Podcasts about Identity theft

Hello to you listening in Spokane, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Christopher Armitage writing The Existentialist Republic on Substack posted an article entitled Democrats Can Launch Criminal Investigations into DOGE, Today. According to Armitage dozens of state investigations have the power to bring criminal actions to hold Musk/DOGE accountable for pirating private Social Security Administration (SSA) data and releasing it to third parties. Click HERE to read the article and get ready to take steps to e-mail your County Prosecutor, Governor and Attorney General.     Following are three email templates you can use if you live in the Great State of Washington. For all other states, please check the Substack article comments to find yours. If you don't see your state, comment in the post to receive your state's relevant statutes and templates to email. Thank you for listening and taking action wherever your feet touch the ground! Email 1: To your Washington State County Prosecutor Dear, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols. The SSA has confirmed it cannot determine what data was shared or whether it still exists on that server. A DOGE team member also sent an encrypted file believed to contain the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 people to the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE leadership, and the SSA has been unable to access the file to verify its contents. The filing further revealed that a DOGE employee signed a "Voter Data Agreement" with a political advocacy group seeking to match Social Security records against state voter rolls to overturn election results in certain states. The SSA made two Hatch Act referrals to the Office of Special Counsel as a result. Separately, NPR has reported that DOGE engineer Aram Moghaddassi contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. SSA records include the personal information of Washington residents in [your county]. This conduct may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties. I'm asking you to refer this matter to Attorney General Brown so his Criminal Justice Division can investigate whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. The AG's office has confirmed it needs a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to act. You have the authority to open that door. Thank you for your time and your service to our community. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 2: To the Washington State Governor Ferguson Dear Governor Ferguson, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols. The SSA has confirmed it cannot determine what data was shared or whether it still exists on that server. A DOGE team member also sent an encrypted file believed to contain the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 people to the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE leadership, and the SSA has been unable to access the file to verify its contents. The filing further revealed that a DOGE employee signed a "Voter Data Agreement" with a political advocacy group seeking to match Social Security records against state voter rolls to overturn election results in certain states. The SSA made two Hatch Act referrals to the Office of Special Counsel as a result. Separately, NPR has reported that a DOGE engineer contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. These actions may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). The personal information of millions of Washington residents is contained in SSA records. Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties, and a state conviction cannot be erased by a presidential pardon. The Attorney General's office has confirmed it requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. I'm asking you to make that referral so Attorney General Brown can determine whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. Thank you for your leadership. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 3: To the Washington State Attorney General's Office The Honorable Nick Brown, I understand that the Washington Attorney General's office requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. Toward that end I've written to both my [insert your county's name]  County prosecutor [insert the prosecutor's name] and Governor Ferguson requesting that they make such a referral. Specifically, I've asked them to refer the matter of DOGE employees' handling of Social Security Administration data, as described in the January 2026 DOJ court filing and subsequent reporting, for investigation under Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). I wanted your office to be aware that this request is coming, and I hope Attorney General Brown will be prepared to act when the referral arrives.

The Diabolical Cult and their curse over mankind is stronger now than ever before. Their spell has poisoned nearly every mind, and most are hypnotically following their lead. The perversion, the blatant disregard for reason and consequence, and the bold recklessness of their threats have given only a few that inescapable feeling. A calling to action they can't and won't ignore. As this cult has in the past, they target the most innocent. They convince a depraved world to do unspeakable things to their own children. All seem distracted or disinterested. But some of us hear the war drum in their hearts, and know exactly what our role is, our purpose, our destiny. Are you one as well?

We have some follow up where Joe shares a scam call he received. Dave's got the story on a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting Apple Pay users through fake emails and voice calls impersonating customer support, as well as Australia's ClickFit initiative warning that romance scammers are exploiting trust online for emotional and financial gain. Joe's story is about a former Ohio bank employee who used his insider access to steal identities and siphon roughly $2 million from elderly customers, ultimately leading to his arrest in Chicago and federal conviction. Maria's story is about a daughter who discovers her 84-year-old mother has been financially exploited by trusted professionals and even family members, underscoring how elder fraud often comes from familiar faces. It highlights the rapid rise in elder financial abuse and the urgent need for families to step in early—before cognitive decline makes the losses irreversible. Our catch of the day come's from the "Australian Government" on a tax document being floated around.

