[1:37] Speaker 3: I'm Joyce Petrowski, founder and board president of Rose Resources
[1:40] Speaker 3: Outreach to Safeguard the Elderly. You can find more information
[1:44] Speaker 3: about us on our website at Roseadvocacy dot org. If
[1:48] Speaker 3: you scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, you
[1:50] Speaker 3: will find where you can sign up for our emailed
[1:53] Speaker 3: newsletter and or you can sign up for our mailed newsletter.
[1:59] Speaker 3: We send one in the mail. Julys will be coming
[2:01] Speaker 3: out at the end of this week, so you should
[2:04] Speaker 3: start receiving it in the mail by the end of
[2:06] Speaker 3: this week or the first and next week. The emailed
[2:08] Speaker 3: newsletter you get a monthly more in depth newsletter. But
[2:14] Speaker 3: then every Tuesday morning at nine fifteen, you get a
[2:17] Speaker 3: Tuesday Tip. And that Tuesday Tip has a couple of benefits.
[2:22] Speaker 3: One is giving you information that you might not have
[2:25] Speaker 3: already have known to help keep you safe from scams.
[2:29] Speaker 3: But The other just as important piece is that it's
[2:32] Speaker 3: a reminder. It's a reminder for your healthy skepticism and
[2:36] Speaker 3: your scam prevention habits. As you know, we need to
[2:40] Speaker 3: see read here, talk about things multiple times on an
[2:45] Speaker 3: ongoing basis before it starts becoming a habit. And we
[2:49] Speaker 3: want your scam prevention tools in your healthy skepticism to
[2:54] Speaker 3: be a habit to help protect yourself. So today I'm
[2:59] Speaker 3: going to talk about a couple more public service announcements
[3:04] Speaker 3: from the FBI. We did two of them last week.
[3:06] Speaker 3: We're going to do two more this week. And let
[3:11] Speaker 3: me share my screen here, all right, So I just
[3:16] Speaker 3: went to the IC three dot gov and I can
[3:20] Speaker 3: show you here back up, and when you type in
[3:25] Speaker 3: IC three dot gov, you're going to get this is
[3:27] Speaker 3: the homepage for the Internet Crime Complaint Center with the FBI.
[3:30] Speaker 3: You just go into public Information here. Public Service Announcements
[3:34] Speaker 3: is where you'll find all those and then the annual reports.
[3:37] Speaker 3: If you go here, this is where you're going to
[3:39] Speaker 3: find by year there reports for all age populations, but
[3:44] Speaker 3: they'll also have a section on just the sixty year
[3:48] Speaker 3: old and older population. This is where we get all
[3:50] Speaker 3: of our statistics. You can also do dropdowns where you
[3:54] Speaker 3: can look up different statistics by state if you're looking
[3:59] Speaker 3: for some different state information. But we're going to go
[4:01] Speaker 3: to the public service announcements, so we're going to go
[4:04] Speaker 3: to this.
[4:04] Speaker 2: One here that was June eighteenth, so just about ten
[4:10] Speaker 2: days ago, twelve days ago, excuse me.
[4:14] Speaker 3: And so this one is it's titled cyber Criminals Redirecting Users.
[4:22] Speaker 3: That would be anybody that's using the Internet and the
[4:27] Speaker 3: web browsers to fraudulent websites with malicious traffic distribution systems.
[4:33] Speaker 3: So it's basically they're redirecting you, going to get you
[4:40] Speaker 3: to a fraudulent website with malicious intent. And we've talked
[4:44] Speaker 3: a lot about it, and we talk about this in
[4:46] Speaker 3: our presentations as well. That I think a lot of people,
[4:54] Speaker 3: you know, to go up and hover over the name
[4:57] Speaker 3: that shows up on an email and you can see
[4:59] Speaker 3: the email out that it's coming from, and you can
[5:02] Speaker 3: go up and you can look at the U r
[5:04] Speaker 3: L and see if it's a secured site with the HTTPS,
[5:10] Speaker 3: But then you want to look at the actual URL
[5:13] Speaker 3: where where the website is going to.
[5:15] Speaker 2: Go to, and.
