Hi guys,

Werd net via een mailing list op de hoogte gebracht dat je bij de USPS
(US Postal Service) gratis DVDs kan bestellen die erg nuttig kunnen zijn
voor security awareness training.

Een overzichtje:

All the King�s Men: Picking Up the Pieces
Fraud schemes victimize millions of Americans each year, leaving many
financially devastated. There are laws to protect victims and services
and support available to them. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service urges
victims to learn more about their rights and services by ordering our
free DVD. Remember, being a victim of a crime is nothing to be ashamed
of. And neither is seeking help to recover from it.

Nowhere to Run: Cross-Border Fraud
The Internet and international phone calls make it easy for fraudsters
to work from anywhere in the world. This film illustrates how U.S.
Postal Inspectors created task forces with Canadian law enforcement
partners to stop �long distance� scams.

Web of Deceit: Internet Fraud
Internet scams are like old wine in new bottles. Telemarketing and mail
fraud scams are now coming to you from cyberspace. This DVD tells the
story of a scammer who uses the Internet to victimize unsuspecting
consumers around the world until he gets caught in his own web of
deceit. The DVD also provides tips on what to watch out for when you do
business on the Internet.

Long Shot: Foreign Lottery Scams
It�s illegal to play foreign lotteries in the United States. But another
reason not to play is that you are almost guaranteed to lose. And once
you play, you can count on receiving more �chances� to play and lose.
This free DVD tells the story of a foreign lottery fraud victim and the
con artist behind the scam. Produced by High Noon Film and presented by
the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, it also provides tips on helping you
avoid becoming a victim of this scam.

Work-at-Home Scams: They Just Don't Pay
Working at home has become attractive to many stay-at-home moms, college
students, and retirees. While some jobs are legitimate, others just
don't deliver on their promises. This free, short film tells the story
of a new type of work-at-home scam and how a young mother gets caught up
in it. It also provides tips on how you can avoid being duped by
criminals and what to do if you've been victimized. This High Noon Film
is presented by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Identity Crisis: Protect Your Identity
Identity fraud is the fastest-growing crime in America. With millions of
victims and losses in the billions of dollars, it continues to be one of
consumers' biggest fears. This free DVD tells the story of a couple
whose credit is ruined and of the criminals who defrauded them. The DVD
by High Noon Film, presented by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, also
provides tips on how to protect yourself against identity fraud -- and
what to do if you become a victim.

Delivering Justice: Dialing for Dollars
Telemarketing fraud costs Americans millions of dollars each year. And
when it comes to phony investment "opportunities," older Americans are
prime targets. This free, 15-minute DVD tells the story of such a scam
and the lives that are ruined by criminals. The film provides tips on
how to protect yourself from investment fraud and tells you what to do
if you've been victimized. "Dialing for Dollars" is a High Noon film
presented by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Het lijkt mij dat dit eerder op inwoners van de US doelt, doch heb
vanochtend succesvol een bestelling kunnen plaatsen met een Belgisch
adres.  Dit kan je doen op:
