Cyber security Tips

Setting up your business on the Internet can be a lucrative way to attract customers, expand your market and increase sales. However, it is your duty to check and learn the rules and regulations, areas of privacy, security, copyright, and taxation that come with doing business on line.

Webmasters who are now on the web work overtime, researching, and building trust, which enables them to sell on the Internet. They know success does not come overnight. They have to work hard, be persistent, teachable, research. They have to make the effort and a little bit of cash helps.

If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.

eBay

You should also consider selling via eBay. Thousands of persons are making a good living today selling on eBay. They give you a lot of support with free information, tools and resources. Really a great way to start on the Internet part-time, as you have control on the hours you want to spend to make it work.

What I like about eBay is you can start by selling articles, products you have around your home, which you no longer have use for. The products you sell do not have to be new, but should be in good condition

INTERNET INFORMATION

PUBLIC DOMAIN

Many persons make a living by selling books, information that are in the Public Domain.

There are many books, movies, newspapers that are in Public Domain. These are no longer cover by copyright and can be used by anyone, fully, or changed to suit the new author.

For example every issue of any magazine, which copyright was not renewed in the U.S.A. between the years of 1923, 1964, becomes Public Domain. Records show only about 1,500 ever renewed their copyrights. Every issue of any magazine whose copyright was not renewed in the 28th year of first publication is now Public Domain.

It may be noted that in the U.S.A. I believe all newsletters, information flyers, plus other material produced by the Government can be copied. In Canada Government works are copyright by the Government and can't be copied.

SCAMS

The Internet is growing in sophistication, from two dozen nations taking an "aggressive interest" in stealing our secrets to new virtual gangs pooling their talents to launch coordinated attacks and crimes.

There are partnerships that are emerging, often globally-to turn back the rising tide of cyber crime. One of our partners is the Department of Homeland Security, which has declared October its fifth annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month, to help "educate the public on the shared responsibility of protecting cyberspace."

You can make a difference-and help protect your own systems at home and at the office-by taking these basic steps:

Change your security passwords regularly.

Have a firewall in place on your computer.

Get the latest anti-virus software.

Install current security patches for your computers operating system.

Can you avoid getting caught by a scam artist working the web? Not always. But prudence pays. The FTC offers these tips to help you avoid getting caught.

Read the fine print and all relevant links. Fraudulent promoters sometimes bury the disclosures they're not anxious to share by putting them in teeny-tiny type or in a place where you're unlikely to see them.

Look for a privacy policy. If you don't see one, or if you can't understand it, consider taking your business elsewhere.

Be sceptical of any company that doesn't clearly state its name, street address, and telephone number. Check it out with the local Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Office, or state Attorney General.

The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool, used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

DROP SHIPPERS

You can get products to sell via eBay or/and your website by using the services of a drop shipper. A reliable drop shipper will not ask you for a fee. They will allow you to copy pictures of the products they sell. Prices are about half you would pay for retail.

If you have a website they will allow you to move any listing on their site to yours. You set your price on the product/s you transfer. When an order comes in, place the order. They will ship it out for you under your shipping label and not include any of their material.

A good way to promote is join as an affiliate,(with a drop shipper), transfer a couple specials onto your site, with a link back to your affiliate page. The cost of setting up a web site is minimum.

Subscribe to a few free Internet Newsletters, and join some free forums. You will find these listed in Google or Yahoo search.

Forums are a great way to contribute ideas and post. Include your signature file at bottom. Great way to makes sales too.

NETWORKING

You didn't learn it at school, or at the office. Would you believe your mother?

Networking is more then shaking hands, and giving out business cards. Forget about the endless networking skills you may have learned at the office. We just have to put the few lessons mother taught us into practice. As a kid we were always in a hurry to find something better. Our mothers taught us patience.

If your in a hurry you miss the value that can be built taking time with building relations in networking. Establishing a relationship by taking time, gives you a solid framework in networking building.

