Barry Elliott (Identity Theft Specialist (OPP))

Detective Staff Sergeant Barry Elliott has been a member of the Ontario Provincial Police since 1975.

Barry Elliott, is the creator and coordinator of PHONEBUSTERS, a national call center combating telemarketing fraud. In 1993, Barry created a partnership with law enforcement, consumer agencies and business to fight this problem. His plan was to set up a single Canadian location for telemarketing fraud complaints and data that would focus on enforcement and education. In addition to telemarketing fraud PhoneBusters also central sources complaints on West African Fraud letters and Identity Theft.

PHONEBUSTERS also plays a vital role in the collection and dissemination of victim evidence, documentation, statistics and tape recordings to outside investigations.

In 1997, Barry built on PHONEBUSTERS’ phenomenal success by launching SENIORBUSTERS, a group of about 60 volunteers from diverse backgrounds who are making contact with elderly victims from across Canada and the U.S.

In 1993, Barry was the recipient of the Canadian Bankers Law Enforcement Award for exceptional devotion to duty meritorious action in combating bank-related crime.

In 1995, Barry received an honorable mention for the 1995 Herman Goldstein Excellence in Problem Solving Award, for his outstanding work on PHONEBUSTERS, presented by the Police Executive Research Forum in San Diego, California.

NACCA is an international association that represents over 160 consumer agencies at all levels of government in the United States and several other countries. This award is given to the person who exemplifies the best in enhancing and promoting consumer interests and fairness in the marketplace.

In May 2005 the IODE presented Barry with the Good Citizen Award for Outstanding Acts of Community Service.

In Oct 2005 Nipissing University Criminal Justice Student Association presented Barry with the Certificate of Honorary Membership.

Barry has been instrumental in educating and raising the public’s awareness of fraudulent telemarketing, which is clearly the most successful and effective long-term strategy in reducing telephone fraud.

The success of PhoneBusters has saved the Canadian public and the Canadian banks millions of dollars in losses and victimization.

The new concept that Barry created in PhoneBusters has been copied in the United States with the creation of a national call center, Consumer Sentinel, lead by the Federal Trade Commission in Washington in 1997.

Barry testified before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations at the U.S. Congress in Washington DC on June 14, 2001 on cross border fraud between Canada and the United States. The Chairman Carl Levin and the Ranking Minority Member Susan Collins thanked Barry for providing invaluable insight into this serious problem, as the creator of PhoneBusters. And also greatly appreciated his valuable perspective upon how cross-border law enforcement coordination between our two nations can be improved.

In September of 2004 Barry was the guest of the Office of Fair Trading in the United Kingdom. Barry traveled throughout the United Kingdom giving presentations and media interviews on cross border fraud in the hopes of raising awareness of this very serious problem. Barry was successful in assisting the Office of Fair Trading in developing a cross border fraud national strategy

Andy Walker - (Writer / Journalist / IT Educator)

Early in his boyhood, it was science, and more specifically medicine, that fascinated Andy Walker. But it wasn't until he almost failed organic chemistry in high school that he had second thoughts about a career as a doctor. Luckily, his friends recruited him to work on the school newspaper Bandersnatch — named after Lewis Carroll's frumious monster — and it was there, in the paper's basement offices, that his natural curiosity fermented into a career in journalism.

This led to a Journalism degree at Ryerson University in Toronto and into a career in newspapers. His first jobs included stints at the Canadian Press Wire Service and later at the Toronto Sun, a tabloid metro daily. His early career turned when he covered an air show in Toronto. He flew with Canada's Snowbirds on a press flight and a few days later his pilot crashed into the lake in front of thousands. At 22, he wrote a several national exclusives around the story, including the sole interview with the pilot's parents who saw their son perish from the air show stands.

Later, Walker worked for Newsworld and CBC's The National where he experienced the fall of the Berlin Wall from a TV newsroom. He went on to work for Southam Magazine Group, and it was here that he found an interest in electronic publishing long before the mass market Internet. After winning a Southam award for his magazine work, Walker left journalism to explore the film business in Vancouver. He worked as a production assistant, set decorator, and publicist. And he dabbled in screenwriting and walk-on acting. At the same time he returned to journalism working as a general assignment reporter at the Vancouver Province, a daily metro newspaper, where he wrote numerous line cover stories, mostly in the crime and police beats.

