Dear Friend,

Brief Introduction, I am Ms Stella Evans 32years old, citizen of London Uk, a purchasing manager to a company in Uk called MACGROVE COMPANY, PLC LONDON. Kindly give attention to this letter, though it will bring surprise to you as it comes from a strange person.

Due to my condition now, i honorable demand for your co-operations, honest, reliability and sincerely on this transaction as my Friend / business partner, i have deliberated it in my mind and decided to contact you and offer you this business proposal.

I have decided to intimate you personally and discreetly with this business proposal which will be of mutual benefit to both of us.

When i was pursuing through your profile, I became aware of your credibility, I use to come to Malaysia to purchase a certain product called CRYSTALITE GEM.

Now i will no more be able to make my trip to Malaysia as normal does because of my health, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health.

It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now am on admission in the hospital that will take few months according to medical director.

Though my company have arranged to send my assistant for the mission to purchase the products on behalf of my company which i normally bought in Malaysia.

For the fact that i do buy the product ( CRYSTALITE GEM ) at the rate of ($2,500 u.s dollars) per a carton of six bottles and re-sold to my company at rate of ($4,000 u.s dollars)

The CRYTALITE GEM is a new scientific chemical fluid substance manufactured in North Korea , its of lubricant, mainly used in the gemological laboratory for the purification of diamonds clarity treatment, it penetrate deep into diamond and vaporizes out black inclusion in diamonds and other precious stones listed below:-

(1) Tanzanite
(2) Citrine
(3) Pink topaz
(4) Aquamarine
(5) Ruby
(6) Sapphire
(7) Zircon (both blue and colorless)

These product are rare and highly demanded by my company in Britain, though not long it came to existence, it was introduce to our company by a Chinese friend, Mrs Jessy Chau, a gemologist in USA, who gave me a sample for text on my last visit to the United States.

After our companies research on this product, I discovered it in Malaysia and i have been going to Malaysia for the purchases .

Now i will no more be able to make my trip to Malaysia as normal does because of my health,

I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health.

It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now am on admission in the hospital that will take few months according to medical director.

My company needs this product now and they are arranging to send my assistant for the mission to purchase the products which i normally bought in Malaysia.

For the fact that i do buy the product ( CRYSTALITE GEM ) at the rate of ($2,500 u.s dollars) per a carton of six bottles and re-sold to my company at rate of ($4,200 u.s dollars) and i don't want the company to know about this therefore, i now wish to appoint you as my local agent in Malaysia, so that the assistant purchasing manager who will soon be in Malaysia will have to buy the products through you in other to protect my former dealings.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared to have a friend then in Malaysia but focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.

But now I regret all this as i now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self for now.

I am offering you 50% of the total proceeds ( profit ) from any of the deals whenever he comes to make the purchase of the products as its going to be a continuous business until i stand back on my feet while 40% is for me and 10% would be your local and international operational costs during each of the business transactions in Malaysia.

This transaction is completely risk free to you and will last a day or two days only.

I don't want the person they will be sending to know the cost price that i have been buying the product in Malaysia.

The dealer of this product is a Malaysian lady, I want to introduce you as the dealer to my Company so that my representative will buy it from you as i will give you the contacts of the Malaysia lady so that you can contact her on your own and arrange, why the assigned purchase manager will meet you and buy it from you.

If you promise to be faithful to me by sending my percentage after the transaction with my company, i will now send you all the details you need for the business.

I need a trustworthy person that will handle this business for me until i stand back on my feet.

I want truth & honest to be our watch word.

While waiting for your positive and urgent reply.

Warmest regards

Stella Evans

Storm Worm Virus Warning From FBI

Storm Worm Virus Warning From FBI.

The FBI and its partner, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), have received reports of recent spam e-mails spreading the Storm Worm malicious software, known as malware.

These e-mails, which contain the phrase “F.B.I. vs. facebook,” direct e-mail recipients to click on a link to view an article about the FBI and Facebook, a popular social networking website.

The Storm Worm virus has also been spread in the past in e-mails advertising a holiday e-card link.

Clicking on the link downloads malware onto the Internet connected device, causing it to become infected with the virus and part of the Storm Worm botnet.

A botnet is a collection of compromised computers under the remote command and control of a criminal “botherder.” Most owners of the compromised computers are unsuspecting victims.

They have unintentionally allowed unauthorized access and use of their computers as a vehicle to facilitate other crimes, such as identity theft, denial of service attacks, phishing, click fraud, and the mass distribution of spam and spyware.

Because of their widely distributed capabilities, botnets are a growing threat to national security, the national information infrastructure, and the economy.

“The spammers spreading this virus are preying on Internet users and making their computers an unwitting part of criminal botnet activity. We urge citizens to help prevent the spread of botnets by becoming web-savvy. Following some simple computer security practices will reduce the risk that their computers will be compromised,” said Special Agent Richard Kolko, Chief, FBI National Press Office.

Everyone should consider the following:-

- Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.

- Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting personal information via e-mail.

- Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.

- Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.

- Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site.

- Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits information.

To receive the latest information about cyber scams, please go to the FBI website and sign up for e-mail alerts by clicking on one of the red envelopes.

If you have received a scam e-mail, please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at http://www.ic3.gov/.

ICCC - Tips on Avoiding Fraudulent Charitable Contribution Schemes Scam

ICCC - Tips on Avoiding Fraudulent Charitable Contribution Schemes Scam.

Source : Internet Crime Complaint Center

Since late May and early June 2008, there have been several natural disasters throughout the country – including tornadoes, wildfires, and floods – which have devastated lives and property.

In the wake of these events which have caused emotional distress and great monetary loss to numerous victims, individuals across the nation often feel a desire to help these victims, frequently through monetary donations.

Tragic incidents, such as 9/11, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the recent earthquake in China, have prompted individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions purportedly for a charitable organization and/or a good cause.

Therefore, before making a donation of any kind, consumers should adhere to certain guidelines, to include the following:

- Do not respond to unsolicited (SPAM) e-mail.

- Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations.

- Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.

- Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.

- To ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes, make contributions directly to known organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf.

- Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the recognized charity or aid organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site.

- Attempt to verify the legitimacy of the non-profit status of the organization by using various Internet-based resources, which also may assist in confirming the actual existence of the organization.

- Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: providing such information may compromise your identity and make you vulnerable to identity theft.

In recent months, several natural disasters throughout the world—including floods, earthquakes, severe storms, tornadoes, and wildfires—have devastated lives and property.

In the wake of these events, which cause emotional distress and great monetary loss to numerous victims, individuals across the nation often feel a desire to help by offering charitable donations.

Unfortunately, these tragic incidents have also prompted criminals to take advantage of this good will by illegally soliciting contributions while claiming to represent legitimate charitable organizations.

“We have seen this time and time again—these scam artists will do anything and everything to steal your identity and your money as you try and make donations to well-deserving charities.

If you want your money to go to a good cause, exercise caution to ensure it gets to those in need,” said Special Agent Richard Kolko from Washington, D.C.

The FBI provides the following tips for consumers wishing to make contributions:

- Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.

- Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations.

- Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.

Trend Micro - Cyber Criminals Reinvent Methods of Malicious Attacks

Cyber criminals Reinvent Methods of Malicious Attacks, According to Trend Micro Threat Roundup Report

Elaborate social engineering techniques, advanced malware technology and intricately blended threats further an already-booming underground cyber crime economy.

Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in Internet content security, reported today that cyber criminals are not only leveraging new technologies to propagate cyber crime, but are also reinventing forms of social engineering to cleverly ensnare both consumers and businesses, according to the "Trend Micro Threat Roundup and Forecast 1H 2008" report. As a result, the last six months saw an upswing in Web threats, but steady decreases in adware and spyware that are generated by outdated technical methods and can no longer compete with high-level security solutions.

Exploiting human nature through social engineering and phishing techniques

While social engineering tactics such as the Nigerian phishing scam and the Spanish prisoner scam have been around for decades, cyber criminals continue to refresh and modernize this standard form of trickery based on whatever the trend appears to be. For example, the tools and technologies used to create the interactive nature of popular social networking sites have become a land mine for cyber crime. In March, Trend Micro discovered that over 400 phishing kits designed to generate phishing sites were targeting top Web 2.0 sites (i.e. social networking, video sharing and VoIP sites), free email service providers, banks and popular e-Commerce Web sites.

Recently, a new form of phishing warned potential victims about phishing emails as a way to legitimize that email and then tricked them into clicking on a link that leads to a fraudulent site. Spammers are also recycling old techniques. In February, Trend Micro investigated a voice phishing (aka "vishing") attempt. The message appeared convincing, with all links leading to corresponding, legitimate target pages, but included a phony number for recipients to call to reactivate their account, which had been supposedly "placed on hold." Upon calling the phone number, users were asked for their bank card number and PIN, unwittingly opening their bank accounts to the phishers.

