Latest E-mail Hoaxes

Latest e-mail hoaxes and how to avoid being scammed.

Got something phishy in your mailbox lately?

A recent survey conducted by ClearMyMail revealed that spam has increased significantly during the second quarter of 2008, the shocking numbers behind the spam e-mail threat indicate a troubling time for Internet users. The following are nine of the most prolific dangers.


Phishing

Is the process to acquire user data both criminally and fraudulently – often by masquerading as a trusted source or business. The user will unwittingly reveal financial information, memorable dates and passwords in response to a legitimate-looking e-mail or phone call. In the case of e-mail, the most telling sign of a phishing attack will be a link referencing a bogus URL.  In the past couple of years Phishers have spoofed a variety of different services – these have included online banking sites, online auctions and social networking groups.

Nigerian Money Scams
This is also known as the 419 scam (the Nigerian penal code for this type of crime). It is a confidence trick that encourages you to invest small sums of money with the promise of a larger payoff.  The e-mail is usually made to look like it was sent on behalf of a Government or an individual, who for some ridiculous reason are sitting on a vast sum of money. These scammers are an imaginative bunch, the stories range from rich foreign-nationals killed in plane crashes to corrupt government officials who have embezzled funds. If you agree to assist in retrieving the funds you are promised a share of the haul, which is jolly nice of them – isn't it?

Lottery Scams
Everybody dreams of winning big at least once in their life – millions of pounds are spent each year in the search for that elusive golden ticket. But what happens when you receive an e-mail claiming you're a winner when you haven't spent a penny? Lottery tricks are on the rise - but as long as you remember a few simple facts you can win too.

Like a lot of these scams the sender's identity will always be assumed or false - they might pretend to be a  representative of a global lottery organisation, or,  a recent trend is to imitate a big company like Microsoft. This is done in the hope of gaining your trust and to appear credible, but don't be fooled, the lure of the prize fund is merely a hook. The aim of the scam is the extraction of your personal information and you will never see a penny of the alleged prize-fund.

Withdrawal of 'free services'
This is a particularly popular e-mail trick. How often have you received "[Company Name] is withdrawing their free service". A list of popular products that have knowingly been targeted by such poisonous e-mails have included Hotmail, Messenger, Facebook, Myspace and Yahoo. And while such messages are designed to fool the user, the overriding aim is to tarnish the reputation of the service provider. The notice was once circulated to Hotmail users, and it is of course totally bogus.

"You must send this message to X number of friends to keep the service free!" This particular e-mail is engineered to cause panic among users. It is probably wise to point out that many services require you to log on once in every 90 days to ensure your account is not marked for deletion.

E-mail Petitions
I must admit that I am guilty of participating in the odd petition. But while their interference and damage is minimal they must also be included in our list of offenders. Signing and circulating such a petition fails to influence the higher powers or benefit the greater good. It would be lovely to make a real change with little effort but sadly this is the stuff of fantasy. As such the major short-coming of the e-petition is the lack of paper and ink it is written on – and in the eyes of many, this electronic version carries little substance.

Chain Mail
Not the stuff of knights and horses but those annoying e-mails that we love to forward on. By participating in such practices we are helping the spread of misinformation. These chains are often disguised with helpful warnings against a made-up danger or offer to reveal "your secret crush" if you press a combination of keys on your keyboard. Chains are becoming increasingly popular on social networking websites.

Virus Warning
The warning conceals an empty threat; a cleverly crafted virus hoax is almost as damaging as the real deal. Frightened individuals forward this very warning to family members, colleagues and friends alike. The fallout causes chaos and often brings mail servers to their knees. The effect can sometimes stretch even further and lead to some users becoming blasé about some threats - thereby ignoring all future virus warning messages. The bottom line is, don't rely on e-mails to tell you about the latest threats. Instead, invest in some decent virus protection and routinely scan for dangers.

Sympathy Scams
Even the most sensitive of subject matter cannot escape the pranksters reach. Whether it be September 11 and an e-mail advertising the last photo from the World Trade Center deck, or the plea to help find a missing child. Such attempts pray upon our empathy and take advantage of our good nature. Such examples promise to extend your support when you forward the message on to others, but obviously you know better than that?

