-- -- Stop and Think: Name the talent or sport activity that's won performing it backwards? ... Answers: 1. Tug-of-war 2. Scull Racing 3. Swimming; backward stroke 4. Pole-vaulting 5. Ballroom Dancing; female partner 6. Luge; a tobogganlike racing sled on which the rider lies face up. (Believe it or not, once tug-of-war and pistol dueling were Olympic Sports.) -- "Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." --

Sometimes we do things backwards -- from Z to A. --> This informational service was added as an afterthought because it bothered me that some "idea people" do things backwards; they think that's all they have to do is call somebody on the phone [likely a scamming invention marketeer] - tell them about their "idea" - and the royalty checks would be coming in the mail. --> Yeah, I thought of you, dummy,.. you who think there is an "easy way."

Disciplinary Action Affirmed by CAFC
--
Recently the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), affirmed disciplinary action taken by the USPTO against a registered patent attorney, who became involved in the activities of one invention promotion company and represented more than one thousand inventors. This important decision lends critical support to the USPTO's efforts to protect unsuspecting inventors from unscrupulous invention promoters. If you have questions please call Harry Moatz, Director of the Office of Enrollment and Discipline, 571-272-6069. The USPTO urges all independent inventors to read the court's decision [PDF viewer]-- "Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section

Criminals have now gone 'vishing'
|
-- You receive e-mail supposedly from PayPal asking you to call, claiming that your account has been compromised. Or, a company you don't know calls threatening collection. It's scary. Before you give out any personal data, there's something you should know.
You could be the target of vishing, or voice phishing. It's the latest twist on phishing scams.
-- Phishing attacks rely mostly on e-mail and try to trick you into divulging private information that will be used in identity theft. For example, you receive a message purportedly from a bank or a store claiming that there's a problem with your account requiring immediate attention. The e-mail directs you to a malicious website that looks legitimate and appears to have a legitimate Web address. The site is designed to trick you into disclosing sensitive information. Or, it infects your machine with malicious software designed to steal information. Either way, you become a victim of credit card theft or worse.
-- Popular Web browsers incorporate anti-phishing tools. Unfortunately, criminals are one step ahead. They're using the telephone to catch you off guard.
-- How do vishing attacks work?
-- There are several variations of vishing scams. In one attack, a criminal calls via VoIP, spoofing the phone number so your caller ID displays the name and number of a reputable organization, such as a bank, store, government agency or website.
-- When you answer the call, a prerecorded message greets you. It directs you to another phone number. If you call, you're prompted to enter personal information via telephone keypad. The key tones are captured and decoded. The criminals just got your information.
-- Another variation begins with e-mail. Unlike with phishing messages, you're not directed to the Web. Rather, you're instructed to call a telephone number and tricked into revealing personal data when you call.
-- Or, you receive a call from a spoofed number. This time, you speak to a real person. The person requests account numbers and other data.
-- The caller could invite you to join a bogus online research network where you'll be paid to install special software on your computer. The software is spyware that steals sensitive information.
-- Some vishing attacks start with a prerecorded incoming call in which you're directed to a website to supposedly resolve an account problem. The site is a phishing site.
-- How to spot a vishing attack
-- Vishing methods vary, but there are several hallmarks of vishing attacks.
-- First, the information presented in the attack is upsetting or exciting. For example, you could be threatened with a lawsuit over an unpaid bill, although you may never have done business with the company.
-- Vishing attacks usually demand an urgent response, claiming that you run the risk of account closure or credit troubles.
-- The visher may ask you to take a poll and then direct you to install a spyware program.
-- Vishing attacks usually aren't personalized. They probably won't reference a real account number. The visher may not even know your name.
-- How to protect yourself
-- Suspicion and vigilance are your best weapons. Be wary of incoming communications. Do not rely on caller ID to identify callers. E-mail addresses are not trustworthy, either.
-- Never give out personal information in these circumstances. Instead, call the organization to ask if the communication is legitimate. Check your account paperwork for the correct phone number.
-- If you have never done business with an organization, ignore the communication. It's your safest bet. --
