Some tips to avoid internet abuse
Dec 06, 2017 11:16 PM 877 Views

Hi,


Internet is everywhere from home, office, public places like malls, shopping centres, railways stations. The growing use of internet made an environment for social networking. Social networking lead to friendship and getting to know various people whom we know personally as well as those whom we don't know personally.


There are people who use internet as a medium to trouble people over the web. It can be anything from vulgar comments to bullying or harassing someone. We could avoid these things by following some easy steps which I am going list below.


Let us begin how we can tackle abusers online.


Better to report or block than replying


It is better to block or report someone who is harassing us online, because replying him can lead to more abusive words by the abusers.


Don't let abusers follow you


If you find so and so person will abuse you or going to abuse you in future. Do not follow such persons, instead block them in such a way they cannot send you friend request or follow you.


Strict warning


Once you find that you have been constantly abuse by someone. Kindly give him a strict warning that you might actions against him with the proof of abuse over internet. This might lead to fear in the mind of abusing person.


Disable commenting options for non friends


You can always disable option to comment on your posts on social media like twitter, facebook. and many other websites. This will help you a lot with privacy of your posts.


Thanks

Yes/no while being in social-networking websites
Jul 10, 2017 03:18 PM 952 Views

Here is what you should do or should not do, while being in a social networking website like Facebook.


1) If you are worried more, then you should not post your own  picture, Reasons-


1   one of my Facebook friends was verbally abused, but my that friend did a smart job by posting somebody else picture.


2    One girl posted in WWE comment page, somebody passsed a comment on her profile picture


3    IN WWE comment page only, somebody had a posted a comment with a shirtless profile picture, somebody in this case also passed a bad comment


2)Think twice while adding a friend, many abusers add us, and later on abuse us.  Hence think again while adding some unknown person. One can check the profile of a person, before adding him/her.


3) One should block that  person who abuses us, that too immediately.  As it can turn into a very bad experience.


4)if u like privacy more than I do, then you can ban online comments on your timeline, this will give freedom to privacy seekers.


5)One can form groups with friends & talk with them with all the privacy one needs, forming secret group is one such idea. Only the group will be visible to group members only, even I have a secret group.


6)One should not post personal information like address & cellphone number.

Internet kills?

Will internet may be a blessings for our future generations?lets hope they will not fall in cheatsmay new technology will help improvements in internetalso we pray for them to make a new world of knowledge and secure technology


Despite some claims that abuse such as spam is flattening, costs are still estimated by some sources to be significant. Specifically, the 2009 cost of spam is estimated around$130 billion worldwide and$42 billion in the US.Nevertheless, other sources claim the abuse is still beneficial - and profitable - and, thus, continues to proliferate


Phishing is estimated to cost the US economy$5.8 billion in 2008, up from$3 billion in 2007. Over the past three years, more than 2, 000 brands across 30 countries have been spoofed in emails, incurring additional damage beyond direct financial losses.

Check the review posted here about 365jobs4u


https://shvoong.com/internet-and-technologies/1745929-www-365jobs4u-com/


I am not sure who wrote this review but looks like some own working as an ad poster must have done it. Cause what all reviews I have read show the site as scam.


Thanks to the review from people like you I have escaped all scam sites till now. One thing I have learned from researching online for past two months is there are only a few sites which are genuine and rest all get rich and top secret schemes asking to roll out money are mostly about affiliate marketing. I paid one of this schemes and found exactly what is done. It ain't a big deal but with out guidance there is chance you will not earn much. Even I am not an expert in this but I can help anyone in earning online cause I like to share the knowledge and I know how frustrating it is to find the right job. Believe me!


Ok I can actually show how this affiliate business is done and ca guide you to make one and yea as all say THE BIG SECRET! but this is free. You can go through the process at my free site he! He I build my site for free only cause in business always make sure your investment is minimum and the return higher. Ok my site name is


https://mintmoney.synthasite.com/


Here everything is free my help too but since it is free don't expect top class service OK. like don't expect em to respond to your queries in a jiffy. Have patience.


Well nothing is free in this world right! well do me a favor if u like the idea if affiliate marketing and you create a few sites for your self by using my guide shown in the site then make sure you email me your site names and your email id only meant to contact me. I just might have a scheme you might like once I am able to get enough people in my network.

May 24, 2008 12:05 PM 4834 Views

I hope most of the guys and gals looking for some extra income, having an Internet connection in home would have tried some work from home jobs. https://365jobs4u.com which seems to be a genuine job offering site is a 100% fraud. Based on my own experience, I lost 1500 Rs. for registration and lost my precious time, working for them.


They never paid me even a single penny. There bogus customer support never responded. They offer variety of FAKE work from home jobs. They will give you a load of work, get it done within a time period and will never pay you. The live support of https://365jobs4u.com which would have been active till you paid them the registration amount, will respond no more. “Your payment will be done within 5 days” will be there response.

