Sir
Terrorism and criminal activities is there, was there and always will be there, they will change their method time to time and changes their faces as require, types and structure, and take the help of technology and so on. And for that we will have to be well prepared. We don’t know from where Terrorism might start but we will have to make a run time situation, where there will be no chance to start any chance of Terrorism, and even if it happens there will be enough footprints to catch them.
Types of Cyber Crime :
Types of cyber crime are like this
1).Un authorized Access in to any Computer or Server, Website, E-Mails of International Organizations, Government Organizations, Banks or personnel for collecting information.
2). Un Authorized use of name, logo, Format of International Organizations, Government Organizations, Banks for money transaction.
3).Fake E-Commerce Sites.
4).Building Porno sites.
5).Blackmailing people by making or collecting nude picture.
6).E-Mail threatening.
Any of these attempts can make the whole nation or individual’s life unstable.
Cyber crime protection :
Even though cyber crime detection and prevention is a tough thing but it is not impossible. For this we will have to work with a very big chain of government and technical organizations together. Cause a single person or a single country can’t do it. It should be taken step from the root level.
1). E-Mail id should be created and verified by Citizen ID card and Passport number and this database can be verified from anywhere for that particular person. Like I want to create one ID in Gmail – when I register for the email, they will verify my ID and Passport number from our country Citizen Database server. Like this from any country for any person this verification is very important.
2). Intel and all other motherboard company, Microsoft, IBM, SUN should develop and upgrade this Fingerprint technology, and this technology will be built-in with each and every motherboard, every computer will run by its exact digital identity. E-Mail sites registration policy should be integrated for fingerprint verification, to take the image of fingerprint and save it into their database.
3). Serious punishment system for the crime, so the criminal will know if he or she commit any crime so that they knows that what will happen if they are caught.
4). Software and applications should be integrated with country government server globally, these applications can send and receive the data of daily new citizen ids, and the daily sales tax collection of every business and personnel. Globally ID Card database system still not integrated to share globally to verify any id from any location like from a bus station or any hospital.
These steps I can’t take it by my own. It should be proposed by every countries responsible ministry and come to a decision. I know it might be not possible for now, but some day this will be the only way and technology to stop cyber crime and detect every single individual in the web.
I am an IT Professional. Even though I don’t have that much institutional educational background about IT, cause before 10 years back IT institutes were only started their activities, they were not proper organized and was so costly, so I’d to build my IT career by myself.
I went to Saudi Arabia at 2001 and my age was like 25. I worked there, one of the biggest Furniture Company “ABDUL WAHED FURNITURE “as the IT Manager for 5 years. I developed their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Application, which was 2 language supported (Arabic, English), and seven branches was connected with WAN at runtime. Now I am trying to build my own Software firm “Enterprisesoft”, and some IT Consultancies.
I work with VB.Net, C#, ASP.Net, VB6, Javascript, SQL Server, ORACLE, MYSQL, Photoshop, Illustrator, 3DMax. Can build any type of complex Windows and Web based Database related Application.
Thank you very much for your valuable time. Will be very happy if I can meet with you. May Allah keep all of you and us Safe, Happy, and Healthy.

a david and goliath story!
I Have had my Xbox for about a year now (one of the Infamous). And I received the Three Red Lights, like everyone that has Bought a 360 within the first year! So, it was still in Warranty and I sent it back to Microsoft, and well it was fixed!!! Or was it??? So, after about two months of Playing, and enjoying the system, I started to Notice some funny...
Read full review of Microsoft and 71 commentswindows vista upgrade rebate not received
When I purchased my E-Machines (Gateway) computer from Best Buy in December 06, I was told I would receive a free Vista Upgrade disc. I filled out the rebate form which was on the sales receipt and mailed off the form mid February o7. On April 22, o7, I received a correspondence from the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Redemption Center, aka Moduslink dated for 3/13/07 informing me that I would have to file online for the rebate and return to them an order number to verify the order.
Their web site (Moduslink) was not for acquiring the rebate but for ordering new discs of the Vista program. The only way I could get the Vista disc was to order it online. I received 1-800 numbers that only lead to a recording and then a dial tone, I received bogus order numbers from email contacts that their web site would not accept. In the end their web site refused any of my information; from model number, COA number or Serial number. I was then told by Moduslink I had to get the Vista disc from E-Machines (Gateway).
