Someone I met yesterday could have been a man previously guilty of fraud. He seemed nice enough, as he strolled around holding his wife's hand. They parted ways as he began looking at different products.

"I want to buy 15 of these."
"Oh? What for?"
"My company sets up security systems all over the island."

We chatted a little bit more and I asked him for his information so we could set up a consultation. He didn't have a business card on him, so I asked him for his email. He couldn't remember it, but I took what information I have.

Usually, when someone runs their own business, it's pretty easy to find a contact email on the internet. I had an impossible time doing it. Trust me, I've been using the internet for most of my life, I'm very good at finding things.

While I didn't find his email, I found someone with his name who was in charge of a company that routinely scammed people here and in California for concert tickets. 10 years ago. Crazy, right?

There's a good chance that it wasn't him, but considering the wealth of information the internet has on people... There's also a chance it was. It's amazing to me that in my lifetime, we went from thinking people on the internet were creepy pedophiles to creating communities, making friends, and falling in love. With that progression, is it any wonder that our own stories would be shared too?

We use the internet to journal and remember a lot of things. Facebook does a great job of this. Of course, some people choose the opposite with apps like Snapchat; where whatever you say disappears into cyberspace (which is a completely dated term). There's a lot that is completely within our control... But also gives access to other people to do with what they want, which is obviously out of our control.

People get concerned about being hacked and stuff, and it's a fair concern. Sites on which you conduct transactions shouldn't ever have that issue... But if you've seen familytreenow.com, there's tons of information that's scarily right. Possibly by means of what you've authorized yourself.

Anyway, I found it ironic that this person works in security systems now... Especially if he is the same person that I saw on the news when looking for his email. Maybe he had a change of heart?
