Squad (ATS), please make a
note of the new ALL INDIA
TOLL-FREE Terror Help-line "1090".
Your city's Police or
Anti-Terror squad will take action as quickly as possible.
Remember that this
single number 1090 is valid all over India

free number and can be dialed from mobile
phones also.
Moreover, the identity
of the caller will be kept a secret.

every citizen of India aware about this facility.

DO NOT DIAL IF SOME ONE ASKS YOU TO DIAL #09 or #90
Please Do Not Dial This When Asked.
New Trick of Terrorists to Frame Innocent People!!
If you receive a phone call on your Mobile from any person saying
that they are checking your mobile line, and you have to press #90
or #09 or any other number, END this call immediately without
pressing any numbers.
Friends, there is a fraud company using a device that once you
press #90 or #09 they can access your SIM
card and make calls at your expense.This information has
been confirmed by both Motorola
and Nokia. There are over 3 million affected mobile phones.

(One
of our regular readers, Rita Rao from UAE sent us this mail. We have
reproduced the mail as received by us.)
It all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he
was from my phone company and he asked me to shutdown my
phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was
rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell
phone.
After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not
even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and
I received several calls from my family members and the
others were from the number that had called me earlier -
3954380.
I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried
asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had
received a call from someone claiming that they had me with
them and asking for money to let me free. The call was
so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud
asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for
next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my
parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report.
Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to
shut down my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to
do and hung up.
They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had
run down. I myself lodged a police report and I was
informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported.
MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred
the money! And it is impossible to get back the money.
Be careful as this kind of scam might happen to any of you!!! Those
guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If
you are asked to shut down your cell phone for updates
by the service provider, ASK AROUND!
Your family or friends might receive the same call. Be Safe and Stay
Alert!!
Best regards
Nishit Baliga

Issues & Voices

Indo-Pak
relations
I
had a lot of Pakistani friends and my family used to mix with them
freely and with all friendship. I am not able to understand
the psychological divide between Indians and Pakistanis,
though we harmoniously live with our Muslim friends outside the
country. Why this psychological divide at all? I would rather blame
the politicians OF BOTH THE COUNTRIES for this divide. A lot of
inter action between the people of the countries are most
desirable and it is high time that a little more freedom is accorded
by both the governments for the people to intermix more freely.
Certain
changes in the visa system are also desirable.
To
achieve co-existence between the countrymen of both Pakistan
and India should be foremost in the agenda of both the governments,
instead of wasting tons of wealth of both the countries to retain
and maintain large armies out of psychological mistrust and fear
between each other.
Free
movement between the people of the two countries will have to be
achieved smoothly and if the governments apply their minds this can
be made possible.
Let
us live with the hope of unity between the two countries not
too far.
They
are our closest neighbour and it is always advantageous to both the
countries to co-exist with love without any element of suspicion
and mistrust because of any past reasons.

Kidnapping
case in Carrefour, Dubai
Kidnap Trick - Warning to All Parents!!
Even if you do not have little kids - please pass this one on to
everyone you can think of. You never know whom you
might save by forwarding this e-mail. I wanted to share something
that
happened today while shopping at Carrefour:
A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to find
her 4 yr old daughter was missing. I was standing there right beside
her
and she was calling her daughter with no luck.
I asked a man who worked at Carrefour to announce it over the
loudspeaker. He immediately walked right past me after I asked and
went
to a pole where there was a phone. He made an announcement for all
the
doors and gates to be locked - using a store code or something.
So they locked all the doors at once.
This took all of 3 minutes after I asked the guy to do this.
They found the little girl 5 minutes later in the store ' s toilet
cubicle - drugged!
Her head was half shaved! and was dressed in her underwear with a
bag of clothes,
a razor, and a wig sitting on the floor beside her - most likely to
make her
look different!
Whoever this despicable person was took the little girl, brought her
into the bathroom, shaved half her head and undressed her in a
matter of less than 10 minutes!!
This makes me shake to no end. Please keep a close eye on your kids
when in big places where it ' s easy for you to get separated like
Shopping Malls.
It only took a few minutes to do all of that.
Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door.
I am still in shock that some sick person could do this - let alone
in a matter of minutes.
The days are over when our little ones could run rampant all over
the place and nothing
worse would happen than them annoying some people.
The little girl is fine. Thank God for the workers who didn ' t take
any chances.

