Confession: I can't really stand Bernie Sanders, and I think he is a bit dim and I wish AOC would give him a wider berth. #Americans do not hate #wealth or rich people. It is the #corruption they hate. The #DemocraticParty needs to stay focused on the #graft and #theft of state assets. #Autocracy #Kleptocracy #uspol #uspolitics

Fraudsters can buy “purposebuilt software to brute force different combinations of gift card numbers. They've got a bot that's automatically testing thousands and thousands and thousands of different combinations until they find valid ones. And basically, what they're looking for are cards that have been activated but not spent.” #fraud #giftcards #theft https://www.thestar.com/business/the-advocate/he-bought-20-gift-cards-and-7-were-worthless-gift-card-fraud-is-out-of/article_e5e9b40f-a1e2-4d00-b078-436d53b49c5d.html
