Getting a call that someone you love has been arrested is scary enough. Getting that call from someone who sounds official, knows just enough to seem credible, and says you have to send money right away is exactly the kind of moment scammers are counting on. Julie Henderson is the president of the North Carolina Bail Agents Association and has spent 24 years working in the bail bond industry.  She started in the field almost by accident after applying for what she thought was a legislative assistant job, and she has stayed because she cares about helping people get through one of the most stressful situations a family can face. In this episode, Julie explains what is really happening with bail bond scams, how scammers are finding people so quickly, and why these calls can feel so convincing.  We also learn what a legitimate bail process should look like, what families can do to verify whether someone is actually in jail, and why no one should be rushed into sending gift cards or app payments. She also shares simple ways to prepare before something happens, including using a family password and knowing where to report a scam if one of these calls comes in. Show Notes: [01:51] Julie Henderson explains what bail bondsmen do, how the process works in North Carolina, and why a bondsman's job is to help ensure clients return to court. [04:00] Bail bond scams have increased sharply, with scammers often targeting people who recently had contact with law enforcement. [07:16] Common scam tactics include fake ankle monitor fees, gift card demands, urgent threats, and claims that someone will be moved into a dangerous part of the jail. [10:55] Legitimate bail agents should answer questions calmly, provide ways to verify the situation, and allow families time to make decisions. [13:51] Fake case numbers, badge numbers, and license numbers can sound convincing, so independent verification is essential. [16:09] Taking five or ten minutes to verify the facts will rarely affect whether someone can be released. [18:15] Public jail records, apps, and online information may help scammers find arrest details quickly. [21:42] Bail bond scams are likely underreported because victims may feel embarrassed or believe nothing will be done. [23:30] A personal family scam story shows how realistic and emotionally convincing these calls can be. [26:53] Education, patience, and clearer communication can help families recognize scams before they send money. [29:45] Scam reports should go to the FBI, Internet Crime Complaint Center, state attorneys general, and any agency being impersonated. [32:47] Legitimate payment methods vary, but pressure to send gift cards, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal should raise immediate red flags. [35:00] Advice includes trusting your gut, slowing down, and verifying the situation before handing over money. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Chase Bunker is in for Kristine Bellino today. FBI Special Agent in Charge Jason Carley has tips to keep your kids safe online during their summer break. As kids spend less time in a classroom or structured social activities, they're more likely to spend time online, leading to increased risks of bullying, harassment, and exploitation. Some education, some parental control/privacy resources, monitoring passwords & emails, and staying informed and engaged in their activities (games, social media platforms, etc) can go a long way to protecting them. You can learn more at the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov), and if you suspect a predatory encounter call your local police or the FBI 800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324), locally 904-248-7000.

Cybercrime has officially entered its "hold my beer" era. In this episode, we break down the FBI's annual Internet Crime Complaint Center report and the numbers are equal parts fascinating and horrifying. We're talking over $20 billion in reported losses, exploding ransomware attacks, AI-powered scams, fake charities, romance cons, business email compromises, and criminals who apparently work harder than some middle managers. It's a practical, eye-opening look at how modern scams actually work — and why staying skeptical online may now qualify as a survival skill. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/560

