Code Word Fallacy

Trust your password to protect your  bank account -- or computer?

Most of us do but you should see what the latest copy of  Wired magazine has to say about this trust.

Just remember, just like terrorists who are continually looking for new ways to circumvent our protective systems to destroy us , other criminals are constantly looking for new ways to rob or defraud us.

We can't be complacent and should be looking for new ways to protect ourselves.

P.S. Incidentally those small wallets that can protect your personal data on credit and other cards are now easy to find in stores.

When Was The Last Time?

When was the last time you were in touch with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre?


It's not a bad idea to make it a regular practice. Simply type in: Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to keep up to date on all types of scams -- including identify theft.

One of the latest scams you will find information on there is the one where you received a message --allegedly from either CSIS or the RCMP telling you that you're computer has been locked down because it was suspected of being involved in child pornography and that you have to pay $100.00 to have it unlocked.

But make sure you check on the different types of identity theft scams that keep popping up and how you can protect yourself.
