In episode 133, I spoke to Connor Tumbleson about some people from who knows where who were stealing his identity. Luckily, they weren't out to destroy his reputation or extort him, but think of the damage that could be done. We all have data out there, which data brokers use to make profit. Anyone on the web can buy your private details to do anything they want. This can lead to identity theft, phishing attempts, harassment, and unwanted spam calls. But there's a solution called Delete Me. I tried it and they immediately got busy scouring the internet for my name and gave me reports on what they found. And they got busy deleting these things. It was great to have someone on my team when it comes to privacy.

So let's start out with your name. So what do you want to be known as on here as well? Because you may want a moniker or something.
Oh, no. So my name is Sam Bent. It's a matter of public record. Also, I'm also known as doing FedTime online and Killaby. That was my hacker alias for a while. And also 12189082, which, you know, it's almost like, you know, talking to Jean Valjean. But that's my Fed number. So, yeah, I got a couple of aliases.
Okay. Well, maybe that gave the story away a little bit. Whatever. Now you know. Sam spent some time in federal prison. And honestly, sometimes when I talk with criminals on this show, I get a little nervous and have to lay down some boundaries. I'm assuming your criminal spree is over, but I do not want to know about any future things you may be cooking up that may be illegal because it puts me in an awkward spot. Definitely not.
Even if I had mentioned something to you federally, you are literally part of a conspiracy now and you can get up to 10 years. So I take it very seriously. Even like when I was incarcerated, I would have guys who would walk up to me and they'd be like, Oh, when I get out, I'm going to sell Coke right this time. I'd be like, listen, man, get the fuck away from me.
