"DESPERATE GANG COUNTERFEITERS," Kingston Daily Standard. December 20, 1913. Page 1. --- Five Men Were Placed Under Arrest at Lavaltrie, Que. ---- ANOTHER AT MONTREAL ---- Latter Was Employed by Herald - Their Headquarters Fitted Up Like Arsenals. ---- Montreal, Que., Dec. 20. - With the arrest of Lavaltrie, Que., of five men, as announced yesterday, the police have run to earth a desperate gang of counterfeiters. The names of the men who are present in jail at Joliette under a strong guard are: Bartholomee Caron, Frederick Eaton, Edouard Pariseau, Philip Bousquet, and Eugene Gagne. One man was arrested here, Alfred Grenier, an engraver in the employ of The Herald Publishing Co.

Besides the arrest of six men, the police claim to have seized a most elaborate counterfeiting plant, including printing press, plates, specially prepared paper and everything necessary for the counterfeiting of United States ten dollar gold certificates.

Chief McCaskell stated that the farm house where the gang operated was fitted up like an arsenal. Shot guns and revolvers, with plenty of ammunition, were found and the gang evidently intended to put up a fight.

Oracle and Tarot Deck Pirating — A Followup

Since my previous post on this subject I’ve chatted with another deck creator about Tarot and Oracle Deck Counterfeiting (dare I create an acronym? TODC, todsy like “tipsy”). For a long time this publisher’s decks seemed to have escaped the scourge of being counterfeited. But, of course, that’s no longer the case. They are seeing their decks being pirated through AliExpress, EBay, and sometimes…

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

The Role of Product Authentication in Consumer Trust

In today's fast-paced and digitally connected world, consumer trust plays a pivotal role in the success of any brand. With an increasing number of products flooding the market, consumers are becoming more discerning about the authenticity of the products they purchase. It has led to a growing emphasis on product authentication as a crucial element in building and maintaining Consumer trust. The significance of product authentication and how it contributes to fostering trust among consumers examined:

Understanding Product Authentication

Product authentication involves using various technologies and techniques to verify the legitimacy of a product. This process is designed to confirm that a product is genuine, has not been tampered with, and meets the quality standards set by the brand. Authentication methods can range from traditional security features, such as holograms and serial numbers, to more advanced Authentication technologies like RFID tags, QR codes, and blockchain.

The Trust Deficit in the Consumer Landscape

In recent years, the rise of counterfeiting and product fraud has created a trust deficit in the consumer landscape. Counterfeit products harm consumers by providing substandard or potentially dangerous goods and damage the reputation of legitimate brands. This erosion of trust can have long-lasting consequences, impacting brand loyalty and customer relationships.

Benefits of Product Authentication in Building Consumer Trust

Quality assurance: Product authentication ensures that consumers receive genuine, high-quality products. Brands can use authentication methods to signal their commitment to delivering reliable and safe products, reinforcing their brand image.

Consumer confidence: Knowing a product is authentic gives consumers’ confidence in purchasing decisions. This confidence is crucial in today's competitive market, where consumers have many choices and are increasingly conscious of the authenticity of their products.

Brand protection: Implementing robust product authentication measures protects brands from the damaging effects of counterfeiting. It, in turn, helps in preserving the brand's integrity, customer loyalty, and market position.

Legal Compliance: Many industries are subject to regulations that require them to implement secure packaging as anti-counterfeiting measures. By adhering to these regulations and implementing product authentication technologies, brands ensure legal compliance and demonstrate their commitment to consumer safety.

Transparency and Traceability: Advanced authentication methods, like blockchain and QR code verification, enable transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain. Supply chain security helps prevent counterfeiting and allows consumers to trace the origin and journey of a product, fostering a sense of trust.

Challenges and Future Trends

While product authentication brings numerous benefits, challenges like implementation costs, scalability, and the constant evolution of counterfeit methods have to be addressed. Additionally, the future of product authentication lies in integrating emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT), to create even more secure and user-friendly authentication solutions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, product authentication is vital in Counterfeit prevention for building and maintaining consumer trust. As the marketplace becomes more complex and the risks of counterfeit products increase, brands must prioritize implementing robust authentication measures. By doing so, they protect their consumers and strengthen their brand image, foster loyalty, and differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape. As technology advances, the role of product authentication in consumer trust will likely evolve, presenting new opportunities and challenges for brands to navigate.

Middle school memeory.

My school once had an event at the end of the year where kids made a city out of boxes with businesses and an economy based on Home Depot paint tiles. Supposed to be a fun lesson/activity with taxation, sale licenses, and roads.

There was SO MUCH CRIME.

- Tax Evasion: There was a tax collector system to give back currency to kids who didn’t have much… people just started hiding out in friends houses and businesses when the tax collectors came.

- Sale of Illigal Goods: There was a GODS DAMN BLACK MARKET. Selling unapproved items such as trading cards, candy, AND LIVE GOLDFISH. *I just sold juice without a license*

- Organized Crime: Not surprising, criminals grouped together for safety. I think some peoples houses got destroyed.

- Counterfeiting: A group of students brought paint tiles of their own. They counterfeited money… for a cardboard city.

Kids are so just willing to do crime, wish I had the guts. Sadly I am be gay, no crime but video piracy.

"CLEVER FORGERY OF BETTING TICKETS," Toronto Star. June 2, 1913. Page 10. --- Fraud, Carefully Planned, Costs the O.J.C. About $4.000. ---- TORONTO CUP RACE ---- The Forged Pari-Mutuel Tickets Could Not Be Distinguished From the Genuine. ---- That some people can beat the pari-mutuel system of betting was demonstrated Saturday at the Woodbine when the famous French system of betting was defrauded out of nearly $4,000 in the Toronto Cup race by a shrewd clique of counterfeiters. It was thought that when the OJ.C. installed the "iron men" they had protected the public and the club against any fraud or counterfeiters, but the scheme worked on Saturday ripped a big hole in what looked to be the track cleverest and safest ways to wager on a horse.

