It is getting worse it is often a crime but why can we not stop it?
News that mobile phone spam can cost just to delete it is the last straw.
My Email is mine, my home my work address has been mine for years, so the spam follows me.
Pure filth fraud, just rubbish and about 100 a day.
My mobile too is mine, I just do not want to hear advertising for anything, why should we have to?
Newspaper make good money out of filling with colored advertising ,some actually like it, what if you do not want it?
Spam phishing, fraud , has stopped me buying online, forever.
Yes I know about a credit card with just enough money to pay my bill but why risk it?
Some of the spam comes in the name of international firms , how could they treat costumers so badly?

you havnt seen nuthin yet..murdoch...who got rich off free to air and exclusive franchise...now seems peeved were exchanging info for free...thus finishing that enron began...further restricting our acces to know...now even basic news...and an ever slower inter net

but i posted the detail on another topic

anyhow we havnt seen the whole truth emerge yet..and thats because our leaders fawn over these exclusive free air/access abusers,..because they can..and do abuse their gifts..

[stolen exclusivly from the people]..globally 4 multinational's control all the media/movies/print/news...and their production/distribution/acces...price/content/what we can be allowable to know

time to make those getting free carbion credit...free air...as well as those getting free water ,special/exclusive franchise/licence ,..free rights to poliute our waters/airs ...free acces to bleed us dry and mislead us..even spam us

enough of this free lunch..to the rich...enough of this user pays...but..poluter polutes for free.yet expects us to pay/subsidise everything ..they got for nix..[free]...

lets make capitalism clean..let it stand or fall..without govt largess...without govt subdsidy..without tax payers underwriting their gross gains..or more specificlly their gross losses..thats socialism/communiism/fraud...not capitaism

...murdoch wants blood...lets taste his first
how well he prepared us for the consumer/boom...but not the collapse/bailout..or workers rights

how much these control freaks want/need...to feel better about stealing every penny..every credit...and having firm control over our leaders minds...who watch the same free to air we do..but likely get free foxtel/free news papers...free magazines...that we pay for

what rupert has done to reporting..is treason...lock the criminal in jail...and those leaders who fawn over them..and their minions who defend them/offending themselves

that phone scam is criminal...no good news ever arrives in email..its such a clever psyop...spam only works cause they built in backdoor acces..to shut us down at their whim...to create consumers who are ever buying new computers..because we opend one letter[or link..too many

The National Cyber Security Alliance has some tips to help protect you and your family:

*..Always know who you are dealing with online...Do not open unsolicited e-mails or go to Web sites that look “off.”>>too/good to be true..<<..One Defense Department official suggested checking the domain identifier.

“Some shady sites use the name of actual sites,..but..[with a] different identifier – a dot-com..rather than a dot.gov,”.;.the official said.

* Keep Web browsers and operating systems up to date.

* Back up important files to CDs,..thumb drives or external hard drives at least once a month.

* Protect your children online...The media are full of stories about predators who haunt the Internet.>>so we self-censor..<<In addition, some sites are inappropriate for..'children'../you..to view....Officials recommend using parental controls.

*..Use security software tools as your first line of defense.. Many companies specialize in cyber security software,..officials said,>>>they promote solutions/to their own..problems..<<and people should buy one..and keep it up to date....lol

One hopeful development..in the research world,..they..added,..is that researchers writing new software..often do that with security/income..in mind....lol

*..Use strong passwords or strong authentication technology to help protect personal information...Even after much emphasis over the years on security, the most common password still is “password.”

Most officials recommend passwords..with combinations of numbers,..capital and lowercase letters and special characters.

Other verification procedures include fingerprints and retina scans, though they can be expensive.

And though it should go without saying,..don’t write down your password or put it..on a note next to your computer.

Learn what to do if something goes wrong...Even if you are careful, your computer could be compromised...What now?

One answer is to call..the company that makes your security software,..>>..insecure..<<..or the place you bought the computer...Or you can call..one of the myriad groups that trouble/shoot computers.

Keep the phone numbers for your security software’s manufacturer and the place where you bought your computer somewhere safe...They don’t do any good sitting on your C drive if something goes wrong

but as long as the programers program backdoor access...others will use this accesability to hurt us

I think it is a bit deeper than that OUG if business has to lie to sell its products we are in trouble.
And why can governments not truly make do not call registers work?
On line spam threatens us all not just the unwanted advertising but the threats contained in spam.
While mail box spam is unread and in the waste side of bin in seconds it annoys many.
Now is the phone one an urban myth? it may well be so many idiotic ideas are in fashion but untrue.
Any call not invited to sell or request donations is dumped quickly here.

<< My Email is mine, my home my work address has been mine for years, so the spam follows me. Pure filth fraud, just rubbish and about 100 a day. >>

I very rarely receive spam emails, Belly, so it's not a problem for everyone. I have nothing in the way of security, apart from fairly standard Norton Anti-virus protection, but there are probably a few factors that help me stay clear of spam.

I don't visit commercial sites a great deal and certainly none of the dodgy variety if I can avoid them. My home computer is not connected to my workplace in any way, so I don't have that to contend with. And the other thing that helps I think is that the kids have left home, so I don't have the problem of them inadvertently initiating spam.

Bronwyn I do not think I invite spam.
In fact in other threads have advised people to be very careful.
My office fax gets ten times more unwanted adds than work related stuff.
I do not visit commercial sites full stop.
Yes I get joke e mails from Friends, a problem for sure.
So many send them on without removing dozens of addresses.
An invitation to be spammed or transfer it to your Friends.
I have the best protection, update at least daily.
But get spammed.
You have been very lucky but not every one is.
And with none of the above spammers get lists and use them, often, twice now ,from your service provider and every one is spammed.
Never make it a challenge to them or you will suffer.
Bottom line apart from the idiots who get a thrill from vandalism online why do so few spammers end up in prison?

The phone companies are doing the ripping off buddy.

Phantom txts, blank voice box messages, having TO PAY to retrieve, etc etc it's a total scam and we're WAY over paying for pathetic service and coverage.

Bit surprised we did not hit the ground running on this one.
Along with security on the web it is becoming a real story we one day will hear much more of.
In my mad dash at work this past few weeks from north to south then back again one story after another has been on radio about damage done to the unwary on the net.
St G yes so it is true? well 12 months ago insulted at the land line providers service I left the so called Australian telco forever.
Installed a radio hone, about the same monthly costs as wire.
Had to buy a phone, but worth it it is far better than any rented on.
BUT 12 months contract and can not get out of it.
It does not work here.
Hills plenty of them, repeaters are too few and too far away, and behind hills.
So in two months my home phone will be a mobile top up $30 every three months.
same brand as my family free calls to them.
Work calls on work phone and few on my home mobile.
Satellite for this as lines here do well to carry phone and not even that after rain, all just 128 klm from a big City?
