sends out warnings to other security professionals to help get the word out about the latest scheme to prey on unsuspecting victims. In this text, he delivers an upto- date assessment of various fraudulent schemes that we hear about on an almostdaily basis. We all have received the e-mails and letters touting that we were chosen for a great opportunity and all we have to do to be a part of this FREE money is “confirm” our Social Security number (SSN) (Translation: Give us your SSN.) or send a check to someone to pay expenses so they can send us a check for $1 million.

There is always a catch, and many times, the fraudster costs unsuspecting victims their lifetime savings. The old adage is right: “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Rick Youngblood is helping inform others.

As more individuals are educated about scams, the fraudsters change their modus operandi so victims think they are making good decisions—not realizing they have fallen victim. The modus operandi of security must change as well.
