Phoebe the Cyber Crime Dog Needs YOUR Help!

Phoebe the Cyber Crime Dog is the mascot for WHO@-KTD (Working to Halt Online Abuse - Kids/Teen Division) and goes with me to schools to teach students how to stay safer online. We also volunteer at York Hospital every week to visit patients (she is a certified pet therapy dog). WHO@ is an all-volunteer organization - we help online victims for free.

She was featured on WGME on May 13, 2015 and later that week suddenly developed cataracts. She has to go in for cataract surgery on Monday, June 1, 2015. It's going to cost us $5,465.00 total.

I have started a GoFundMe Page to help raise money for the surgery and associated costs (blood work, medicine, etc). Even $1 would help. If you don't want to donate through that, you can send a payment to my Paypal account using netcrimes@netcrimes.net for the payment address or send a check or money order made out to Jayne Hitchcock, PO Box 782, York, ME 03909.

Some background on Phoebe - she used to be a sled dog in Canada for the first three years of her life. She was one of the lead dogs. They lived 24/7 outside in a chain link fenced in area chained to a big blue barrel. We think she was abused. When the couple who owned her team and two others divorced, three women from New Hampshire drove to Canada to rescue all three teams.

Only three from Phoebe's team, all named after the characters in the TV show, "Friends," were socialized enough to adopt out. My husband found Phoebe on Craigslist. My vet suggested I take her everywhere I could to socialize her more and I discovered she was not only extremely gentle, but patient. I got her certified as a pet therapy dog and the rest is history.

If you donate $100 or more, I will send you a signed copy of True Crime Online or Net Crimes & Misdemeanors 2nd edition (for you or for someone else - Father's Day is coming up and that would make a great gift).

If you can't donate, it would be wonderful if you could share this post.

Here are the bills in total - we have paid for everything except for the surgery so far. We have to pay that in full on June 1st, so we are borrowing the money (thank you to that person) to pay it that day. I will keep the fundraising page up as long as possible so that I can pay this person back as soon as possible.

If we go over the amount needed, we will donate the remainder to the Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk, Maine.

Troubling web site - Datingpsychos.com

There is a web site called Dating Psychos that really should be shut down. I have been working with a victim who dated this guy, stopped dating him and he just couldn't deal with it. He's already put up a few, I got them taken down, he called Animal Control where she lives and claimed she abused her dogs - the dogs were taken away and were going to be euthanized, but she convinced Animal Control that this guy was out to ruin her life. This guy has also called the Social Security Administration on her claiming she's a prostitute trying to get them to investigate her and some other things. It got so bad that she tried to commit suicide a week ago. I was finally able to talk to an FBI agent in the state where the victim lives and this agent is appalled by this web site. She is going to find an agent in the bureau closest to the victim, but now the cyberstalker has put up a new profile on the Dating Psychos web site that lists her home address, home phone number, photo and mor...

I couldn't make this up if I tried. . .Under Armour can't protect against prank 911 call http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/Blog/2013/1 1/11/Under-Armour-cant-protect-against-p rank-911-call/2191384179832/#ixzz2kMXytz BZ Baltimore City Police responded to a 911 call threatening employees at Under Armour’s headquarters on Sunday afternoon, shutting down the building for hours and leaving workers unable to go home. The 911 call came in around 2 p.m. prompting a SWAT team to search the building. After the search was completed, officials ruled that the 911 call was a very unfunny prank. “We took that threat seriously, we came out. Our SWAT teams cleared the facility, we cleared the employees inside,” said Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk of the BPD. “False calls put a lot of people in danger and take resources from the city.” Kowalczyk said the prankster will face justice. “I think it’s great, you know. If a threat is called upon, they know what they’re supposed to do,” said an unidentified Under Armo...

I couldn't make this up if I tried . . . Greek civil servants lose paid leave for computer use http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2013/09/1 3/Greek-civil-servants-lose-paid-leave-f or-computer-use/UPI-22091379107945/#ixzz 2f4GClHqO Greek officials announced civil servants will no longer receive an extra six days of paid leave each year for using computers. Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Thursday that getting rid of the spare paid leave days would be the equivalent of hiring 5,000 more public sector workers, Ekathimerini reported Friday. Mitsotakis told Skai TV he is confident the government will reach its goals for public sector employment to qualify for a bailout payment in October. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit WHOA on the web at http://www.haltabuse.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEWS TO USE AND PASS ALONG!
