Stephen O'Keefe will be awarded the Lifetime
Achievement Award at this year's RCC Loss Prevention Conference
 Stephen O'Keefe is an external consultant on contract with Retail Council of
Canada who advises on the many aspects of loss prevention affecting shrinkage
and profitability for retailers. He has 30 years of experience working directly
with some of the largest retailers in Canada such as Sears, Hudson's Bay and,
for the last 15 years, he was as Vice President of Loss Prevention and Risk
Management with Walmart Canada. At Walmart, Stephen was also a key member of the
Global team dealing with Mergers and Acquisitions which exposed him to many
different countries and different Loss Prevention programs and philosophies.
Stephen advises Loss Prevention professionals in the areas of refund fraud,
organized crime, restorative justice and various legislative issues. Most
recently he helped retailers deal with a very restrictive law dealing with
Privacy. For a number of years, organizations were not allowed to share details
related to criminal activity. With his help, in June 2015, a law was passed
allowing for the sharing of information under specific guidelines now outlined
in PIPEDA (Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act).
With Stephen's experience and current network of professionals, he can easily
explain complex legislation and best practices information to retailers who may
not have the infrastructure to create their own program from the ground up.

Is Walmart passing its crime
buck to local governments?
Given all of the press Walmart's gotten this week one LP executive, who has
extensive experience in the Tulsa market, submitted their response to the
specific market issues.
An LP Executive's Response - Not a Walmart associate
Tulsa's LP Reality - LP's
Real Life Story in Tulsa
Scrapping away the hype and looking at it from a
real-life LP perspective. Tulsa's retail real-life police and crime story from
an LP executive's perspective.
Earlier
this week, Bloomberg published an
article that referenced the Wal-Mart in Tulsa, OK. That article indulged
in two of modern journalism's favorite pastimes:
1) Sensationalizing a
local issue to whip up populist anger, and
2) Beating up on Wal-Mart
Don't believe me? When was the last article you read that cast anything
relating to Wal-Mart in a positive light?
The article highlights the
high number of call volumes at some Wal-Mart supercenters due to shoplifting
and other crimes. What is lacking is any context.
The Wal-Mart
mentioned in the article is the farthest north big box store in Tulsa. The
next closest are about 2 miles further south. It is an island of retail in a
sea of blight. North Tulsa has no retail to speak of, other than dollar
stores (which are getting stolen from so often that they hired off-duty
Tulsa Police). The police presence hasn't really curtailed the theft - as
much as it has moved it to the stores that aren't covered by officers. Every
grocery store that has opened for the last 10 years within 4 miles of there
has closed because of unsustainable theft.

FirstRespondersDay.org
A National First
Responders Day
Since 2013, ONE man has been pushing Congress to formally
recognize the contributions of First Responders in our community. Andrew
Collier, brother of slain MIT police officer Sean Collier who gave his life
protecting his community during the Boston marathon bombing tragedy, has
been lobbying Congress to designate ONE day to recognize the contribution
and sacrifice of First Responders across America - a National First
Responders Day.
Inspired by Andrew's determined efforts and on behalf of First Responders
across America, Hooters has partnered with the National Association of
Police Organizations, the National Black Police Association and
Thankyoufirstresponder.org to launch
FirstRespondersDay.org. ONE website where Americans can
express our gratitude and share our support for First Responders and sign a
petition formally requesting that Congress pass, and the President sign,
legislation creating a National First Responders Day.
The drive to secure ONE million petition signatures has become a grassroots
movement to make National First Responders Day a reality. MLB Hall of Famer
Hank Aaron, politician and activist Ambassador Andrew Young, ESPN football
analyst Jon Gruden, and NASCAR driver Greg Biffle are among the many
supporters who encourage Americans to sign the petition.

Target, other retailers
answer Louisiana's call for help after 'Great Flood of 2016'
Target said Friday it will donate $400,000 to assist Baton Rouge and the
surrounding communities affected. Target reached out to local food banks to
donate more than $100,000 of food, and is partnering with local non-profits
throughout the area to distribute $20,000 in Target gift cards for necessary
supplies for recovery efforts currently underway. Target said it will also
initiate a team member matching program, where the company will donate up to
an additional $50,000 to the American Red Cross.
Wal-Mart Stores already announced $500,000 toward Louisiana flood relief
efforts, as did Lowe's, and Home Depot donated $700,000.

