I just dropped my latest H-1B investigation, and it is a big one, featuring a familiar face: my old friend Nagarjuna. He said he was doing nothing wrong. Surprise: He was doing something very wrong. We talked to one of his victims who worked for Great America Technologies, and he told us everything that Nagarjuna was doing to take advantage of him. After hearing what Nagarjuna had been doing, I decided to pay him another visit — but it appears that he may have already self-deported. After hearing all the ways that these fraudsters are exploiting the system, robbing taxpayers, and stealing from their own employees, the keyboard warriors still find any ways to defend these people. I want them to remember whose side they were on before I dropped this latest H-1B investigation. Who would have thought that people would defend Nagarjuna and his awful acts?! Well, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I kept the receipts ... and it's time to read them back. "The View" host Sunny Hostin was a holdout juror on the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park case. If you're not familiar, Daniel Rakowitz slaughtered his roommate, dismembered her, and ate her brains. The psycho was found not guilty by reason of insanity thanks to Sunny Hostin, an admission that even made her fellow hosts cringe. ► Watch the newest H-1B video here: https://youtu.be/zL7JuOk4nBQ ► In case you missed the first part of the investigation: https://youtu.be/2vVn35456P4?si=JH1wNM5U6tDKenSc ► Catch up on all my H-1B visa investigations:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC    ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area.   ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1    Timestamps:  00:00 - Inside My Latest H-1B Investigation 25:51 - Keyboard Warriors Defended Him? 40:49 - Sunny Hostin, Murder Apologist Learn more about your ad choices.

Fobby and Justin open with Labor Day mortgage-market news — rates at a 12-13 month high, a surprising bump in purchase applications, UWM's FHA/VA share gain, Rocket's broker-poaching offer, and reactions to NEXA's new "NEXA Unlimited" 100%-revenue model — then spend the back half of the show counting down a top-10 mortgage fraud red-flags list from compliance firm Captify, trading war stories from their underwriting and originating days (a bankruptcy that blew up a refinance, a $32-33M "Robin Hood of mortgage fraud" case, fake-landlord rental scams, and a power-of-attorney bank account standoff) along the way.Market news recapMortgage rates: Freddie Mac's 30-year average hit 6.71% (week of Sept 3, 2026) — Fobby called it a 12-month high; Freddie Mac / AP actually reported it as a 13-month high. Minor correction if precision matters.Year-over-year: Fobby's "6.50% a year ago, up 21 bps" is accurate — Freddie Mac's own release confirms the year-ago (Sept 2025) average was 6.50%.Purchase applications: Fobby cited "purchase applications rose 0.8% for the week ending August 28." That 0.8% figure is actually the MBA's total Market Composite Index (purchase + refi combined). The seasonally-adjusted Purchase Index specifically rose 2% that week per MBA's release — an even better number than what aired. Worth a correction or a "we undersold it" follow-up post.FHA/VA share gain: directionally consistent with the tighter-DTI, higher-rate environment discussed; not independently verified against a specific data source in this pass.UWM FHA/VA volume, Rocket's $10K broker referral offer: anecdotal on the show; not independently verified — good candidates to source/cite if reused in written content.NEXA Unlimited: confirmed accurate. NEXA Lending launched "NEXA Unlimited" on Sept 1, 2026, giving loan officers access to 100% of revenue on qualifying loans from their first closing, with no flat fee, per-file fee, correspondent funding fee, margin, or closing fee, and no production/recruiting minimum (that requirement remains on the older NEXA100 program). CEO Mike Kortas's quotes on the show track the actual press release language closely.Quotable moments"The silver lining is that if you're still a loan officer in September, you've made it." — Fobby"If you tilt your head to see the other guy, you lose a second and he gains it on you." — Fobby, on staying in your lane (with the Michael Phelps analogy)"These are the scum of the earth." — Justin, on unlicensed mortgage-relief firms preying on distressed homeowners"He's a super nice guy — that's the red flag." — on an LO offering a kickback for a rate discount"Fraudsters love payment methods that are fast, final, and hard to reverse." — Fobby

AI is changing the fraud landscape on both ends of the spectrum: Fraudsters can use AI to increase the intricacy and polish of their exploits and FIs can use AI to identify scammers in near real-time.But AI progress marches on and FIs must continually reevaluate and refine their methods for combating fraud, Jennifer Pitt, senior analyst of fraud and security at Javelin Strategy & Research, tells FinAi News on this episode of the “FinAi Podcast.”"A lot of organizations that I speak to on a daily basis [are] only looking at the fraud that we're seeing right now, and I think that's the problem that we need to address," she says. "We can't only look at the fraud that we're seeing right now. We have to be able to try to anticipate what fraud might be occurring."FIs need to be able to "think like a criminal," Pitt says, to anticipate the next uses of AI for fraud, especially as models such as Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol expand capabilities. "We need to look at all the fraud that's actually happening — not only within each ecosystem, but the whole fraud landscape," she says. That means implementing the latest technologies, including AI, Pitt says. Concerns about implementation costs and preserving consumer trust may cause some FIs to hesitate before implementing new tech. However, FIs will pay a great deal more in both of those metrics if they do not implement AI and other modern tools to fight fraud, she says."You are going to pay either way," Pitt says. "You pay on the front end for the technology and tools, or you pay on the back end for the financial loss or customer attrition."Listen as Pitt discusses how fraud has changed in the age of AI, what FIs and consumers can do to protect themselves and the critical need for institutions to share knowledge.

The H-1B system is being abused, and Americans are paying the price. Too many people assume that because immigrants enter the country “legally,” the system is working exactly as intended, when in reality they're finding loopholes and scamming America. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon joins me and is fighting to put Americans first and stop the abuse of a system that has gone unchecked for far too long. “Hurt people hurt people” might sound as simple as it is … unless you're Abdul El-Sayed, who always hides the crooked truth behind something that would otherwise seem hard to disagree with. This 9/11 terrorist sympathizer took down his tweets after finding out — shocker — Americans don't like terrorists. No surprise, these Islamified Democrats don't hold much value in their word, just going back and forth to whatever sounds best for supporters.The bar for Democrats is an elevator that just keeps going down. Somehow they always find ways to show they're victims, even coming up with new terms to explain their victimhood. We are still living with the crippling effects of the Biden administration. But the Trump administration is cracking down on illegal aliens getting CDLs and causing fatalities on the roads. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC    ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area.   ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1    ►BlazeTV  BLAZETV.COM/SARA, and use promo code SARA for $20 off.

In his second administration, Donald Trump has so far pardoned or released approximately 1,800 convicted criminals. That includes rioters who stormed the Capitol, fraudsters who stole millions from their victims, and people with connections to the president. So why is Trump on a pardoning spree?

Ilya Brovin is Chief Growth Officer of Sumsub. He joins host Aaron Stanley at Bitso Business' Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City to discuss how AI is changing identity fraud. Sumsub onboards 12 to 15 million people a month, and Brovin describes a clear shift over the past year: criminals have stopped faking documents by hand and started training agents to attempt verification programmatically, at machine speed and scale. The conversation covers why deepfake detection alone does not work, what reusable identity looks like in practice, and how verification changes when the customer is an agent rather than a person.You can connect with Ilya Brovin on LinkedIn--------------------------------------------------------------------Bits and Borders is presented by SumsubSumsub recently released its fourth annual State of the Crypto Industry report.

Finding an affordable rental was hard enough, but now landlords are taking a cue from hotels and airlines by hitting tenants with hidden junk fees. From mandatory charges for bundled trash pickup and overpriced cable to outrageous $200 monthly add-ons just for working from home, these unexpected fees inflate the cost of living. When apartment hunting, Clark urges us to check for this specific list before committing to a lease. Meanwhile, tap-to-pay remains one of the safest ways to shop using digital tokenization, but scammers have found a clever way to exploit your generosity. Fraudsters posing as street solicitors for fake charities are asking people to tap their phones to donate, only to take the device and quietly alter a $20 donation into a $200 charge.

