Top Five Online Scams
The top five online scams on the Internet hit nearly ten million people last year according to an FBI report in December 2004. That figure doubled from 2003 to 2004 and people are continuing to fall for these email and identity theft scams.
These con artists and hackers are just waiting to commit online fraud and steal your identity. Look carefully at these top five online scams and be aware of what is going on so you won't become a victim. Scam # 1 Online Auction Scam You buy something on an online auction, send them the money and get nothing in return.
Or the product you get is a fake or a cheap knockoff instead of the genuine brand name item. This is a risk you take when buying from an online auction. Scam # 2 Phishing Scam The phishing definition is when a fraudster spams the Internet with email claiming to be from a reputable bank. The email outfitted with authentic bank logos asks you to log in and verify your account information. The theif captures your account information from the web adress they take you to and drains your account.
These can also become identity theft scams too because they can sell your information to other criminals.
Scam # 3 Nigerian Letter Scam These email scams usually start out with all capital letters and begins with: DEAR SIR/MADAM. The email goes on to say they are the some minister of something for an African country. He wants you to help him get millions of dollars out of the country. You just need to pay for legal fees and some other advanced fees before the transaction can be finalized.
You would think people would be too smart to fall for this. But you would be wrong. Scam # 4 Reshipping Scam You are emailed by an offshore corporation that needs a U.S. address and bank account which you supply. You receive goods and reship them to another country.
You receive wire transfers into your bank account and you transfer money into their offshore account. In return you get to keep a percentage of everything. But with this scam you are taking a big risk because you could get arrested for participating in moving stolen property and transferring stolen funds.
Scam # 5 Congratulations You've Won Scam This email tells you have won a nice prize like a plasma TV, a new computer or even the lottery. All you have to do to claim your prize is go to this web address and pay for the shipping and handling with your credit card.
In the case of winning the lottery they need advanced fees to cover legal costs. Not only do you never get the prize but you start getting mysterious charges on your credit card. So what's the best thing to do when you or someone you know has fallen for one of these scams? Some people are embarrassed and don't want to tell anyone. But that's how these thieves get away with these things for so long without getting caught. The best way to stop these con artists from operating is to report email scams to the authorities.
The best place to report email scams is The Internet Fraud Complaint Center or (IFCC). They are a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). Their web address is: http://www1.ifccfbi.gov IFCC's mission is to address fraud committed over the Internet. For victims of Internet fraud, IFCC provides a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of a suspected criminal or civil violation.
By becoming aware of these top five online scams and reporting email scams to the IFCC you can make the Internet safer for everyone.

(ContentDesk) October 7, 2005 -- Scientists at NASA theorize that some 3 1/2 billion years ago, the world was changed forever. The appearance of tiny organisms with the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and amino acids marked the beginning of life. Phytoplankton, the single-cell plants are the basis of all other life forms on planet earth, they are the 'vegetation' of the ocean. Marine Phytoplankton are responsible for making up to 90% of Earth's oxygen. Marine phytoplankton are the food utilized by some of the world's largest and longest living animals and fish.
Blue Whales, humpbacks, baleen whales and more all eat plankton and live between 80-150 years while maintaining great strength and endurance and are sexually active until they die.

Home Equity Loan ? Home Theater Adds Fun and Value
In days gone by, the family typically spent their evenings watching television in the den or living room, crowded around a black and white television set that may have measured no more than nineteen inches in diagonal size. For decades, this scenario was pretty much the same in most American homes, with the only change being the replacement of black and white televisions with color models. This worked fine for many years, when most cities only had two or three stations, and most homes didn't have cable television. With the introduction of high definition television (HDTV), DVD movies, high performance surround sound systems, and affordable video projectors and flat-screen plasma displays, many homeowners would like to have a dedicated room, or home theater, for audio-video use. In today's housing climate, adding a home theater to your home is a smart move.
Few homes have a room that is naturally suited to use as a home theater. Most rooms that might be used for such purposes either...

Permanent Cosmetics
Through a procedure called intradermal pigmentation, it is now possible to have pigments set under the skin almost like a tattoo. These pigments come in two forms - iron oxide that may fade away and the more permanent organic pigments that are also less likely to lead to an allergy. If you can endure the little bit of pain from a local anesthetic you can permanently enjoy a set of luscious full lips with lip liner, eyeliner, as well as arched eyebrows. There are some precautions prescribed for those who wish to undergo permanent cosmetics procedures. You should not take blood-thinning medications for 48 hours before the procedure and you should stop the use of products that contain substances like Retin-A, Alpha or Beta Hydroxy.
The procedure itself takes about two to three hours, and it could take between three to five days for recovery, depending on the procedure so as to assuage any swelling or plasma seepage. Of course, because it's an intradermal procedure,...