Developing malware for blended threats

Malware variants have generally been treated as separate individual threats. Today, profit-motivated Web threats blend various malicious software components into a singular Web threat business model. For example, a cyber criminal sends a message (spam) with an embedded link in the email (malicious URL) or contained in an instant message. The user clicks on the link and is redirected to a Web site where a file (Trojan) automatically downloads onto the user's computer. The Trojan then downloads an additional file (spyware) that captures sensitive information, such as bank account numbers (spy-phishing). Although seemingly one incident, blended threats are much more difficult to combat and much more dangerous for the user.

Exploiting new technologies

The fast-flux technique is an additional example of criminals abusing technology developments. Fast-flux is a domain-name-server (DNS) switching mechanism that combines peer-to-peer networking, distributed command and control, Web-based load-balancing, and proxy redirection to hide phishing delivery sites. Fast-flux helps phishing sites stay up for longer periods to lure more victims. For example, researchers are challenged to identify malicious Storm domains because developers are using fast-flux techniques to evade detection.

A spike in Web threats accompanied by a decline in adware and keyloggers

Trend Micro witnessed a dramatic increase in Web threat activity during the first half of 2008. Web threats peaked in March to 50,000,000 from approximately 15,000,000 in December 2007.

On the decline are adware, trackware, keyloggers and freeloaders. In March 2007, Trend Micro found that approximately 45 percent of PCs were infected by adware; by April 2008, only 35 percent were reportedly infected. In May 2007, approximately 20 percent of PCs were infected by trackware; that number has dropped to less than 5 percent in April 2008. Keyloggers also showed a small, but steady decline with less than 5 percent of PCs being infected (from over 5 percent in September 2007.)

"This is a good example of how cyber criminals are evolving with the times -- they're moving away from threats that use old or waning technologies; instead, focusing on the lucrative threats that bring a bigger payload," said Raimund Genes, chief technology officer of Trend Micro.

Other notable findings from the report:

-- High-profile Web sites became highly targeted. In early January, several massive SQL injection attacks were launched on thousands of Web pages belonging to Fortune 500 corporations, state government agencies and educational institutions.

-- Mobile threats are continuing to play a small part in the new threat landscape. In January, Trend Micro discovered malware disguised as a multimedia file that was used to infect older Nokia mobile phones.

-- With skill comes precision. Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting more affluent users, such as C-level executives who represent a small number of wealthy, high-level individuals in positions of power to gain access to larger bank accounts, login credentials, or even email addresses that span an entire organization.

-- Spam volumes decreased briefly at the beginning of 2008 -- perhaps a post-holiday break for spammers. Volume spiked in March with a small slip in April. Whenever drops in spam activity occur, Trend Micro researchers interpret this as a sign that spammers are either regrouping to launch a new attack or testing new techniques.

-- Bots (compromised PCs) spiked from over 1,500,000 in January to over 3,500,000 in February. This was then followed by a dramatic drop in March.

Six-Month Forecast

According to research and observations of attacks that have occurred since the beginning of this year, Trend Micro researchers predict the following trends over the next six months:

-- Social engineering will remain a key attack method, with more sophisticated tricks evolving. Trend Micro expects cyber criminals to leverage events such as the Summer Olympics, back-to -school shopping, the U.S. election season, soccer and football events, and the holiday season in December.

-- Cybercriminals will continue to target newly discovered vulnerabilities in "third-party" software applications, such as QuickTime, RealPlayer, Adobe Flash, etc.

-- Crimeware that relies on technical methods that are becoming obsolete, such as dialers and keyloggers, will continue to slowly decline in number. Grayware such as trackware and browser hijackers will also slowly fall off in number as they cannot scale well in an era of million-member botnets.

-- Spam volume will continue to rise exponentially with average daily spam volumes predicted to increase by 30- to 50- billion messages per day. Spam and phishing will rise in August to correspond with back-to-school activities and the Olympics. A seasonal spike is also expected in November to correspond with the holidays, with spam forecasted to reach 170 to 180 billion messages per day.

-- As is occurring now, both spam and phishing will continue to play a part in blended threats. About 0.2 percent-one out of every 500 Web requests-are sent to Web sites hosted on infected PCs, and this trend is expected to continue.

-- Bots and botnets will continue to play an important part in the threat chain for spamming, information stealing, targeted attacks and large-scale attack campaigns.
