Right, but that data doesn't go into NIBRS, which is what most police departments, institutions, and journalists refer to for crime reporting and demographics. You can look up violent and property crime rates through the FBI's crime data explorer, but you can't look up cyber crimes.

Well, you don't show your driver's license for online transactions, either. It's more about adding layers of identification for opening new accounts. For instance, when I was getting FMLA benefits earlier this year when I had a baby, I had to take a face scan video and send it in.

But, online transactions could be more secure. More cards could add two-factor authentication for online purchases. It's just a balance between convenience and protection, and right now most institutions lean toward convenience.

I just wrote a long response to this and I don't think it went through! Which brings me to my first piece of advice, always SAVE. I gave some damn good advice too.

Basically what I said was that it's most important to FINISH your script. I talk to so many aspiring writers that have an idea, or have an outline or 20 pages of a script. It's so important to just finish so you can see it as a whole and then go back and revise.

And never be too precious because the script will get noted up by producers, studio, directors, actors! It is an ever evolving thing! It's going to change from your original draft. Or maybe I'm just a terrible screenwriter, jury is still out on that one.

All through social media. I would tweet full scripts out and put them on Reddit. Scripts that had IP that I didn't own. I knew I could never get them made but they would get attention.

I started this website www.WeekendScripts.com where I would take a news story like the Fyre Festival and write a full script in a weekend and people would be so stunned that there was already a movie script about a news story that came out a few days before that it would go viral. Wasn't necessarily that good but it was fast!

Once I had a few viral scripts, I got an agent and then started writing originals like "The Binge"

The FTC does track the and FBI has access to these numbers, when people take the time to report it.

They are basically in information-gathering mode, and won't open investigations into individual cases unless they involve other crimes like money laundering.

Incredible! A very surreal experience to get to work with someone you've been watching and been a fan of for so long. She was insanely funny and made the character infinitely funnier than it was in the script.

I apologize. I do not know where my response went. Yes, I have several clients in this situation as well. I can’t give a blanket statement as all situations are different and I can say that they too need and deserve support.

I can’t disclose this information due to confidentiality and I can add that abuse is not the only reason it would not be safe to disclose affair. An example I can give is if partner is suicidal.

But there are many reasons. Sometimes it has to do with timing as well.
