What is Leadsomatic and Blastomatic?

I got the following spam email from somebody who calls himself Frank Heath. I'm still not sure what he is selling :)

Hello ,

Tonight I just got off the telephone with a gentleman who signed
up for Leadsomatic and Blastomatic many months / years ago.

It appears he's finally found a program which is working for HIM
and wanted to resume using the systems as before - to Blast Ads
out for his new business.

First he sent me an email asking for assistance - he hadn't used
the sites for a while so I decided to call him and try to help over
the phone - even though he's thousands of miles away and it was
3 am in USA! (As you know, I live "Downunder - New Zealand)

To cut a long story short, I felt it was great to not only be united
briefly with this guy online, but also to be able to advise him on
better ways to use veretekk's amazing GOLD system - you see,
he had decided to UPGRADE to GOLD - at last!

I quickly congratulated him on his decision. I relly don't understand
why so many people hesitate to pay a mere $41.95 for the best system
online!

I explained that with my experience using Veretekk, I would rather
properly configure my GOLD system and promote it on Google than
choose to spend hours and hours Blasting Ads into Cyberspace.
Even moreso now since I have been a proud user of the Platinum System
for sometime now. I use it provide a SEO service for smaller businesses
world-wide to good effect - I can also do it for YOU!

When I told him i could do all the hard work in setting up and configuring
his gold system to promote his Primary Business he was delighted -
and It only cost a few dollars! Two days work for the newbie - but I can
achieve it in minutes!

So I told him,"Email me your URL and password, tell me the URL of your
Primary Business plus send details of the Ad you want to blast out and
I'll have everything dome for you - whilst you go to bed and get a good
night's sleep!

You see when he wakes up tomorrow, I will have configured all 42 portals
point them to his Primary Business, blast out his ads, create a few hundred
back-links and get his RSS feeds rolling and much,much more!

Isn't THAT better than fumbling around? Sure it is !!
So if you 'd like to know a bit more - see how I can help you achieve better
results online..UPGRADE to GOLD then .............talk to me!!

Kind regards

Frank Heath

How to Prevent Identity Theft

How Can I Prevent Identity Theft and How Can I Protect My Identity?

One of the most important things you can protect is your identity. This means making sure your personally identifying information like your social security number, driver's license number, bank account information, bank PIN numbers, computer passwords, and even your birth date are kept secret and secure. This way, there is less of a chance of someone finding this information and using it to pretend to be you or access your financial accounts.

There are several steps involved in preventing identity theft. One important step is to protect your personal information by adopting a strict policy on who has access to this information and why. Make sure you know who you are dealing with, and avoid giving out account information and your social security number in favor of less sensitive material when possible. Be prudent with your personal information, after all your identity is at stake.

Another important step in protecting your identity is learning how to keep your cards, documents, and passwords safe. Even when you are prudent about who you give your personal information to and why, identity thieves can often find this information without your consent by getting their hands on your personal documents, plastic cards, and passwords without you even knowing it.

Finally, because identity theft is not entirely preventable no matter how vigilant you are (although performing the first two steps to the best of your ability certainly puts you at a much lower risk for identity theft), it is important to monitor your financial accounts and credit information . This way, if someone does commit identity fraud using your identity, you will be able to minimize the damage and stop the process sooner.

How does Someone Steal your Identity?

How Does Someone Steal an Identity?

There are a number of methods a skilled identity thief may use to steal your information. These include:

- Shoulder Surfing: watching you from a nearby location as you punch in your pin codes or listening as you give someone else your personal information over the phone

- Dumpster Diving: rummaging through your trash to find bills or other documents with your name and personal information on them

- Stealing: stealing mail (including bills, credit card statements, credit card offers, and tax information), or even stealing wallets and purses to gain access to documents with your personal information on them

- Bribing: bribing employees (such as government, bank, or credit card company employees) who have access to your personal information

- Pretexting: using false pretenses to obtain your personal information from banks, phone, credit companies, and other companies

- Skimming:using a special storage device to scan and remember your credit and debit card numbers when you use your cards

- Phishing: pretending to be a financial institution or other company (like a lotto company) and sending you spam or pop-up advertisements to persuade you to reveal your personal information

- Changing your address: completing a change of address form to divert your billing statements and other mail to another location where this information is easily accessible
