Common Types of Cyber Scams •Investment Fraud: Too good to be true investment or business opportunities. •Business Email Compromise: Criminals insert themselves into legitimate business dealings and siphon money away. •Romance Scam: Convinces the victim they are in a digital relationship with the criminal and leverages the relationship to obtain money. •Courier Scams: Poses as some form of entity to arrange a pick -up of money from victim. (Tends to use Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash to facilitate pick-up, removing criminal to some degree making locating and prosecution difficult.) •Cryptocurrency: Used in tandem with other scams, usually emphasizes excessively high rate of return. (Increasingly used due to the difficulty to trace.) Evolution through AI •Offenders are utilizing AI -Generated Text to create fake social media accounts, conduct spear phishing and further financial fraud schemes. •AI-Generated Text allows Offenders to “tidy -up” grammatical or spelling errors and overcome language barriers, allowing for a larger target audience. •AI-Generated Images enable Offenders to create believable social media profiles, photos, government ID’s, and documents to support their fraud schemes. •These tools can allow Offenders to pose as government personnel, banking representatives, and celebrities. •Offenders are using AI -Generated Audio to imitate prominent figures or clone Victim voices. •AI-Generated Video is used to add to the schemes by providing an unknowing victim manufactured proof of the Offenders claims. •AI increases its knowledge/capabilities by a factor of 4.5x annually. What can be done? •Look for subtle imperfections in videos and photos. •Do not share sensitive information with people you have met only online or over the phone/messaging apps. •Limit what information you share on social media about yourself. •If the government, bank or organization attempts to contact you, collect the caller’s information; then research the contact information for the entity they claim to be from. Contact them directly. •Do not follow or click any links or scan QR codes provided to you. •Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other assets to people you have never met or have only met online or over the phone. •When in doubt, slow down; the more time you take to analyze the scam, the higher probability you have of recognizing it. •Regardless of whether you get scammed or not, report it to local Law Enforcement and the FBI via IC3.com THANK YOU!

The two agencies worked collaboratively utilizing automatic aid agreements to keep the community safe. Battalion 68 deployed their drone to get an aerial view of the fire and to check for hotspots during the overhaul phase of the fire. Leveraging technology in this manner helps keep firefighters safe and limits property damage. Firefighters responded to a residential structure fire on Alves Drive in the City of Cupertino. First arriving resources located a two story home with active fire. Firefighters searched the residence to confirm no occupants were inside. A second alarm was called to bring more resources to fight the fire and prevent spread. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the building of origin and one adjacent storage shed. Santa Clara County Sheriff Deputies and PG&E were also on scene to assist. There were no reported injuries to any community members or emergency personnel. Scan the QR code for more info! At approximately 5:35 am, firefighters were dispatched to a report of a fire on the 20000 block of Saratoga-Los Gatos Rd. Saratoga Fire Engine 73 arrived on scene to find a large two-story home with smoke coming from the chimney. Two residents were standing on the second story balcony yelling for help and were safely evacuated with the family pet. A second alarm was dispatched along with PG&E, American Red Cross, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, and the City of Saratoga Building Department.
