Welcome to the new corrupt South Africa

clipper's remarks: Oh, and add to that our future president, Jacob Zuma, who is still facing bribery and corruption charges and was found not guilty of raping an AIDS-infected lesbian. (he assured all South Africans that he was in no danger of contracting HIV because he had immediately afterwards taken a shower)

Life in South Africa is about as surreal as it gets.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
373 in total or approximately 70%
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
its the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT -
(The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line!)

Audio for Sales Pages

clipper's remarks: Use voice over actors on sales pages to increase the level of engagement and improve conversions.

Clip Source: www.internetvoicetalent.com

When someone is reading your sales copy and about to make a purchase, all they really get from you socially perhaps is some cleverly written text that outlines the features and benefits that state why they should go ahead and take their credit card out of their wallet.

You can! By using voice overs.

Every good marketer knows: The medium is the message.

What if you could up the ante and reach those prospects on a heightened, more emotional level?

Voice overs help to build trust and make an instant connection with the people who visit your website.

Is It Worth (& Smart) To Refinance Your Mortgage To Pay Off High Interest Credit Card Debt?

Is It Worth (& Smart) To Refinance Your Mortgage To Pay Off High Interest Credit Card Debt?

We all get that dreaded phone call during dinner at some time or another. It’s a mortgage company calling to see if we want to refinance our home and take out cash to pay off debt. If you are like the average American family, then no doubt you have a substantial amount of credit card debt. The average in this country is $8,500.00 however a large percentage of families carry substantially more. So the question comes to the fore, is it really worth it to allow someone to refinance your home in order to pay off all your credit card debt?

Well to begin you need to look at the interest you will pay on your mortgage versus your credit card. With many people paying upwards of 15% on their credit cards each month versus the 6-8% for a typical home loan, initially it seems that you would be better off going with the refinance option than sticking with the credit cards.

Million bank details sold on eBay

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:03:35 GMT

clipped by: the_anchorman

Clip Source: www.theregister.co.uk

A computer hard disc containing one million sets of bank details was bought on eBay for just £35.

The secondhand PC contained details of customers from American Express, NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland. The files included names, addresses, sort codes, account numbers, credit card numbers, mobile phone numbers, mothers' maiden names and even scans of signatures - more than enough for an identity thief.

IT manager Andrew Chapman paid £35 for the secondhand machine on eBay. Chapman told The Mail on Sunday: "I couldn't believe it. In front of me was reams of extremely confidential information about thousands and thousands of people."

Although dwarfed by government data giveaways like the loss of 25m child benefit records, the data is potentially far more easily exploited by crooks.

A second computer is believed to be missing from the same site - archiving firm Graphic Data. The company said it was trying to find the second machine. ®

Criminals Clone US Credit Cards for $16,000 a Day UK Shopping Sprees

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:39:45 GMT

clipped by: digitalfever

Clip Source: www.money.co.uk

Hi-tech fraud gangs plan to exploit the US’s slow uptake of chip and pin technology by using cloned credit cards to fund wide scale shopping sprees here in the UK.

One gang, exposed by a BBC investigation, are said to have accessed the bank account and credit card details of over 2300 Americans in a single month and were planning to clone these onto fake ‘signature only’ cards to use overseas.

According to the BBC these details were acquired from other US based gangs who had managed to tap the phone lines between a number of banks and cash machines, suggesting that more scams of this nature are likely in the near future.

A Return to the Cash & Carry Economy

The Death of the Credit Card EconomyCar leases, student loans, no-money-down mortgages, and high credit limits are vanishing.

The most revolutionary notion in commerce today is one of the oldest. If you want to buy something, you may actually have to pay for it. We are reverting from a "borrow and buy" economy to the "cash and carry" model of our grandparents.

Will our lives be better when computers run them?

clipper's remarks: Interesting, but also frightening. Can a computer predict your potential? When we all become numbers, what is the mystery of life?

Clip Source: www.businessweek.com

BusinessWeek's 2006 Cover Story, "Math Will Rock Your World," announced a new age of numbers. With the rise of new networks, the story argued, all of us were channeling the details of our lives into vast databases. Every credit-card purchase, every cell-phone call, every click on the computer mouse fed these digital troves. Those with the tools and skills to make sense of them could begin to decipher our movements, desires, diseases, and shopping habits—and predict our behavior. This promised to transform business and society. In a book expanding upon this Cover Story, The Numerati, Senior Writer Stephen Baker introduces us to the mathematical wizards who are digging through our data to decode us as patients, shoppers, voters, potential terrorists—even lovers.
