Another Recruitment Interview Scam. Now in the name of Sony Electronics Limited

by Guest 5/19/2010 1:16:00 PM

Last few months have seen  active mass mails by spammers baiting people

  looking for jobs by offering high paying employment in different companies.

The spammers  bombarded netspace with Interview Offers by email in the name

 of  Sansui Technologies India and later IFB Industries Limited. Due to wide publicity

 given to this fake recruitment, the criminal gang has changed company name in the

 scam mail  to “Sony Electronics Limited” 

In all cases the job description is same. Only the name of  Company, Account Number

  and name of the people and phone numbers are changed! The spammers describe

these companies as coming up with large expansion and hence require qualified manpower.

 Many people have fallen for the scam which asks users to pay certain amount by DD.  

You have to deposit an initial security amount in favor of Company HRD for the sum of

 Rs.6,250/- This is refundable interview security against your interview management by

HRD. Company will pay all the expenditure to you at the time of face-to-face meeting

with you In Company.”  The Scam mail says. 

Its unfortunate that people fall for this scam where the mails are from some third parties

and people collecting money are all crooks operating with fake identities.  

They have created mail ID   ending with digitalbuzz.com instead of using Yahoo or Gmail 

to  make it look genuine. 

The same people may be behind another recruitment scam in the name of GCI Enterprises

which targets lower level staff.  

According to the fake mail which  is being sent to millions in India right now, the fraudsters have

short listed only 24 people for employment at Sony Electronics Limited! But mail goes to millions!

Each person who receives is fooled into believing that he is one of the 24. They fail to understand

that the same mail is received by lakhs of people and many may in fact be sending DDs to the crooks.  The fake recruitment mail ends with

“Mr. Rajesh Gupta
Sony Electronics Limited.
Mobile, CTV and Computer Manufacturing Division G – 82, UNIT – II, MIDC, Industrial Area, Near

Power House, PUNE. - HRD. Contact Nos. – 08954051833, 09528820282”  

Complaints-India, a consumer awareness forum, has cautioned people from making any payment

to any one offering employment. 

 All such recruitment scam mails should be reported to  CBIs Cyber Crime Division: Superintendent of Police, 

 Cyber Crime Investigation Cell  E-Mail: cbiccic@bol.net.in   with Subject as “Sony Recruitment Scam

with Bank Account Number “  

The concerted effort of consumer forums is making these scamsters to change company names,

 account number etc. But the police has to act based on complaints received by them.

Honeypot! Indian Diplomat Does "It" in Pakistan

by Guest 4/30/2010 4:02:48 AM

This is indeed sensational! An attractive Indian Woman Officer  falls for an ISI agent, in Islamabad,  who lays   sexual and money  traps.  She falls for his charms and over 2 long years, turns into a Pakistani Spy, passing  all information that she could gather,  to  Pakistan.

The Indian Intelligence got wind of the matter late and by the time they caught the Spy Queen, she had passed on vital information to Pakistan

 The Indian Agencies, as usual, have been denying that any sensitive information had been passed on. This, while they themselves do not know the what, when where   of it!

The 53 year old   Madhuri Guptha  is  said to be attractive and single. Great combination for ISI and Pakistan’s Intelligence Bureau(IB) to lay a Stag Trap by setting up an ISI agent (untraceable now) named “Rana” to get intimate with her. 

  

Once sexual intimacy grew, it would have been easy for “Rana” to get Madhuri to eves drop and gather information for Pakistan. It speaks volumes about India’s intelligence system that allowed one of its officers to share linen with an ISI agent in Islamabad over two years. When they could not detect these two slithering into bed   for 2 years and having a ball, how could Indian Agencies claim that  “no sensitive information had been passed on”!

According to sources, Madhuri,  had also been receiving large chunks of money,  through “Rana” which she deposited in a Pakistani bank and that the money was then transferred to Indian banks as regular pay offs received from the Inter Services Intelligence.

Its now being widely discussed that apart from various other things,  Madhuri had collected identities of India’s counter intelligence agents deployed in various countries and passed on to Pakistan!   Is that not a State Secret?  It’s a virtual rip-off which totally exposes Indian intelligence gathering system across the world.

Modi Opens IPL Can of Worms! Will the Allegations Stick to IPL and Modi?

by Guest 4/21/2010 2:39:00 AM
It all started with Shashi Tharoor and his girl friend (Sunada Pushkar) when Modi laid bare Kochi Franchisees Share Holding Pattern.  Ms. Pushkar has offered to let go of her seat equity and Tharoor lost his job. Once the Govt. put IT sleuths on Modi’s trail, his detractors who were overawed by the clout he had managed to generate, grabbed the  opportunity  to hit back, by laying bare his wheeling and dealings.

.

 Its common knowledge that everyone in India looks to make a fast buck under-hand. Including those who level allegations. Neither politicians, taxmen or those from media can claim to be angels.  As  long as the curtain is down all are happy with “giving and taking”! 

