Stop Online Scams, Urban Myths, and Hoaxes

If you're online then you've received them.  You may have passed them on to "send it to everyone you know" and then found out it was a hoax.  These are suspicious warnings, scams, urban myths and hoaxes. 

  • The US Postal Service is not going to charge for e-mail.

  • If you dial the 809 area code, you will not be charged $24,000.00 unless you stay on the line for approximately 22 hours!

  • There has never been a documented criminal case where a person hid under a car and slashed the driver's Achilles tendon. 

How can you find out if these are real?  We suggest you verify suspicious e-mail by going to the following sites:

Urban Legends website (excellent search engine)

Scambusters (and sign up for their free newsletter!)

One last point.  If an e-mail ends with "so send this to everyone you know" you can be 90% sure it's a hoax, urban legend or myth.

ISCPP Quilt Found A Home!

If you attended the 2001 ISCPP Symposium in Charlotte, North Carolina, then you had the opportunity to see the ISCPP Quilt!  Many have heard about it, but few know the story behind it.  We interviewed President Adele El-Ayoubi to give us scoop!

"After September 11th, and prior to our conference, I was talking with (ISCPP Executive Director at that time) Jim Howell and suggested that a quilt would be a great way for us to raise money to send to the police department in NY from their brothers and sisters in law enforcement world wide.  I asked if he know anyone who knew how to quilt and he said he would talk with his sister Dahlene.  Dahlene talked with her quilting group and they decided to donate all the materials and their time for this worthwhile event.  I sent out an email to everyone that I had emails for in Law Enforcement and explained to them what we were doing and asked for patches from their departments to be part of this quilt.  We had a wonderful response from the law enforcement community.  I had several conversation with Dahlene on what I had in mind, and she did what she felt would work.
 
Never in our wildest imaginations did we think this quilt would come out so beautiful.  We decided that rather than raffle it off to the highest bidder, it should be shared with a National and International audience.  We decided to first contact the Ohio Senators to see if they would make a formal presentation in the Hall of Congress in Washington D.C. and present the quilt to be hung during the one year anniversary.  Not for a lack of trying, but I never received any response from either of the two senators that I contacted.
 
So then I tried a different approach, my chief is a former Deputy Chief of NYPD, I explained to him what I was trying to do, he made several phone calls to the NYPD Museum and left messages, none of which have been returned, so he tried another way and contact some of the deputy chief there, who referred him back to the museum, but explained that they have been overwhelmed with donations and it would take some time for them to get back."

It seems that the Quilt hasn't found a home when we first talked to Adele, but that changed!  Lifetime Honorary Member Jim Howell, CPS arranged for the quilt to be donated to the New York Police Department to be displayed in their Police Academy.  It was presented to a representative of the NYPD at a meeting of the Crime Prevention Association of Western Pennsylvania!  Pictures of the event appeared in the 2nd Quarter 2003 issue of the Practitioner.