Your mother worked hard as an example. This is one of the better examples in networking she gave you. That's why it is called networking, not sit work. For networking to be successful you have to work hard and put out the effort.

Remember her telling you to share your things with others? Some of our best resources are time, money, and information we are willing to give to the relationship. They appreciate us when we are willing to give to the relationship.

She always made you clean up after yourself. In networking, follow-up is required. Whether it's a promise to meet someone, or just a thank you is one of the most important lessons of networking. These life lessons we learned from mother during childhood are a solid basis's for strong networking skills.

Thank you mother for all your help.

The biggest time spend in selling, more so in mail order or on the Internet is developing a relationship with your customer and building trust. If you did a good job in the first two, closing a sale will take the smallest of your time spend with your customer.

A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

All the rooms were taken when the soldier got into town. After pleading with the desk clerk, the clerk remarked. "Well, I do have a double room with only one occupant, but to tell you the truth he snores so loudly that people in adjoining room have complained. I am not sure it would be worth it to you". "No problem." The tired army guy assured him, "I will take it'.

When he came down for breakfast the next morning the clerk asked, "How did you sleep?" "Never better", replied the soldier. The desk clerk was impressed. "No problem with the other guy snoring", the clerk asked?" "No I shut him up in no time", explained the soldier. "How did you manage that?" asked the clerk.

"Well, he was already in bed, snoring away, when I walked into the room, so I gave him a kiss on the cheek", explained the soldier". "Then, I whispered in his ear Good night beautiful, and he sat up all night watching me.

COMPUTER WARNING

The tip on unplugging your computer from the wall outlet during a thunderstorm was sound advice. And we're coming to the season when thunderstorms become more frequent. But let's take that advice one small step further. Take the time to also unplug your modem from the telephone line! Surges can also pass through the telephone lines and even a small surge of static electricity can fry the delicate circuitry in your modem.

Your Clipboard can be seen by any hacker. For your protection you should not copy passwords, credit card numbers or other sensitive information. To prevent this from happening go to: Internet Explorer: Click Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, Internet section. Go down to the Security level box, and click the Custom Level button. Scroll down to Scripting, and find the entry, "Allow Programmatic clipboard access" or "Allow paste operations via script".

Click Disable or Prompt. Click OK.

The American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning that hitman scam is back in a big way. The hacker behind it is sending out a flood of emails threatening to kill the recipient if he does not receive several thousand dollars.

This scam first popped up in December 2006, then again this last February. Some personal info is included in the emails, to make it look like the crook knows all about you.

The FBI advises that you just ignore the email. Report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

ONLINE RENTAL FRAUD

June, August, September, January are competitive months for rental suites.

There are a lot of fraudulence ads being placed free on Craigslist etc. Crooks ply on the shortage of apartments by placing ads on these sites. When someone answers they are informed owner had to go out of the country for a funeral or what ever. They had no one that they could have left the keys with so the apartment could be checked.

Now comes the kicker. If you're interested in renting the apartment, send $900.00 as damage deposit, and $1200.00 for the first month's rent and the key would be courier to them.

There is a limited supply of apartments on the market, so this is a huge target for scammers.

Don't fall for this scam. People need to do their homework, physically see the apartment, talk to the owners' and have a written contract.

WARNING, CAR JACKERS IN MALL

CST. Eric Doran #656 Chatham - Kent Police Court Services

Here's the latest tactic by car thieves.

Heads up everyone! Please keep this circulating. You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into reverse when you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space. You notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jackers appear out of nowhere, jumps into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

Men, you too are at risk. You can say good bye to your briefcase, and if your like many guys, who keep their wallet in the glove compartment, with your driver's licence, credit cards, plus.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away, remove the paper later and be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Phishing still catches millions of persons who give out their personal information, believing the e-mail they received was from a bank, PayPal, taxation branch, or some other Government

Department. Further, instead of typing in the URL supplied by the Phisher they just clink on it. Just because the URL has the proper heading doesn't mean it is going to a legit URL. In phishing they have it redirected if you click on the URL and they get your personal information.

