Phishy emails

I hate spam emails. How about you? I regularly get them in my yahoomail. We should be cautious and aware of phishy emails playing to be from a legitimate trader,vendor, bank, organization, or government agency. These emails usually ask you to validate or confirm your personal information. More often than not, they use common statements such as, your account will be closed, there is an order for something has been placed in your name, your information has been nowhere to be found due to technical problems and verify your identity by submitting your SSN, they would say that they are the fraud department ask to verify your information because they suspect you may be a victim of identity theft, a state lottery commission and requested your bank information to deposit their prize money into your account. Be aware of this trick and phishy email.

Phishing emails and text messages

I was really surprised when I received a strange text message from USE Credit Union. The message stated, “FRM:USECU MSG:USE Credit Union Message: please verify your account-‘suspicious activity’. Verify at (blah, blah,).com. I can’t recall having any account with them. I was going to verify it with my husband but I decided to check out USE credit union website. I learned that USE members may be at risk due to phishing emails and text message that has been circulating lately. So, if you have an account with USE credit union, just ignore the message. Don’t fall for it. It is a trap and a scam. The said text phishing message asks members to verify their account through a fraudulent link or website. USE advised all members to reject it and not enter any personal information over the telephone or any fake links. If you already have acted in response to the phishing text message, you should contact the official USE contact no. Or visit their official site.

Press Release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Welcome to the launch of the Task Economy. We’d like you to be among the first to experience it, kick the tires, and share your opinions with your readers.

Microsoft® Task Market is a new Technology Preview site that lets people with tasks find people with the know-how to do them – saving time, and improving the end product.

For every person who throws up both hands at the prospect of creating a complex formula in Microsoft Excel, somewhere in the world there’s another person who can make it look easy. For every poor proofreader, there’s an expert one out there who wouldn’t mind making a few extra dollars. For every small business owner who doesn’t have time to do background research on a new business prospect, there’s a talented researcher who could quickly put together a dossier.

The big idea with Task Market is this: create a viable market to get them together and things get done.

Task Market is in the Technology Preview stage. That means that developers at Microsoft Research are releasing the site “into the wild” to demonstrate the potential of the technology, investigate the breadth of user adoption, solicit ideas on how to improve the site and, ultimately, create a market of Task Posters and Task Solvers to help people get their office tasks done.

A Task Market Task is:

· Something that can be done for $20 to $500

· Something that the Task Poster could use help doing

· Something that can be delivered electronically, like a Microsoft Office document.

A Task Market Poster might need help with:

· a specialized Excel formula

· language translation

· letter writing

· an aspect of their accounting

· making a PowerPoint presentation “pretty”

· graphics, charts, formatting or logos

· research gathering

· proofreading

· building sell sheets, listing sheets or simple brochures

· fact checking


Task Market Solvers create profiles of their skills to help Posters assign tasks to Solvers with the right skill sets, and get email alerts when a job arrives that fits their skillsets. Posters can award and pay several solvers for tasks to compare results, and give more work to the ones they like. All without the commitment of a freelance engagement.

Check out the working tech preview at www.taskmarket.com . Who knows. We may be building a whole new economy. We’d like to start with you and your readers. Let me know if you have any questions.
