Complete Question: Laura picks up her phone one evening to find that the Microsoft help desk was calling. She had been having trouble with a slow running computer but hadn't yet contacted Microsoft to get help for the problem. She was so pleased to hear that they found her IP address online and found malware on her computer and they were calling all of their clients to remove it. Laura has previously been a victim of a phishing scheme so she was prepared not to give any information to the help desk just incase they weren't legitimate but they didn't ask for her credit card information or Social security number. She figured they were going to help.

The Microsoft Help desk has asked Laura to go to a website and verify her information she they can help fix her computer. She sees all of her information on that web page and she doesn’t have to give them any information. What type of crime has Laura become a victim of?

ANSWER; Laura has previously been a victim of Phishing scam.

A phishing scam is a fraudulent activity that involves keeping a false website or sending a false e-mail with the intent of masquerading as a trustworthy entity in order to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.

Seeing all the details in the website made Laura remember her previous experience which was a phishing scam.

How did african american settlers traveling westward respond to the racism they faced from white settlers? group of answer choic
Nezavi [6.7K]

African American settlers traveling westward responded to the racism they faced from white settlers by protesting and starting a cultural renaissance.

Over six million African Americans moved out of the rural Southern United States and migrated to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West in what is called the Great Migration (1910-1970).

The reasons included the poor economic conditions of African Americans in the Southern states, the continuation of racial segregation and discrimination there including the widespread lynchings of blacks.

These migrants settled in the largest cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, forming influential communities in these places.

Due to these large-scale migrations, competition for jobs and housing rose, and this caused tensions with the white settlers there. White workers in various factories demanded segregation in the workplace, which erupted in violence.

African American settlers responded through labor activism and protests, and most significantly it led to the Harlem Renaissance in the 1940s, which was an African-American cultural revolution.

Which of the confederate states were west of the mississippi river​
dimulka [17.4K]
The Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War consists of the major military operations west of the Mississippi River. The area is often thought of as excluding the states and territories bordering the Pacific Ocean, which formed the Pacific Coast Theater of the American Civil War (1861–1865).


Map of Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War, featuring only the major battles
The campaign classification established by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior[1] is more fine-grained than the one used in this article. Some minor NPS campaigns have been omitted and some have been combined into larger categories. Only a few of the 75 major battles the NPS classifies for this theater are described. Boxed text in the right margin show the NPS campaigns associated with each section.

Activity in this theater in 1861 was dominated largely by the dispute over the status of the border state of Missouri. The Missouri State Guard, allied with the Confederacy, won important victories at the Battle of Wilson's Creek and the First Battle of Lexington. However, they were driven back at the First Battle of Springfield. A Union army under Samuel Ryan Curtis defeated the Confederate forces at the Battle of Pea Ridge in northwest Arkansas in March 1862, solidifying Union control over most of Missouri. The areas of Missouri, Kansas, and the Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) were marked by extensive guerrilla activity throughout the rest of the war, the most well-known incident being the infamous Lawrence massacre in the Unionist town of Lawrence, Kansas of August 1863.