There are 1.2 million missing retail workers
because Amazon's so good
1 Online Worker at $27.14 an hour = 4 Store
Workers at $17.92 an hour ea.
Internet sellers such as Amazon, eBay and Newegg are so good at what they do
that there are 1.2 million fewer people working in the retail industry now
than would be the case if online stores didn't exist, an analysis suggests.
J.P. Morgan analyst Michael Feroli says online sellers are so much more
productive at selling goods than brick-and-mortar stores that there's less
need for workers. Sales revenue per online employee is more than
four times as high as what a traditional retail worker generates:
$1,267,000 vs. $279,000.
That's not to say online shopping has destroyed 1.2 million jobs, Feroli
notes. It just means that the shift toward internet sales has boosted
productivity to the point that companies can get by with fewer employees.
Productivity among online sellers surged 6% in 2015, according to government
data. Overall U.S. productivity rose a tepid 0.8% last year.
Some of those productivity gains have flowed to some employees at online
sites. Hourly pay of online retail employees averaged $27.14 in
June, well above the retail industry average of $17.92. Internet
stores pay some of the highest wages in the retail space.
In 2016, the percentage of Americans who work in retail slipped to 11% from
11.6% in 2000. It hasn't been that low since 1975, Bureau of Labor
Statistics data show.
 |
Where have all the people who might have worked in retail gone? Some might
not be working at all - the percentage of Americans in the workforce is near
a four-decade low - but others may have ended up in different parts of the
economy.
One obvious alternative is warehouses and shipping. Yet employment in that
sector is only 335,000 higher compared to its prerecession peak. marketwatch.com

7-Eleven Plays Key Role in Putting Ohio
ATM Burglars
Behind Bars
 On
Wednesday, Aug. 17, 11 men were indicted for a recent rash of ATM
thefts that included Cleveland-area 7-Eleven stores.
"This
group really made a significant impact on our stores," said
Investigations Specialist Mike Aldridge. "This group was organized
and knew what they were doing. They went after many of our stores
this year, and law enforcement believes the crew is responsible for
50-100 ATM thefts at several different retailers over the last five
years."
Asset Protection Specialist Marcia Foertsch in the
Appalachian Zone led the charge by quickly investigating the
incidents and communicating to all appropriate business partners,
including Franchisees and store managers in the area where the
crimes were occurring.
"Arrests like this are possible
because of the great cooperative relationship we have with our
stores," Foertsch said. "Law enforcement partnerships again proved
invaluable, and we were able to quickly share the evidence from the
incidents at our locations to help establish the scope of these
crimes. Being proactive with law enforcement helps them do their
jobs better and, as a result, better protect the communities we both
serve."
The SSC AP Investigations team also played a pivotal role.
"Based on the quick reporting from the stores, our team was able to
confirm that the same individuals were responsible for each of the
burglaries," said Corporate Investigations Supervisor Lauren Freede.
"Surveillance video was retained at the SSC and then provided to law
enforcement, which proved to be crucial in identifying the
individuals and ultimately leading to an arrest."
The AP team
reviews and investigates all serious incidents that occur in the
more than 8,600 stores in the United States and Canada. Real-time AP
Alerts are generated and sent out to keep stores informed of
criminal activity occurring in their areas. The information is also
shared with local law enforcement agencies and Organized Retail
Crime Associations throughout the country.
If convicted, the
suspects face at least 19 years in prison. Additional criminal
charges are pending.

Eddie Bauer hacked - All
North American Stores Infected
Clothing store chain Eddie Bauer said today it has detected
and removed malicious software from point-of-sale systems at all of its 350+
stores in North America, and that credit and debit cards used at those
stores during the first six months of 2016 may have been compromised in the
breach. The acknowledgement comes nearly six weeks after KrebsOnSecurity
first notified the clothier about a possible intrusion at stores nationwide.
Eddie Bauer - working with the FBI and an outside computer forensics firm -
had detected and removed card-stealing malware from cash registers at all of
its locations in the United States and Canada.
The retailer says it believes the malware was capable of capturing credit
and debit card numbers from customer transactions made at all 350 Eddie
Bauer stores in the United States and Canada between January 2, 2016 to July
17, 2016. The company emphasized that this breach did not impact purchases
made at the company's online store eddiebauer.com.

