Ralph Riegel 2: Identity theft & Social networks facebook – Skeptics in the Castle
Too Good To Be True: Scams, Pyramid Schemes & Fraud in Modern Ireland. -journalist Ralph Riegel.
Friday 18th March
From the Internet to your own front door, there has never been such a determined campaign by fraudsters to separate people from their hard-earned cash. In a talk entitled ‘Too Good To Be True’, the Irish Independent’s Raph Riegel outlines some of the latest frauds, pyramid schemes and Internet scams that have been duping householders into investing their cash — and then kissing the money goodbye.
From credit card scams to ATM skimming, and from the Spanish Lotto con to fake charity appeals, the talk will outline just how determined con artists are to get their hands on your hard-earned money. It will include some of the latest scams to come before Cork Circuit Criminal Court and will also deal with the technology being used by fraudsters.
About the speaker: Ralph Riegel lives in Cork. He has worked as a journalist for several newspapers including The Cork Examiner, The Evening Echo, The Evening Herald and The Sunday Independent and is the southern correspondent for The Irish Independent. He is also a regular contributor to RTE, BBC and TV3 and to British newspapers including the (London) Independent and The Daily Telegraph. Ralph is also the author of Afraid of the Dark and (with Pádraig O’Keeffe) Hidden Soldier, and updated Death In December for the O’Brien Press. All three were bestsellers.

Identity Theft… Are You Protected?
By 2010, 1 in every 10 U.S. consumers has already been victimized by identity theft.
”The odds have never been higher for becoming a fraud victim,” said James Van Dyke, Javelin Strategy president and founder. “It’s an easy crime to perpetrate, a crime that’s almost impossible to catch when done in a sophisticated manner and a crime in which enforcement is very limited.”
The new social media craze has opened up a new debate on a very old internet problem. Online Identity Privacy. The truth is that identity thieves are very resourceful without even having to use the internet. A simple mailbox can often be their portal to invade and conquer your privacy. But these days, social media sites like Facebook make it all too easy for strangers to find your personal information and use it for their own advantage. Facebook’s recent privacy problems have led many to question the privacy policies on all social media sites. There is no doubt that social media is the best way to communicate, to find clients, to market your company, etc. But all of this comes at a high cost if you are not careful (read: obsessed) with your own identity protection.