[5:18] Speaker 3: Sometimes it's really really difficult to see some slight little
[5:24] Speaker 3: change that was made that would actually then be directing
[5:28] Speaker 3: you to a fraudulent website. And we use you know,
[5:34] Speaker 3: Microsoft as an example.
[5:38] Speaker 2: Are you are.
[5:40] Speaker 3: You going to see when your mind is already thinking Microsoft,
[5:44] Speaker 3: Are you going to see that that lowercase M is
[5:46] Speaker 3: really a lowercase R, an N, or actually maybe two
[5:50] Speaker 3: ends when your mind's already thinking Microsoft. So it's really
[5:57] Speaker 3: good to write down every individual care character and then
[6:01] Speaker 3: look at those characters to see if they make sense
[6:04] Speaker 3: put together that that's where you want to be going.
[6:08] Speaker 3: But you I mean, they could use that scenario with Amazon.
[6:12] Speaker 3: They can use it with any you know website that's
[6:15] Speaker 3: got a lowercase M in the in the URL. So
[6:20] Speaker 3: back to this public service announcement. They are doing this
[6:26] Speaker 3: the the criminals are doing getting you to go to
[6:28] Speaker 3: a malicious website by visiting or by clicking on advertisement links,
[6:35] Speaker 3: signing up for promotions or discounts, downloading an application. There's
[6:40] Speaker 3: a lot of different ways that they can do it.
[6:43] Speaker 3: So we're gonna look at actually how this works. So
[6:48] Speaker 3: they use a variety of methods to an essence, trick
[6:52] Speaker 3: you into going onto these sites, and that includes social
[6:57] Speaker 3: engineering techniques such as sending a phishing email that could
[7:01] Speaker 3: have a link to. On the surface, looks like it's
[7:05] Speaker 3: a legitimate website, but when you actually look at where
[7:08] Speaker 3: it's going, it's actually a malicious website. It's not the
[7:13] Speaker 3: it's not the actual legitimate one that you're thinking that
[7:15] Speaker 3: it's going to. They can also do it through it
[7:18] Speaker 3: says here's search engine optimization poisoning that promotes fraudulent advertisement links.
[7:25] Speaker 3: So a lot of times when you're going to do
[7:28] Speaker 3: an Internet search for something, the first maybe three ones
[7:33] Speaker 3: that come up are going to be those sponsored ads.
[7:36] Speaker 2: You know, you'll see the URL, you'll see.
[7:38] Speaker 3: The name of it, and then down below in little
[7:41] Speaker 3: letters you'll see where it says sponsored. Well, you know,
[7:45] Speaker 3: the scammers can hang out in those. They put their
[7:48] Speaker 3: fraudulent websites in those sponsored ads as well. So just
[7:52] Speaker 3: because it shows up as one of the first three
[7:55] Speaker 3: under the sponsored ones doesn't mean it's automatically legitimate. You
[8:00] Speaker 3: still need to look at the r L write down
[8:02] Speaker 3: every character, but that's another way that they can get
[8:07] Speaker 3: you into those.
[8:11] Speaker 2: Malicious websites.
[8:13] Speaker 3: So, really, any legitimate website is vulnerable to a cyber criminal,
[8:22] Speaker 3: but you can also be using insecure passwords or.
[8:27] Speaker 2: You know, to log in.
[8:30] Speaker 3: They can do that with people that work at the
[8:33] Speaker 3: companies that are not using strong passwords. They can use
[8:37] Speaker 3: social engineering with someone that works at the company to
[8:41] Speaker 3: get them to give up information that then allows this
[8:44] Speaker 3: criminal to get into the back end of the website
[8:48] Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
[8:49] Speaker 2: So that brute forcing.
[8:50] Speaker 3: Cyber criminals obtain unauthorized access to websites by brute forcing
[8:55] Speaker 3: weak administration administrative passwords. That brute force is where they
[8:59] Speaker 3: just they've got that software program that's just going to
[9:02] Speaker 3: keep trying to with all these different variations you know,
[9:08] Speaker 3: of a password until it hits the one that the
[9:12] Speaker 3: one that you're using. So having those really strong passwords
[9:16] Speaker 3: are beneficial, whether you're having a password as a consumer
[9:21] Speaker 3: with a company that you've signed up for an account,
[9:23] Speaker 3: or whether you have it as an employee at a company.