E-Machines, Gateway and Microsoft then inturn informed me that they had no authority over Moduslink and that Moduslink were the only ones that had authority to dispense the Vista disc.
To date I have not received the Vista Upgrade disc that I was told I would receive as a rebate and Moduslink refuses to acknowledge my claim for the rebate or to send me the disc. E-Machines, Gateway and Microsoft all deny any responsibility toward fulfilling the rebate offer.
I read the e-mail from Steve Akers above and thought I had posted it. I have the same situation. I received 3 order numbers, sent multiple faxes showing proof of purchase, kept getting e-mails from them that didn't make any sense, & have been told several times(by e-mail) I must now purchase Vista since the promo is over.
I tell you, if I ever get my hands on whoever is responsible I'm going to wring their neck! This is not likely though since their sneaky like Al qaeda. Does anyone know where the heck they are or how to contact them?
It's not that I want the Vista so badly but just to force Moduslink to deliver what was promised. I'm up for any lawsuit. I still have all e-mail docs showing their many order numbers which shows how screwed up their database was.
I to am very frustrated with this rebate. I purchased two Gateway computers back in January and filled all paperwork. After repeated attempts, they sent me two toshiba discs instead of Gateway discs. I sent the two back to them on 8/1/07 and have had no correspondance since. If there is a class action suit, I would be more than willing to be a part of it, since all you get is recordings saying the upgrade redemption is past and the email is a form letter stating the same.
Has anybody received any resolution, or is there a hungry lawyer willing to take on the big guys
Don't worry, you don't want Windows Vista anyway...
It happened to me too. First, the site i went to said approved... then today i checked it again, and it said canceled. What is this all about? I tried calling the customer service number, and got a recording saying to send an e-mail. I sent an e-mail, and they replied by giving me the same freaking number to call! Does anyone have any clue how to get a live person on the phone with moduslink?
Me too! I'm no idiot... I filled out the paperwork as requested and and got some slip saying i didn't fill it out correctly. BS. So then i faxed every piece of paper work i had to the company and still nothing. My link from them says order approved but there is no shipping date.
I suggest you contact the fraud unit of your states Attorney General's Office. Also, that you write a letter to Best Buy, enclosing copies of the documentation for your Vista disk, and demand that they furnish you with a Vista disk or face a lawsuit as did CompUSA over rebates not delivered on merchandise that they sold. Send the letter certified mail so that you can prove receipt. You should find the corporate address for Best Buy on the Internet.
I also bought a (Gateway) computer at Best Buy in January '07 with the "free Vista upgrade" promise and subsequently sent in ALL of the information requested. Recently, AFTER the promotion expiration date, I got a letter stating that they were unable to process my request due to "order number not provided," along with a web address to look it up. The Moduslink web page requests an order number in order to look up your info! THIS IS COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT. (I was aware that many of these rebate enticements were designed to make it difficult to actually be redeemed, so I was VERY careful to supply everything requested, including a return receipt).
These scams are obviously designed to entice a purchase while virtually guaranteeing that few, if any customers will be able to get back their rebate. By enlisting an outside agent (Moduslink?), Gateway and Best Buy can try to shield themselves from liability.
Any info. re. a class action claim would be appreciated.
(p.s. Brad, I also bought a Mac last year and had no trouble getting a printer rebate as promised)
Same problem with my ACER. I think they had a lot of orders and to discard some of those they did this "carobacy". They say that the VAT number isn't correct or credit card not verified... ###! Now they say we lost the right to the upgrade, as the systems are closed. My credit card information and VAT number were correct, and they did this to 2 orders for 2 machines.
I too am ready to sue MODUSLINK, GATEWAY, and MICROSOFT.
They actually did ship my "express upgrade" -- albeit not until March 29th. Then they STONEWALLED me on providing any shipping/tracking info. Yesterday I learned that they totally screwed up my address, and the package was returned as "undeliverable" a month ago. My requests (via telephone & email) for them to re-send it have run up against the infamous MODUSLINK STONEWALL.