Widespread fraud is being uprooted in the United States. Already, the administration has uncovered more than $229 billion in fraud, which is about half of the higher estimates on the total amount of fraud committed against American taxpayers each year. And now, the Trump administration has published a detailed list of the key types of fraud they've found so far.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

As President Trump continues to make his crackdown on fraud a priority for his administration, leading Republican voices are following suit. A group of GOP senators have introduced a bill that would make committing fraud a deportable offense. Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of identifying and rooting out these crimes, as well as her bid to be the Volunteer State's next governor. Foreign adversaries are escalating cyberattacks against American critical infrastructure, with recent Iranian-backed attempts targeting municipal water treatment facilities across multiple states. Cybersecurity expert and CEO and Founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases Morgan Wright joins to discuss the mechanics of these intrusions, the psychological strategy behind targeting power and water systems, and how Russian intelligence operations are exploiting hotel Wi-Fi networks and consumer smart devices.

Dawn breaks down a massive local news exclusive with Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, who joins us on the front lines of a sweeping crackdown against egregious healthcare fraud in Philadelphia and surrounding counties. We reaction-test allegations of co-conspirators billing over 24 hours in a single day—and in one unbelievable instance, 126 hours in 24 hours—while stealing tax dollars intended for elderly and vulnerable residents. AG Sunday breaks down how federal and state law enforcement are working together to root out these illegal schemes, protect taxpayers, and hold system abusers accountable across the Commonwealth. We shift gears to major election integrity news as election attorney Linda Kearns steps into the studio to share details of a key legal victory in Lackawanna County. The crew reacts to how incorrect primary ballots exposed missing policy manuals, highlighting the critical need for standard procedures in county election offices across Pennsylvania. Linda presses on why real list maintenance matters, how party demographics are shifting toward independent voters, and why broad federal mandates like the SAVE Act create massive logistical hurdles for small local counties. Dawn reacts to the wild political and personal drama spilling onto the national stage out of Ohio, where high-profile lawmakers are trading heavy allegations on national TV. The crew breaks down U.S. Representative Max Miller's tense appearance with Jake Tapper, Senator Bernie Moreno's public statements regarding his daughter, and how messy family court custody battles end up derailing major political careers. From local corruption to national news moments, Dawn keeps the focus sharp, opinionated, and fast-moving.

Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. This week, Stu and Joe pivot the podcast to the popular TRUE CRIME format in order to woo a giant mainstream audience. OK, not quite – but sort-of. We've spoken a lot recently about AI-generated music accounting for 50% of music uploaded to streaming platforms – and how the reason for it, mostly, is for it to be used for fraud. We had a few emails asking: so, how does AI music help fraudsters, and how does streaming fraud work anyway?So we pulled on our trenchcoats and got investigating – and in this episode we're going to have a good old root around music streaming fraud: and we think you'll actually be surprised at how it works, who is doing it – and how much money can be made. The crime: Streaming fraud isn't indie bands cheating to boost their numbers; it's organised crime laundering money, and stealing from real artists.The scale: anti-fraud firms estimate that a huge 7–10% of streams are fake, but streamign platforms claim that it's far lower (but still costing artists a lot of money).How AI powers fraud: scammers use AI to flood platforms with songs, hiding billions of fake streams across thousands of low-profile tracks.It might be you: Fraudsters hijack real users' streaming accounts to stream the fake songs overnight and exploit bot farms to manipulate payout thresholds.Betting manipulation: people using prediction platforms like Kalshi are accused of artificially pumping track streams to win trades – risking account bans for innocent artists.DSP crackdown: Platforms are fining distributors, purging dead AI catalogue, and wiping fake streams to protect payouts for real creators.And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our ⁠⁠Patreon Superfans⁠⁠, Stu and Joe prop themselves up at the bar – in this week's bonus material: Stu and Joe chat about the recently announced 2026 Mercury prize nominees – which include young upstart songwriter Paul McCartney.