We trust our Government to safeguard the information we give them. But did you know that the government is among the biggest sources of ID leaks and that penalties for ID theft are rarely imposed on those who are negligent.

If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.

eBay

You should also consider selling via eBay. Thousands of persons are making a good living today selling on eBay. They give you a lot of support with free information, tools and resources. Really a great way to start on the Internet part-time, as you have control on the hours you want to spend to make it work.

What I like about eBay is you can start by selling articles, products you have around your home, which you no longer have use for. The products you sell do not have to be new, but should be in good condition

Protect yourself from spoof (fake) emails and Web sites. Take the Spoof Tutorial to learn about eBay Toolbar with Account Guard, which warns you when you are on a known spoof site.

INTERNET INFORMATION

PUBLIC DOMAIN

Many persons make a living by selling books, information that are in the Public Domain.

There are many books, movies, newspapers that are in Public Domain. These are no longer cover by copyright and can be used by anyone, fully, or changed to suit the new author.

For example every issue of any magazine, which copyright was not renewed in the U.S.A. between the years of 1923, 1964, becomes Public Domain. Records show only about 1,500 ever renewed their copyrights. Every issue of any magazine whose copyright was not renewed in the 28th year of first publication is now Public Domain.

It may be noted that in the U.S.A. I believe all newsletters, information flyers, plus other material produced by the Government can be copied. In Canada Government works are copyright by the Government and can't be copied.

SCAMS

The Internet is growing in sophistication, from two dozen nations taking an "aggressive interest" in stealing our secrets to new virtual gangs pooling their talents to launch coordinated attacks and crimes.

There are partnerships that are emerging, often globally-to turn back the rising tide of cyber crime. One of our partners is the Department of Homeland Security, which has declared October its fifth annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month, to help "educate the public on the shared responsibility of protecting cyberspace."

You can make a difference-and help protect your own systems at home and at the office-by taking these basic steps:

Change your security passwords regularly.

Have a firewall in place on your computer.

Get the latest anti-virus software.

Install current security patches for your computers operating system.

Can you avoid getting caught by a scam artist working the web? Not always. But prudence pays. The FTC offers these tips to help you avoid getting caught.

Read the fine print and all relevant links. Fraudulent promoters sometimes bury the disclosures they're not anxious to share by putting them in teeny-tiny type or in a place where you're unlikely to see them.

Look for a privacy policy. If you don't see one, or if you can't understand it, consider taking your business elsewhere.

Be sceptical of any company that doesn't clearly state its name, street address, and telephone number. Check it out with the local Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Office, or state Attorney General.

The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool, used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

PayPal works hard to prevent identity theft from happening on their site. PayPal offers educational tools geared to teaching users about security theft, including a new PayPal Security code key. You can also go to my website where you will find over 3 years of Internet information in my archives.

LIGHTSIDE

Throw In The Towel

The middle-aged boxer entered the ring for his daily practice. Both of his ears were bandaged.

His coach asked him what happened.

He explained, "I was ironing my shirt when the phone rang and I accidentally answered the phone with the iron!"

"That explains the one ear, what happened to the other?" Asked the coach.

The boxer replied, "They phoned back".

DROP SHIPPERS

You can get products to sell via eBay or/and your website by using the services of a drop shipper. A reliable drop shipper will not ask you for a fee. They will allow you to copy pictures of the products they sell. Prices are about half you would pay for retail.

If you have a website they will allow you to move any listing on their site to yours. You set your price on the product/s you transfer. When an order comes in, place the order. They will ship it out for you under your shipping label and not include any of their material.

A good way to promote is join as an affiliate,(with a drop shipper), transfer a couple specials onto your site, with a link back to your affiliate page. The cost of setting up a web site is minimum.

Subscribe to a few free Internet Newsletters, and join some free forums. You will find these listed in Google or Yahoo search.

Forums are a great way to contribute ideas and post. Include your signature file at bottom. Great way to makes sales too.