In the Bitcoin Era,
Ransomware Attacks Surge
Digital currency, better software help hackers
hold data hostage
Ransomware dates to the late 1980s, but
attacks spiked this year amid the growing use of bitcoin and improved
encryption software.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice,
ransomware attacks have quadrupled this year from a year ago, averaging
4,000 a day, most of which go unreported. Typical ransomware payments range
from $500 to $1,000, according to cyberrisk data firm Cyence Inc., but some
hackers have demanded as much as $30,000. Hollywood Presbyterian Medical
Center in Los Angeles paid roughly $17,000 to unlock files in February,
following
an attack that crippled a large portion of the hospital's computer systems.
Including other costs, such as lost productivity and staff time to recover
files, the Justice Department said ransomware attacks cost victims $209
million in the first three months of the year, an average of about $333,000
per incident, based on complaints that it has received. That is up from a
total of $24 million for all of 2015, or about $10,000 per infection, the
Justice Department said.
Another factor is the
increasing use and stability of bitcoin, the digital currency. Bitcoin
is now the preferred payment method of most ransomware infections because it
allows users to send and receive money from anywhere in the world, often
anonymously.
One university chief security officer said he purchased two bitcoin "mining"
machines, which generate bitcoin on their own by performing the complex
calculations that allow the bitcoin financial network to operate. Since
January, he has been using these systems to stockpile bitcoin, just in case
he needs to quickly recover a critical computer. He spoke on condition of
anonymity to avoid making his employer a ransomware target.

Canadian Police Association Endorses
Citizen-Monitoring Law
The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) has passed a resolution
mandating the group advocate for a law that would force people to provide
electronic passwords to police with judge's consent.
CACP President Chief Clive
Weighill and Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau, noted the reasons behind
the decision.
"Police services across the world are facing new challenges
and threats related to technological developments and the criminal
innovation that has ensued," said Bordeleau. "[We are looking for] a way
forward that helps us fuse traditional policing with modern day
cyber-activity."
In Canada, the recent Osterman
Research Study reported that 44 of 125
Canadian companies interviewed
suffered a ransomware attack in the past 12
months of which 33 of the victims paid a ransom that was between $1,000 and
$50,000 in order to regain stolen data.
But Jacob Ginsberg, senior
director of
Echoworx, told Infosecurity that a
law of this nature would remove protection and privacy from law abiding
citizens. infosecurity-magazine.com

odds of surviving. Debbie Maples,

Say Hello To The New
Kids On The Fraudster Block
In the new
Fraudster Profile Podcast Series, Karen Webster is joined by Gilit Saporta,
who helps us to identify and break down the characteristics and personas
within the diverse and ever-growing group of cybercriminals. The latest
installment focuses on a very surprising segment: teen fraudsters.
"With teenagers, we don't believe that these guys are thinking of themselves
as fraudsters to begin with," Saporta explained. Many teenagers today own
smartphones and have an internet connection, so they essentially have the
world in the palm of their hands. With this type of access, they can
quickly and easily take up what they think to be a "cool pastime," such as
using stolen credit card credentials to make purchases from their favorite
game or seeing how many pizzas they can order before anyone notices.
Though the threat posed by teen fraudsters places them on the lower end
of the cybercriminal totem pole, the abundance of resources and support from
the organized cyber ecosystem can still make them a problem for merchants.
But the riskiest aspect of teen fraudsters is the fact that their activities
can be very difficult to detect.
The first step for analysts to
differentiate between the legit behavior and the fraudulent behavior of
teens is to try to walk a mile in the fraudster's shoes and to really
picture themselves as that teenager looking to commit fraud, intentionally
or unintentionally. Saporta said that while seeing fraud committed at the
teenage level is not a new phenomenon, it is one that continues to evolve
and grow. Over the last five years in particular, she's noted that teens are
moving from simply using family members as a source for stolen credit cards
to going online to find stolen credentials. It's no wonder
this trend has emerged, especially with the onslaught of data breaches in
recent years that have made compromised payment data more accessible than
ever before.

