Cyber Crime : Be AWARE !

"Mr XYZ,
Congratulations you have been selected as the winner of a lucky draw and are
liable to get $500,000.
To collect your prize money please send in your account details and a transfer fee
of Rs 1,00,000 to ___ account at the earliest.
Thanks and Regards,
ABC"

This e-mail above could make you mad if it comes in your inbox. And why it wouldn't ? The prize money itself is enough to make a person blind in greed that he fails to understand that the complete mail is fake.

This form of cyber crime is committed by hackers who fool people and steal a good sum of money from the people or take all the account details , eventually leaving their account balance to nil.

This is done so professionally that to locate these hackers is almost impossible.

Well, this is not the only way of stealing money.There have been incidents where they hack your friends account and send you an e-mail stating that --

"Dear friend,
I had been to (some place-mostly abroad) for some work but here I became a prey
to theft. Now I don't have money to even get back to my hometown.
Could you please do me a favor of sending me $(amount) to this account
(____number) so that I can get back to my hometown and I also promise to return
the money back as soon as I get back.
Thanks,
Your Loving Friend,

ABC"

The mail is written so perfectly that you would want to help your friend. This way he bags the money you sent and later disappears.

People should thus be aware about the cyber crimes happening around the world and should never be a victim of such crimes. You should not give away your hard earned money to such people.

One should thus be INFORMED and AWARE about such happening and if you come across such mails, inform the cyber crime police so that they can do their job. And remember to  say NO to FREE MONEY.

An Interview with social networking site -Part 2

In the previous part [ You may also read the part 1 of this debate.

View Part 1 ]we talked about the merits of social networking and why do

some people think that social networking is a bane which according to you is
incorrect. So now let's continue...

Interviewer-Can you frame an example to suppport your statement mentioned

earlier ?
Interviewee-Yes , Of course. Like I said earlier you can connect with people ,chat
with them, play games but this doesn't mean that all da you play games or all day
you chat with friends who could even be possibly staying next door.It all depends
on the individual on how he manages his activities. And whereas speaking about
addiction , then there are bookworms who are addicted only to books all day long ,
of course this will give you a lot of knowledge but then where is your social life ? In
short there should be a balance of everything.

Interviewer-So what else could be the drawbacks of social networking according
to you ?
Interviewee- To a certain extent privacy issues and security to data could be a
drawback but people need not worry about this issue cause our engineer's are
there to handle it out.And needless to say let it be email account's, bank account's,  or any data exchange happening over the net faces privacy and data security
threats - the cause - unethical behavior of computer user's :D

Interviewer-So again humans are to be put @ fault... sad :(
Interviewee- hhmmm.....

Interviewer-Ok. Do you think that in near future social networking could be used ,
other than leisure time for some productive uses ?
Interviewee- Yes. Why not. In future schools and colleges can get connected
through social networking sites. Teacher's can get connected to students which is
slowly in the process. Even today many reputed companies have thier own fb and
twitter a/c's and pages,  basically for publicity.

Interviewer-What would be your conclusion on the effects of social networking on
the life of people ?
Interviewee-See,  in simple words, social networking sites is like a facility provided
to people and they should make the best use of it and not misuse of it and say that
it's a bane to human lives.Without this vital aspect of life , people would be almost
back to the dark ages ! while privacy and security issues are nothing to be scoffed
@ , social networking proves to be a boon rather than a bane.

So with that, the debate whether social networking is a boon or a bane get's
clear.Social networking site has cleared our queries . But just in case you have
any other queries you may be free to ask by just posting a comment below this.
You shall get your answers as early as possible. :D

An Interview with Social Networking site. Part 1

There is a debate on whether social networking sites are a boon or a bane.Today
I am taking up this topic but in an interesting way, an Interview with social
networking site.

Interviewer(me)- As a Social networking site what do you feel about yourself ?

Interviewee(social networking site)- I feel gr8 ! Well I help millions of ppl get
connected & stay in touch with each other, help ppl share their thoughts,
emotions, reviews, talents, pictures and whatnot, help ppl regularly update their
peer groups about their activities, assist in organizing & publicizing events, shows, I
also help to promote business, help ppl find jobs, help ppl find their better halves,
help ppl overcome their timidity and ....

Interviewer-(interrupts..) phew ...that's a lot of them.Then tell me why ppl talk about
the banes of social networking ?

Interviewee- Every coin has 2 sides.Similarly almost every materialistic thing in life
has a good side and a bad side, I mean merits and demerits.But basically its upto
the ppl on how they use networking sites. Either they use it to get the best of
networking sites or think about those crap demerits.

Interviewer- So you mean to say its we who find fault in social networking sites
rather than finding faults in ourselves ?

Interviewee- Yes. Well I did provide you with many uses as mentioned earlier but
that doesn't mean that a person forgets his routine chores and uses social
networking sites the whole day. He should be aware about the responsibilities he
has throughout the day. You can't blame the advantages of social networking  for
the occurring disadvantages.Time management is also very essential in the life of a
person in this fast pace life.At the end 800 million ppl couldn't all be wasting their
time..

4. Donald Trump Palace : $125,000,000
Donald Trump owns this 18-bedroom waterfront palace, which is listed as costing $125,000,000. Situated in Florida, Trump says it’s location in Palm Beach is “the richest community in the world” and it doesn’t seem like he’s joking!

3. Updown Court in Surrey, UK : $140,000,000

With neighbors like Elton John and the Queen of England, Updown Court in Surrey, UK is going to be a rather decadent household.This home contains 24 bedrooms, each with a marble en-suite bathroom, and an underground garage.There’s a rumor that this house is up for sale.Any buyers. !!!

2. Ira Rennert Mansion : $180,000,000.

The billionaire found of the Renco Group, Ira Rennert, owns a place in Sagaponack, New York, and at 63 acres of grounds, is considered by many to be the largest residential compound in the whole of America. The house itself has 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, as well as the usual gigantic dining room, sport courts and bowling alley and all that you think.

1. The Villa La Leopolda in Nice, France: $ 398,350,000
Formerly the home of Bill Gates, but now belonging to really rather rich Roman Abramovich, the Villa La Leopolda in Nice, France would set you back roughly £250,000,000 ($ 398,350,000 ). Its 10 acres of lush, garden-filled grounds require an astounding 50 gardeners to look after it !! Now that's why its ranked no. 1.

I wish in near future I would be the owner of one of these homes...!! ( extravagant imaginations right ..? )
