During Mr. Sam's unemployment, I posted about how difficult it is to obtain unemployment compensation. It took several rounds to just get through the application process and we were amazed at how it seemed like the State was making it almost impossible for the unemployed to obtain benefits. Mr. Sam, with a MBA and a reliable internet connection almost could not obtain benefits.
Well, the unemployment system in Florida was replaced, on October 15, 2013, with a new system. But the new system has a whole host of problems. Well now the Department of Labor is heading back to Florida to investigate the new system. The DOL estimates that Floridians have lost $20 million in benefits due to the faulty new system.

Florida - Fraud Capital of the Country
Today I read a news article about scammers targeting Nordstrom computers in South Florida. Scammers distract the Nordstrom employees and take apart the register/computer back panel and add a credit card skimmer.
Thankfully these bad guys were caught because of surveillance camera footage. But, as a consumer you wouldn't even be able to be on the look out for this kind of skimmer because it is hidden. So make sure you pay close attention to those credit card and debit card statements.
