Preventing online ID theft
Thursday, February 16, 2006
Press Release from http://www.btplc.com/news/articles/:
BT today published a ten-point guide to help prevent internet users becoming victims of the growing threat of online identity theft.
The guide appears in an internet security report published today, written in conjunction with CPP, Get Safe Online, Lloyds TSB, Metropolitan Police and Yahoo! The report highlights the growth of online threats, the current situation and what the future holds.
For instance, 8% of UK PC users fall victim to online fraud and 15% know someone who has been targeted by an internet criminal. However, the report shows that customers are not taking appropriate, available steps to protect themselves - one in ten people questioned, for example, indicated that they would have no qualms about giving their credit card details to an unidentified third party.
"Online identity fraud is a growing and, until now, a silent part of fraud in the UK, which accounted for £1.7 billion last year - £35 per adult per year," explained Ray Stanton, head of security at BT Global Services. "We want to make sure that people are aware of the threat and are protecting themselves online, so they can enjoy the benefits of the internet."
"Criminals are always looking for new and easy ways to make money," explained DCI Stuart Dark at the Metropolitan Police. "Online identity theft and fraud are the latest techniques. By protecting themselves against the growing threat, users are also protecting others, so we urge everyone who uses the internet to follow the ten point guide."

Find niche products on eBay for free
Tuesday, February 07, 2006
If you want to sell on eBay to make some serious money, part of your strategy should be to find what people are searching for, which of these sell at high prices, and sell those items. Luckily there are several ways to do this:
1) most popular eBay search keywords used by eBay UK users - this is exactly as it sounds
2) search completed listings - on this page, enter your search term, and tick the "completed listings" box underneath. This will show you all items that have ended in the past 15 days that match your search query.
Using these two ideas, you can quickly generate a list of possible items to sell. Happy money making!