 Unfortunately, Modi has unwittingly raised the curtain, letting all and sundry to have a ball on the stage!  So what are the charges and allegations currently floating around? Here they are,  for a quick read!   ·         Were the Bids for IPL Franchisees   rigged in 2008 and the rigging allowed Modi’s relatives  to own Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, both of which were grabbed at very low price compared to other teams? ·         Modi’s brother-in-law Suresh Chellaram is the largest stake holder in  Rajasthan Royals with whopping 44.15%  ·         Mohit Burman who co-owns Kings XI Punjab is brother of   Modi's stepson-in-law Gaurav Burman   ·         How did IPL/BCCI’s lucrative contract for digital media distribution to “Live Current Media” go to GCV and  eventually ended up with GCV Mauritius which is run by none other than Gaurav Burman!  ·         How come Akash   Aurora,  a very close friend of  Modi,  manage to get a stake  in Kings XI Punjab.   ·        
How could Akash Aurora mange to get into  “Live Current Media”  through his firm Netlinkblue and form GCV?
 ·         How could Modi object to Ms. Sunanda’s  presence in Kochi team  when he could brush aside allegations of his relatives getting in by statements like “They are all businessmen and they sensed a business opportunity in the  IPL.” And “There is no direct link to prove that I have a vested interest in protecting my son-in-law's interests. What can I do if my son-in-law is a director of a company?"   Obviously, its all fine if relative involved are  that of Mr. Modi?   ·         Who pocketed the $80Million(~360Crores)   commission paid by MSM to WSG after Modi brokered out of court settlement regarding TV and broadcast rights? Did not the money flow  back  to Modi?  ·         What were the sources of funds raised by Franchisees? Were they converting slush black money into white? And was IPL a willing partner in crime?  ·         Has IPL/BCCI recorded all revenue and paid taxes on that?  ·         Were IPL contracts under-stated and hefty kick-backs routed to people involved? ·         Are various contracts being placed on “friends and relatives” by sharing insider information including leaking of bid amounts  ·         Were the US$ 1 Billion Net Worth   and US$ 100 Million Bank Guarantee conditions for 2010 IPL Team bids, set to blank out other bidders and help  Modi’s  business friends Adani and Videocon?  ·         BCCI smelled a rat and diluted the conditions,   which resulted in Kochi and Sahara beating Adani and Videocon.  While, IPL got higher bids, was Modi bent upon trying to get at least one of Adani or Videocon into the IPL league by pushing out Kochi?

ISRO burns US$75Million. India’s First Satellite Launch Vehicle with Indigenous Cryogenic Engine Disintegrates.

by Guest 4/16/2010 1:19:00 AM
Idia’s effort  to launch Geo Synchronous Launch Vehicle ( GSLV-D 3)  with  homegrown cryogenic engine, was undone by massive failure of the cryogenic engine. A successful mission would have  would taken India into the elite club of space-faring nations comprising the United States, Russia, certain European countries, Japan and China who possess the cryogenic technologyThe GSLV flight was to have placed the 2.2 Tonne advanced communication satellite GSAT-4, into Geo Transfer Orbit.  

The 49-metre tall three-stage Geo Synchronous Launch Vehicle blasted off at 4.27pm at the end of a 29-hour countdown but minutes later, the cryogenic engine which was to fire and take control from the initial liquid propellant stage, failed to ignite, resulting in mission failure. The space vehicle tumbled uncontrollably and disintegrated. Obviously, the mission achieved little, except to prove that ISRO has not been able to demonstrate advanced indigenous technologies though millions of dollars of tax payers money is being burned, every year, to support the hugely manned  organization. Within minutes of the historic failure and without even going into the reasons,  ISRO had no qualm in claiming that it will be ready to test again within a year.   ISRO  had invested Rs.330 Crores (Approx US$ 75 Million)  on the Project.  Its not sure whether this includes the fat pay and allowances of the work force. Obviously, since the  tax payers in India seldom ask questions, ISRO need not bother about  fund requirement for the next adventure!   Incidentally Chandrayan1, the moon mission,  had to be aborted several months in advance and it  damaged the country's   space exploration program.  “The 100 million U.S. dollar moon mission survived for only 315days. It was scheduled for two years.   It's a great loss to India's space explorations. The abandoning of the mission has dashed the country's most ambitious effort in space explorations. It was a major boost to the country's space program, particularly with India competing with Asian nations like China and Japan in this field," said space analyst R.K. Roy. Contrary to  ISRO’s explanation that Chandrayaan's orbit around the moon had been raised from 100km to 200km in May this year for a better view of the moon's surface (sic), it was  revealed later  that this had to be done because of a miscalculation of the moon's temperature that had led to faulty thermal protection and eventually the satellite could not be saved, and was virtually “fried” in space.  While critics even within ISRO, confirmed that the mission was a huge failure, the  then chief of  ISRO, Mr Madhavan Nair said  it was a great success. “We could collect a large volume of data, including more than 70,000 images of the moon. In that sense, 95 percent of the objective was completed”. No wonder critics wondering how 95% of mission objectives could be completed with mission surviving less than half its intended life!ISRO had tried to bask in the glory of American payload (moon Impact Probe)  on the mission,  finding water on Moon, claiming all over the place including the national television that Chandrayan found water on Moon! That was like  driver of a truck claiming Nobel Prize since his  truck had carried scientific instruments which was used in research.  ISRO can not brush aside failures (example: Loss of INSAT 4C  and `strap-on' fire mishap suffered by the GSLV D1), camouflaging them as mere technical hitches. The country needs valid answers for the string  failures, which have burned  millions of dollars. Govt. of India should not get carried away by the  technical  jargon mouthed by ISRO. It needs to make ISRO officers accountable for the failures.  Heads need to roll in ISRO.