...And of course Gateway and Microsoft deny any responsibility. Let's see if the courts agree.
By the way -- to put Microsoft, et al in perspective -- I ordered i'Life '06 for my Macintosh Powerbook last week from Apple.com. It arrived less than 48 hours later ... Free shipping ... and I got an educational discount.
Mac versus PC? Seems like an no-brainer now.
I also bought a Toshiba Notebook computer with the free VISTA Premium Upgrade package.
I bought from BEST BUY on December 18, 2006. I had the people a BEST BUY fill out the required REBATE RECEIPT information. I mailed this to the proper address on January 7, 2007.
On Febuary 20th my wife and I left for Florida, we returned home on April 7 to find in the mail the same form you mentioned above, (you left out the confirmation order number) so on Easter Sunday I tried to go on line, every time I submitted the information it came back (invalid characters entered) spent over 3 hours trying. On April 11 2007 I finaly got online and got a confirmation number and mailed it to P.O.box 1918 (you know the rest).
On April 30, 2007 I received the same form saying I need a confirmation order number. I called the number to be told it no longer active?
I went to BEST BUY the manger said That not his problem, its is TOSHIBA's. Or I made a Mistake.
The only mistake I made is trusting BEST BUY
and Toshiba.
I really think it is a scam they ran to sell computers.
unknowledgeable support staff
Last week, I called in to see if I could get a power supply that works in India as I am planning to pack that for my son who is going to India. Call 1 (4/8/2007): In the first call the person said something to the effect that I need to purchase the whole system for India, when I was trying to see if I could but the power supply and Power cord, I got disconnected (my bad).
Call 2 (4/8/2007): So I call up again and explained that I had lost the connection and I was looking for a whole power supply kit that will work in India. The person responded if I needed a power cord or just the brick, I check the price and said send me both.
Today (4/13/2007): I received the prower supply only (not the cord and does not seem to be new, this is not the issue). When I checked the power specification, it is the same as the one I have (shipped originally with the console), so I call up the call center and say that I did not receive the correct power supply. After explaining couple of times and being on hold for several minutes for couple of time the person, told me that I will need to buy a transformed in India. (Initial this person did not even know the voltage in India). On which I said, I wanted to return this power supply as it is of no use to me. He tried to convince me to keep it and take it India, I said I do not want to carry two power supply as they are bulky and do not solve my problem. He then transfered me to his supervisor (I believe Allen), who after understanding my issues put me on hold for server minutes and came back with a answer that he has escalated it to Microsoft and it will take 5-8 day and I should hang on to this power cord. Then he said something that was troubling me.
He said that my request to use in India was made only today. This is ridiculous as the whole purpose of the call and to get the power cord was to use in India. He also added that he has reviewed the calls I have made and said that I have not told them that I wanted to use in India. When I asked him if he could replay my conversation for me he declined. I even confronted with him that I had a conversation regarding PAL and NTSC system on the first call.
Now, I have two question as a Microsoft customer what are my options.
1) Microsoft is selling XBOX 360 in India and don't they have original power supply that work in India.
2) Don't I as a consumer have a right to return an item that I have just purchased with a certain time period.
I completely agree with you. Actually the situation here in India is absurd for most manufacturers, but right now, MS is the one that really gets my goat. My brother bought a console in Dubai and when he shifted back home this year the power supply conked off in a month or so. I got a replacement from Dubai because MS refused to provide one and it conked of again a couple of days ago. Obviously I am pissed. But the most infuriating thing is the attitude at MS. I understand why they have a policy regarding warranty support in India, but not providing spares when one is willing to pay for it is ridiculous. First, you can easily penalise customers for buying grey by charging for parts instead of warranty support. Or even charge slightly higher for the part to serve as a deterrent. But going even beyond that, surely there is a way to manage this in a way that differentiates between fair use and unfair use from their perspecitive.
I have similar problem. I bought one from US and took that in India. Now Microsoft tells me that I need to buy a whole new xbox 360 and they cannot sell me a xbox 360 power cord... this is ridiculous.
hardware failure
Son bought Xbox360 on the first day available 11/05. It has had two hardware failures since then, both outside of 90 day warranty. Both times we have insisted that MS replace unit at no charge due to State of Maine law prohibiting limitation of implied warranty/merchantability for up to four years of coverage. Incidental and consequential damages are also NOT disallowed.