This is the story of what happened in the hours, days, and moments leading up to the collapse of one of the largest alleged Ponzi schemes in America.THE FIRST SIGNS OF TROUBLEThe earliest warning came quietly. Investors expecting their November 14th payouts woke to an unexpected message from Goliath Ventures Inc. The company claimed that distributions were being delayed due to a “forensic audit,” a phrase familiar to anyone who has watched a Ponzi scheme run out of road.At first glance, the announcement was dressed up as a professional update. But the tone was wrong. Too cheerful. Too rehearsed. Too polished for a situation where millions of dollars had suddenly stopped flowing.It didn't take long for people to realise this wasn't just a delay. It was the beginning of the end.THE INSIDERS GET THEIR MONEY OUTAs ordinary investors waited, confused and anxious, information began to surface that key insiders had been pulling out staggering amounts of money—tens of millions—just days earlier. Names like Nick Petrillo, Tomo Marjanovic, Punit Shah, and Jayson Newton continued popping up. Their romantic partners and family members reportedly cashed out while payouts to everyone else were frozen.The most blatant example involved Stacie Shenkman, widely known to be close to insider Nick Petrillo. While investors begged for withdrawals, she and several others connected to Goliath's leadership allegedly walked away with large sums.This pattern is classic Ponzi behaviour: insiders escape with whatever remains while the average investor is told to “stay patient.”THE AUDIT WITH NO NAMEGoliath Ventures told its investors that a “leading Forensic Certified Public Accountant firm” had been engaged. What they didn't say was more revealing: no firm name, no license number, no engagement letter, no confirmation from the alleged auditor.Real audits—especially during crisis—are always transparent.Here, everything was concealed.Even individuals with more than $10 million invested were denied basic information. And when the company invoked the name of Joel Glick from Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors + CPAs, they offered no proof that an engagement even existed.An audit without a name is not an audit.It's a stall tactic.THE AGENCIES NOW INVOLVEDInvestors are now being urged to contact the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the RCMP in Canada. The United States Secret Service has a dedicated contact point for crypto-related fraud:cryptofraud@usss.dhs.govVictims are also encouraged to file formal complaints through the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.Time matters now. Assets dissipate quickly once insiders start scrambling.THE FINAL CHAPTER BEGINSOnce the payouts stopped, the façade collapsed.Goliath Ventures no longer looks like a company undergoing an audit.It looks like a Ponzi scheme in freefall.The tone of their communication has grown increasingly desperate. The promises are empty. The reassurances are hollow. And the insiders—those closest to Delgado—have already secured their exits.For everyone else, the fight to recover funds begins now.READ THE FULL INVESTIGATION:https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/goliath-ventures-payouts-stop-insiders-pull-10s-of-millions-while-everyone-else-waits/SUPPORT MY WORK:- Support The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger: https://ko-fi.com/dehekTAGS:#GoliathVentures, #PonziScheme, #InvestmentFrBuy Me a Coffee I'm on @buymeacoffee.

 Last year, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 18,000 reports of confidence/romance scams that resulted in losses of more than $672 million. Perpetrators of romance scams typically find their victims online, often through social media. They use a fake persona to deceive victims into trusting them or believing they’re interested in them romantically while making gradually increasing demands for money, which is usually sent by wire or cryptocurrency. The FBI says there was a record $9.3 billion in losses in the U.S. last year from scams involving cryptocurrency.    Romance scams can be especially costly for victims. The Columbian recently reported that between January 2021 and November 2024, Vancouver residents who were victims of romance scams lost an average of $112,000, according to the Vancouver Police Department. Sgt. Jay Alie, who oversees the VPD’s Property Crime Unit, says that while many romance scam victims are over the age of 60, people in their 30s and 40s have also fallen for them. Alie’s investigations of romance scams have widened beyond Vancouver to reveal other victims across the U.S. who’ve been ensnared in them, acting as middlemen to launder money for scammers they also believed they were in relationships with.   Sgt. Alie joins us for more details about these scams as they grow more sophisticated and shares how to protect yourself or vulnerable loved ones from them.  

Debbie Deem joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss how transnational fraud predators are stealing billions from older adults and the intersection between financial crimes and human trafficking. Debbie Deem Debbie Deem is a retired FBI victim specialist with over 40 years of experience serving crime victims. She's currently an elder justice victim advocate, specializing in transnational fraud crimes and she serves as co-facilitator for the National Adult Protective Services Association Fraud Forum. She helped start the Victim Assistance Programs at the US Attorney's Office in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, where in the early to mid-1990s she discovered what we now call human trafficking victims and was assisting those victims while also working with financial crime victims. After moving to the FBI in 2003, she began focusing on older victims of lottery, sweepstakes, and romance frauds, gravitating toward the most underserved victims throughout her career. Key Points Financial fraud against older adults is now the most common crime happening around the world, with $4.9 billion reported stolen from Americans 60 and older in 2024 alone, representing a 33% increase from the previous year. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that close to $160 billion per year is stolen from all Americans due to fraud crimes, making this a massive underreported crisis. Language matters when discussing fraud victims - using terms like "defrauded" instead of "scammed" helps maintain victim dignity and reduces blame, similar to how language evolved in human trafficking advocacy. Common fraud types include romance frauds using stolen military or celebrity images, crypto investment frauds starting with innocent text messages, lottery/sweepstakes frauds, tech support impersonations, and phantom hacking where criminals impersonate bank security. Victims experience trauma bonds and love bombing similar to human trafficking victims, making it extremely difficult to recognize they're being manipulated even when red flags are present. The neuroscience behind financial fraud shows that brain chemistry and excitement responses make these relationships feel authentic to victims, requiring neuropsychologists and medical professionals to help explain what's happening. System failures are widespread - in one case study, a victim lost $380,000 but police didn't respond, banks didn't file required Adult Protective Services reports, and victim services provided no meaningful support. Crypto ATMs have become "fraud machines" found in gas stations and small stores, though California now limits transactions to $1,000 per day, causing criminals to evolve to using couriers and other methods. Prevention strategies include not answering unknown phone calls, getting scam warning apps, sharing personal fraud experiences with family members rather than lecturing, and establishing trusted contacts on all financial accounts. Revictimization occurs through recovery scams where criminals impersonate law enforcement agencies claiming they can help recover stolen funds, and through tax obligations on money withdrawn from retirement accounts even when it was stolen. The crime creates long-term devastation including bankruptcy, homelessness, suicide ideation, and forcing elderly victims back into the workforce after losing life savings. This field is where human trafficking advocacy was 20 years ago - needing widespread recognition, proper terminology, victim services, and systemic responses to address the crisis effectively.