Schooling parents in the
art of safe online shopping
As parents prepare
for the inevitable back-to-school rush, there is a flurry of shopping and
bargain hunting for everything from the traditional pens, paper and
backpacks, to larger, more expensive items, such as tablets and laptops.
And, as many parents take to the Internet in search of bargains to
appease budgets, the risk of being exposed to online fraud and counterfeit
products increases.
Here are a few top tips for savvy shoppers to
consider when searching for bargains online.
Price:
Counterfeiters are wising up and realising that sometimes it can be more
convincing the less the item is reduced. Search around for the recommended
retail price (RRP) and even if the item only has a small discount, such as
20%, it is worth checking other elements of the website to see if they stack
up.
The site itself: Although some websites look
professional at first glance, counterfeiters aren't always so careful about
the 'About' or 'FAQ' page. Check these sections and make sure you look at
the delivery details and note where the company is based, does it match up
with the company's details?
Secure payment: Any
time you are asked for login details, or encouraged to enter your credit
card details, the page should be protected by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connection.
Return and privacy policies: A bona
fide seller should provide an option of how to cancel orders and where to
return goods. Counterfeiters won't usually invest the time to craft a clear,
strong privacy policy, so if there isn't one on the website, be warned.
Check the web address: Impersonation of a brand's
website and what is referred to as 'cybersquatting' are on the rise. When
doing an initial search for the brand name, check the link and look out for
spelling mistakes on both the website and the URL address. If the address
begins with https://, the 's' tells you it's a secure site.
Online marketplaces: Even if the marketplace itself is a brand you
know, check reviews of the seller or try find any forum chats and speak to
other retailers before placing that order.

County, FL: Sheriff's Office arrests 4 on racketeering charges after nearly
$179,000 worth of thefts
Four Jacksonville residents are in custody and three more are being
sought in connection with the theft of electronics totaling $178,929 from
Wal-Mart stores through the Southeast, including five Polk County cities.
They have been charged with conspiracy to engage in racketeering, grand
theft and conspiracy to commit grand theft. A racketeering charge is a
first-degree felony and carries up to 30 years in prison if defendants are
convicted. Statewide, there were thefts at Wal-Marts in 26 counties.

Mass. Home Depot Ex-Con
Pleads Guilty to Hitting Them Again for $35k
A Massachusetts man who already served time in prison for defrauding Home
Depot has admitted doing it again. The U.S. attorney's office says
56-year-old Robert Dooley, of Salem, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Boston
federal court to 10 counts of wire fraud. Authorities say he took items off
the shelves and brought them to the return desk in exchange for store
credit. He admitted defrauding the store of more than $35,000.
Dooley was sentenced in 2007 to five years in prison after being
convicted of defrauding Atlanta-based Home Depot of more than $330,000 in a
similar scheme.

CC Fraud Female Duo Busted in Clarksville, In.
Two women were arrested in Clarksville Indiana and are currently in Clark
County Jail for perpetuating and running a highly successful fake credit
card ring. The women's modus operendi was to buy iPhones with the
stolen credit cards, fence them and sell them for cash, and then
load the cash on to different gift cards which they would then use for their
own purchases.
Interestingly enough, the police have found that the two women are not
friends; in fact, they only met each other less than a week ago. The Secret
Service has been called in to investigate this case, especially because all
the credit cards and licenses have the names of real people, people whose
identities these women stole. myinforms.com

Investigators are still trying to determine what caused a panic at a Raleigh
shopping mall last weekend, and the FBI will now be assisting in that effort,
police said Thursday. The Raleigh Police Department has submitted a recording of
sounds that people thought was gunfire inside Crabtree Valley Mall on Saturday
afternoon to an FBI laboratory for analysis. There's no timeframe for when the
analysis will be complete, police said. Twenty-one people were injured in the

The man accused of waving a gun around and causing panic at a TJ Maxx store in

after police responded to a call of an armed gunman in a business. According to
his arrest report, he had been in the store following a female customer around
when he pointed a gun into the air and then at the woman's head and he began
yelling. He took the woman's purse. Another customer who was trying to find her
teen daughter encountered Mote and he also pointed the gun at her head and
threatened to shoot her. This caused employees and patrons to run for cover or

Repetition is one of the keys to
success. Developing and evolving your approach, your message, your actions and
processes and focusing on repetitively delivering them, you'll be able to almost
transcend your message and focus on its delivery as opposed to its action. We
all have core things we do every day and if you can develop repetitive
responses, that ensures continuity, you can then begin to master what you do and
truly make an impact on the group you're working with.
Just a Thought,
Gus
