Phishlab’s webinar was very informative

Hello folks, i hope you were able to get to today’s webinar from Phishlabs. If you missed it, This blog post had details.

They covered quite a number of things, including some of the scams I’ve seen including the romance scams. This blog post for example covers technical support scams, and as that article covers, it isn’t just your typical scam where you call a number for a problem. The scammer will lock your files, than have you covered by you calling a number to get help.

This blog post talks about how the romance scam talks to other people in the blind community like what has happened to me with various podcast and blog posts on people asking me for gift cards and money.

When I’ve encountered these folks, I told them that I did not have the money, and if they wanted a relationship, calling me would be best so we can see where it goes. None of them ever called!

This blog post was posted when I saw the article on why social media is increasingly abused for Phishing and scam type behavior.

This blog post is a podcast announcement and the podcast can be made available. I believe I talk about one such scammer here and what they were trying to do to me. Millitary people asking for money in itunes gift cards?

I’m sure you can find more if you search for scam on the blog, or scammers. Books talking about scams are emntioned, and much more!

I’d love to get this webinar out to the public, but this is Phishlabs webinar, so time needs to be given to allow people who signed up at first dibs.

I’ll see if I can get a recording of this, as I had, but not sure if the other copy will be the better one to use.

Thanks for reading, and make it a great day!