Scams
When 96 people from China
arrived at Taoyuan International
Airport near Taipei after paying
hundreds of dollars to compete in a music contest offering big cash
prizes, they soon discovered they'd been swindled.
A con artist had faked invitations from the city of Taipei, pocketed
the contest entry fees and abandoned the "contestants" at
the airport when they arrived in mid-February. Some of the musicians
were so angry that they refused to return home.
Such scams are expected to increase in Asia,
people like money a lot, so it's easy to get trapped. People also
believe in lucky opportunities, especially in difficult times."
Trade-reliant Asian economies are reeling from a global slump. The
world is in recession and major companies are cutting production,
freezing job recruitment and laying off workers to save money.
Criminologists say con artists often thrive in such desperate
economic climates.
Scams which police say are particularly likely to increase include
job search deception, fraudulent money lending and getting people to
pay hefty fees to obtain bogus lottery
winnings or buy into supposedly lucrative
business opportunities.
In one type of scam that has recently become popular, swindlers prey
on desperate job seekers in Taiwan,
Hong Kong and China by posing as
recruiters and asking for applicants to invest in the companies they
hope to join.
Those firms and the "investment" vanish by the time
job seekers call back about their applications.
Another creative scam artist in south China
made 800,000 yuan ($117,000) last year by sending mobile phone text
messages using a common Chinese name demanding repayment of a
debt, local media said. Most of those who fell for the trick owed
money to various people and assumed they were being pressed for
repayment.
Such scams add misery to those already struggling to make ends meet.
"People will get desperate and morals will decline, you may get
a phone call stating that you have won a price or answer any 3
questions and the call you at a seminar to take your gift, well
condition is made come along with your wife, I got some phone calls
so I blankly say I do not have a wife, they will somehow make you
take a policy or holiday home resort, along with cashless medical
facility and then vanish in thin air.
The stock market will show sign of
recovery and suddenly there will be a big crash, so wait for the big
crash but economy wont recover soon it will take about two to three
years, some technical analysts on stock are believed to talk of
certain scripts to rise, when the economy is down when there is
recession how can any script give good returns.
RISING DECEPTION: In India, which
anticipates more phone scams and other impersonation frauds this
year as the economy sags, "cheating and related offences"
have jumped about 10 percent. "Phone scams are expected to
continue in these tough economic times
and culprits may come up with new methods of scams designed to
'scare' or 'entice' victims into parting with their money,"
calling you for seminars stating that you have won a price
Economic hardship aside, more sophisticated technology has also
helped to fuel the growth in scams, allowing con artists to cast
their nets wider and dupe people across borders. "It's easy for
anyone to reach anyone," "Before, an aggressor had to meet
the victim." As con artists can easily hide, police struggle to
crack fraud cases. "Even if you get cheated, complaining to the
police is no use. as these fly by night operators shut shop and go
missing

Security
Awareness Tips
Security Awareness Tip: Securing your Laptop
Collection of
Useful Tips & Readings from Security Sites
Keep it off the floor
No matter where you are in public - at a conference, a
coffee shop, or a registration desk - avoid putting your laptop on
the floor. If you must put it down, place it between your feet or at
least up against your leg, so that you're aware of it.
Get it out of the car
Don't leave your laptop in the car - not on the seat, not
in the trunk. Parked cars are a favorite target of laptop thieves;
don't help them by leaving your laptop unattended. If you must leave
your laptop behind, keep it out of sight.
Treat your laptop like cash
If you had a wad of money sitting out in a public place,
would you turn your back on it - even for just a minute? Would you
put it in checked luggage? Leave it on the back-seat of your car? Of
course not. Keep a careful eye on your laptop just as you would a
pile of cash.
Treat your laptop like you want to keep it
Thinking of taking your laptop on the road? It's a great
way to work and stay in touch when you're out and about, but you
need to take some steps to keep your laptop safe-and in your
possession. Here are some things you can do to keep track of your
laptop:
· Treat it like cash.
· Get it out of the car...don't
ever leave it behind.
· Keep it locked...use a
security cable.
· Keep it off the floor...or at
least between your feet.
· Keep passwords separate...not
near the laptop or case.
· Don't leave it "for just
a second"... no matter where you are.
· Pay attention in airports...
especially at security.
· Use bells and whistles... if
you've got an alarm, turn it on.
Change the combination on opened laptop locks
When people have cables with combination
locks for securing their laptops at their workstation, they
always remember to turn the tumblers when they secure the laptop.
But what happens when they unsecure the laptop? Many people won't
turn the tumblers on the opened lock because it is much easier to
lock the laptop later if the combination is already set. About half
a dozen laptops in some offices were reportedly missing. The laptops
were stolen by someone who came by when the laptops were not there
and noted the combination. They came back later when the laptops
were there and used the combination they had noted earlier.

4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY
NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a lifesaver or an
emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can
do with it:
FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there
is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing
network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly
this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it
out.
SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy
someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home,
call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell
phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person
at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile
phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves
someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no
object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach
someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can
unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
our car over a mobile phone!'
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press
the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will
get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile
phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:
* # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to
your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your
phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them
this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if
the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't
use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point
in people stealing mobile phones.

Check your Tyres
Vehicle tires have a 4-year validity
period from their Date of Manufacture (DOM). Thereafter, the tire
expires and may burst whilst in use.
How to find out whether your tire has expired? Check for a
stamp like this: (*2603*)
There is an asterisk at the beginning and at the end of this serial
number. The first two
numbers 2 6 will tell which week of the year has it been
manufactured.
NB: One year has 52 weeks. The last two
numbers represent the year of make.
Therefore, *2603* shows that the said tire is manufactured in
the 26th week of the year 2003.
*2699* this shows that the tire is made in the 26th week of
1999.
Check all your tires for safety purposes.
Do not use expired tires. They
are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather) because
the rubber component may have hardened and cracked.
