    Investigating Fake License Fraud with Guest Tony Poole

    Fake IDs are everywhere. Go to any college and 60% of students have or have had a fake ID. Is the danger just a few drinks and a fender bender? Add in fatal accidents, fugitives that want to hide in plain sight, drug dealers, and the undocumented. Add in the financial cost to companies that are duped out of hundreds of millions by those that have stolen retail items and then return it under a false ID, or purchased vehicles with a fake ID with the intent of never returning the vehicle or making a payment. Tony Poole, the President of the Document Security Alliance, will outline these issues and give us an in-depth analysis of the national impact.

    SNAP Fraud in the 21st Century with Guests Dawn Royal and Andy McClenahan

    SNAP, welfare, or food stamps, regardless of the name they all point to benefits designed to feed the underprivileged.  Fraud has existed almost from the first day of the program’s inception back in 1939. SNAP has dramatically expanded over the decades, with a current national budget of $127 Billion. SNAP cards are now being cloned, with fraudsters getting away with millions, and the legitimate beneficiaries requesting repayments by the states.  This episode of the FraudKast looks at the SNAP program and the challenges associated with running such a large national program with millions of beneficiaries, and how fraud is taking place.  DISCLAIMER: The information provided in this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and shall not be used as legal advice.

    Business Identity Theft and Fraud with Ralph Gagliardi

    The next wave of fraud will be tied to the misuse of business identities. Businesses' identities can be taken over by fraudsters, or a fraudster can create an entirely new business with the intent of defrauding other businesses, government agencies, or individuals. Either way, those businesses are registered on the Secretary of State’s business registry and become listed as “In Good Standing”, which is misleading to the average citizen or business. During this FraudKast we will explore the shortcomings of the business registry and what can be done to solve the issues.  DISCLAIMER: The information provided in this podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and shall not be used as legal advice.