Internet Abuse - We all should react against it.
Feb 08, 2008 01:16 PM 3792 Views

Internet abuse is the term describes internet forgery, spamming, scamming  take place. as internet is a safe place for criminals to do crime we have to be carefull. I used this form to give you adivice and some measures you can take to avoid internet abuse.


Generally people who do crime on internet think they are safe. but generally they are not. with advanced tools we can search them. if any one send spam email we can trace the ip by opening the email headers. email header can be viewed in outlook by selecting show full headers. we can also right click the email message and select view source. we can find the ip address.


put the ipaddress in https://geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm and we can see where exactly that ip address located. yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc gives antispam. enable it to avoid spam and block the email addresses.


next internet forgery happens in ebay and other ecommerce websites. their are lots of complaints regarding purchase through ebay. before purchasing through ebay collect all contact information regarding the seller, his reputation percentage.


there is another internet scamming happening in the name of make money online for using internet. only one site is reputed and pays us money. that is google adsense. that is only genuine site that pay there users. there is a website named https://surfjunky.com which is a scam. before going through any internet websites just do a search in google mentioning that site name. you will get comments regarding that website. but my advice is trust google adsense if you need money by internet.


Internet Complaint Website


There is a Website owned by US FBI where we can register complaints regarding internet abuse. it is https://complaint.ic3.gov/Default.aspx  . if  you feel that you are cheated or spammed scammed by a website or email refer that web and file a complaint. they will contact you by email and even phone for serious issues. make sure you have all supporting documents and evidences printed.


General advice to common man who browse internet and avoid abuse are.


1 : do not open any unknown email


2 : do not publish your email address and other contact info on socail networking websites except friends and close friends. there is an option where you can filter viewers in orkut.com.


3 : Do not publish your photograph if you are a female gender in orkut or other networking websites. there may be chance of abuse.


4 : do not give any contact information to strangers while on chat.


5 : install good antivirus and internet security on your computer. I suggest norton. if you need a free one Avast antivirus is better. dont use Avg.


6: Recently there was an email coming to most of us regarding a job offering in canada or london. they are scam and don't reply to it. never reply to an email coming with subject bank of africa or some one loose there property in Africa and there father saved some money. they need your help to transfer it. never reply to that email.


7 : People using icicibank.com beware there is a phishing website similar to it. look for a lock icon at the bottom right of internet explorer. if there is a lock icon then the website is original. do not give your transaction password or password in icicibank.com or any website. if any one or website or company ask you for password remember they are fraud.


this are general advice I can give you. but remember internet is a world of viruses, spammers, scammers, abusers, frauds and liers. ofcourse there are good people like me and you too. in mouth shut if you see such spammers choose distrust that member and mouth shut will close there id if they recieve few request.


Take care,

Writing reviews - My views !
Sep 28, 2007 03:54 AM 2198 Views

I decided to write my views on review writing in general. But if under any circumstance you do not agree with some point please refrain yourself from killing me.  :-) I couldnt find a better place to write so I am writing it in the Internet abuse section ....lol   :-P


*We all have our views. When we use , meet or see someone , we build up our views on the subject. The ones like us , who cannot keep their views to themselves write reviews  :-D


What is it that a reader likes to read when he reads a review ? Is it just the content mentioning how good / bad a subject is ? Is it the style in which the views are expressed ? Is it a little sence of humour ? Maybe a bit of all of these.


I feel a review generally goes through 4 phases :


*1)  Introduction :


This is an important part of the review. I always like to make my introduction a bit interesting. This is the part where I justify why did I, all of a sudden, feel a review has to be written. I try to be a little funny at times ( by this time you would have realised that I am unnecessarily trying to be funny when by the quality of my statements it wouldnt take an Einstein to know that I am messing it all up .....   **:-| )


*2)  Body :


*This is noticably the most important part of the review. People expect to read why one felt good or bad about a subject in this part.  This is when one has to be a little careful. There might be cases where some people may / may not agree with the writer. It is very important to write all one's points in a way which would educate the reader with all the issues or the good side without hurting anyones feelings. One should not use strong language or go overboard with his views. One should remember people of different sects and culture might read the review .


*3)  Conclusion :



Not everything bad can have nothing good about it or everything good have nothing bad about it. There are always chances of itsy bitsy specs of the opposite side visible in all subjects. This is the portion to mention them. It is imperative to strike the perfect balance as we are just expressing our views and not trying to hurt anyone. People agreeing or not is upto them.


*4)  Accepting Feedback :



This is one of the most important phases of a review which many people forget about. In mouthshut we get it via comments.


