1 “弗兰克从未上过飞行学院、医学院、法学院……因为他还在上高中。”
2 这是2002年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔(莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演)的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26个国家伪造了价值600万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令上最年轻的通缉犯。在影片中,阿巴格纳尔被虚构的联邦调查局特工卡尔·汉拉提(汤姆·汉克斯饰演)追捕,但后来逃脱了。他最终成了联邦调查局专攻白领犯罪的顾问专家。
3 《有种来抓我》是一部很棒的电影,但影片中的事情会在现实生活中发生吗?其实,《有种来抓我》是根据弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔的真实故事改编的,他的行骗生涯持续了大约六年;被抓后,曾三次逃脱监管(有一次是从飞机的厕所逃走的);在法国、瑞典和美国的监狱中总共度过了六年时光。他现在经营一家咨询事务所,为企业界提供防造假咨询。他挣到了足够的钱,赔付了所有的受害者,如今已是大富豪。
4 2003年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到,为了预防这种改变人生的犯罪,采取一些预防措施有多么重要,比如把拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用几美元一支的(特效)笔等等。
5 越来越多的人正在成为身份盗窃案的无名受害者。我们花费许多时间和金钱,去努力挽回我们的XX、我们的信用、我们的钱和我们的生活。我们需要想方设法来保护自己。我们可以减少此类犯罪的机会,但是它永远不会消失。
6 这不仅仅是要求我们列一份“该做”和“不该做”事项的清单,我们还需要改变心态。虽然网上银行现在很常见,但国内有一大群人——即占人口15%的生育高峰时期出生的一代人——还是更喜欢用纸。而且,30%的诈骗案都发生在这群人当中。支票上有身份盗贼所需的你的全部信息。如果你用圆珠笔,笔迹可以用一般的家用化学药品除去,钱数可以更改。每天发出的空头支票高达120万X以上,平均每秒13X以上。
7 支票造假是个大产业……每年以25%的速率增长。犯罪分子指望我们犯错误,好让他们更容易得手。那么我们怎样才能防患于未然呢?
8 采取一些预防措施。不要把你的留在里过夜或过周末。小偷就等着看你家信箱的小红旗(注:在美国,信箱上插上小红旗表示有需要投递),以便通过你要投递的找寻有用的个人信息或支票。要用签字笔填写支票和重要表格,(因为)签字笔的墨水会渗进纸X的纤维中,无法用化学药品除去。还有,切碎或撕碎含有个人信息的所有文件,然后再把它们丢进垃圾桶。
9 记住,网上有大量机会可以被小偷利用。他们根据你的身份伪造假身份。我们都知道黑客行为和木马软件对电脑数据库中个人信息的威胁。但是在谷歌上搜索某人也会透露大量个人信息,在线社交(如“我的空间”、“相册”和“毕波”)也一样。正如我们离开办公室去厕所时要随身带上钱包一样,离开电脑时也应该注销你的电脑以防临时起意的盗窃。 10 最后一点,假如你遭遇较传统方式的抢劫——比如在大街上——挂失你的信用