As President Trump continues to make his crackdown on fraud a priority for his administration, leading Republican voices are following suit. A group of GOP senators have introduced a bill that would make committing fraud a deportable offense. Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of identifying and rooting out these crimes, as well as her bid to be the Volunteer State's next governor. Foreign adversaries are escalating cyberattacks against American critical infrastructure, with recent Iranian-backed attempts targeting municipal water treatment facilities across multiple states. Cybersecurity expert and CEO and Founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases Morgan Wright joins to discuss the mechanics of these intrusions, the psychological strategy behind targeting power and water systems, and how Russian intelligence operations are exploiting hotel Wi-Fi networks and consumer smart devices. PLUS, commentary by Kristen Waggoner is CEO, president, and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.

How often do you reach for cash when making a purchase? If you are like most Americans, it's not very often, and the bigger the purchase, the more likely you are to use a credit or debit card. Fraudsters are aware of these statistics so they develop tricky tactics to intercept your card information during the purchase process.  Links: Check out the news story covering gluing: https://abc7news.com/glue-in-atm-slot-chase-scam-tap-card-bank/12935385/ Learn more about Triangle's Better Checking account with ID Protection Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Now, more than ever, it's important to safeguard sensitive card information to prevent an interruption in your ability to make important purchases. It's often stressed to pay attention to any attempts to steal our information when we use our cards online, but the unfortunate reality is that even if the card stays in your physical possession while paying, there are several ways that your card information can be stolen or used fraudulently. Let's revisit two of these criminal practices, and learn how you can be your own superhero and stop fraud before it happens.  Skimming  You've probably heard about this one before. Skimming is a technique employed by criminals to steal sensitive payment card data, including credit or debit card numbers, PIN codes, and other personal information. Even though this illegal technique has been around for more than twenty years, it is still one of the most common types of card fraud. It typically occurs when a physical device, known as a skimmer, is placed on or near a legitimate card reader, such as an ATM or a point-of-sale (POS) terminal at a store or gas pump. The skimmer is designed to capture card data, while an additional component, like a hidden camera or keypad overlay, records PIN codes or other information about the payment card transaction. Even if you have a chip card, many card terminals still use the magnetic stripe on the back of the card in addition to or instead of the chip. The only transactions that are not subject to skimmers are those where you do not insert your card past the chip portion, therefore, the magnetic stripe is not readable, or you use Tap-to-Pay. Tap-to-Pay allows a cardholder to physically tap the card on the device, which uses short-range wireless card reader technology to access the account, rather than relying on the physical attributes of the card.     How to Detect a Skimmer:  Examine the Card Reader Carefully: When using an ATM, or a POS terminal at a store or fuel pump, check the device for anything that looks odd. Fraudsters may attach a skimmer directly over the card slot or PIN pad, resulting in something that is not the same color or shape or looks bulky. Look for any other signs of tampering, such as scratches, glue residue, or a loose-fitting card slot (touch to see if it moves). If anything seems suspicious, avoid using the machine and report it immediately.  Use Your Hand to Shield Your PIN: You may have developed a habit of using your hand to shield the keypad when entering your PIN code if you are in line at the grocery store, but what about when you are alone at an ATM or gas pump? You need to include this as a habit every time you enter your PIN, no matter where you are. Criminals often install tiny miniature cameras at the point where a skimmer is installed to capture your PIN, as the skimmer captures the information from your card. Use Secure and Trusted Devices: Whenever possible, use ATMs or payment terminals that are in well-lit, secure areas. When filling up, choose pumps close to and within sight of employees. Illegal skimmers must be installed by someone, and criminals will choose areas where they are the least likely to be noticed and caught. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly: Regularly review your bank statements, credit card statements, and transaction history for any unauthorized or suspicious activity. Report any discrepancies to your financial institution immediately.   Gluing or "Glue-and-Tap"  Gluing or Glue-and-Tap is a method that criminals are using at ATMs to access your bank account directly, skipping the need for your card information altogether. This scam typically occurs at a free-standing ATM in a well-trafficked area where people approach on foot. It goes like this. The perpetrator pours glue into the card reader, setting up the scam. Sometime later you visit the ATM to retrieve cash, but you find that you can't insert your card. A seemingly helpful bystander tells you that the machine is jammed, but if you tap your card, you can still make a withdrawal. At that point, you tap either your card (or phone), enter the PIN required for tap transactions, and leave, often even thanking the “helpful” stranger. The bystander is counting on you, the victim, not being familiar with this type of withdrawal and unaware that you will need to take an extra step to exit the account on the screen before leaving the ATM. Unlike when a card is inserted, and the account window closes when the card is removed, a tap transaction must be closed out on the screen. The criminal perpetrating this scam expects the victim to be unfamiliar with the process, and they can then drain the account that has been left open. Some victims even report being uncomfortable due to the bystander's presence; therefore, completing their transaction and being distracted in their effort to leave the area quickly and safely, leaving their account window open, even if they know better. Scammers utilized this method back in 2023 during a series of incidents in San Francisco, which was featured in a video news report.  To help protect yourself, avoid any ATM with a card reader that doesn't seem to work properly. If you are comfortable using the tap feature on your phone or card for transactions, always wait for the prompt asking if you are finished and confirm that your account is no longer accessible before leaving.  It's up to all of us to stay protected against identity theft, particularly in the case of payment card fraud. But if a criminal gets your payment card, they may not stop there. If you feel you may be a victim of identity theft, we have professionals standing by to help you get your life back on track. If you have a Better Checking account at Triangle, take a moment to review and activate your monitoring benefits. This will help you stay informed of any activity that could indicate you are a victim of identity theft.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Someone could be testing stolen credit cards on your website right now — and your payment processor isn't going to stop it.It's called a card testing attack. Fraudsters get their hands on stolen card numbers and run them through checkout pages with weak fraud controls to find out which ones are still active. Most merchants don't know it's happening until the damage is already done — chargebacks, fraud alerts, processor warnings, or a Visa monitoring program flag. And here's the part most business owners get wrong: fraud prevention isn't your processor's job. It's yours.In this episode, I show you exactly how fraudsters test stolen cards on ecommerce sites and the fraud prevention tools every online business should have turned on to protect their merchant account — including several settings most merchants don't even know exist.

