Daniel recently noticed a scamming pattern that he worries will fool many unsuspecting Facebook users. Recently, scammers have been directing people towards domains that look authentic at first glance because they begin with “http” or “www” or include personal references, as per the image below.

Howard Schultz’s campaign to divest from all political campaigns as a sign of disgust for Washington’s political feuds, has caught President Obama’s attention. President Obama recently called the Starbucks CEO to discuss the campaign, and while Schultz emphasized that his campaign is not directed against the President, it is clear that his rally has made an impression on our nation’s leaders.
This article takes a look at that story, as well as others that demonstrate Schultz’s renowned leadership and personality traits.