[9:26] Speaker 3: Having those strong passwords, you know a lot of companies
[9:29] Speaker 3: are now giving you the option of using the pass keys,
[9:32] Speaker 3: which is the biometric information. Security professionals are saying that
[9:37] Speaker 3: those are much safer than passwords. Well, one of the
[9:40] Speaker 3: reasons is because they know that we use weak passwords.
[9:45] Speaker 3: You'd be amazed at how many people still use password one,
[9:47] Speaker 3: two three, whether it's by choice or whether that was
[9:50] Speaker 3: the initial password they were given and then they never
[9:53] Speaker 3: changed it. But and they know through you know, social engineering,
[9:58] Speaker 3: that they can get you to give up your password,
[10:03] Speaker 3: so they're going to redirect you. Another way that they
[10:06] Speaker 3: could do it is they can you know, they can
[10:08] Speaker 3: bypass firewalls that you have set up to block connections
[10:12] Speaker 3: to malicious codes. Every now and then we see that
[10:15] Speaker 3: come up in warnings from different resources we we look
[10:19] Speaker 3: at for information. Is that you know, some some cyber
[10:23] Speaker 3: criminal group has figured out how to bypass internal systems
[10:28] Speaker 3: or or bypass multi factor authentication or firewalls, different things
[10:33] Speaker 3: like that. So they get smarter and smarter. They have
[10:37] Speaker 3: the software that's available to them to be able to
[10:42] Speaker 3: do that. They filter website visitors so they can they
[10:47] Speaker 3: can look at based on your IP address, your operating system,
[10:53] Speaker 3: your location, your device browser information. You know, when you
[10:57] Speaker 3: visit a way website, they can analyze that. So some
[11:06] Speaker 3: of that could be because of the cookies that you've
[11:10] Speaker 3: allowed when you've gotten on that website, you've allowed all
[11:13] Speaker 3: of them, which is the reason why when it's asked
[11:18] Speaker 3: if you want to reject or accept only necessary. Those
[11:22] Speaker 3: are the best way to do it, or you know,
[11:24] Speaker 3: go into whatever browser you're using and click on those
[11:28] Speaker 3: three dots right up here and go down to your
[11:31] Speaker 3: settings and then in your Privacy and Security and you
[11:34] Speaker 3: can actually go down and say block all third party cookies,
[11:39] Speaker 3: and it's going to block it for as long as
[11:41] Speaker 3: you're using that same browser that you've told it to
[11:44] Speaker 3: block on all the websites, so then you don't have
[11:47] Speaker 3: to go in and do it on each individual one.
[11:51] Speaker 3: So that's how they you know, they can also exploit
[11:55] Speaker 3: your devices again by those phishing emails and other malware
[12:01] Speaker 3: that just by clicking on a link, you know, they
[12:05] Speaker 3: can then exploit you as the end consumer. So here's
[12:10] Speaker 3: some different tips that the FBI is putting out and
[12:15] Speaker 3: they recommend the individuals take the following precautions. Exercise caution
[12:20] Speaker 3: when clicking on advertisements. You want to make sure, as
[12:23] Speaker 3: we said earlier, you check that URL to make sure
[12:26] Speaker 3: that site is the official site, and maybe instead of
[12:31] Speaker 3: clicking on the advertisement, just go to the official site
[12:34] Speaker 3: and then look on that site for that specific discount,
[12:39] Speaker 3: that specific advertisement, and look at each individual character in
[12:43] Speaker 3: the r L and see that that makes sense. The
[12:47] Speaker 3: characters all make sense when you put them together. Keep
[12:50] Speaker 3: your software Updated's the main reason, you know why a
[12:57] Speaker 3: lot of software companies send out these updates is yes,
[13:01] Speaker 3: there's new information, but they're also fixing security flaws that
[13:05] Speaker 3: they found, and so it's good to keep everything updated.
