be mailed

Name

Address

City, Zip

Email

Phone Number

Thanks and I will be waiting for your details so I can proceed with the payment!

Regards,

Denise

This is a clear example of a roommate scam. There are other similar roommate scams where people claim to be from Canada, UK, Nigeria, Australia, Sweden, etc. Ways to quickly spot a roommate scam goes as follows:

1. The person is a foreign national

2. They claim they are moving to the US for work, school or a modeling contract

3. They usually only give their first name and if you reply with an email asking for their full name, address and email, sometimes they refuse to give it to you.

4. They want to send you their “final paycheck” from their current employer and deposit the check in your bank account as form of payment for the rent deposit.

5. They ask you to cash the check, money order or cashier’s check (usually more than the amount of the rent’s deposit) into your bank account or open an account at a different bank of their choice. Once the check is deposited into your account, they will ask you to deduct a portion of the money to cover the rent and will ask you to withdraw the exceeded portion to wire transfer back to them. They will explain that they need the extra money wired back to them to purchase “a plane ticket” and/or “pay for moving expenses”. These checks, money orders and cashier’s checks are counterfeit. The “exceeded potion” you withdraw from the back is how they make their money. In many cases, once the bank realizes that these checks are counterfeit, they will come after YOU for the money.

6. They offer for “an associate” or “sponsor” they know in the US to send you a check, cashier’s check or money order for you to deposit in your bank for the rent deposit (again the check, money order and cashier’s checks are fake!).

7. They request your personal information like full name, address, phone number, personal email account and bank where you will be depositing the checks. Sometimes they will insist on a particular bank for you to deposit their fake checks.

8. Their emails make the assumption that you have chosen them to be your roommate and will ask you to remove your ad off the roommate listing.

9. You receive similar emails that sound almost identical, but using different names and job occupations.

10. If you request info from them like their current home address, scans/fax copies of their passport, visas and employer contracts, they will refuse to give you the information and make BS excuses why they can’t.

11. If you do communicate with these roommate scam artists through email or telephone (at first not knowing you are about to be scammed) and request a little more time to do research or explain you are interviewing other people, they will get nasty, impatient and barrage you with constant emails, IM and phone calls.

When answering emails on roommate listings always be sure to verify as much information as you can about the other person. Ask questions and don’t be shy about it. Remember, you will be essentially moving a stranger into your house or apartment. Therefore, you have every right to protect yourself and ask questions. Trust your gut and listen to any red flags that may go up if you believe you received an email that appears to be a roommate scam. If you no longer feel comfortable communicating with someone you suspect is trying to scam you, stop all communication and report the incident to the FBI. You can do this by visiting the FBI website and look for links about internet scams.

Understanding and recognizing roommate scams is the first step to protecting yourself while you search for a roommate. Information is power! The more informed you are about roommate scams, the easier, safer and quicker it will be to find the perfect roommate for you!

Happy roommate hunting!

Physical Security Of Laptops With Computer Locks

Laptops and computers attract thieves quite like magnets. From dishonest employees to cheap thugs to hi-fi robbers they find computers and laptops easily accessible and ether steal and run away after vandalizing the systems.

Over one million laptops are either lost or stolen every year approximately. While FBI recovers a 2% of the lost or the stolen laptops, they are still clueless on the 300+ laptops they’d lost during hearing of the 9/11 commission. FBI must have lost information which is more valuable than the laptops itself.

A majority of the laptop thefts are due to reckless misplacing alone. While you may have the theft insurance for your expensive Apple iMac, you’d still hate to see your company’s business secrets and information reaching into the wrong hands. Do you?

Physical security of laptops and computers

While password locking does help to safeguard critical information reaching wrong people, physical security of computers should be top priority.

Is computer locks or laptop locks the best modes of physical security?

Computer lock or a laptop lock is the best way of securing system or laptop physically. Approximately, about four-fifth of laptops available on the market comes with a Universal Security Slot (USS). The USS will facilitate the laptop to be attached to a laptop cable lock or even a laptop alarm.

No wonder determined thieves and bolt cutter experts will not stop at this, the laptop cable locks should deter the casual laptop lifters who’d be waiting to take advantage of you when you fall asleep at airport lobby or a hotel lounge.

While there are a variety of computer locks including cable locks to LCD monitor and desktop locks to Maclocks to iMac security locks, the best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune on purchasing any of these. The locks that secure single systems and laptops will be in the $30-50 range and those that secure many laptops at a time such as carts fall in the $100 through $1000 (high end will be the feature-rich portable mini classroom like laptop carts)

Most of the computer locks are usually available at regular office stores or these days at several online stores. If you purchase from an online store, you have certain advantages; check and look at the variety of designs and specifications then make selection that suit your requirement and then look for best deals or offers around that otherwise you have no choice to play with if you opt to buy from an offline store.

Consider and check for quality of the cable as well as quality of the computer lock; ask for replacement warranty and ask if the lock facilitates locking of computer and laptop peripherals too.