Identity theft is usually framed as an external threat. Hackers, data breaches, anonymous criminals operating somewhere far away. This episode looks at a much harder reality to face: identity theft that happens inside families, often quietly, over many years, and without immediate detection. The damage isn't just financial. It reshapes trust, relationships, and a person's sense of stability long before anyone realizes what's happening. My guest is Axton Betz-Hamilton, an associate professor of financial counseling and planning whose research focuses on familial and child identity theft. Her work is deeply personal. As a teenager, Axton discovered her own credit had been destroyed before she ever had a chance to build it, the result of identity theft that began when she was a child. Years later, she uncovered the truth behind who was responsible and how multiple generations were affected. We talk about how familial identity theft works, why it's so difficult to detect, and what recovery really looks like when the person who caused the harm was someone you trusted. The conversation covers the long road to rebuilding credit, the emotional fallout that often gets overlooked, and the practical steps people can take to protect themselves and their children before damage is done. Show Notes: [02:15] Axton Betz-Hamilton explains how her parents' identities were stolen in the early 1990s, before consumers had legal protections. [03:50] Discovering a 10-page credit report at age 19 and realizing her financial life was damaged before it began. [05:45] What it's like to learn your credit score is in the second percentile nationwide and why that realization changes everything. [07:10] How early frustration with identity theft shaped Axton's academic path and research focus. [09:05] The moment evidence surfaced pointing to a family member as the source of the identity theft. [10:45] Uncovering decades of fraudulent accounts affecting multiple generations within one family. [12:50] How grief abruptly shifted into investigation after learning the truth about who caused the harm. [15:20] The long, two-track process of disputing fraudulent credit while slowly rebuilding legitimate credit history. [17:40] Why some fraudulent accounts had to age off credit reports instead of being removed. [19:05] How isolation and manipulation can allow familial identity theft to continue undetected for years. [21:55] Exploring possible motivations behind the theft and how financial behaviors can repeat across generations. [23:10] The simplest way to detect identity theft is by regularly checking all three credit reports. [24:30] Why freezing your credit is one of the most effective and underused protection tools. [26:05] The importance of freezing children's credit to prevent damage that may not surface until adulthood. [28:00] How modern tools like IRS identity PINs reduce the risk of tax-related identity theft. [30:15] Using E-Verify freezes to prevent identity theft tied to employment and income. [33:10] The emotional impact of familial identity theft and why boundaries are often necessary for healing. [35:00] How family systems fracture when some members believe the victim and others defend the offender. [36:40] Why mental health support is a critical part of recovery, not an optional one. [38:00] The Identity Theft Resource Center as a comprehensive support option for victims navigating recovery.  Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

It's a brand new season of Random but Memorable — and we're kicking things off with practical security for the people you care about most.

Protect your identity from tax-season scams and learn when 401(k) and IRA rollovers make sense. How do you roll over old 401(k)s and IRAs? And is a mega backdoor Roth worth the hassle? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola answer listener questions about retirement account rollovers, including when consolidation can help and how to avoid common missteps. But first, they kick off Identity Theft Awareness Week (and tax season) with a refresher on how you can protect your data, including pausing before you click or pay, updating passwords and tightening account security, and recognizing common scam tactics like fake websites, IRS impostors, smishing, and AI-powered impersonation. Then, investing Nerd Sam Taube joins Sean and Elizabeth for a lightning round all about retirement account rollovers. They answer listener questions about whether to roll over and consolidate multiple old 401(k) accounts, whether a mega backdoor Roth is worth the hassle and potential tax complexity, whether consolidating multiple IRAs is likely to boost returns or mainly simplify finances, and whether rollover IRAs have the same bankruptcy and creditor protections as 401(k)s.