With cryptocurrency's increasing popularity, it's crucial to be aware of the prevalence of crypto scams. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions. However, the rise of crypto has also led to a surge in scams. It's important to stay alert to spot these scams and avoid falling victim to them.    Links: Report any crypto scams you encounter to any or all of the agencies below: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ https://www.cftc.gov/complaint https://www.sec.gov/submit-tip-or-complaint/tips-complaints-resources/report-suspected-securities-fraud-or-wrongdoing https://www.ic3.gov/Home/Index Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!

If your crypto account gets hacked or the company that provides storage for your wallet goes out of business, your money is gone. The government has no obligation to step in and help you get your money back. In comparison, U.S. dollars deposited into an FDIC or NCUA-insured account are safe. Those coverages insure deposits up to $250,000 in the event of a financial institution failure.    That said, it's important not to fall for a cryptocurrency scam. Here are some common scams and their warning signs. First, suppose someone you're considering doing business with only accepts cryptocurrency payments. That should be a red flag, especially if the company demands that you send the payment before receiving any product or service.    A common crypto scam is an investment scam. If someone asks you to invest in a new crypto coin that guarantees quick and significant returns, it's most likely a scam. Crypto investment scams can come in many forms. A scammer might pose as an investment manager promising to make you rich if you buy cryptocurrency and transfer it to their account. They might even create a fake website to trick you further. It's also known that scammers have tried to impersonate celebrities, offering to multiply any cryptocurrency you send them. Scammers will also go on dating apps to find their targets. They might seem interested in you, but it's a red flag if they start talking about crypto and try to get you to invest with them.    Rug pull scams are also very common with cryptocurrency. Rug pull scams are when investment scammers pump up a new NFT or coin to raise funds. Once they get the money that people invested, they disappear. The way these "investments" are coded prevents people from being able to sell or trade them, making them effectively worthless.   Another crypto scam is when fraudsters impersonate a business or the government. They might say they're from Amazon, EZ-Pass, or even your financial institution and claim that there's fraud on your account or your money is at risk. They'll say that to fix the issue, you have to send them crypto. Don't click links or respond to their messages; it is a scam.   One last crypto scam is blackmail. Scammers might contact you saying that they have compromising photos, videos, audio, or information about you. If you don't send them crypto, they'll send it all to your friends, family, place of work, and school. Don't do it and report it to the FBI immediately.    If you encounter a crypto scam, there are a few things you should and shouldn't do. First of all, don't engage with the scammer. Many of these scams are mass messages that the scammer sends out and are not explicitly targeted at you. Responding to the scammer lets them know you exist and can be targeted for their scam. What you should do is ignore the message. You can also report the fraud to multiple places, including the Federal Trade Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internet Crime Complaint Center, and the cryptocurrency exchange company you encountered the scam on. Links to all of these resources will be available in the show notes.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Toll text scams are increasing, with a 900% rise in searches for "toll road scams" in three months. The prevalence of these scams has quadrupled between January and February. Hackers bypass security features on devices, prompting users to respond to harmful links. Reporting these messages provides temporary relief, as scammers quickly shift to new numbers. The FBI documented over 2,000 complaints and advises filing reports with the Internet Crime Complaint Center and deleting suspicious texts. The Federal Trade Commission warns against clicking unsolicited links. Scammers acquire phone numbers and domains in bulk, sending millions of messages tied to various state toll systems. Their main goal is to collect personal information for identity theft and unauthorized transactions. Caution is essential; do not click or respond to toll scam texts and delete them immediately.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, has permeated our way of life. It feels like every tech corporation is pushing their latest AI tool or feature to help make your life better. Unfortunately, with AI going mostly unchecked, it can easily become a detrimental tool for the wrong people. Deepfakes in particular can be manipulative and dangerous. Here's what you need to know about deepfakes and how to combat them.  Links: Report deepfakes with the Internet Crime Complaint Center Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.    If you don't already know, deepfakes are videos, images, or audio of someone or something that has been altered by AI. These deepfakes can be used to portray a person doing something that they haven't done and or wouldn't have done. This can easily be a conduit to spread disinformation.  