Scammers Are Creating Their Own Epidemic Of Spam E-mails

Anchorage, Alaska – April 28, 2009 – Relying on reports from online security experts, Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be on the lookout for fraudulent emails and Web sites trying to take advantage of the current swine flu outbreak.

“Scammers read newspapers, watch TV and surf the Internet and they know that by using a hook from the day’s top headlines, that they’ll be able to catch lots of fish,” said Robert W.G. Andrew, CEO of BBB serving Alaska, Oregon, and Western Washington. “Right now, issues associated with swine flu and a potential pandemic are of global interest and that means scammers have a very large pond to go phishing in.”

According to McAfee Avert Labs, an online security company, spammers began pumping out e-mails as soon as the first accounts of swine flu were being reported in the news, accounting for two percent of all spam messages. The messages include such subject lines as, “Madonna caught swine flu!” and “Swine flu in Hollywood!” The company reports that the e-mails do not contain malware but often link to online pharmacies.

According to F-Secure Corp., another online security company, more than 250 Web sites with the term “swine flu” have been registered within the first few days following the announcement of the outbreak and predict that the scams artists are preparing to use such Web sites in a variety of different online scams. F-Secure also reports that one Web site is already selling a “Swine Flu Survival Guide” PDF for $19.95.

BBB offers the following advice to avoid swine flu scams:

• Avoid opening any e-mail from an unknown source and do not click on any links in the body of the e-mail or open any attachments. Instead, delete the e-mail or report it to the Federal Trade Commission by forwarding the e-mail to spam@uce.gov.
• Don’t believe online offers for vaccinations against swine flu because a vaccine does not exist.
• Consumers are encouraged to check their state’s Department of Health Web sites for updates and further information concerning this issue:
  Federal: www.cdc.gov/swineflu
  Alaska: www.pandemicflu.alaska.gov

Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware software is up to date and all operating system security patches have been installed. If your computer becomes infected as the result of a spam e-mail about swine flu, you can report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

There are several ways to get authoritative information on the currentSwine Flu outbreak. At the state level, check out the Division of Public Health page.

On the national level, see the CDC Swine Flu page.

For a global view of the current outbreak, check the World Health Organization page.

The State of Alaska has had a pandemic influenza plan in place for some time. You can view the plan here.

When reading this plan, please bear in mind that planners often plan for the worst and hope for the best. As of this writing, no confirmed cases of swine flu exist in Alaska. Please see one of the pages above for further updates.

Staff from Alpha Omega Life Care Inc spent three inspiring days at the 3rd Annual Tobacco Summit presented by the Alaska Tobacco Control Alliance at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor Center.

We hold membership in the Coalition. The event was attended by 120 other enthusiastic members from all around the state–cities and villages–and facilitated by a dynamic team of professionals and knowledgeable presenters.

Then, on the weekend, Alpha Omega received a shipment of –count ‘em–three and a half TONS of food for distribution to qualified recipients in the Interior. That caseload has been steadily increasing–little surprise there–and will continue to do so. Fortunately, available food for distribution has increased as well. Alpha Omega Life Care Inc has, as one of several Board of Director mandated missions, that of Hunger Abatement, and is an active member of the Alaska
Food Coalition. We hope that the community is aware that the Agency
receives no wages, salary, or other remuneration for the Hunger Abatement efforts–our personal and professional lives are devoted to service.

On Monday, a committee from the Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education visited and listened to the community comment upon services. We were there too.

On Tuesday, Alpha Omega Life Care Inc and guests attended the Flint Hills Resources Golden Heart Awards 11th Annual Reception, recognizing volunteers in the community. Judith Farrow and Bruce Marden were nominees, and the horse doovers were spectacular!

Alpha Omega Life Care Inc continues to be overwhelmingly busy serving the community. If you are able, stop by the office in order to become acquainted and learn of our service menu–then tell us how much time you are willing to volunteer. Thank you.

Alaskans get bombarded with check fraud scams in the mail.

Anchorage, Alaska – April 21, 2009 – Your Better Business Bureau warns that consumers are receiving fake or stolen checks in the mail. Depositing these checks usually result in the consumer’s money being swiped—not funded.

The check arrives in the mail with a letter stating why the money was received. The letter will go on to say that a portion of the money needs to be returned to the sender or sent to another source via money wire, check or cash to pay for taxes, shipping, fees, etc.