And how is the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) helping make AI more responsible and fairer?In this episode, Punit Bhatia sits down with Pam Dixon, founder and executive director of the World Privacy Forum, to talk about how we can build trust and protect our privacy in a rapidly changing digital world.

What happens to a marriage when approval—not Christ—defines identity?In this CFL Podcast team discussion, we explore Identity Theft in Marriage and how performance, people-pleasing, and fear of rejection slowly undermine honesty and trust. Drawing from Galatians 1:10, we unpack why honesty starts to feel dangerous when identity is tied to approval—and why defensiveness is often a sign of an identity threat, not stubbornness.We discuss common false identities spouses bring into marriage—the Performer, Peacekeeper, Fixer, and Protector—and how shame reinforces these roles over time.This episode will help in understanding how being secure in Christ creates emotional safety, not complacency. You'll walk away with simple, practical tools couples can use this week to lower defenses, restore connection, and rebuild trust.

In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay vanished from San Antonio, Texas, never to be seen again. Three years later, a young man claiming to be Nicholas resurfaced in Spain, but something wasn't right.

Tax season is officially here, and while you’re looking for your refund, scammers are looking for your data. In this episode, host Bryan Barrett sits down with James P

As we step into a new year, now is the perfect time to start fresh-and that includes safeguarding yourself against tax identity theft. Everyone is at risk of falling victim to tax identity theft, and thousands of Americans are impacted by this crime each year. Fraudsters often target taxpayers early in the year, hoping to take advantage of the busy tax season preparations.  Links: Get started on this year's taxes, consider filing through IRS Free File Guided Tax Software IRS tips for finding a trustworthy tax professional Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   According to the IRS, tax-related identity theft occurs when someone uses your stolen personal information, including your Social Security number (SSN), to file a tax return claiming a fraudulent refund. A successful scammer can create an online return using your SSN, even if they don't spell your name right. Once the fraudulent account is established, they can not only use it to file taxes on your behalf and receive your refund but also to receive future payments from the federal government. The criminals are adept at using accounts that funnel money into prepaid debit cards so that it is untraceable and unrecoverable.  Here are five tips to help you avoid becoming the next victim and help protect yourself against tax-related identity theft.  Secure Your Personal Information.  Keep your Social Security number (SSN) or individual tax identification number (ITIN) in a secure location. When asked for these numbers, be skeptical and verify that it is a legitimate need. Additionally, keep your home computer security software up to date, and run regular software updates on your connected devices, including the seemingly less risky ones like smartwatches.  File Your Taxes Early and Securely.  The sooner you submit your tax return, the harder it is for fraudsters to submit a fake one in your name. As soon as you have the necessary documentation, go ahead and take care of this right away. Always file taxes through a reputable service and use a secure internet connection if filing online; avoid transmitting such sensitive information through public Wi-Fi. You may consider filing through IRS Free File Guided Tax Software. If you feel more comfortable relying on a professional to prepare your tax return, choose your tax preparer with care.  Monitor Your Financial Statements, Mail, and Email.  Regularly check account statements for any unusual activity. Your first sign of tax identity theft this season will usually be a letter from the IRS after filing your return, informing you that one has already been filed using your SSN. Year-round, expected payments that are not received are another sign to watch for. Also be mindful of any tax reporting documents from employers you have never worked with. Rather than ignoring them, follow up to ensure someone else hasn't stolen your identity and taken a job using your information.  Communicate with Caution.  Beware of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or text messages asking for personal information, and verify the source before you respond. Remember, the IRS will never initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text, or social media to request personal or financial information, including your taxpayer Identity Protection PIN, nor will they ever threaten lawsuits or arrest.  Create an Online Account at the IRS Website.  Visit the IRS online account website (www.irs.gov) to create your account now and monitor it regularly. While a lot of personal information is required to create the account, once you have done so, you can monitor your tax activity throughout the year, including if a return has been filed in your name. Through your online IRS account, you can then request an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). Once established, the PIN must be included on your federal tax return in order for it to be processed as valid.  Remember, even with all these precautions, tax-related identity theft can still happen. That's why Triangle Credit Union offers Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery services for Better Checking account holders. If you suspect your identity has been compromised or you suspect identity theft for any reason, Identity Theft Recovery Advocates will help you recover and mitigate any damage. Learn more about Better Checking at trianglecu.org or click the link in the show notes.   If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