Social Network Scams
Unsurprisingly hoaxers have now begun turning their attention to social networking websites and such attacks are on the rise. One of the more notorious threats is a worm that goes by the moniker 'Koobface'. This has been known to attack users of Facebook and other social networks by posting comments on your profile (posing as one of your friends). These comments will contain veiled links to external websites that in turn compromise your security. My advice would be to delete any suspicious messages and ask questions later! Always be on your guard, these days you can never be too careful.

X-Factor Video Reveals Facebook Secret


Just imagine...

You've heard about the blogging phenomena making
the rounds lately.

And you've even though about setting up your own
blog.

But perhaps the biggest question you've had so
far is:

"What on earth shall I blog about?"

But don't worry, you're not alone.

And there's some good news for you as well...

Not many people know what they want to blog about
when they're just getting started.

And that's why Yaro Starak and Gideon Shalwick
have just created a special X-Factor Strategy video
that shows you how...

If you're in any doubt as to what you should be
blogging about, this X-Factor strategy video will
get you off to a great start.

The video is an elaboration of one of the X-Factor
strategies inside Yaro and Gideon's report - The
Roadmap To Become A Blogger, which has already
been downloaded 8,789 times in the last week!

It looks at a little-known feature of the social
media giant Facebook, and shows you how to use it
to your advantage and uncover multiple exploitable
niche areas.

You can watch the whole video, without paying a
cent or even giving away your details, over here:

http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=Forbes500&pid=3&u=http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/1019/xfactor-facebook/

Just go ahead and watch the video...

It really wont cost you a thing, and it even comes
with a full transcript that you can print out and
follow along while you watch the video.

It's a no-brainer - just go and watch it now:

http://www.becomeablogger.com/go.php?offer=Forbes500&pid=3&u=http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/1019/xfactor-facebook/

If nothing else, you'll get to know how to make
friends with people from all over the world at the
click of a button. And that could be very handy
when you're doing research for your new blog
project.
 
 
To your success & have a great holiday!

How To Get Social Bookmarking Traffic!


There is a staggering number of people who are visiting Web 2.0 sites everyday. In other words, there is a phenomenal amount of free traffic that you can redirect into your website day and night by submitting links to your articles.
 
What Are Social Bookmarking Websites?
 
They are web based applications that allows us to store our bookmarks online instead of on our browser or computer. Whenever you bookmark a web page, you are posting it on the Internet for everyone to view.
 
Social bookmarks are an increasingly popular way to classify, locate, share and rank news, stories and articles on the Internet through tagging. Social bookmarking websites like Digg (http://www.Digg.com) and Stumble Upon (http://www.StumbleUpon.com) have risen in popularity very quickly and it's a secret that experienced marketers use to push their webpage up in the ranks of the major search engines.
 
Digg It. The One Social Bookmarking Site You Must Use.
 
Digg is a mega popular social website that you should use right away. At the point of writing, it has an Alexa rank of 116, meaning that it is the 116th most visited website in the world, according to Alexa's traffic tracking service. The more "diggs" or votes you have, the higher your ranking. I have broken down into simple steps for you to start submitting your links to Digg.com.
 
1.Go to http://www.digg.com and sign up for an account
2.Submit the link to your website or blog where the story is at. Be aware that you do not upload your articles to Digg. It just bookmarks your article for people to visit, comment and rate.
3.Choose your media, whether are you submitting an article, video or image.
4.Give your story a catchy headline and description to entice people to read it, and also a nice picture to go along with the article.
5.Choose a topic of your article according list shown, type in the visual password and press "Submit Story"
 
You can also comment on other people's post that are in the front page, but make intelligent remarks that are relevant to their interest. In this way, you will attract other commentors and visitors to come and have a look at your site. 

Step by Step Action Plan To Submitting To Other Social Bookmarking Websites.

