Net Crimes & Misdemeanors

I was supposed to appear on the Dr. Phil Show in February to expose Matthew Berdyck for the cyberstalker he is, but he completely derailed it, being his usual psycho self. But I finally met a fellow victim, Peter John Ross, in person and we ended up going to Disneyland together. We had a blast. Berdyck got banned from Facebook for good and is currently ranting and raving vis Twitter and email, trying to get one of us to respond. We refuse to. He is not worth it and we wish he would just crawl into a hole and die already. This whole Covid thing is ridiculous and I am ready to get back to normal, but don't see that happening anytime soon. I hope to check in more often than I have been. Toodaloo!

I am speaking at the Maine Sheriff's Association conference Thursday from 130-330 pm about cybercrime and the dangers of the Internet.

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!

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. I did go to amazonprime.com and it really was amazon.com. I clicked on my account and orders and there was no such order for a headset. 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.
