2. Scam Baiter: Why I Risk Death Threats to Expose Online Cons
Wayne May (not his real name) has been putting himself on the line for almost 12 years as a “scam-baiter” to help victims through his website Scam Survivors. It all began when May “discovered he was ‘rather good’ at baiting romance scammers and found relatives of victims were approaching him to help loved ones.”
Check it out. In addition to information on May and his efforts, this article runs down five common internet scams to avoid and five pieces of advice for those who may have already been scammed.

3. Republican Senator Says Trump’s Actions Threaten World War III
Whether Sen. Bob Corker’s statements about Trump are hyperbolic or hit the nail on the head, the fact is war is looming.
It might be started by a cyberattack that shuts down our nation’s power grid. Or tensions surrounding North Korea might finally boil over. Or the dollar might go the way of the dodo, causing a financial collapse the likes of which we’ve never seen.
Whatever the inciting incident, you must be ready for anything. Preparedness will be the key to survival. Food, water, medicine, ammunition… start stocking up NOW if you haven’t already begun.
4. How to Dehydrate Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs
Even if you never need to tap into your emergency food stores because of a natural disaster or a societal collapse, this skill will come in handy every year as fall turns to winter and the price of out-of-season fruits and vegetables skyrockets.
This comprehensive post from the folks over at Survival Sullivan gives step-by-step instructions for five different dehydration methods. No matter which method you choose, there are two steps that must always be followed first — article author Rebekah W. details those as well.
Take a look and get drying! As Rebekah mentions in closing, “Drying your fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs is a process that allows you to enjoy the bounty of your garden throughout the year. Even if you have limited start-up funds or time, dehydration is an enjoyable hobby that will allow you to store and stockpile food to your heart’s content.”
5. The Seven Things You Need to Do Now to Prepare for an Earthquake
Earthquakes are an interesting natural phenomenon. Potential occurrences can be pinpointed (somewhat) based on known fault lines, but their timing is completely unpredictable. Last month alone there were THREE earthquakes in Mexico — all with magnitudes that registered higher than a 6.0 on the Richter scale.
In the U.S., West Coast residents know the dangers of earthquakes all too well. Even my colleagues in Baltimore remember the 5.8-magnitude quake in 2011 that cracked the Washington Monument and severely damaged the Washington National Cathedral.
This lengthy article packs a TON of useful information into seven actionable steps — there’s even a handy checklist at the end you can print and use to prepare. Much of this advice can be applied to other disasters as well, so give it a good read.
There’s no time like the present…
Stay safe,
Jason Hanson
