CEO Dan Ribacoff, a private investigator, credibility assessment expert, and polygraph examiner, was asked how to detect lies when the use of the polygraph is not available.
Check out the following article to see Dan Ribacoff P.I.’s responses on:
1. Why We Lie 2. The Brain and How We Lie 3. Lie Detection in Speech and Conversation
Your brain really goes into ‘rev the engine’ mode when you lie
When you give me the truth, your brain is not working very hard, because it’s accessing information that is already there or not there. When you want to lie, your brain must work harder

How can we prevent Employee Theft? Dan Ribacoff says that we can take these steps in order to identify and prevent it.
The number one cause of loss of inventory for businesses across the world.
Employee theft is defined as the stealing or misuse of an employer’s assets without permission. Some of these common assets that employees can steal are:
Money: This is the most common asset that is stolen in most businesses.
Time: Getting paid for time that they were not working.
Information: Stealing ideas or even the blueprint for a product.
Supplies: Most common in taking office supplies or even food from restaurants.
Most of the time, employee theft can go on for multiple years before it is noticed. It is very common in all work places and no matter how big or how small, it eventually all adds up.
How can I prevent employee theft?
Our partners over at LegalScreen have shared some telling signs to spot employee theft:
Performing background checks for all employees is the number one way to prevent this from happening. With these background checks, you can determine if the potential hire has a higher risk of stealing from you, in which case they will not be hired. These background checks are very simple and very important to a business. A very simple process can go a long way for your business in the long run.
Another way to prevent employee theft is by hiring a Private Investigator. This will show your employees and potential employees how serious you are. It gives the employees a zero tolerance policy. If you suspect theft or fraud within your company, have the Private Investigator get to the bottom of it, one less task for you as a manager to worry about.
Private Investigators are commonly used to conduct surveillance on potential suspects, perform audits of security and operational procedures, and conduct computer forensics on company owned equipment.

Almost 1 out of every 2 Americans are vulnerable to Tax Return fraud due to the Equifax breach
About 143 million Americans—nearly half of the country—face risks after the Equifax breach was identified several days ago. The breach has exposed personal data such as personal identifiers, social security numbers, employment information, credit card information and more.
Dan Ribacoff states that this exposure gives way for scammers and fraudsters to capitalize once tax season comes around.
It is worthwhile to file your tax returns as soon as possible this upcoming year.
Michael Lai, CEO of Sitejabber, reaffirms this in saying: “Once your return is filed, nobody else can file a second return without raising some red flags, so the scammers will simply move on to the next victim,”