The gang who worked this swindle so far have not yet been caught, and the city detectives, along with Pinkerton staff that were doing duty work at the Woodbine, are amazed at the swindle. At the races at Baltimore a similar stunt was worked and the perpetrators were never caught.

On the Big Race. It was on the big race on the card, the Toronto Cup event, one of the heaviest wagered races of the meet, which was won by Mr. Amos Turney's good horse Horron, that the fraud was committed,

All the phoney" tickets were made in the number of Horron for straight place and show money in $20 tickets - the largest individual bet accepted by the mutuels, showing that whoever committed the fraud were not only well acquainted with the inside machinery of the French system of betting, but had a knowledge of the handicapping as well. The frauds must have been carefully planned. There are only a few men who know what number a horse will carry in a race. The men who do the handicapping do not number the horses consecutively and the program of the day's racing is not printed until noon of the days of the meet.

Whoever had the bogus tickets printed must have got one of the first programs printed in order to get the number and names of the horses starting in the Toronto Cup.

As soon as the race was finished, when the payments on the tickets were being made the fraud was discovered when the cashier noticed the unusual number of winning tickets being cashed. The attention of the officials was called to the fact, and the pay its from that booth were held up and the tickets checked over. It was at once discovered that there was a shortage of nearly $4,000, as the sums paid out were much in excess of the money taken in on the machine. Paid Holder $180. Horren paid $18 on a two dollar ticket so a $20 ticket paid the holder $180.00, and they were the first to cash. Some betters had five and six tickets. Others were lined up where the place and show tickets are paid off and as a result the gang got away with a big haul before the fraud was discovered

The tickets issued by the Jockey Club for these machines were in two colors and wore printed in a Toronto establishment. These are of the ordinary white pasteboard and present no difficulty in counterfeiting When the phoney tickets were shown to the OJC Officials with the genuines, they were unable to tell the genuine ticket.

The most baffling thing of the whole affair which has the race officials and the police guessing is the manner in which the swindlers got possession of the tickets or the numbers in order to make the counterfeit. It is thought that tickets for every horse in the race were printed and thus were prepared to have the winning ticket on any horse that won the event.

Secretary Fraser, of the O.J.C., refused to discuss the matter.

"Our loss is the club's business - not that of the public," he said.

Mr. Fraser stated that the genuine and bogus tickets could not be distinguished

"Fast Piece of Work." The printer who publishes the programs cannot understand how the fraud took place. The betting ticket carries the number of the horse, and the programs with the number and names of the horses are not published till noon and do not reach the race till one o'clock. "I cannot understand how the game was worked," said the printer to The Star this morning. Of course, the make-up of the program passes through many hands, but does not go ontnde of my place till it. is ready for sale. Whoever committed it did a fast piece of work."

Eagle-eyed cashier eats into paperhangers' profits

Jax and Leo cruised the North Miami Beach in Leo’s shitty Camaro. The car, filled with the thrum of anticipation and a duffle bag stuffed with counterfeit bills, was a cauldron boiling with criminal plans. They had left their penny ante antics far behind, aiming for a bigger score. “Florida’s ripe for the picking,” Jax said, his eyes glinting with mischief as he unzipped the bag, grabbed a mess…

QR Code Anti-Counterfeit and Brand Protection Solutions

QR code anti-counterfeit and security solutions have become increasingly important in recent years due to the rise of counterfeit products and fraudulent activities. Here are a few points to consider when implementing such a solution:

Authentication: Make sure your QR code solution provides a robust authentication mechanism. This can include cryptographic methods, digital signatures, or other security measures to ensure the authenticity of the product.

Track and Trace: Implement a system that allows you to track the movement of your products from manufacturing to distribution to point-of-sale. This can help identify where counterfeit products are entering the supply chain.

User-Friendly: Ensure that the solution is user-friendly for both consumers and brand owners. Consumers should be able to easily verify the authenticity of a product using their smartphones, while brand owners should have access to comprehensive tracking and reporting tools.

Education: Educate consumers about how to use the QR code to verify product authenticity. Include clear instructions on packaging or marketing materials.

Integration: Make sure your solution can be easily integrated into your existing supply chain and manufacturing processes. This will minimize disruption and cost.

Data Security: Protect the data collected through the QR code system. Customer information and product tracking data should be stored securely to prevent data breaches.

Scalability: Ensure that the solution can scale with the growth of your business. As your product lines expand, the anti-counterfeit system should be able to accommodate more products and QR codes.

Regulatory Compliance: Be aware of any regulatory requirements or industry standards related to anti-counterfeit measures in your specific industry. Ensure that your solution complies with these standards.

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Consider the cost of implementing the QR code anti-counterfeit system against the potential savings from reducing counterfeit activities. It's important to demonstrate a clear return on investment.

Continuous Improvement: Continuously monitor the effectiveness of your solution and be prepared to make improvements and updates as needed to stay ahead of counterfeiters' tactics.

By addressing these points, you can create a comprehensive QR code anti-counterfeit and security solution that provides brand protection and helps eliminate fraudulent activities effectively.

My blog and Canadian 'Black Magic', a spy story, neo-Nazis and counterfeiting

GenCraft AI’s idea of what this specific blog might be about… One of the fascinating things about this blog, which I started in May 2010, is that people sometimes pick up on posts from the past and comment on them… and on previous Comments on them. For example, today there was a Comment about a blog I posted almost ten years ago – in October 2014.  The headline for that particular blog…
