RSN™ Guide: How To Spot Fake United States Military ID Cards
Right Up Front – If Someone Sends You A Photo Of Their ID Card They ARE A Scammer!
That is because it is illegal for United States Military personnel to copy their ID cards. It is that simple!
However, so many people want to understand how to make sure they are fakes that we have created the following.
United States Military ID Cards Are Called “CAC” – Common Access Cards. The CAC, a “smart” card about the size of a credit card, is the standard identification for active duty uniformed Service personnel, Selected Reserve, U.S. Department of Defence [DoD] civilian employees, and eligible contractor personnel. It is also the principal card used to enable physical access to buildings and controlled spaces, and it provides access to DoD computer network and systems.

RomanceScamsNow.com The Official News Magazine About Scams & Scammers™ From [SCARS] The Society Of Citizens Against Romance Scams
This Week On RSN™
We have just completed our re-registration and are now incorporated as a fully tax-exempt nonprofit corporation in the state of Delaware. We had previously been registered under a different status that was less favorable for full charitable status. Now that this is complete we will be moving to consolidate and work more closely with the U.S. Administration to more dramatically address the needs of victims and changes in law. Dr. McGuinness and our SCARS Executives will be more public in our advocacy activities as well to counter fake and amateur advocates.
We just returned from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a huge number of major milestones completed. See our Main Page on Facebook » for the details.
Our focus is on placing the spotlight on the political battles in the U.S. over the Communications Decency Act and on the new proposed European Copyright Directive. CDA modification proposals from so-called Advocates in Facebook’s pockets really only benefit Facebook, not victims. The new E.U. directive will be a complete disaster for us all.
We are providing everyone with our new Cybersecurity Awareness Training »
We are also adding more of our awareness content and social media posters to our website »
As always you need to learn to stop trusting strangers that you meet online! Click Here To Learn More »
