Ray Campbell Email & Phone Number

Washington Dc-Baltimore Area

As a United States Postal Inspector, I conduct complex criminal investigations into financial crimes, as all frauds involve some use of US Mail. The schemes routinely investigated are high-interest investments, forex/trading, crypto-currency, Ponzi schemes, embezzlement, account takeovers (ATOs), market manipulation, insider-trading, and advance payment telemarketing schemes targeting senior citizens. Advance payment scams (in which you are asked to pay for some future bigger financial return) most often include romance, lottery, overdue taxes, tech support and the newest "pig-butchering," and purposely target seniors. I work closely with other federal and state law enforcement agencies and participate in several anti-fraud working groups in the DC Metro Area. All cases are presented and prosecuted by local US Attorney’s Offices or by the Department of Justice’s Fraud Section, Public Integrity Section or Consumer Protection Section. As a senior fraud investigator, I conduct outreach and publicly present for a number of organizations in the DC Metro Area, including the AARP, state and federal agencies, assisted living homes and other anti-fraud organizations. The purpose of my presentation is to prevent future fraud, by sharing current fraud trends, educating the public in identifying the red flags of scammer, and exposing both the pressure techniques and advance technology used by today's fraudsters.

Special Agents with the Inspector General's Office of the Department of Education (DoED) investigate federal violations such as bribery, program fraud, computer related crimes, conflicts of interest, FCPA, and any fraud related to student loans, charter schools and other federal education programs. During my early time at DoED, I trained and obtained a number of forensic certifications in both network, computer, and mobile device forensics. My position was not limited by any local jurisdiction, I worked cases throughout the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, and Guam. Many of my investigations included the unauthorized use of the DoED network, including the student loan database (FAFSA), which stored sensitive financial and educational information about millions of Americans. I worked closely with federal prosecutors at DOJ’s Computer Crimes (CCIPS) and the Public Integrity Section. On a daily basis, I reviewed US-CERT Einstein reports to identify potential intrusions. I identified and obtained criminal arrests and convictions for several federal employees engaged in child pornography and exploitation. I led or worked joint investigations into a number of high-ranking SES, political appointees, and other senior managers who had engaged in serious administrative or criminal violations. In 2008, I led a proactive investigation, using new investigative tools and methods, to identify DoED managers and supervisors who were identified violating the Hatch Act during a recent election. The investigative findings of my administrative case, as well the methods used, were presented to the U.S. Office of Special Council in 2009 and later to members of the U.S. Congress in 2012.During my tenure I maintained a TS/SCI clearance and routinely accessed classified system networks. My position required I be knowledgeable of the many cyber-related threats facing federal networks and how to prevent such a system intrusion carried out by a domestic criminal or a foreign adversary.

The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), formerly known as U.S. Customs Service (Prior to 9/11), is the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security. HSI special agents conduct criminal investigations into money-laundering, cyber-crime, child pornography, illegal/counterfeit importation and illegal entry by violent criminals. My role was to investigate international money-laundering, most commonly the method for concealing the illegally gained financial proceeds of narcotic trafficking, child-exploitation and terrorism. These cases required working closely or jointly with both the DEA and FBI, as well as the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Oakland and San Francisco, California. I routinely analyzed financial records, phone records, interviewing suspects, conducting surveillance, and managing Title III phone intercepts of suspected criminals. I received specialized training to conduct online UC Operations and was frequently detailed to HSI's Cyber Crime Center, in Fairfax, VA. In 2005, I joined Operation Cornerstone and its spinoff Operation E-Cornerstone, which goal was to dismantle the money-laundering methods used by these criminals. I investigated several online businesses trading cash for virtual currencies with no questions asked, in violation of U.S. laws. The purpose was to launder or conceal the illegal cash proceeds earned by drug traffickers, child-exploiters and international and domestic terrorists.