The narrative is seeded, the pitfalls are many and the dangers are huge. Responsibility is concentrated and blame can be more easily assigned. There are now actors more interested in chaos than restraint. It makes him look like a tyrant. AI is explained, moralized and described to death. Greenland is important for national security. Standard procedure for the MSM is to distort all stories. Domestic terror cells were activated yesterday. Why is the insurection act promoted by both political parties? All media outlets are pushing it too. Unconventional warfare is now raging. RINO's sing a sad tune. The law and the narratives are no longer alligned. Framing is more important that facts. Full authority means a concentrated spotlight. It's all a show. Passport issues are now common for Americans. The purple ones are temporary. How do you lose your passport? People are training overseas to overthrow our government here. FAFO started here. Specific shows sent pointed messages. A look back at some previous immigration related shows. The Jewish side of the welfare fraud. Let's play fair with terrorism accusations. China has military bases in Canada. Now is the time to stop playing the games and concentrate on what is truly important.

In der legendären Crew der originalen Star-Trek-Serie war er der letzte Zugang und als solcher ein oft unbeschriebenes Blatt: Pavel Chekov, in Deutschland gelegentlich Pane genannt. Sitznachbar von Sulu, später für eine desaströse Mission auf der Reliant angeheuert und schließlich Sicherheitschef der Enterprise-A. Greg Cox' neuer TOS-Roman "Identity Theft" setzt dem Russen buchstäblich die Hörner auf, schickt ihn auf ein spaßiges Action-Abenteuer zwischen fünftem und sechstem Kinofilm und bedient sich unverhofft einer eher unbeliebten TOS-Episode. Die Tadderiche laden zum Buchklub.

In today's conversation we talk about the pain and heartache of having our true identity stolen.Who I Am in Christ

Brian BonsallTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Brian Bonsall. When Brian was very young, he joined the cast of the hit television show Family Ties, where he played Andy for over 80 episodes. Brian was also on several other shows including Star Trek: The Next Generation; before jumping onto the big screen with films like: 'Mikey', 'Father and Scout', and my personal favorite 'Blank Check'. About the age of 14 or so, Brian moved on from acting. He went to school, moved across the country, and discovered punk & pop punk music. He fell in love instantly with the genre. In this episode, we chat about some of those acting projects, and how he came to be in the industry in the first place. We talk about why he left the industry, and what he found in music. Brian discusses some of the bands he has been part of including Bootjack & Bons, Sunset Silhouette, and his newest endeavor Lights In The Sky. He also shares fun stories about some of the musical opportunities that have come his way; including playing with The Ataris, and even getting to play in Las Vegas at the When We Were Young Tour, the largest audience he has ever played in front of. Along the way, we deep dive into several different aspects of his storied career. From child actor and star to redemption story, to husband, father, and family man. Brian graciously allows me to play a couple of songs from two of his bands, I love them, and I think you will too! Lastly, Brian openly discusses the amazing Courtney, his wife. He fills us in on some recent health scares with her, and how she is doing these days. She is his ROCK. It was an absolute delight to speak with this remarkable and resilient dude. I can't wait to have him back on the show.

Terry Savage, nationally syndicated money columnist, joins Lisa Dent to discuss her latest column addressing identity theft. She breaks down the steps people should take when they discover their accounts have been compromised and are at risk of identity theft. And, as always, she answers questions from listeners.

