Apparently this guy would watch daytime television, a show such as "Family Feud". He would see an attractive female contestant and she would have a name tag showing her first name. He easily found out her last name as she was playing with her family.

Knowing that her name was, for instance: Debbie Martin and knowing that the Martin family told the host of the show that they were from Atlanta, he would then go to "Myspace" of "Facebook" and look up: Debbie Martin from Atlanta, Georgia. he would send her a "friend's request". The D.J.'s were not condoning what he did, they actually viewed him as a pervert, but they were saying how easy it is these days for people to access your information.

We all need to be aware of what we put out there, but parents of younger children need to be extra vigilant as we can see how many people get constantly caught on "To catch a Predator". It is even more frightening when they question these predators and discover that they are teachers, law enforcement officers and doctors. The very people that society believes they can trust.

On Wednesday, a man dressed as an armored truck employee with the company AT Systems walked into a BB&T bank in Wheaton about 11 a.m., was handed more than $500,000 in cash and walked out, a source familiar with the case said.

It wasn't until the actual AT Systems employees arrived at the bank, at 11501 Georgia Ave., the next day that bank officials realized they'd been had.

[...]

And on Thursday, about 9:30 a.m., a man dressed as an employee of the security company Brink's walked into a Wachovia branch in downtown Washington and walked out with more than $350,000.

The man had a badge and a gun holster on his belt, said Debbie Weierman, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington field office. He told officials at the bank, at 801 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, that he was filling in for the regular courier.

About 4 p.m., when the real guard showed up, a bank official told him that someone had picked up the cash, D.C. police said. The guard returned to his office and told a supervisor that he did not make the pickup at the bank. The supervisor called a Wachovia manager, who in turn notified authorities. Police were called nearly 11 hours after the heist.

Social engineering at its finest.
