IPSA September Meeting September 1, 2005

The FBI takes cyber crime and fraud seriously, creating a Cyber Division in
2002 and making cyber crime its number three priority behind counter
terrorism and counter intelligence. Meet FBI Cyber Crime Agent Dale Miskell,
who took the lead in fighting internet scams while working at the Internet
Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, a partnership between the FBI and the
National White Collar Crime Center.

Dale's crime-fighting efforts have even led him to Nigeria, where he helped arrest and prosecute Nigerian con artists. In April, the Merchant Risk Council, a non-profit group devoted to fighting cyber fraud, named Dale its first "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year" for his efforts. Dale will share the latest scams his office is investigating and some tips to protect yourself and your family from becoming victims of a cyber crime.
