Be suspicious if the cardholder avoids eye contact, is shaking, or otherwise looks nervous. This may be the first time they've tried to use a fake I.D. and could fear getting caught. Other signs of lying include pursing their lips or touching their face as they talk. If the person is right-handed, then they will usually look to the right when they tell a lie. A driver's license and other I.D.s should include a physical description that includes height, age, eye color, and weight. Check that the person handing over the I.D. matches the description. It can be difficult to judge height in the abstract. However, compare the person to your own height. If you're 5'6" and the cardholder is allegedly 5'8", then they should be close to your height. The I.D. should also have a picture. Analyze whether the person looks remotely like the person handing you the I.D.. Although the picture may be a few years old, the person should look generally the same. Instead of focusing on someone's hairstyle, look at those features that don't change: nose, ears, eyes, and chin. Be suspicious if they look exactly like the picture or are wearing the same clothing. This indicates they made the fake I.D. recently. If the cardholder is signing for something, compare the signatures. If they don't match, then the I.D. is probably fake. You might suspect someone buying alcohol or cigarettes is using a fake I.D.. In that situation, ask them for their signature and then compare it. Sometimes, people will accidentally sign their real name, so this is a good test. As you're holding the card, ask the cardholder questions about the information that appears on it. For example, you should ask them their date of birth. If they can't remember, then the I.D. is fake. You can also ask them their middle name or year they graduated high school. If they hesitate, then they may be using a fake I.D. If a companion is with the cardholder, quickly ask them the cardholder's name. If they hesitate, they could be lying. Someone might spend a lot of money to get 1 fake I.D. However, they probably don't have 2. Ask to see a second photo I.D. If the person can't produce 1, then the I.D. might be fake.

Summary: Look for signs of anxiety. Compare the physical description to the cardholder. Compare the picture to the person. Compare signatures. Ask the cardholder questions. Ask for a second form of photo identification.

Most reporting agencies will instruct you to forward the original email when you report a phishing scam. Although you do not need to open these emails, you do not need to delete them either. You can also take a screen shot of the email on your cell phone in case the email is subsequently deleted. Scammers often pretend to be other individuals or businesses. You should contact the spoofed entity and let them know that someone is impersonating them. The company or individual may wish to pursue a lawsuit. ISPs try to filter out what appears to be a phishing attempt. Accordingly, you should inform them so that they can update their firewall and prevent the same scammer from targeting more people. Your ISP is the company that provides you with internet access. Check your bill. If you use free Wi-Fi provided by a business, university, or building management company, then alert someone who works with the organization. There are many government organizations you can contact to report a phishing scam. Before contacting them, gather necessary information: your contact information (phone number and mailing address), the name of the individual or business being defrauded, and the telephone number and website address given in the email. You can contact the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. Your complaint will be processed and then forwarded to the appropriate authority. Notify the Federal Trade Commission. While they cannot help individual cases, their Consumer Sentinel complaint database provides information to law enforcement worldwide. Forward phishing emails to spam@uce.gov. File a complaint with the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team at their US-CERT site. Their function is to respond and defend against cyber-attacks of all kinds.

Summary: Keep all suspect emails. Contact the company or individual being spoofed. Forward the email to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact the authorities.

Since most sheep casings are packaged in brine, fill a bowl with warm water and put your casing into it. Leave the casing to soak and change the water at least 2 to 3 times as it soaks for an hour. Changing the water frequently will help flush the salt out from the casing. The sheep casing should be soft and easy to handle once it's finished soaking. Remove the sheep casing from the bowl of water and run it under cool water to remove traces of salt. Then put the stuffing attachment on the end of your meat grinder. If you can, chill the stuffing attachment while the casing soaks. The spiced meat mixture should also be chilling while you're preparing the casing. Grease the stuffing attachment with a little shortening and tie a knot at one end of the casing. Slide the open end of the casing onto the attachment until the tied end is at the tip of the stuffing attachment. Then place a rimmed baking sheet under it and pour enough water to come 14 inch (0.64cm) up the side of the pan. The water in the sheet will help the meat-filled casing slide away from the stuffing attachment while you're working. Use any size baking sheet. Keep in mind that the longer the sheet, the more room the meat-filled casing has to move. Remove the chilled meat from the refrigerator and transfer it to the sausage stuffer. Push down firmly to remove as much air as you can. Then turn your mixer on so it begins to push the meat down through the nozzle into the casing. Try to work quickly so the meat stays cold and the hot dogs hold their shape. Once you've pushed all of the spiced meat into the casing, turn off the machine and firmly pull the casing from the attachment. Tie the end tightly at the end of the filled casing and use a sausage pricker to poke any air pockets you see. It's important to remove pockets of air since these will cause the hot dogs to spoil quickly. Determine how long you want the hot dogs to be and then pinch the casing to create a gap. Twist at that spot 2 to 3 times to separate one hot dog from the next. Continue to twist off at even lengths. You should be able to get about 15 hot dogs that are about 6 inches (15cm) long. Once you've twisted the filled casing into individual links, take a sharp knife or kitchen-only scissors and cut in between them to separate the hot dogs. Put them in a container and refrigerate them until you're ready to parboil them.
Summary: Soak 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3.0m) of sheep casing for 1 hour. Rinse the casing and put the stuffing attachment on your meat grinder. Attach the casing to the stuffer and place a pan of water directly below it. Fill the stuffer with the meat and turn the machine on. Fill the casing and prick it to remove air pockets. Twist the filled casing into individual hot dogs. Cut and chill the hot dogs until you're ready to parboil them.