On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we confront a devastating surge of economic warfare, structural negligence, and physical violence targeting Black and non-white employees. As the summer heat intensifies, corporate entities and state actors are shifting liabilities directly onto the backs of non-white workers. We break down the explosive new legal filings and news reports that track the systematic destruction of safety and security on the clock: 1. The Milwaukee Garbage Truck Explosion: We dissect the horrific incident where a city sanitation worker suffered severe eye injuries after improperly disposed oxygen tanks exploded during the truck's compacting process. We look past the administrative public relations to analyze the extreme, unpredictable physical hazards shifted directly onto laborers on the ground. 2. The Wisconsin DWD Fake Hearing Scam: We expose a sophisticated multi-state fraud campaign targeted primarily at Spanish-speaking injured laborers. Fraudsters staged elaborate, fake online workers' compensation "hearings"—complete with fake judges and bailiffs—to steal over $30,000 in bogus legal fees, demonstrating the ruthless victimization of non-white workers navigating administrative systems. 3. The Punjabi Immigrant Trucker Purge: We scrutinize President Donald Trump's aggressive proposal to explicitly replace 130,000 undocumented immigrant truck drivers—heavily consisting of Punjabi and Sikh workers—with American military veterans. We deconstruct this economic warfare to reveal how the state manipulates labor pipelines to strip independent livelihood away from targeted non-white communities. 4. The Nursing Shortage Gender Initiative: We evaluate a university's targeted campaign rolling out a "welcome mat" to actively recruit men into the nursing field amid a structural healthcare staffing shortage. We look at the systemic maneuvers that prioritize gender-balancing corporate initiatives over addressing the hyper-exploitative working environments on the floor. 5. The North County Restaurant Citation: We break down the camera footage and subsequent citation of a local establishment after an employee exploitation probe. We analyze the transactional mechanics of customer-facing environments where small businesses cut corners on safety and wage compliance, trapping non-white staff in volatile conditions. 6. The DeKalb County Sheriff Hostile Environment Verdict: We examine the federal jury verdict finding DeKalb County Sheriff Melody Maddox guilty of creating a sexually hostile work environment for female jailers. We deconstruct the toxic institutional defense narrative that told female guards being subjected to sexual acts and rape threats by inmates was just "part of the job," highlighting the complete failure of management accountability. 7. The Ignored Shooter Warning Logs: We dissect unsealed email records revealing that a workplace shooter explicitly warned corporate management about escalating, volatile friction long before opening fire. This tragedy stands as a grim validation of our thesis: corporate management will willfully ignore everyday hostility and unaddressed HR complaints until they boil over into bloodshed. Between infrastructure explosions, fraudulent legal proceedings, structural economic purges, and unheeded workplace warnings, survival remains your only valid metric of success. Your absolute priority on the clock is no longer corporate validation or climbing a rigged ladder—it is implementing a strict "Workplace Matters Only" code, maintaining absolute silence on personal affairs, and limiting your daily footprint to survive your shift alive and in one piece. #SurviveYourShift #SafetyFirst #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #WorkplaceViolence INVEST in The COWS!