Meaning of The Buck Stops at My Desk

by Guest 4/10/2010 8:47:00 PM

Many of you must have heard/read about our Union Home Minister Chidambaram's latest statement on Dantewada massacre. He said "Buck Stops at my Desk" and offered resignation to Prime Minister. Prior to this incident he was into verbal war with West Bengal Chief Minister when he said "Buck stops at your desk". For those of you who don't know its origin and meaning, it is an idiom from America.

In the Poker like Card games, Americans used the term buck. Refer to the complete details here: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/pass-the-buck.html. Passing the buck was widely used and became an idiom which signifies denying the responsibility of a situation and passing the blame to someone else.

There is one more famous quote 'The buck stops here' which received lot of publicity when U.S. president Harry S. Truman had kept a sign saying 'The buck stops here!' on his desk. For more details, read this: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-buck-stops-here.html

 

Ministers like Chidambaram and Shashi Tharoor are sure good with their vocab and it is generally a good sign to see leaders use these phrases and idioms. What do you feel about this?

Felt Bangalore Today?Any difference?

by Guest 4/5/2010 1:45:00 PM

Ok, the rain was wonderful, no denying that. This is how it would be when it rains. The wonderful freshness I felt this morning was fantastic. So, what was so great about the rain last night?

Well, along with the feeling of freshness and the usual wonder and beauty of the rain, what I felt today was RELIEF! Yes, it was a big relief! Did you feel that too today

What relief could it be? It was relief from heat. Relief from hot hot Bangalore. Did you feel that? It felt so good to once again walk on the streets of Bangalore and not feel hot or not dash for the shades of trees and buildings to hide under or not get scorched. It just felt wonderful.

Ok, I know it was raining and all. We have seen and enjoyed rain always. But this was different. It was like we were famished, actually starved and then suddenly there is humungous amount of food available for us. I am a real foodie and so such an example is only normal J

Maybe those who travel by AC cars may not understand this. But for those who walk the streets of Bangalore or ride bikes on the streets of Bangalore will understand this.

And then I suddenly realized that the next generation, my children, grandchildren, or maybe even I, may not be able to enjoy the pleasure of the once old Bangalore again. Is it too late? Is the harm done irreversible? Can’t we do anything about it?

The truth is I don’t know. Because I am not an expert and I don’t know who to turn to?

Why can’t we do something about it? Why are we so immune to what is happening around us? Why are we so immune to all the screams from environmentalists?

I want to see the wonderful Bangalore again. I want to feel the joy, the calm and the freshness again. Not just when it rains in Bangalore, but always, as it used to be once upon a time.

So, let us make it happen. What say, folks?

And if you are asking me what has to be done to make a change. I am not so sure myself, because, again, I am not an expert. I just know we are making a mess and that we have to turn the tide around.

I can give a few pointers for starters, maybe, no I am sure, others can give great ideas they have.

- Save energy...do not waste energy...do not switch on electrical stuff unnecessarily.
- Use water efficiently…do not waste water…
You may have a lot of money to pay the electricity or water bill, but that is not the point, let us try not to waste.
- Walk as much as possible for short distances…avoid using pollution bound vehicles whenever possible…or use bicycles or electric vehicles. I really think the use of cycles could be a real boon for Bangalore.
- How about car pooling, using public transport?
- Plant trees whenever possible.
- Do not laugh at people who are giving an effort.
- Ness has taken a lot of initiatives for this. I think we need a concrete list of things we should do, should not do. This list should probably be stuck on each person’s desk. We have an Emergency Contact Numbers list at each person’s desk, I think we also need an “Emergency Steps to a better Bangalore” list stuck at each person’s desk.

Others can give their ideas too

Royal Bank of Scotland - is it a Spam mail?

by Guest 4/5/2010 8:04:00 AM

 

This morning I got a mail from Royal Bank of Scotland with a PDF Attachment of my statement account. Interesting thing to note is, I never had an account with RBS. I received some pishing mails in the past from Bank of America and few others. But those were easy to spot. They asked me to click some link or verify something. All of them were good food for my spam filter.

I was about to mark this as Spam too. But realized that this doesn't ask me to click on any weird links and even states my full name correctly. I curiously verified email headers and found ABN Amro Bank id. I googled a bit and came to know that ABN Amro has been acquired by RBS and legal separation is complete. Probably this is the statement of my ABN Amro Bank.

I just wonder, why don't these big corporates take time and create awareness about what is happening to their customers.. I am sure many others would have clicked that spam button today!