There are many smaller social bookmarking websites that can also drive you loads of traffic. But it would be extremely tiring to go through all of them 1 by 1. At Onlywire.com, you can submit to 22 other popular social bookmarking sites simultaneously. Here's how you do it…

1.Go to http://www.onlywire.com and create an account.
2.Register with all the other social bookmarking sites that can be used with onlywire.com
3.Input your username and password of your other accounts into onlywire.com
4.Drag the Onlywire bookmark link "savepage" onto your toolbar
5.Go to the webpage where publish your article and click on the "savepage" button
6.Insert your website title, description and relevant tags or keywords about your article.
7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 for every new page that you have.

 

To Your Success!

Join and support STOP GLOBAL WARMING

Join and support the StopGlobalWarming.Org, and become part of the movement to demand our leaders freeze and reduce carbon dioxide emissions now.

This is a movement about change, as individuals, as a country, and as a global community.


Take Action!

The Law of Attraction doesn’t work for me!!

Have you ever felt that way?

Have you ever wondered why the Law seems to be working for other people except you?

Well, let me tell you there was a point in time I felt exactly like that. Sometimes the Law of Attraction would work, but most of the time I could not make it work. I’m sure you know how frustrating that can be right?

Well… I’m sure you can imagine my delight when I found out that there are actually 11 Laws. That’s right. ELEVEN LAWS. Now, I’m not the expert here, and I don’t even know how to begin explaining these other laws to you.

But I’m writing to tell you that Bob Proctor and Alex Mandossian will.
http://www.the11forgottenlaws.com/teleseminar/?p=11

Yup, I just found out that Bob Proctor is doing a teleseminar with Alex Mandossian on the other crucial Laws you need to make the Law of Attraction work for you. Talk about finding a diamond in the rough! http://www.the11forgottenlaws.com/teleseminar/?p=11

You should know who Bob and Alex are. I shouldn’t need to introduce them to you.

It also goes without say that you better hurry and reserve your spot for the teleseminar now, because Bob and Alex are not charging a single cent for this valuable information, and spaces are going to fill up really quick. http://www.the11forgottenlaws.com/teleseminar/?p=11

Mark it on your calendars!

Cheers,
Pad



PS: If you haven’t had 100% success with the Law of Attraction, it’s only because you don’t have the missing pieces. Get the full picture from Bob Proctor.

PPS: If you thought The Secret was powerful… well, allow me to be bold enough to say that The Secret is going to look like a dwarf next to this! http://www.the11forgottenlaws.com/teleseminar/?p=11

GREENPEACE: Let's hope our new world leaders make the world of difference

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Amanda Briggs, Greenpeace NZ
Date: Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 9:59 AM


GREENPEACE

 

Dear Friend

Over the last week Americans and New Zealanders have voted for change in their millions. Our world suddenly looks very different doesn't it.

I'm sure, like me, you sat glued to the results of the American election as they came in, filled with hope for a new beginning. Obama's victory speech was inspiring and poignant. He said people had voted for change because they understood the enormity of the task ahead: "Even as we celebrate tonight we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest in our lifetime: two wars, a planet in peril and the worst financial crisis in a century."

It's easy to be cynical, to think nothing will really change but surely if there was ever time for great hope this is it. For the first time in history the US has elected an African American president and he has acknowledged the planet is in peril - how amazing is that?!

The next year and a bit are absolutely crucial for our planet so we need strong courageous leaders who will do what it takes to ensure our future.

Here in New Zealand we have our own new leader. I didn't personally vote for National, but frankly, the one thing we need right now is strong leadership on climate change from all political parties, especially the one elected to lead our country.

I was quite taken by something John Key said on Campbell Live. He said that now he was Prime Minister he didn't just represent those people who voted for him - he had to represent the whole nation. This got me thinking, how does he know how I need to be represented? So I've sent John a very personal message about my hopes for the future and the important role his leadership will play in it.

Me on youtubeI got my husband to film me talking to John Key and I've uploaded it to YouTube as a response to his victory speech. I hope I can give John something to live up to.

I live in John Key's electorate and he once told me that he didn't think New Zealanders were really concerned about climate change. I don't believe this and I think we need to set him right.

Please record and upload your own video message asking John Key to be a strong leader on climate change.

If you can't organise a video then send John a quick personal message to let him know your concerns about climate change, and outline your hopes for the future of our planet. It doesn't need to be professional (mine certainly isn't!) and even an email would do as long as what you says comes from the heart.

