You know this is the Youngest age group he's

Ever defrauded.

Most of his scams Have been focused on the

Elderly.

Activity in their Credit card accounts.

Oh, there's one More thing you should see,

Chris and then he told me That he transferred for

Lacrosse and he Gave me his number.

Stuff but you can be a Little dense when it comes

To girls.

I can't believe What kids will share with

Strangers online.

They talk about Everything, I mean

Everything.

Yeah I know.

And they think someone's Friendly 'cause they seen

A few pictures, but they Have no idea who it really

Is.

They give crooks Everything they need to

Steal their identities.

They got no Idea they're doing it.

I'm gonna Head over to jamestown

University and Talk to veronica.

She needs to know who Her friend really is.

And if any of those kids Call back let me know.

I wanna wrap this up And bring this guy down.

Will do.

I figured out it Wasn't him when I ran into

The real henry morgan the Other day, whose name is

Actually chris.

I know it wasn't very Smart to trust someone I

Really didn't know.

Well don't be Too hard on yourself.

Unfortunately thousands of Young adults are scammed

Every year by criminals Online using social media.

He seemed Like such a nice guy.

I had no idea he'd be Trying to steal from me.

They put on a good Show, that's for sure.

There was a problem With your credit?

About a week ago.

I went to buy a new Computer for school and I

Was gonna sign up for a New card from the store

And it was declined.

And you've never Had a problem before?

No.

My parents have always Been sticklers about which

Card to get and to make Sure I pay them off right

Away.

And how did you Find out about the new

Cards that were Taken out in your name?

My credit card Company told me to contact

The credit bureau.

I finally got a hold of Them yesterday and they

Told me 3 cards had been Opened and maxed out for

Months.

Emily, how Long have you known henry

Morgan?

Henry?

Maybe 6 months.

Why?

Have you ever Met henry in person?

No, why?

What does henry have To do with any of this?

Well henry isn't Henry, his real name is

Brian boyd and he is a Person of interest in a

Case that we're Investigating.

That's sarah's dad.

Wait, henry and mr. Boyd are the same person?

You know him?

Yeah.

I go to school with sarah, I've met her dad when her

Parents come to visit.

I told him so Much personal stuff.

That's how mr. Boyd was able to steal

Your identity.

He earned your trust And then started asking

Questions that would give Him the information he

Needed to open new credit Card accounts in your

Name.

Look, we're gonna Have to ask you not to

Contact the boyds and not To mention any of this to

Sarah.

We have some things we Need to tie up before we

Bring him in.

Okay.

I can't believe Henry wasn't henry at all.

I feel so...

V, you've Got to let that go.

It was a Learning experience.

Age don't make The same mistake.

Fooled by some whacko.

Neighborhood is out.

Pride for our ladies In maroon and gold at

Tonight's field Hockey match.

That does it For me this week.

For jamestown...

You got this.

Actually I'd like to talk about

Something Personal for a minute.

I found out recently that Someone I considered a

Friend on buddy friends Wasn't who they appeared

To be.

Instead of talking to a Peer looking to transfer

To jamestown university I Was talking to someone who

Was trying to get personal Information from me;

Information that they Would've been able to use

To steal my identity.

Now luckily that person Was caught before they

Could do that.

But others had Already given him enough

Information to open credit Cards in their name and

Completely ruin their Credit; something that

Could take Years to repair.

Just remember fellow Presidents, be careful who

You talk to online, they May not always be who they

Say they are.

For jamestown university News I am veronica ruiz.

Ciao.

Oh good job.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Waiting to pounce.

The good news is That most dangers can be

Avoided.

Makes you feel Uncomfortable.
