Email Scams: Stop Identity Theft from Phishing Scams


A Phishing Scam is one of many email scams that appears to be a legitimate request for a financial information update based on your accounts with an institution. The first time I got one of these was from my bank. I was instantly suspicious. When I clicked on the link, it took me to a web site to update my financial information, but when I looked at the URL, I spotted two problems, first it didn't have https (the "s" stands for "secure") in the URL and the URL was for a site that had nothing to do with the bank I use. I immediately contacted my bank and let them know about the scam. Within a couple of days, they put an advisory on their web site for their customers.

Note: Even the "s" isn't necessarily foolproof. Some scammers forge these icons.

So what happened here? First off, reputable businesses won't make such requests by email. Secondly, phishers will take you a fake or "spoofed" web site. A "spoofed" web site is one where the scammer has copied a legitimate web site as "proof" to fool would-be victims.

Here are some examples of common scams, the Nigerian Scam, email 419, fbi scams, security scams, lottery email scam, etc. All of which lead to identity theft and or bank fraud.

Here's how to avoid the scam:

· Never respond to an email, text or pop-up message that asks for your financial information.

· Don't click on any of the links in the message.

· Don't cut and paste the URL into your browser, either. You might get redirected without your knowledge.

· If in doubt, type in the URL directly or contact your financial institution by phone.

· Don't call the phone numbers in the message. Only use the numbers that have been given to you by your financial institution.

· Read the privacy policies of the companies you deal with to see how they handle your personal information and how they protect that information.

Email Scams are one of the most common (and dangerous) forms of fraud online.

NOTHING? -- Laurence Green: "When everything becomes digital, then nothing is - As technology reaches saturation point, marketing companies are already looking to the 'post-digital' era. Imagine a world where billboards recognize your face and serve up some precisely targeted advertising for you as you approach." SOURCE: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/7920417/When-everything-becomes-digital-then-nothing-is.html
TAKEAWAY: And throw into the prediction the famous quote by Andy Grove, Former CEO of Intel Corporation, “All things technology evolve the same way. They become smaller, sleeker, better designed, more portable and carry more information.”

How Do I Speed Up My Computer?


Your computer is a complex machine made up of both electronic and mechanical parts. Many novices to computers think that once they've bought a computer that it should work consistently thereafter.

The reality is this: You could have the best hardware in the world and have a computer that runs so slowly as to be next to worthless.

The number one determining factor (hardware issues and failures aside) that will slow your computer down is: "YOU!!!"

Have I shocked you ?

Good!!

Let me put this into perspective. A case in point was a computer I was asked to look at recently. The user was really frustrated. He was thinking of chucking the laptop out a window because it was so slow. Granted, it was an old computer, but what really got my attention was what happened when the machine booted up (which took a long time).

He had 6 different anti-spyware programs all in competition with each other, about 5 different registry editors and numerous browser toolbars.

I was flabbergasted!!

I told him I was amazed his machine would even boot up at all. Cleaning it out was even worse. Some of the programs fought me (with threats of dire consequences to the integrity of his machine) as I tried to remove them. It was a real mess, but over time, it got better and the computer sped up considerably.

The whole point of this story is this: "If you have poor software habits, such as downloading tons of files on the Internet or every program your friends give to you, you're likely to overload your system and it won't be long before your computer will begin to slow down again."

To elaborate, let's use the analogy of a new car. If you buy it with all the bells and whistles, such as air conditioning, power everything, etc. and you don’t maintain it, it will begin to perform poorly. One such impact will be high gas consumption.

Conversely, if you buy a car that only has what you need, a leaner version of the same vehicle and you do regular maintenance, this will tend to reduce your gas consumption.

It's a similar thing with your computer. If you get the best hardware but you overload your system with unnecessary programs and clog up your hard drive, your system will begin to slow down.

It's that simple. The solution is to run a lean machine and only install what's necessary for your business or hobby.
A new machine or upgrades will give you a faster machine, but its long term performance will largely be determined by your computing habits.

I would need 10 minutes of your time and I'll show you how to speed up your computer, rid yourself of viruses and protect yourself online.