[13:10] Speaker 3: You want to, you know, install reputable plugins if you're
[13:14] Speaker 3: going to have a specific one with a firewall. You
[13:17] Speaker 3: want to have a web application firewall to block malicious traffic.
[13:23] Speaker 3: Harden your login security. So you've got to have those
[13:27] Speaker 3: strong passwords, think about a pass using a pass key instead.
[13:32] Speaker 3: You can also do the multi factor authentification and you know,
[13:39] Speaker 3: make sure you keep that code confidential. You know, somebody
[13:42] Speaker 3: calls you pretending to be the bank and there's to
[13:46] Speaker 3: scare you that there's you know, fraud or there's something
[13:48] Speaker 3: bad going on with your account and you might lose
[13:50] Speaker 3: all your money, you know, but we have to verify
[13:54] Speaker 3: it you were talking to. So we're going to send
[13:55] Speaker 3: you a code and we need you to read it
[13:57] Speaker 3: back to us and then that that's exactly how the
[14:00] Speaker 3: legitimate bank is going to verify it's you on the
[14:03] Speaker 3: phone when you call them. Well, scammers are using that
[14:07] Speaker 3: against you because they have already figured out your log
[14:11] Speaker 3: in and now they see you have multi factors set up,
[14:14] Speaker 3: so then they're going to trick you into giving them
[14:17] Speaker 3: that code so then they can get into your account.
[14:20] Speaker 3: So another reason why you have to make sure you know,
[14:24] Speaker 3: especially if you're on the phone, that you are actually
[14:27] Speaker 3: talking to the legitimate bank. You know, if somebody called you,
[14:31] Speaker 3: then you hang up and you call the number on
[14:34] Speaker 3: your bank statement or the back of your debit card,
[14:42] Speaker 3: or you might already have the bank's phone number in
[14:44] Speaker 3: your contacts, but call them directly or go down there
[14:47] Speaker 3: and check things out. Those third party plugins and apps
[14:53] Speaker 3: and all that stuff, you want to make sure you're
[14:55] Speaker 3: only downloading those from reputable, verified places, and that would
[15:02] Speaker 3: be like the Google Play Store, the App store.
[15:09] Speaker 2: And then this other part here is for.
[15:11] Speaker 3: Businesses that they can take I'm not going to go
[15:13] Speaker 3: into that, but you know how to get to the
[15:16] Speaker 3: public service announcement if you want to read more about
[15:20] Speaker 3: the businesses.
[15:21] Speaker 2: And then you know if you've.
[15:25] Speaker 3: With any scam, whether you have lost money or not,
[15:29] Speaker 3: it is always good to report it. It helps law
[15:31] Speaker 3: enforcement with more pieces to the puzzle to try to
[15:34] Speaker 3: find these people, so you always want to make sure
[15:39] Speaker 3: you report it. And then down at the bottom they
[15:41] Speaker 3: have explanations of you know what phishing, search engine optimization,
[15:46] Speaker 3: poisoning is, brute force, and then a fire what a
[15:53] Speaker 3: firewall is if you want to read about that. Now,
[15:55] Speaker 3: I'm going to go back. And there's another one, and
[15:59] Speaker 3: this deals with illegal property sales. We talk a lot
[16:04] Speaker 3: about deed fraud and somebody transferring the deed to your
[16:09] Speaker 3: property fraudulently with fake IDs, downloading the deed transfer paperwork
[16:18] Speaker 3: and they can put your address in and look up
[16:20] Speaker 3: and see exactly how your property is titled. This one
[16:25] Speaker 3: deals with they impersonate the owners. The FBI is seeing
[16:31] Speaker 3: that it's usually of vacant property parcels because usually with
[16:36] Speaker 3: vacant property, people are more apt to not pay attention
[16:40] Speaker 3: to it as much as they would if it's their home,
[16:42] Speaker 3: their place of business, you know, their company, different things
[16:46] Speaker 3: like that. And so then to illegally sell the property,
[16:50] Speaker 3: sell the property parcels without the owner's knowledge or consents.