MS customer service is an oxymoron. They constantly try to get you to think there is nothing they can do and that you have not choice but to pay for all repair costs. Yet, I have them picking up my defective unit at their charge and have them replacing it with a new one. It DID take six phone calls and much time on phone on hold and non-English foreigners AND emailing the VP for MS Customer Service and Support.
PLEASE check you state's 'consumer protection' laws - either on web or by calling - because MOST states have laws on books giving you BETTER warranty than that stated in owner's manual. GET a copy of the law and BE persistent and UNWAVERING in your demands. The place where you purchased it is ALSO EQUALLY responsible to the buyer! Bring it back for a new/replacement unit and BRING THE LAW copy.
IF you had items delivered - they MUST pick up at their cost or repay you for shipping back (incidental and consequential damages/costs).
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER PAY FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY unless you already know what your state covers. These RIPOFFS are the biggest part of the store profits for a given item - check out www.consumerreports.com to check this out!

GO GET 'EM!
We purchased a xbox 360 game system for my son Christmas 2006 and the system has stopped working 1 year and 1 month after the purchase. The warranty on this product is 1 year. Surprise surprise! After speaking with a manager at GameStop we were told that there was an extended warranty issued by Microsoft because of the problems customers have had with these game systems. The warranty was for an additional 2 years. Evidently, there have been A LOT of problems with this system. I called the number given by the manager and was told the extended warranty only covers certain problems and mine, of course, was not included. I will have to pay an additional $99 for the repair of the system on top of the almost $1000 for the game system, accessories, and games that have been purchased just over a year ago. The public should demand that these large companies be held accountable for all of the problems that they obviously know about via the repairs that come in through their repair department. I just wanted to issue a complaint to let everyone know that I would never purchase another game system from Microsoft and hopefully give information to anyone thinking of purchasing one. I am also hopeful that if enough people issue complaints and speak up that something may be changed and maybe that they will not think of us as just another number and actually start thinking of us as customers.
i got the 3 red lights i got the old your warrentee has run out sir u must pay £65 to fix it and then said i had to use a credit card which i dont have so im writing a complaint email and letter to every available microsoft division till i get an answer as the one that went to xbox support replied and i quote "to check on your xbox repair please vist xbox.com " that was it i wrote a big email comlaining of my problem the lousy support i recieved and asking for answers on what to do next to get it fixed and thats what i got what a jip how do they survive on repeat custom ?.
I really loved the brief time that i have gotten to use my 360
but it doesn"t work now an i can"t find any one to fix it!
this is B.S can you help?
Same thing happen to me. I pay all that money and my system been to Microsoft twice and still today my xobox live is not working. Yes, the customer support SUCK!
Call the better buisiness bureau...microsoft has a bully attitude when dealing with people and hardware problems...they will not budge on anything and are totally useless
I have been talking with the BBB and they are actually being helpful..
My original console lasted about 8 months before I got a new one and now after another 9 months will not read media and turns off randomly
I called again and they said only the 3 red lights are covered for free...and I had to pay 100 bucks to get a new one.and when I refused to pay and asked for reasons why they would not stand behind their product I got the usual sorry sir B.S...and she even had the nerve to tell me that it sounds like the three red lights are probably going to happen and to call back when that happens.But it won't read any cds, if I can't use it how are the red lights going to happen!
I for one have had it with Microsoft and will be going to get a nice new PS3 (That will work for more than a few months)...If you want to get back at microsoft, just spread the word.Let anyone who is thinking about buying a system know that the 360 is a pile of CRAP and the support sucks!
I hope their next console flops!
I have sent back 8 360s and they keep sending me refurbed stuff that works for like 2 days i think it is ridiculous 8 times 8 times some one please wtf can i do.
very disappointed with the service!
I have called the Xbox 360 helpline and e-mail line many times and they said they will come pick my xbox and have received no help i am very been very disappointed with this service. It has been 2 months. Poor service!
