Net Crimes & Misdemeanors

If you book me to speak at your school, university, college, conference, etc by December 31, 2017, my speaking fee will be just $500 (plus any travel expenses, if needed). You can book me for next year, but need to do it by Dec 31 to get the reduced rate. And I can bring Scooby the Cybercrime Dog if it's within driving distance! Look at my speaking page at then email me at whoa@haltabuse.org or message me here. Please share.

Scammers are getting very clever these days. I got this in my email this morning. I hovered my mouse over the link and surprise! It was amazonprime.com/a bunch of characters. I did not click on it.

Then I realized the email address at the bottom does not even match the one of my Amazon account. I opened the full headers, got the IP address, 23.164.128.102, ran it through whois.sc and it came back to a company called CubeMotion LLC, NOT Amazon.com. Be very careful! Before clicking on any links, always go to the official web site and check your account to verify it if is real or a scam.
