Things have just got ‘phishier’ on the Net. Those scammers who have made our lives tough with email phishing have devised a new game. Called ‘voice phishing’, the technique is being used to dig out our details and committing various crimes online.
The scammers set up a fake call center using VoIP (Voice over IP). They send email message claiming to come from a reputed company. But instead of giving a website link to click on, they send a phone number to call. Once you call on that number, what you hear sounds like the company’s telephone queuing system. The unsuspecting user thinks it is the genuine company and gets easily deceived.
The recorded message you hear after dialing the number asks for details like your payment card information (numbers, expiry dates and the last three digits printed on the signature panel), PIN (Personal Identification Number) social insurance number, date of birth, bank account numbers and passport number. Each one of these is valuable information for the phisher as it can give him the control of your financial accounts, help open new bank accounts, transfer bank balances, file loan applications, apply for credit cards and other goods/services, purchase luxury items, conceal criminal activities, receive government grants or secure a passport.
The email can be sent out as “image spam. This means the email carries an embedded image instead of actual words so your spam filter will not be able to catch it.
Voice phishing catches you unawares. The clever scammer has asked you to call on a number. You are well acquainted with the names of your favourite online companies but there are bleak chances that you know their numbers as well. That’s where the scammer outsmarts you, making you call on the number and divulge your confidential account information.
When you smell something phishy
There are ways you can differentiate a ‘phish’ from genuine messages. The message comprises language/information that sounds strange or too exciting. It can demand an immediate response and is not personalised in most cases.
Always be wary of any unsolicited incoming communication. Do not divulge any personal information on phone unless you have called your bank yourself. Always check the number you are calling and tally it with the number listed on your bank’s website. Avoid sending personal information and bank account details over email. In case of credit cards, for verification purposes, use the telephone number printed on the back of the card. Also remember no bank asks you for PINs, passwords or all 16 digits of your credit card number. Once you notice a ‘phish’ do not click on that link. Report it immediatel

Abu Qyatada who enjoyed political asylum in Britain , was named by the United Nations as a terror suspect and by the Spanish authorities as Al Qaeda’s spiritual ambassador in Europe. He was also leader of the Takfir Wal Hijra, which was then headed by Ayman al-Zawahiri - later to obtain much greater fame and fortune in noteriety and world media.
Despite intelligence claims and reports that he had not met Osama in the 1980’s , Abu Qatada denies ever having done so. However he is wanted by the Jordanian government in connection with a series of bombings in Amman in late 1998.

SEX SURVEY - India today, a leading magazine in India conducted SEX SURVEY in India. Survey was conducted on 2,559 males in the age group of 16-25 years across 11 prime cities of India. Interesting findings of the survey are as follows.46% single 16-25 year old males have had sex. 63% single young men expect the women they marry to be a virgin. 37% single young men have had a homosexual experience. 49% young men had sex with sex workers 50% young men believe women who wear revealing clothes are sexually liberated 58% young men say good grooming is important to attract the attention of the girls 56% made their contact with the girls in friends circle. 83% keep in touch with their girl friend over phone 56% parents do not object to mixing with female friends. 74% do not want to marry a woman who admits to having had pre-marital sex with one or few partners.37% worried about people staring when they out with his girl friend 63% would not like to marry or date a woman much older to him. 55% go with their girl friends to restaurant63% discuss with their female friends about movies 31% say they spend Rs.50-Rs.100/- when they go out with their male friends. 27% say they spend Rs.100-Rs. 250/- when they go with their girl friend. Of all the above findings, I was stuck at the finding “74% do not want to marry a woman who admits to having had pre-marital sex with one or few partners”. This means the inner heart still feels pre-marital sex is wrong. After all we are doing many wrong things in our life. Just like smoking, drinking alcohol, which are proven injurious to health. Casual pre-marital sex is still dangerous to health and to the family. To conclude I say sex with partner gives most pleasure and one will enjoy it to the core when it is done with purity. Avoid pre-marital/extra marital sex for the purest and highest enjoyment.
