There is only one Second Glance Digital Media. However, several scammers and liars are using similar names to rip off unsuspecting victims like you.
These people have stolen my identity instead of using an original business name. They do NOT have my decades of experience and success, be warned! (Some are terribly out of date, using unsafe and unsupported Flash (one of a cyber criminal's easiest ways into your computer), and building websites that aren't even mobile-friendly.)
These names were chosen to trick you into giving money to identity thieves. People using these names do NOT represent Second Glance Digital Media in any way:
- Second Glance Media
- Second Glance Design
- Second Glance Web Design
- Second Glance Website Design
- Second Glance Websites
Clients and prospects refer to my business in a variety of ways, sometimes using a combination of terms like those above. That's fine, but remember there is only one true Second Glance Digital Media, so be sure you're actually talking to me!

Top Sites - Spam, Scam, and Identity Theft Links
If you use Facebook, you need to understand that every single third-party company and individual who makes those cute little games and gadgets gets all your personal data for no good reason. And I guarantee you there is essentially no security on the servers where that data is stored. Even if you delete your Facebook account, all your personal data is still out there in the hands of total strangers, unprotected and waiting to be stolen. On top of this, Facebook is still being criticized for having horribly inadequate data protection of their own, so you should be using fake personal info on the site for a whole bunch of reasons.
Anyway, here's their security page - Facebook.com/security.
And user safety page - Facebook.com/safety.
And inadequate - privacy policy.
Twitter users, you should be checking the spam/scam alert page.
How many of these email & phone scams listed on the RCMP Phonebusters site have you come across?
Here's a great internet intrusion/attack testing tool. It checks your computer's ability to deflect and ignore communication attempts. It's called Shields Up, from security company Gibson Research. No downloads or anything are required, get simple File Sharing and Common Port vulnerability reports in about 10 seconds.
(MySpace is beyond help as far spam, profile hacking, and identity theft goes, so I'm not wasting my time putting links here. If you still use that site for some reason, good luck.)