The trick is to never get defensive when some one is giving feedback irrespective of whether one feels thats right or not. Just thanking them for their comments and saying you respect their feelings as they should yours.


Giving feedback is also a big responsibility. Feedback is not some good words if you like the review and curses if you do not agree with or are hurt by it. Feedback has to again strike a balance explaining what were the good sides about the review and mentioning some deltas (as I call them) where there is scope of some improvement.


If the review was hurtful in any manner , it should be politely mentioned demanding an apology if necessary. Hurling abuses never gets results ... the process just continues till one gets tired. besides we are all mature literate adults here.


That should sum up my views .


Please feel free to leave your comments and suggestions. ... and thanks for bearing this :-)

Sep 25, 2007 04:27 AM 2234 Views

If you are wondering what my title means, here it is:   "If you don't read this, I will kill you!"(IYDRTIWKY)


This topic didn't have a single review. I initially had planned to write on'Advice on Internet Friendships' but this one sounded interesting. For one, it can be interpreted in different ways:




  1. Concern about abusing Internet or more appropriately'misusing' Internet technology




  2. Advice on abusing fellow netizens in different ways




  3. Advice on protecting oneself against abuse over the Internet






Lets start with interpretation 1:


"Concern about abusing Internet or more appropriately'misusing' Internet technology"


Instance one:


My neighbour asked me the other day why I didn't reply to his scrap on the orkut. I told him that Orkut is banned in our office and at home I don't have Internet connection. I asked him if he could tell me what he had scrapped about.  He said he didn't remember what exactly it was as he scrapped all his 78 orkut buddies everyday and it was virtually impossible for him to remember what he scrapped on each one of them.


*Instance two:


*I am surprised at the fact that while we are online, we are desperate to get offline so that we can come back and tell our online friends what is happening in our lives offline.


Equivalently, we also want to get offline to tell our offline friends about our life online.


I saw a psychologist to free me from this online-offline confusion.


He, philosphically said:


"O Online is Online and Offline is Offline


And never the twain shall meet"


Now, how is THAT possible? I have several online friends and several offline friends. And then I have several Online-Offline friends. I also have some Offline-Online friends. And then, I have some offline-offline friends.


*Instance three:


*There was a huge fracas recently at my workplace. A team member resigned without notice and the management didn't take it well. Immediately a mail was dispatched criticizing the way he had resigned. The guy got worked up, hit the'reply all' button and waited for the next reply to which he was already deciding what to reply. After several mails in our inbox, subjects of  which read like:


Re:Re:Re:Re.Re: X$%^&*(XXXXXXX,


it ended with a freestyle WWF doing the rounds over the official e-mail protocol.


Lets now move over to interpretation 2:


"Advice on abusing fellow netizens in different ways"


In fact this is taking the word'abusing' with positive connotations. The Internet gives everyone a chance to blog(about anything under the sun), slog(late hours), hog(the limelight) and clog(the bandwidth). Now, here is your golden chance to abuse.


If you ever hated your high school teacher for making you write' I would do my homework'  100 times over and are not sure how to take revenge as you don't know whether she is still alive to suffer your sweet revenge, do this.


Join your batchmates group. Ask everyone where Mrs. Breganza has been nowadays. Smile your devilish smile when you have a batchmate telling you that she is in an old age home in Shillong. Don't worry if Shillong is too far away from where you live. Mrs Breganza must be having an Orkut profile for sure. Oh com'on. Even Ganesha is on Orkut.


Found her? Now just scrap this on her account:


"I hate you for what you made me do 27 years ago. Go to hell" - a 100 times over.


Take a deep breath. Feel liberated? Mission accomplished. Congratulations!


Replace Mrs. Breganza with your next door girl who hoodwinked you to marry a business tycoon, or your Boss who doesn't know your various avataars over Internet, the modus operandi is the same. Take any avataar and just give it to them! The enemy won't know what hit him/her.


Finally, the interpretation 3:


"Advice on protecting oneself against abuse over the Internet"


Now, this is actually a serious topic. There has been enough written about it. I have the following piece of advice which may work for you.


Dont take petty accusations, threats and jibes over the Internet too seriously. Ignore it. Laugh it off. Have a sense of humour to counter it. The abuser gets a thrill out of the predictable response he awaits. He logs on to check everyday if you responded. Block him, ignore him, be sporting but never ever REACT.


Now, that doesn't mean you sit and ignore something which really sounds sinister. There is a cyber crime cell for your rescue. There are innumerable online forums where you can report(A Google search took me to abuse.net for example). Increase your awareness.


And last, but not the least, don't make the mistake of making life over the Internet an alternate form of lifestyle. Internet is an just an extension of our real lives where we don't need smileys to smile, e-hugs to embrace and scraps to communicate.


Talk, Hug, Laugh, Sing, Dance, Play .
