Reyes Ramirez: It must sound creepy, but I saw you from a distance studying some papers. What are you studying?
Binu Varghese: It’s for a computer class and today my class is actually starting. The class is only a month long so I have to be prepared for the exams.
Ramirez: What’s the class?
Varghese: Data security. It’s stuff like encryptions and codes.
Ramirez: Do you like it?
Varghese: It’s a nice class because it covers important issues like Internet security and fraud.
Ramirez: Have you ever been a victim of security fraud?
Varghese: Actually, ten years back I got a fraud letter in India from the states from a guy offering me to invest money into his business. He said how I would get millions of dollars directly into my bank account.
Ramirez: I’m sure it sounded pretty awesome at the time. How did you figure out it was a scam?
Varghese: I talked to some of my friends about it and they got the same e-mails. We then figured out from there that it was a fraud.
Ramirez: So by taking this data security class, do you want to catch that guy and receive some sort of redemption for all those he has wronged?
Varghese: I can’t get all the money frauds have stolen back, but I can be more cautious and careful about stuff like that now.
Ramirez: What are you doing after this little interview?
Varghese: I’m going to class at (4p.m.). It’s been a long day. I’ve been working with others since 10 a.m. to now which is around 2:30 p.m.
Ramirez: So this is actually supposed to be your rest and yet you’re studying?
Varghese: Well, I also like watching the squirrels. They’re funny and cute little animals. Overall, it’s just a nice animal.
Ramirez: Well I’m going to leave you alone now. Have fun watching squirrels and busting frauds.
Varghese: Sure thing. Thanks a lot.