Lucky people who try to deposit the scam check get stopped by a bank teller. However, with better printing and computer technologies, consumers are often able to deposit the check. They normally find out after they’ve transferred funds to the scam artist that the money never comes or the money arrives but is stolen from another person or business’ account. This can put a freeze on the consumer’s account and requires the consumer to pay back the money to the rightful owner, including the funds sent to the scam artist.

Common excuses scammers use to send letters with fake checks:

• Overpayment offers. Consumers or businesses selling an item online or in classifieds are contacted by a buyer and told the buyer will purchase the item and will send extra money to cover shipping costs. The buyer then requests that the seller send or give the extra money to another business or person handling the shipping.
  A new approach to this scam: An Alaska resident contacted your BBB stating multiple people attempted this scam when he tried to sell his puppies through classifieds.
• Lottery, sweepstakes or grant winnings. Consumers are sent a check and letter stating they won a lottery, sweepstakes or grant. It requests that the consumer deposit the funds and send a portion back to pay for taxes on their winnings.
  Recently, consumers are contacting BBB stating they received such a letter from Canada with a check that appears to come from a U.S. business. Remember, it is illegal for U.S. citizens to participate in foreign lotteries. Also, if you did not purchase the lottery ticket, or apply for the sweepstakes or government grant, you should not receive the funds.
• Foreign business or work-at-home job offers. Consumers are sent a check and a letter stating they are receiving an employment offer. The consumer can keep a portion of the money from the check if they do a job, such as secret shopping. In other cases, consumers are under the impression they are working for an overseas company and their checks will come from a U.S. company associated with the employer. But the check overpays the employee, who is instructed to wire overpayment to the overseas company.

Be aware of the above common counterfeit check schemes. Report check fraud to the Federal Trade Commission, 1-877-382-4357, and the Alaska Attorney General, 269-5200. Report postal mail fraud to the United States Postal Inspection Service, 1-800-372-8347. Get a BBB Reliability Report on businesses and organizations before working with them at www.bbb.org or 562-0704.

I regret to inform the Delta/Greely community that due to personal commitments this year I will not be organizing/running the Adult Summer Softball League.

If anyone would like to step up and organize the league I’m sure the community would appreciate it, however I am unable to handle the responsibility this year.

Regretfully,

Fort Greely, Alaska–The Fort Greely Installation Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) will meet at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 20 May 2009, at the City Hall in Delta Junction, Alaska.

The goal of the RAB is to give individuals who represent the diverse interests of the community the opportunity to regularly review progress and interact with the decision makers concerning Fort Greely’s environmental restoration program. The aim is to increase public understanding and the quality of the installation environmental restoration program.

The RAB meetings are held quarterly, are announced in advance and are open to the public.

The RAB assisted with the restoration efforts required by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process from 1995 until portions of Fort Greely were withdrawn from surplus in 2001 to support the U.S. missile defense program. The RAB is now assisting with the Fort Greely installation environmental restoration program.

The RAB membership currently includes: Installation Co-Chair, Lt. Col. Chris Chronis, the Fort Greely garrison commander; Community Co-Chair Stephen Hammond; the Fort Greely garrison commander’s designated representative, Chris Boerst; and community members Dick Anderson, Steve Fields, Pete Hallgren, Tom Miller, Mike Murphy, Carol Stock, and Mary Leith-Dowling. A representative from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation participates in each meeting, as does a representative from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency when possible.

Members of the RAB have committed to a goal of attending all RAB meetings and devoting ample time to review any related Army documents within prescribed time frames.

Public participation on the RAB is strictly voluntary. The Army does not provide financial support to the public members for their services nor are members compensated for work hours lost or time invested.

For more information about the RAB and its activities, call Stephen Hammond at telephone 907-895-5441, see the RAB’s website at www.smdcen.us/rabfga, or call Wayne Tolliver, Fort Greely environmental coordinator, at telephone 907-873-4664.

Army Community Service at Fort Greely will sponsor a Job Fair on June 5, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We are looking for all interested EMPLOYERS to contact David Mintun at 873-2479 and express their interest.

The emphasis for this fair is on Military Family Members and Delta Junction Residents. Please respond by April 24 if your Company is interested in attending.