Brian Russell Jenkinson is an alleged predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen.  At the time of the sting, Jenkinson lived in Lapeer, Michigan. He worked in construction, building roads and working on asphalt. Jenkinson has three children. At the time, they were 22, 7, and 13 years of age. He was unable to see his thirteen-year-old daughter for unknown reasons. Jenkinson has an extensive criminal history, with arrests for Attempted Larceny, Attempted Breaking and Entering, Identity Theft, and Theft of a Financial Transaction Device. He was also charged in Arizona with Assault Causing Injury and Disorderly conduct, although those charges were dismissed.  Jenkinson had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Jenkinson agreed to pay her $100 to have penetrative sex and to receive oral sex. When he was told the address of the sting house, Jenkinson asked the decoy if she was affiliated with law enforcement, saying, "I just don't want you trying to set me up." Jenkinson also agreed to smoke marijuana with the decoy. When Jenkinson arrived at the sting house, Chris began reading from the chat log where Jenkinson talked about "suck and f***." Jenkinson denied ever saying anything sexual to the decoy. Instead, Jenkinson blamed the decoy, claiming that she was the one talking about sexual acts. He also defended himself by saying that, despite the decoy stating her age, she never mentioned it again.

In this week's episode, Matthew and Mark dive into a shocking wave of new fraud stories that all hit the headlines this week—and every one of them exposes the same weak points: identity, responsibility, and accountability.We break down the latest GAO report revealing massive vulnerabilities in Obamacare Marketplace plans—fake identities getting approved, stolen Social Security numbers used in dozens of applications, brokers making unauthorized changes, and taxpayers footing the bill for millions in bogus subsidies. Then we travel to Minnesota, where Medicaid and COVID-era relief fraud has surged past the $1 billion mark, with new cases showing how nonprofits, brokers, and even ghost companies exploited programs designed to help real families.And yes… in case you missed it, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just announced their upcoming wedding. The tabloids call it the love story of the decade—but the Fraud Bros ask: “Is it romance… or the greatest marketing campaign ever conceived?”As always, we connect the thread: fraud happens wherever identity is weak and accountability is missing—whether in healthcare systems, government programs, or even corporate operations. Identity management, internal controls, and segregation of duties aren't just audit words… they're the guardrails that keep taxpayer dollars, patient data, and entire programs from going off the rails.Support the showFind us on all streaming platforms!

As you listen to the show, I encourage you to step into Debra E. Meyerson's shoes.  Debra had a dream life: a tenured professorship at Stanford, a reputation as a groundbreaking scholar on organizational change and identity, and big adventures with her husband, social finance leader Steve Zuckerman, including sailing across Europe with their three kids. Then, at 53, a stroke changed everything. In the first 48 hours, Steve watched the Debra he knew slip away.  Her speech, her mobility, and everything she took for granted.  After her medical leave expired, her academic career, one she had spent a lifetime building, was taken away. Debra and Steve sit down and share what happens when life happens in an unexpected manner. You will hear Debra struggle to form the sentences she wants to communicate, and Steve talk about what it means to rebuild lives that will never be the same. You will celebrate how they moved from crisis and almost depression to purpose as they create Stroke Onward to support the emotional side of recovery - how Debra found the strength to write her book Identity Theft, and why they took on a 4.500 mile tandem bike ride across America to raise awareness and funds. If you have ever faced a before-and-after moment or loved someone whose life changed in a split second, or you want to feel the power of human positivity, Debra and Steve's story will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about identity theft and the devastating fallout facing an ordinary Minnesota family after a Guatemalan migrant illegally used a U.S. citizen’s Social Security number. He highlights the story of Dan Cluver, a married father of two, who has endured 15 years of debt, IRS penalties, garnished wages, and even involvement in a wrongful-death lawsuit — all because an undocumented worker assumed his identity to gain employment. Brett questions why federal authorities allow this pattern to continue, blasting what he calls the government’s failure to incarcerate or deport offenders who inflict economic and emotional harm on law-abiding Americans. He criticizes the New York Times for soft-pedaling the severity of the damage while portraying the migrant sympathetically. Brett argues that Cluver’s ordeal exposes a broken system — one where normal citizens pay the price while bureaucratic agencies look the other way.
