Online information is provided by many resources, most of which require some sort of payment before you can access the data. The problem with this business model is that it puts the information consumer at a serious disadvantage. You’re not really paying for value but rather for access. That means that if you find a database has inadequate information you have little recourse except to accept the expense and move on. That is not fair to you and yet that is how most people feel the Internet is supposed to work. That is crazy!

Before you start handing out your money to strangers you should make sure the information you want isn’t already available for free or at least from a more reputable source of information. For example, you’ll find there is a large supply of criminal database resources made available by state and Federal government agencies. These databases may, in fact, be freely searchable as they are owned by the public already.

When you are in need of background information or criminal records information you want to find reliable background records search resources that will point you in the right direction rather than simply take your money and stick you with sloppy results that may not even be relevant to your query. Background records search is a vital part of doing business today and many people have learned the hard way that not all background records search resources are as reliable as they appear to be.

The best thing you can do when performing background records research is to ask other people who have already managed this task which resources to use and which resources to avoid. Some people will, of course, look online for opinions and recommendations but the throat-cutting competitive world of online marketing makes consumer complaint sites unreliable. Many complaints filed against companies are false, made up either to tarnish their reputations or (allegedly) to extort money from them. In the world of background records search, knowing people who have some experience is very helpful.

“Permission Email Marketing”, the only way to market your business via Email without getting yourself into trouble and giving you the ability to stay in touch and build a ongoing relationship with your customers and/or subscribers.

The only question is… is email still a reliable vehicle to deliver your marketing messages to your potential customers and/or subscribers?

With the rising concerns of SPAM, Blacklisting, Email Filters, and CAN-SPAM laws, it’s getting Harder and Harder for legitimate “Permission Email Marketers” to reach there Target audiences with there Product or Service offers.

The end result is… “Time Wasted” and “Loss of Profits”.

Is your online business suffering from this?

Only you can answer that.

Email used to be the MOST effective form of direct marketing online at one time before everybody started abusing it and there guidelines.

Don’t get me wrong, email still is effective, the question is… how effective?

The benefit to marketing with email was that you were able to get your marketing message infront of your Target audiences within a matter of minutes with a single click of your mouse, which at one time made MANY marketers “Buckets-Of-Money” literally over night.

Email WAS the answer at that time, but, what’s the solution for the future of “Permission Email Marketing”?

Is there an answer to this rising problem with Email?

I’ll give you three letters… RSS!

Yes, there is a solution for “Permission Email Marketers” and/or for any online business owner who uses email to stay in touch with there customers and/or subscribers and that is RSS(Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication).

RSS is the NEW technology on the block(though its been around for quite some time) and is transforming the Internet and how businesses communicate with there customers and/or subscribers as we speak.

The BIGGEST benefit you’ll receive by incorporating RSS into your online business is… your customers and/or subscribers will receive 100% of your Product and/or Service offers.

I’m going to say that again, “your customers and/or subscribers will receive 100% of your Product and/or Service offers”.

No other online technology offers this benefit.

Just imagine the increased response to your offers, which in turn will convert into more Sales and Profits for you and your online business.

Rest assured, you could sleep at night knowing that your messages are reaching 100% of your Target audience without the worry of SPAM filters mistakenly marking your email as “SPAM” and that all that time you spent putting your offer together didn’t go to waste.

Would you then consider RSS?

I think you would. But, that is just my opinion.

There are many others benefits to using RSS which you can read about in a earlier article I wrote by clicking on this link — http://www.internetwondersezine.com/article_15.html — since there are to many to list within this article.

Things are changing online, so we must change with it and adapt any new technologies we can in order to get the most out of our time and online businesses.

So, with that said, if your a “Permission Email Marketer” and your not happy with the results your currently getting from using “Email”, then you might want to consider switching to “RSS”.

100% delivery rate is unheard of with Email, but, is GUARANTEED with RSS(Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication).

If your identity is stolen, your finances can quickly become a nightmare. A less obvious problem is the effect identity theft can have on your taxes.

Identity Theft

Generally, thieves steal your personal data for the purpose of running up credit card charges or opening and abusing new accounts. A developing trend in the identity theft field concerns schemes impacting your taxes.

Selling Social Security Numbers

Identity thieves have created a new line of business - selling your social security number. Who would want to buy it? The list is surprising long, but undocumented workers, individuals with bad credit and people trying to obtain a new identity lead the list. This can create a huge problem for you since any income paid to those individuals is reported to the IRS as being paid to you. This results in the IRS having inflated income numbers and, often, audits when you “under report” your income.

With the creation of the Real ID Act, better known as the National ID Card, things will only get worse. Under the Act, all workers will be required to submit social security numbers to obtain jobs. With our leaky borders, there will be a high demand for your social security number.

False Tax Filings

It doesn’t take much to file a tax return. What’s to stop an identity thief from filing one under your name to generate a refund? Nothing. To generate the maximum refund, you can be all kinds of frivolous deductions will be claimed. After all, it will be you that has to attend the audit.

What Can I Do?

If you receive a notice from the IRS that leads you to believe someone may have used your Social Security Number fraudulently, you should notify the IRS immediately. Indicators can be found in notices from the IRS that state:

1. More than one tax return for you was filed, or

2. IRS records indicate you received wages from an employer unknown to you.

Don’t hesitate or be nervous about contacting the IRS. The agency knows this is a growing problem and not an “opportunity” to pound on taxpayers.

The little plastic card we call electronic money is convenient and safer to carry around than those wads of cash. Or so we thought…Credit card theft and pretexting has become more rampant in the past years. In the United States alone, where majority of the people have at least one credit card, almost 50% of cardholders report that cards were opened in their names, or that their cards were stolen. The signature is an important specimen in validating the ownership of a card. It is also important to show a picture ID (preferably with the same signature) to the cashier for every transaction made. This will help the cashier to further verify the cardholder’s identity. If your signed card is stolen, the card thief will have to forge your signature before he can use it. And since the signature panel is tamper-evident, he will have a difficult time convincing the cashier, that he was a victim of pretexting, when the signature and his picture ID are checked. There are some people, however, who refuse to sign their cards because they think it would be safer. But it’s not really a valid reason because all it would take for the thief to do is sign the card and make a fake ID with the same signature, and then he’s off to his shopping spree! And what’s even worse is that if an unsigned card gets stolen, the cardholder may be held liable for it because he did not affix his signature at the back! Credit card companies have their own reasons for requiring signatures, to avoid pretexting, the same way that cashiers have when they ask for your picture ID’s. Complying with these requirements will save you a lot of trouble and money wasted.