For example, deepfakes can be made of politicians to make it seem like they said something or did something, when in reality it was created by AI. The deepfake can make the politician say something that might be controversial or visually put the politician in a compromising position. This can be devasting to their campaign, especially if people believe it is real.   Similarly, celebrities have been mimicked by deep fakes. Some of it is innocent, such as de-aging an actor for a movie. However, celebrity deepfakes have been used to endorse products or politicians without the celebrity's consent.  You don't have to be famous to be a victim of deepfakes. If scammers can get a recording of your voice, they can make you say whatever they want with AI. They can then call people that you know and talk to them with your voice. Scammers use this technique to then scam your loved ones into thinking you're in some kind of trouble and need money. Similarly to politicians and celebrities, your likeness can be recreated with deepfakes. If someone has images or videos of your face, they can make a deepfake of you doing whatever they want.   Fortunately, there are ways to decrease the likelihood of having a deepfake made of you, or at the very least make it more difficult for scammers to create one of you. Be careful with what you share online and who you share it with. Scammers need images, videos, or audio of you to create a deepfake. The more media they have of you, the easier it is to make a realistic deepfake. Only share your photos and videos with people you trust. If you use social media, limit who can see your posts. You can also watermark your media which makes it harder to make a deepfake and also makes it easier to trace who created it.  If you find deepfake content of yourself or someone you know, report it on the platform it's hosted on. You should also report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center. If you are the victim of a deepfake, you may want to consult legal counsel and find out what your next steps are.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Content warning: stalking, catfishing, fraud, narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and criminal threats.  As shared in part one of her story, Jordan is a mother and survivor from Florida. She originally reached out to the Broken Cycle media team after hearing similarities between her journey and the journeys of the women from season 20 of Something Was Wrong.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will soon convert its tolling system to Open Road Rolling east of Reading and on the Northeast Extension. The Open Road Tolling system will be in place in January 2025. The turnpike was opened in 1940 with a cash collection system, then in the 2000's the EZ pass was added. Craig Shuey, Chief Operating Officer of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, says the Open Road Tolling (OTR) system will be safer for drivers, and will be better for the environment. “When we remove the toll plazas, the 6 or 7 lanes that exist in many of those areas will be shrunk down to a smaller number of lanes, moving the same amount of traffic more efficiently with less, less impervious surface. So, we'll be able to pull up the pavement, refocus the lanes, you know, recede and allow a more natural environment to, to, to be a part of the, of the landscape than all of the buildings and structures that go along with our existing toll plazas, “said Shuey. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) believes the OTR system is what their customers prefer. According to PTC, more than 86 percent of drivers own an EZ pass, indicating a preference for electronic payments. “So, what our customers are telling us is they don't really want to stop anymore. They for a while, they were really, you know, struggling. They weren't carrying cash. So that was becoming a bit of an issue. But by and large, the motoring public wants to keep going to get to this destination. So, what this allows us to do is really shoulder in with the majority of our customers and give them the free-flowing experience that I think they've been looking for, “said Shuey. This summer, PTC has also been focused on warning the public of the rise of Smishing Scams. It's basically a text message claiming to be from PA turnpike. “So, what was happening is you were getting a text to your phone that said, you owe the Pennsylvania Turnpike $8 or something to that effect. And if you pay it now, it will grow to $86. And they give you a, a fake website that looks like the words PA turnpike.com, which is not, but enough to close enough to fool your eyes. And when you click on that and give them your credit card information, they then use your credit card for, for, to make charges that obviously you are not, authorizing, “said Shuey.

The Electronic Funds Transfer Act – passed in 1978 – is meant to protect U.S. consumers from being defrauded when they make a transaction via an ATM, debit card or direct deposit or by point-of-sale and phone transactions. But the law makes an exception for wire transfers. And in recent years, wire fraud has exploded as scammers are making use of the loophole. According to the FBI, its Internet Crime Complaint Center received reports of this type of fraud totaling $2.4 billion in losses in 2021.