Can we solve climate change? "Yes we Can!"

Good luck!

Amanda Briggs-Hastie
Supporter Relations and Proud Auntie.

John Key on Youtube

DEAR JOHN

Step 1. Record your message to John Key about climate change leadership with a web camera, video camera or mobile phone.

Step 2. Upload it as a response to his victory speech and add the tag 'dearjohnkey' .

President-elect Barack Obama's victory speech: Full text

---------- Forwarded message ----------


Full text of the victory speech delivered by Barack Obama in Chicago:

 
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.

It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.


I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you – we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House – a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

For that is the true genius of America – that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

FROM THE DESK OF Mr IBRAHIM MUSA
BILLS AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
Email ibrahimmusa0612@yahoo.fr
Dear Friend, 
                       CONFIDENTIAL
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met before, but you need not to worry as I am using the only secured and confidential medium available to seek for your
foreign assistance in a business.
I am contacting you independently of my investigation and no one is informed of this communication.My name is Mr.IBRAHIM MUSA I am the bill and exchange manager in Bank Africa I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our Bank who perished along with his next of kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801 with the
whole passengers on 6th of augustus 1997
and for your perusal you can view this site
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$8.3M (Eight Million Three Hundred Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very longtime.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of Kin since nobody is coming for the fund again. The Banking ethics here
does not allow such money to stay more than 11 years, because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through the internet when I was making a research for a foreigner that I will use in this great opportunity because I dont want the money to be
recalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed fund.I am offering you 40% of the total sum if you agree to execute  this transaction with me and the rest 60% will be for me.The reason for a foreigner in the business is for the fact that the deceased man was a foreigner and it is not authorized by the law guiding our Bank for a citizen of this country to
make such claim.
This is the reason while the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the release and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable
Bank account.If you are really sure of your integerity, trustworthy and confidentiality, and accept not to cheat or disappoint me after this business, reply with your telephone and fax numbers and Banking account details where you wish to receive the fund.
Upon receipt of the above mentioned informations,indicating your interest in the business,I will draft and send to you by fax or e-mail a letter of application which you will re-copy and send back to our Foreign Remittance Department in our Bank, for easy execution of the
transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and dont have any negative implication .Please you should not entertain any fear as I have made all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund to your account.
This transaction will be completed within 14 Bank working days immediately we start the business.Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction
would be ost profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country immediately after the transaction.
Waiting for your urgent response and please kindly, reply me to this Email address ibrahimmusa0612@yahoo.fr
delete if you are not interested.Regards,
Best Regard
IBRAHIM MUSA

The answer to a bad economy!

We all know things are rough right now. 

The economy is struggling and many people are fearful they might lose their jobs.

So what can you do to guard yourself and your family in times of financial crisis?

The answer is right under your nose!

The Internet offers opportunity for absolutely anyone who is willing to seize it and build their own online business!

When I want to learn something, I look for people who have gone before me and achieved the kind of success I desire.

Joel Comm is one of those people.

In the 14 years that Joel has done business online, he's made millions of dollars.  He sold a site to Yahoo!, wrote dozens of books and reports (including a New York Times Best seller), produced a reality show and build tons of profitable sites.

Now, Joel is inviting a select number of people to join him in Colorado for a one-of-a-kind three-day event unlike any other.

It's called "Elevate 2008", and it is a chance for anyone who wants to build a successful business online to learn from Joel Comm and his team of experts in a hands-on atmosphere.

Honestly, this is an incredible opportunity...

BUT...

Joel has informed me that there are fewer than ten (10) seats left for this event!  It truly is first-come, first-serve, so I hope you receive
this email in time and are able to take action.

And check this out...

Joel is offering this seminar at a fraction of his regular coaching fees.

AND, he is even going to cover the hotel costs for his guests!

If you know that you need to take steps to become financially independent and live your dreams, don't pass this by.

Visit the Elevate 2008 website right away and reserve your seat for Joel Comm's Live Seminar!

https://infomedia.infusionsoft.com/go/esem/a697159

To your success!!!

Paddy'


P.S.  - I expect these remaining seats to fill up fast.  I apologize if I didn't get this email to you fast enough.
