Baltimore man pleads guilty to mail fraud in financial scheme

Protect our seniors by educating them

This is extremely close to home readers. Our seniors are under attack by these crooks. If you have a grandparent or parents who are seniors, please please educate them. I know, they can be stubborn but keep on talking to them. Keep on showing them articles and cases of others that were defrauded of all their life's savings. These are our parents, grandparents, grand aunts and uncles who have worked all their lives to save up what little they could. Let's take on the responsibility of protecting them.

I find this story very disturbing. Not that others aren't. but there is a very soft spot in my heart for our seniors. Please share with everyone you know who has a senior in their family.

Again, Do We Still Want A Cashless Society

Readers, another technology convenience for consumers has been hi-jacked by fraudsters, crooks, undesirables, thieves and so on.  They will not stop and we shouldn't either. We have to be five times more aggressive and vigilant than they are. If you decide to get one of these cards, be very sure you have the wallets to protect it. 

Make it difficult for them to take what belongs to you. "Pull the porch light on at night" move. Criminals can be lazy. Their intention is to get in and out as fast as they can. If you deter them, it slows them down and they they leave you alone. Let's run them out of options readers. Yes,  it is work, but you worked hard to earn your money, work hard to keep it.

FRAUD IS A VIOLENT CRIME - PREVENT IT

DO WE STILL WANT A CASHLESS SOCIETY?

Years ago, I recall there was a time when it was the goal of the world to go cashless and paperless. That was when  technology was making its way into our lives at a rapid rate. Cashless society and paperless society was the slogan and we were extremely excited about it. 

Sadly enough, our first disappointment came when we realized we had more credenzas full of paper and files in offices than we did before the tech age of computers. We are even more disappointed because we seem to have lost control when it comes to keeping our money and personal information safe. The public is spending more money and precious time trying to protect their money and personal information more than ever these days. The  huge question is do we like where we are right now? 

The article link below in its own way answers the question. ATMs are one of the great perks technology provided  in efforts to make our lives easier. But according to the article, it has become more of a pain in the neck than we like. Not only does it make it convenient for us the consumers to gain access to our monies anytime and anywhere, it has also given convenient access to thieves, robbers, cheats, and criminals as well. Not a great feeling is it?

Let me know what you think.

U.S. cracks international credit card fraud ring

 Hello readers,

I am so excited about this article and had to let you see and read it. KUDOS to the US. It is so wonderful to hear and see that efforts are being made to mitigate this crime. Yes, as the article said it might be unprecedented, but now this has created precedence. As financial fraud crime fighters, we should be encouraged to see that the efforts have paid off.

I must say, GREAT JOB TO THE USPS, FBI AND THE SECRET SERVICE. This sends a message stating that CRIME DOES NOT PAY. You will be caught no matter how long it takes as long as we do not give up on pursuing the issue.

Enjoy the article readers.