It was technology that steered him back to journalism. At the birth of the consumer Internet, he was hired to produce the first Canadian-sponsored content on the on-line service Prodigy. Then in 1995, he became a key player in putting the Southam newspaper chain on the Web. While at Southam New Media he engineered what have become some of the busiest journalism web sites in Canada. He was also a early architect of Canada.com, training the launch team in web technologies and designing and deploying the sites first interactive features.

Walker went on to train at MSNBC in Redmond, WA and then was part of the pioneering team that launched MSN.ca's news service between 1997 and 1999. During this remarkable period of Internet history, Andy leveraged his career as a journalist by writing about technology for the Edmonton Journal newspaper. Subsequently, his column "Cyberwalker", a tech advice column was published across the Southam newspaper chain via the Southam Wire. This became Cyberwalker.com, which 10 years later attracts more than three million unique visitors each year.

During the dotcom boom, he went on to write technology for some of Canada's most prestigious news outlets including the National Post, the Ottawa Citizen and Fast Forward, the Toronto Star's award-winning technology section. His work was syndicated across the North America and around the world and his has been translated into French, Spanish and Italian.

Walker has contributed to the highly acclaimed enRouteIn magazine and to MoneySense, Canada's foremost personal finance magazine. He also appeared on the cover of the Oct 2003 issue. Walker has also appeared as a tech expert on hundreds of TV and radio broadcasts in Canada and the U.S. magazine, LANChile's

On the morning of Sept 11, 2001, he traveled to New York City on an Air Canada flight and from the aircraft witnessed the day the world changed. The aircraft flew by World Trade Center as the first tower burned. After arriving at La Guardia at 9:02 AM, he reported the breaking story live by phone for Toronto's Citytv and continued coverage by phone over a three-day period.

In 2002, Walker moved to Berkeley, California to work with publishing pioneer David Bunnell, the founder of PC magazine, PC World, and MacWorld to launch Dig_iT magazine.

Between 2004 and 2005, he co-produced and co-hosted the internationally syndicated TV show Call for Help with Leo Laporte. The show airs daily on G4 in the U.S., G4techtv in Canada and on the How-To Channel in Australia. He currently hosts Call for Help: Web Gems.

Walker, 38, is based in Toronto. He is the author of Absolute Beginner's Guide to Security, Spam, Spyware and Viruses (Que Publishing). Th

Our company is advertised on the internet as well as in printed media. The CEO continues to participate in public speaking engagements for such organizations as the Chamber of Commerce, The Society of Internet Professionals, The Young Entrepreneurs Association, The Toronto Board of Trade, C.F.I.B.

Security breaches can and do come from anywhere.

Computer hacking forensic investigation is the process of detecting hacking attacks and properly extracting evidence to report the crime and conduct audits to prevent future attacks. Computer forensics is simply the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence. Evidence might be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including but not limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud. CHFI investigators can draw on an array of methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information.

Securing and analyzing electronic evidence is a central theme in an ever-increasing number of conflict situations and criminal cases. Electronic evidence is critical in the following situations:

Computer forensics enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases. This may range from tracing the tracks of a hacker through a client’s systems, to tracing the originator of defamatory emails, to recovering signs of fraud.

• Police and other law enforcement personnel

PROFESSIONAL COURTESY & TRUST

We chose the term “Trust” in our professional practice carefully because it is the real essence of relationships in the networked world. Security is primarily defensive and looking inward and Control is a process to achieve it. Trust is an on-going interaction that establishes and maintains mutual confidence among many entities. All organizations require security and control, but our philosophy extends beyond that. It can depend on technology and protective mechanisms, but not solely. It involves a high level of professionalism, reputation, contracts, law, openness, familiarity, fair business, ethics, quality, timeliness, and a host of other characteristics that build the foundation for a successful business relationship complimentary to both parties.

Trust is crucial in today’s emerging business environments and the foundation upon which J.B. MacLean Consulting Inc. builds its long-term customer relationships.