[16:53] Speaker 3: So basically they're gonna the first thing they're going to
[16:56] Speaker 3: do is impersonate the landowner. And again, this one's specifically
[17:00] Speaker 3: talking about vacant property parcels. But as we're going through this,
[17:06] Speaker 3: just you know, ask yourself, you know, could they really
[17:10] Speaker 3: be doing the same thing with other types of property
[17:14] Speaker 3: as well. So they're going to create fake IDs, driver's licenses, passports,
[17:18] Speaker 3: they've been doing this for years. It'll have their picture
[17:22] Speaker 3: on it, but it's going to have all your information
[17:23] Speaker 3: on it. They'll have fake email, you know, email addresses
[17:28] Speaker 3: that are there, so they're used for fraudulent purposes.
[17:31] Speaker 2: They'll also use voice.
[17:32] Speaker 3: Over Internet those vi vo IP phone numbers which are
[17:38] Speaker 3: the ones that you hit.
[17:39] Speaker 2: Like have an app.
[17:40] Speaker 3: You don't actually have to have a physical phone you
[17:44] Speaker 3: it's used through an app as to how you get
[17:47] Speaker 3: the how you get the phone calls and messages and
[17:53] Speaker 3: stuff like that through your your mobile phone, and they
[17:57] Speaker 3: use them to impersonate the landowners. So, as we said,
[18:01] Speaker 3: criminals can obtain the property owners personal identifiable information through
[18:06] Speaker 3: the county and state public websites, through data brokers, stolen
[18:11] Speaker 3: account information, phishing schemes. They can get you to give
[18:14] Speaker 3: them that information with you know, by impersonating a legitimate company,
[18:22] Speaker 3: or they purchase it from the dark web or other hackers.
[18:26] Speaker 3: So then the second part is once they've done that
[18:29] Speaker 3: and impersonated the landowner, they're going to have contact with
[18:32] Speaker 3: the realtors and the title companies. So they're going to
[18:35] Speaker 3: contact a local realtor and title company. They're going to pose,
[18:38] Speaker 3: you know, impersonate the property owner and draft property related
[18:44] Speaker 3: contracts to market and sell those vacant parcels. And the
[18:48] Speaker 3: FBI saw in one instance that there was actually a
[18:51] Speaker 3: fictitious deed that was used to further substantiate the impersonation
[18:55] Speaker 3: to convince the realtors of the validity of the sale.
[18:59] Speaker 3: And then the third phase is they then request once
[19:04] Speaker 3: the sale goes through, they request the money from the
[19:06] Speaker 3: illegal sale of that vacant property to be sent to
[19:12] Speaker 3: a co conspirator attorney in a different state. So they've
[19:16] Speaker 3: seen this with this particular scheme, is that the money
[19:21] Speaker 3: was actually sent to an attorney who was in on
[19:24] Speaker 3: this whole fraudulent ordeal in a different state. So here's
[19:30] Speaker 3: some tips that they've to identify the scam and unusual
[19:37] Speaker 3: communication methods, so the seller communicates only via email or
[19:43] Speaker 3: text or those voiceover internet provider numbers. They refuse to
[19:47] Speaker 3: meet in person, often citing excuses such as illness, travel,
[19:52] Speaker 3: personal emergencies with the artificial intelligence, thinking that they will
[20:04] Speaker 3: most likely you know, get on maybe zoom or a
[20:08] Speaker 3: FaceTime or something like that, because they can manipulate what
[20:12] Speaker 3: the realtor the title company sees as the picture, you know,
[20:17] Speaker 3: as the person.
[20:19] Speaker 2: They can manipulate that.
[20:22] Speaker 3: But to meet in person, they're going to always have
[20:28] Speaker 3: reasons why they can't do that, so they're going to
[20:29] Speaker 3: pressure to close quickly. Remember with scams and fraud, it's
[20:34] Speaker 3: everything mostly everything is done quickly. There's an urgency to it,
[20:39] Speaker 3: so inconsistent or missing information so they might demonstrate limited
[20:44] Speaker 3: knowledge about the property and might not have essential documents
[20:48] Speaker 3: like surveys or tax information. And then those suspicious payment requests.
