The first of the slides are actual surveillance photos taken by the camera at the ATM machine, the others are police photos showing how the scam was accomplished. The PowerPoint slide show was prepared and distributed by the RCMP and is the real thing. Please pass it on to those who you think might fall for this ATM scam - the most popular targets are, of course, seniors. Watch Slide Show (Requires some download time) |

According to a survey conducted by ISP Earthlink and Webroot Software, an average of 28 spyware programs are installed on any given computer. What Is Spyware? Spyware is software that tracks your internet use and can capture what you type. Spyware applications are bundled in freeware or shareware programs which are downloaded from the internet. Spyware is "hidden" in these programs and once installed on your computer, Spyware can gather info about email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, credit card numbers, etc. The majority of freeware and shareware programs do not come with Spyware, but it is a good idea to have a good Firewall on your computer system, one that detects software with potential threats. Identity Theft will most likely grow even faster during 2005 Spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, phishing, and other spam are all used to commit Identity Theft. One growing problem is keystroke loggers, also called keyloggers. A keystroke logger is a hardware device or software program that monitors each keystroke a user types on the keyboard. This information can then easily be transmitted to a scammer, who then has access to user names, passwords, and other confidential information. The keyloggers are installed on personal computers via hardware or software. Software keyloggers are installed via viruses, worms, trojans, and Spyware. Hardware keyloggers can be installed in ATM machines, on gas pumps, etc. collecting credit card and bank info, as well as passwords and PIN numbers. Different Identity Theft schemes will grow more sophisticated in 2005. Plus, personal information stolen via phishing and other types of scams will spread even faster via sophisticated international hacker networks. Now that you know of these growing dangers, please remember that if you don't ever respond to spam, most of your online experience will be safe. |
Work At Home Schemes
Research the company and always check them out with the
Better Business Bureau (BBB) located in their city.
Read the Work At Home Schemes.
Medical Billing -This job typically goes like this - you see an ad in
the newspaper or on the Internet for a Medical Billing job. After
applying, they then ask you to invest anywhere from
$50. - $500.00 for Medical Billing software, manuals and
equipment to start your own Medical Billing company. While
Medical Billing and Medical Transcription work at home jobs are
on the rise, they do not charge a fee to start. If you are interested
in pursuing this type of career, there are many accredited schools
that will train you for this type of position!
See Jobs at Womens Work Station for honest legitimate
Medical Billing training.
If you are unsure about a company, get specific information (in
writing) from the company such as number of years they have
been in business, where they are located (not just a P.O. Box or
email address), number of customers they have, what their
refund policy is (read it thoroughly), pay policies and if there are
any restrictions on payments, etc. Also, make sure to read any
"fine print" on any forms or contracts. Usually, I find, that a totally
legit company or small business will have all of that info posted
on their website, with references, because they are aware of all
the scam artists out there, and they want to maintain a level of
credibility with their website visitors.
If you do invest in a business opportunity, use your credit card
instead of cash. At least you have a record with your credit card
company. Getting your money back is easier this way - can't trace
cash.
Research current scams on web sites such as ScamBusters
Visit The National Fraud Information Center website for
information.
Report any scams or fraudulent companies to the
Federal Trade Commission
Don't invest in any opportunity that you are not sure about. Find an
opportunity that you enjoy, or start your own home business.
Usually, when you enjoy doing something, you excel in that area -
the money will follow.
If you LOVE what you do, and aren't doing it JUST for the money,
you won't have to "work" a day in your life!!
