On this episode we thank our listeners for tuning in and let everyone know where they can find us.

Karisse will soon be launching the Fraudology Podcast which deals mainly with Card Not Present Fraud. It will be available on all major podcast platforms with an estimated arrival the week of August 6. You can also find Karisse Hendrick direct on Linkedin.

Brett will be launching The Unethical Life Podcast and YouTube channel in mid August. No one says they want to grow up to be a bad person.

Karisse and Brett wish to thank all of the listeners and promise to continue providing engaging, entertaining, and educational content on their respective channels and will continue fighting to make the world a better place.
