Fraud Prevention: Credit Card Security and You

The holiday season is a busy time for making purchases and other financial transactions. 

Unfortunately, fraud spikes during the holiday season as well, so it's important to be mindful of hazards.

Online Security

• Check your website passwords and change them if they are more than 6 months old or are not rated "strong" by the site's standards. Never use the same password for different sites.
• When shopping online, make sure the checkout page is secure before entering personal information and credit card numbers. There should be a padlock symbol in the browser bar with the URL, and the URL should begin with "https" (the "s" is for "secure").
• Beware of phishing and other email scams. Common scams include false package delivery notices, fake data breach alerts, and phony holiday ecard greetings.

Safe Shopping

• Be alert when checking out in stores. Thieves may take advantage of your being busy with packages to read your credit card numbers or steal your wallet.
• Beware of "skimmer" devices at ATMs and payment terminals. Always cover the keypad when entering your PIN.
• Be sure to put your card back in your wallet after each purchase.

DACA Facts

Just the facts, Ma'm:  The vast majority of illegal aliens shielded by an Obama-created temporary amnesty program are adults over the age of 21-years-old, new federal data reveals.

Despite constant rhetoric from the mainstream media and pro-immigration politicians that nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded from deportation and given work permits under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are “kids” and “children,” data from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) finds that 72 percent of DACA recipients are 21-years-old or older.

As Pew Research Center analyzed, the average age of DACA recipients is 24-years-old, far from the young age that Democrat and Republican establishment politicians like Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) have made the group of illegal aliens out to be.

The majority of DACA recipients, 37 percent, are between the age of 21 and 25-years-old, while another 24 percent are 26 to 30-years-old. More than 10 percent of DACA recipients are between the age of 31 and 36-years-old.

Both political establishments, corporate interest and the open borders lobby have been successful in labeling DACA recipients as mere children, with even President Trump touting the falsehood, calling the DACAs “incredible kids.”

Trump’s administration, via Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has said it will ultimately end DACA. With that announcement, though, has come a barrage of amnesty legislation from Democrats and the GOP establishment, where more than 3.3 million illegal aliens could receive a pathway to U.S. citizenship.

Any amnesty of illegal alien DACA recipients could result in not only a surge of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, but also a spike in chain migration, where four to eight million foreign nationals could get legal entry to the U.S., as Breitbart News reported.

Most recently, a former USCIS official said the DACA “fraud rate is 40 to 50 percent,” as Breitbart News reported.
