If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Picture 12

That is the best way to Think Like A Spy and be alert of Social Engineers that are trying to manipulate you. With such a gloomy economy and many people without work, offers for fast cash and huge discounts become more and more attractive. Most of these Identity Theft cases use the technique of Social Engineering.

Social Engineering is the act of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information by playing on their human emotions. The term typically applies to deception for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victim. These days most thieves can nab your identity over the phone, mail, email, and through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. While some schemes scam you into giving out social security numbers, bank account numbers or other confidential identity pieces, others are as simple as a pickpocket distracting you emotionally while another thief steals your wallet or purse. Here are what a few of the most widely used savvy cyber attacks look like: * Phony charitable phishing scams, many of which are designed to look as if they come from real charities. Always enter in the exact URL for the Charity that you wish to donate to rather than clicking on a link. * Urgent email or text notices from your bank. They tell you to click on a link to access your account to fix an important, time sensitive problem. Dont click on a link via email. Always type in the exact URL of your your bank or call the number on the back of your card. Nothing is that urgent.

Saw something like this it's really good! Imagine how you trust people with your information. I became a whistblower without even knowing it! The government didn't even know what I would testify to! Two years later I was fired but won my UC hearing that they kept going all day. I didn't even have to testify! They looked like fools. It's ALL on tape. They said they were out to get me! For what?
