Craigslist as a source for decoys

Posted by: Albee In: News Items

This guy got 12 people to think he was hiring them for a construction job. Turns out they were unwitting decoys in a bank job.

About This Site

Having spent many years doing IT for non-profits (and small businesses) I have my finger on the pulse of cheap IT - what's the most powerful and cost-effective use of technology for cash-strapped organizations? That is the question I am constantly trying to answer.

I created this site as a place to post the various geeky tidbits and strange happenings that I come across in my daily traversing of the web, with a focus on (b)leeding-edge IT for non-profits and small businesses.

My hope is that you, the reader, will find some humor, entertainment, usefulness or irritation at what you find here. If so, you are my intended audience.