Can you still trust an incoming phone call when AI can imitate a familiar voice, personalize the conversation and target information specifically to you? In this episode, I speak with Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail, about how artificial intelligence is changing phone fraud and why the personal devices carried by employees are becoming part of the corporate attack surface. Alex explains how YouMail uses data from its consumer call-protection service to identify scam behavior, understand the type of fraud taking place and connect those patterns with the phone numbers involved. Advances in large language models have improved this analysis, but the same technology is also helping criminals build far more convincing campaigns. Generic robocalls are being replaced by personalized conversations designed to extract information, impersonate trusted people and manipulate victims. Fraudsters can use AI throughout the attack chain, from identifying targets and analyzing stolen data to generating dialogue and adapting an approach during the call. Alex argues that attackers have adopted these capabilities faster than many defenders expected because successful fraud produces an immediate financial return. The conversation also examines why voice biometrics can no longer be treated as sufficient proof of identity. As voice-cloning tools improve, companies may need to combine multiple forms of authentication and move sensitive communications into trusted applications. A call received through a banking app, for example, could give the customer greater confidence that the caller really represents their bank. For businesses, the risk extends beyond company-managed technology. Attackers can identify where someone works, learn about their role and contact them through a personal phone that may sit outside corporate monitoring. An employee's private number can therefore provide another route into the business through impersonation and social engineering. Alex also makes a persuasive case for collecting less personal data. Personalization can improve a service, but every additional piece of information becomes something an attacker might obtain during a breach. His advice is to identify the minimum information needed to deliver the intended experience rather than gathering data simply because it may prove useful later. Despite the seriousness of the threat, Alex offers evidence that coordinated action can produce results. He has seen brand-impersonation campaigns reduced from tens of millions of calls each month to around 100,000 through monitoring, disruption and cooperation between businesses and telecommunications providers. If AI is making fraudulent calls harder to recognize, should businesses stop treating the telephone network as a trusted communication channel by default?