What is the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition?

The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, or shortly NSWBC, was founded in 2004 by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds in league with over 50 former and current United States government officials from more than a dozen agencies. Basically, the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition is an alliance of whistleblowers who have come forward to address weaknesses of US security agencies.

National Security Whistleblowers Coalition works to uncover waste, fraud, abuse, and in some cases criminal conduct within the agencies charged with protecting our nation’s security.

The Founder of NSWBC and current president is Sibel Edmonds. Sibel Edmonds worked as a language specialist for the FBI’s Washington Field Office. During her work with the bureau, she discovered and reported serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence that had national security implications. After uncovering this information to the FBI, she was fired in March 2002.

The goal of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition is to help national security whistleblowers through a range of different methods, such as advocacy of governmental and legal reform, provision of comfort and fellowship to national security whistleblowers suffering retaliation and other harms, educating the public concerning whistleblowing activity, and working with other public interest organizations to effect goals defined in the NSWBC mission statement.

The NSWBC membership is exclusively comprised of current or former federal employees or civilians working under contract to the United States who, to their detriment or personal risk, bring to light fraud, waste, and abuse in government operations and agencies when such improprieties compromise the national security of the United States.

The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition demands for Whistleblower Rights for Employees of Intelligence Agencies and Federal Contractors, Classified Disclosures to Congress, Security Clearances, All Circuit Review. Classified Disclosures to Congress should clarify that classified information may be disclosed to a member of Congress or congressional staff as long as that person is authorized to receive such information. Security Clearances means that MSPB is authorized to review cases charging retaliation when an employee’s security clearance is revoked and if the MSPB finds retaliation, to reinstate the security clearance. The All Circuit Review would allow the Federal Circuit or any other Federal circuit court to hear whistleblower cases, ending the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s exclusive jurisdiction over whistleblower appeals.

Basically, the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition is an independent and nonpartisan alliance of whistleblowers that address USA’s security weaknesses and inform the respective authorities of security vulnerabilities in our intelligence agencies, at nuclear power plants and weapon facilities, in airports, and at our nation’s borders and ports.

The Whistle Blower Act defines the conditions under which a report can be filed against an individual or company who are suspected in fraud involving government money. The Federal Whistleblower Statute is included in a wide range of laws, governing activities ranging from employee safety to environmental protection. The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (“the Foundation”) Code of Ethics and Conduct (“Code”) requires all employees to observe the highest standard of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities.

Watch Out for Fraudulent Online Pharmacies

There are various honest online pharmaceutical companies that observe international and local legislation. As there are web pages that normally place the consumer’s basic safety first, you can find twice as many that will rip you off and probably leave you much less healthful and a lot less well off.

Ordering drugs online is quite useful now. Just a couple of clicks of the mouse and you’ll have the medications right at your doorsteps. Performing a transaction over the internet, however, may occasionally ask you to be cautious and be mindful of the potential risks that may put in danger your wellbeing. The US FBI, for instance, has considered this a common cyber crime and ranks it high on its watchlist. Recently, the US FDA has been leading a probe into whether a leading internet search engine has been profiting from illegitimate drug advertisements. In the same way, quite a few nations have notified their various food and drug boards to be extra watchful of shady organizations that perform illegitimate sales practices.

The majority of criminal online pharmacies sometimes receive requests without the need of prescription and even sell to minors and drug addicts. Some don’t require you to submit your medical history or fill out a proper medical survey. Worse, they won’t be able to refund you or be held accountable in the event the medicine they offer prove useless. Ordinarily, these types of illegal organizations advertise things that usually are past their termination date, counterfeit, adulterated, or mislabeled. The medications could have been handled and packaged haphazardly in subterranean labs or perhaps in unregistered overseas facilities. Moreover, these products have been made out of doubtful raw materials that may put you and your family’s life in peril.

The FBI has reported that the proliferation of such shady operation is due to the unregulated sale of advertisement space by portal websites, which usually link them to a projected 1,400 anchor webpages that let customers place orders through illegitimate pharmacies. Some online pharmacy reviews said that often you don’t even need to try to look for them as they quite simply use new spamming and phishing practices.

Listed below are some important ways that make sure you are dealing with a honest business enterprise. You may also check out a number of the respected online pharmacy reviews to get more tips.

1. Examine if the online pharmacy is actually authorized by the appropriate respective authorities, which also maintain a website listing of all accredited businesses.

2. Have your prescription ready at all times. Get them from a certified medical practitioner.

3. Always keep a copy of all your medical certification. Reputable online drugstores often ask you to submit a detailed medical history.

4. Your privacy and security should remain a primary issue. Try to find secure sites that utilise reliable software.

5. Make sure their prices and shipping and delivery costs are reasonable. Illegal sites may entice you with impossible low and discounted prices.

Don’t get fooled by unusual and incredible offers. Protect your health and bank accounts by transacting only with legitimate online internet pharmacies. You can also help others by reporting sites that you think are conducting illegal practices.
