Surf Report vol. 7: Fighting Internet Fraud
Date :
Wed, 01 Aug 2001 18:32:58 -0400
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the Surf Report. This month I'm writing about
Internet Fraud - do you know where to report Cyber-crime? I
recently ran into the FBI's Cyber version of Elliot Ness at a
software conference. They are doing some great stuff to fight
Internet Fraud.
Also included is news about askSam's new products, the askSam
4.1 Beta (which is now available), the 4.0 Electronic Publisher,
and our special offer of publishing your information on the Web
for FREE. What other companies would charge $100,000 for,
askSam can do for very little. Take the Web Publisher Challenge
and put askSam to the test.
Hope you enjoy this edition and feel free to share this e-mail
with anyone who might be interested, and if you have any
thoughts or comments please e-mail me.
Happy surfing,
Marlinda Bullock
editor@askSam.com
