CEO fraud is an email scam in which a cybercriminal will impersonate someone in a high-ranking position within the company, such as the CEO and trick an employee, usually, someone in the HR or accounting department to transfer them money, typically via wire. Once they’ve found the employee, the cybercriminal will proceed to try and manipulate them. In the first phase, the cybercriminals conduct social engineering to find the best possible person in the company to try and impersonate. What it is: Here’s a two-parter: there are thousands of websites out there which try to make you believe they’re the real deal and a part of your favourite brands. Make sure you also document any damage to others’ vehicles. FRAUD reflects that it “bear(s) witness to the transatlantic slave and timber trade as much as to the changing nature of Finnish forests.” The masts were transported from Turku to Seili by sea before being laid to rest horizontally outside the Archipelago Research Institute. If your trip is too far to walk or bike the whole way, you can drive part of the way to your destination and then bike or walk the rest of the way. And, sadly enough, that indifference is a major reason that phonies like Richard McClanahan or Jesse MacBeth or Jimmy Massey can perpetuate their charades.
For every McClanahan, MacBeth and Massey exposed as frauds, there are doubtlessly more, waiting in the wings for their moment of infamy. However, Massey and MacBeth were clever enough to peddle their stories to reporters and activists anxious to prove misconduct among American troops–without bothering to check the veracity of their claims. A U.S. Postal Inspection Service webpage about grandparent scams includes videos of victims sharing their stories to help raise awareness of this criminal tactic. In this regard, employee training and education play an important role in recognizing malicious email scams like this one. Telemarketing scams are one of the most common scams to happen to seniors, due to no face-to-face interaction and convincing charades of being an authority figure. Cybercriminals have become very sophisticated not just regarding the technologies and software they are using, but also in being better able to impersonate legitimate entities and getting sensitive information from their victims. Spam phishing is a broad net being thrown to catch any unsuspecting person. In a fairly straightforward plot, the person on the other line will pretend to be the grandson or granddaughter of the older victim. Some thank the victim for making a purchase he never made. When it comes to theft, a standard homeowners insurance policy has low limits of liability (usually $1500), but it is possible to raise the liability limit or to purchase separate policies.

This policy should encompass all levels of the company from the CEO to the lowest employee, as well as all relevant departments, especially the HR, accounting and finance. Companies looking to protect themselves against CEO fraud phishing should adopt a strong internal cyber-risk detection and prevention policy. As for the employees, they should be trained to first confirm the details with the CEO, via phone or in person, or to do the same with another superior in case the CEO is not available. It’s also worth noting that the first edition of Stolen Valor was self-published by Burkett; while the book eventually became a best-seller (and remains in print to this day), the major publishing houses initially took a pass on his work, claiming that “wasn’t a market” for an expose on fraudulent veterans, and exaggerated claims about service members who served in Vietnam. In his book, Burkett uncovered scores of “phony” Vietnam-era veterans, or former service members who claimed decorations they never received. Massey, a former Marine, claimed that his unit committed atrocities in Iraq until his lies were exposed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Michelle Malkin, among others. For what it’s worth, Corporal McClanahan also claimed to have three Purple Hearts, three Silver Stars and the Legion of Merit. For example, an already very busy employee, who has three other things to do, might just do this without taking a second look at the email and keep on with the “more important tasks”.
The artists carried out their third and final visit to Seili in September 2022. Again, taking the format of a production residency, the visit provided FRAUD with an opportunity to bring their work on the island to a close. Supervision is one of the most-effective tools to prevent frauds from taking place. FRAUD reflects that this future garden of discarded botanical species is a collaboration with Lotta Petronella, “who salvaged some of the species from Seili’s Biodiversity Research Institute, along with herbarium specimens discarded by Turku University for no longer having ‘pedagogic value’.” Fields of May will remain on the island of Seili as a porous, permanent meeting place. Throughout 2022, FRAUD (Audrey Samson and Francisco Gallardo) visited Seili on several occasions to carry out parts of their multi-faceted project, Fields of May. “Ideally”, this will be someone relatively new in the organization, who may not know everyone that well and has the authority to transfer money. These occur when someone tries to create an Uber account with your text message. You might get a call, email, or text message from a scammer claiming to be with a lottery or contest. 1) A scammer offers a run, asks to be paid before finishing, but then leaves you without finishing the run.
