Read more at: www.scambook.com Today’s episode of Scambook TV is a warning about ransomware, a cyber scam that’s threatening consumers online. Ransomware is a computer virus/malware program that borrows its tactics from kidnapping; hackers seize control of your computer and demand you pay a ransom to unlock it. Recently, hackers have been targeting victims with ransomware that impersonates the FBI. Kevan describes how computer users get a message that claims to be from cybercrime@fbi.gov, informing the user that their computer has been frozen due to copyright violations. To “pay your fines” and unlock your computer, according to the scam, you must pay $200 via MoneyPak. As Kevan says in the video, this scam may look very official but don’t fall for it! We recommend disconnecting your internet, running your antivirus software and (if necessary) restoring your operating system. What’s worse than a virus that cripples your computer? A virus that cripples your computer and blackmails you. That’s what ransomware does. The latest ransomware to threaten consumers also impersonates the FBI. Here at Scambook, we’ve received over 50 complaints about hackers posing as cybercrime@fbi.gov and exhorting consumers for $200 paid via MoneyPak. How CyberCrime@FBI.gov Ransomware Works Here’s how this fraud scheme works. Hackers infect your computer with the malware virus and then a pop-up window appears and freezes your computer. The message claims to be sent by cybercrime@fbi.gov. It …

This call occurred at half eleven at night, at my home telephone number, a few days after the March protest against the cult of Scientology. *THE BEEPING IS FROM HIS END* – Its annoying, and there is nothing that I could do about it. Prior to this person speaking, there were a couple of silent telephone calls (where I could hear his hands rustling over the mouthpiece). He admitted earlier in the call (prior to me recording it) that he made those calls, but put the silence down to ‘network problems’… I had had similar silent calls that week. I’ve been debating whether to upload this video or not, but after my discussion with him a couple of days ago, either he is going to leave or not. Its up to him. He has the information, I’ve planted the seeds and it is up to him to make the first move. He will not speak to me any more. I believe he was ordered by the org to phone me up to dig some dirt about the medicinal cannabis org I started (although I am having little to do with the running of it lately). I gave him that information freely, then quickly switched the conversation over to Scientology. I have what appears to be multiple sclerosis, and I was not feeling well at all that day (post protest relapse) – so apologies for any factual errors or spoken mistakes. I was totally unprepared (as always)… 🙂 I have protected the names of everyone involved, although the org do know that he phoned me. Please [name removed]… you are an intelligent guy, and you have a good heart …

CLICK HERE:: www.peoplestring.com To make money with any home business, people must overcome two marketing problems. And conventional business marketing advice gets it wrong! Especially in this age of social network marketing. Whether you have an online home based business or are looking for home business ideas you are doomed to fail if you don’t understand these two important obstacles. Even the supposedly best home based business typically has an owner who has neither the money to successfully advertise nor the ability to sell face to face, on the phone, or via emails. If you can’t find customers, you fail! And one of the biggest lies ever is “If you have a website they will come.” Unless you can “fix” those two issues, the home based business ideas you may run across, any home business opportunity, any internet home business will be a waste of your time and money. This video review briefly explains this more, adapts accepted marketing principles to these two killer problems and then critically applies them to PeopleString. And just who am I anyway? Tenured college professor; applied my expertise in the corporate world ending up as VP of Strategic Marketing; successful in my own consulting practice; FAILED at affiliate marketing and then changed what I did and turned it around.