[20:54] Speaker 3: The seller request payment through an international wire transfer, maybe
[20:58] Speaker 3: a domestic wire transfer to an account that's under a
[21:01] Speaker 3: different name, so it's not to an account with a
[21:05] Speaker 3: title company under their name, you know. The one that
[21:09] Speaker 3: they mentioned earlier, was it actually went to a co
[21:12] Speaker 3: conspirator attorney that was in a different state, or it's
[21:16] Speaker 3: an account in a location that is completely unrelated to
[21:19] Speaker 3: the property. There might be some red flags in the documentation,
[21:25] Speaker 3: so there could be deeds that were notarized in a
[21:28] Speaker 3: foreign country or other unusual documentation. So here's some tips
[21:33] Speaker 3: that the FBI is you know, check with your county recorder,
[21:37] Speaker 3: register of Deeds, all of that. If they have notification
[21:41] Speaker 3: services where you get that automated email when something changes
[21:45] Speaker 3: with your property title. Now every county in Arizona is
[21:50] Speaker 3: required to have a deed alert system.
[21:55] Speaker 2: That's free.
[21:56] Speaker 3: You need to sign up for it, and if there's
[21:58] Speaker 3: any changes in your they will automatically notify you. It
[22:03] Speaker 3: doesn't prevent the change from happening, but it notifies you
[22:06] Speaker 3: right away that the change occurred, so you can get
[22:09] Speaker 3: right on reporting it as identity theft and getting, you know,
[22:14] Speaker 3: start the process to get your property back. You might
[22:18] Speaker 3: want to review your title insurance policy. We talk about
[22:20] Speaker 3: this as well, to see if is there any post
[22:23] Speaker 3: policy protection, meaning that you know, when you originally purchase
[22:27] Speaker 3: the property and you work through a title company, you
[22:30] Speaker 3: have title insurance, but does that last is that ongoing
[22:35] Speaker 3: or did that only last for a certain amount of time?
[22:38] Speaker 3: In order to protect the title during the transfer, you
[22:42] Speaker 3: could check your homeowners' policies to see if there's anything
[22:45] Speaker 3: in there that might help you. Maybe you have an
[22:48] Speaker 3: identity protection policy that you could then use because this
[22:52] Speaker 3: is identity theft. Maybe you have it through your regular
[22:56] Speaker 3: insurance company or you've purchased one of those you know,
[22:59] Speaker 3: third party identity protection plans, but use that because that's
[23:05] Speaker 3: identity theft. So and this is when purchasing to send
[23:13] Speaker 3: a certified letter to the address of record on the
[23:16] Speaker 3: land tax record to verify the legitimacy of the seller.
[23:21] Speaker 3: So that was something that you can work through. If
[23:23] Speaker 3: you're purchasing, you can work through with a title company
[23:25] Speaker 3: or the realtor. And once again, you always want to
[23:28] Speaker 3: make sure that you report it even if you figure
[23:33] Speaker 3: it out. Excuse me, you figure it out right away
[23:37] Speaker 3: and you don't go through with it the process or
[23:43] Speaker 3: should I say, somehow you know that somebody tried to
[23:50] Speaker 3: change it, but something block them from changing it, and
[23:53] Speaker 3: you know, you get notified. Then you know, report all
[23:58] Speaker 3: that stuff to the police. They need the information in
[24:02] Speaker 3: order to do a thorough investigation and it could help them,
[24:09] Speaker 3: like I said, add pieces to the puzzle to get
[24:11] Speaker 3: a complete picture as to what's going on. And then
[24:14] Speaker 3: they're also the police are also very good about and
[24:17] Speaker 3: you know, the law enforcement is very good about getting
[24:19] Speaker 3: this information out, whether they put it on their website,
[24:22] Speaker 3: they send you know, emails out.
[24:24] Speaker 2: The FBI puts these public.
[24:25] Speaker 3: Service announcements out, you know, sometimes you see them on
[24:30] Speaker 3: the news talking about you know, upticks and things that
[24:34] Speaker 3: they see to warn consumers about it. So that's all
[24:39] Speaker 3: I have for today, So don't forget to go to
