Woman Makes Fake Banknotes

Fake banknotes created of computer paper and sticky tape were employed in a Wellington bar by a Palmerston North adult female who has been imprisoned for making the counterfeit $50 and $100 notes.

Tamara Karepa, 32, was accused of six counts of using counterfeited papers, two of breach of bail and breach of community work.

In Wellington District Court, Justice Peter Butler imprisoned Karepa yesterday for 11 months.

The justice said Karepa tried to use a bogus $100 note to purchase shoes in Palmerston North and said to police she had been given the money at the bank.

In Wellington, she passed on over $250 to pay for drinks before bar staff detected the fake bills.

Justice Butler said Karepa had previous sentences, and had been jailed before for like crimes.

Karepa's lawyer, Mark Lillico, stated she had scanned banknotes and then added sticky tape to imitate transparent films on each note.

Alert - Fake Windows Security Center

Another scareware run is using an amazing misleading technique: A fake Windows Security Center.

Check out the pics in this CA Security Advisor Research Blog. This will not install itself unless you run. The fake security center is alike to the actual one except for the signature bad grammar.

The program goes as far as to block off outbound Internet connections in its attempts to get the user to download the "full" copy of WinDefender 2008. This Trojan is also quite hard to uninstall, partially because you can't download a lawful program to remove it. The nagging is so distinctive of scareware and so dissimilar to Windows that it may blow the scam, at least for somewhat knowledgeable users.

With this, as with most malware. once you run it you've fundamentally lost the fight. Don't run executables you don't know are secure.

Fake Paychecks Fraud in Watsonville

A large group of people tried to cash fake paychecks at two small businesses in Watsonville. One of them lost thousand of dollars while a perceptive clerk saved the other.
Fake Paychecks
About 18 people lined up to cash their payroll checks at local store in Watsonville on Friday. It did not seem odd to the cashier because it was a common matter and cash checking is a usual service at the small stores of city neighborhoods.

But the cashier became suspicious after a dozen check were cashed, all from Sun Valley Berries, a Watsonville-based company. He called the company. The company confirmed that the checks were fake. By that time, the business had lost $400 to $500 for each fake check that was cashed.

"It's totally common. It wouldn't be unusual. Everyone got done working, all left the field together to go cash their paycheck," said detective Burton Iles of the Watsonville Police Department.

A second business also was hit Friday, but the clerk discovered the forgeries after noticing the second check that came across the counter had the same name and dollar amount, Iles said.

Winsted School Investigates Fake Gun Incident

Schools administrators continue the investigation of the fake gun incident in the Northwestern Regional High school where a student brought a fake gun to school.

The student has been suspended for ten days. Further disciplinary action against him will be taken at a Board of Education meeting.

"A replica of a gun can be as dangerous as a real gun," Superintendent Clint Montgomery said. "The student showed a tremendous breach of judgment."

The 15-year-old whose name was not released was issued a juvenile summons for breach of peace and was later released into the custody of his mother, police said. He is scheduled to appear in juvenile court Oct. 26.

Students were listening to presidential candidate Ralph Nader speak at the time when administrators found the fake gun and called the police.

Man arrested for making 600 tonnes of fake protein powder

Police arrested a Zhang Yujun from the Hebei province who produced more than 600 tons of fake protein powder on Friday. This is another dangerous revelation after the fake milk case.

Zhang Yujun is a resident of Hebei's Quzhou county. He made the protein powder with the industrial chemical melamine and food additive maltodextrin. He started this activity from September last year in a village near Jinan, the capital of Shangdong.

Zhang's learning began in his dairy farm in Hebei. Here, he became a master of making fake protein powder. Using the name Zhang Haitao, he made the fake protein powder on an industrial scale in Shangdong.

Melamine, is a dangerous substance which can lead to urinary tract problems such as kidney stones. It was only a few days ago that melamine was found in a baby formula produced by Sanlu group based in Hebei.

Botanist Heslop-Harrison’s Rare Plants Discovery is a Fake

Professor John Heslop-Harrison who claimed to have discovered rare plants was labelled as fake by his fellow peers.

Professor John Heslop-Harrison, formerly of Newcastle University, led scientific expeditions to the Isle of Rum in Scotland in the 1940s. He claimed to have found unusual Arctic alpine plants. A finding which led some to wonder if the Ice Age ever reached Scotland.

But the so-called unusual plants were actually grown in Prof Heslop- Harrison’s Gateshead greenhouse, before he replanted them in Scotland.

The scientific scandal was first uncovered by writer Karl Sabbagh in 1999 — in his book A Rum Affair: A True Story of Botanical Fraud — in which he claimed some colleagues doubted the Newcastle professor’s work and suspected foul play.

David Blaine is a Fake

People are angry with endurance artist David Blaine. They say he is cheating in his stunt to hang upside down for 60 hours.

New Yorkers arriving at Central Park to witness his record attempt yesterday were surprised to find him standing upright, being examined by a doctor.

Blaine had previously pledged to drink through a straw while hanging and to urinate through a catheter, but the amateur video shows him standing and drinking bottled water.

After 15 minutes or so, he returned to hanging upside down. This has led the bloggers who went to view the stunt dismayed.

“This is like being on a hunger strike for 22 hours a day. You know, taking two hours off for lunch and dinner break,” wrote one.

Another said: “I arrived at 9am this morning to find him on the platform, and he stayed there for 20 minutes. I watched the time. And while this was happening, I asked a security guard what he thought about it. He told me, ‘yeah, it's kind of cheap, isn't it?’ I asked him how many breaks he'd seen him take this morning, and the guard told me ‘Three, maybe four, since eight when I arrived.”

Now, the upside hanging star might be hanged straight by the public!

5 Ways to Identify a Fake Pound Coin in an Instant

According to a survey by the Royal Mint, in March this year about two out of every 100 of the 1.47bn pound coins in circulation fake coins. That's around 30m duff nuggets. And if one fake pound coin is in your pocket it is a criminal offence to spend it.

Follow these steps and you will have no trouble in identifying a fake pound coin:

1) The date and design on the reverse should correspond.

2) If the coin does not have the right picture for its year (Gateshead's Millennium bridge in 2007, for example) then it's a fake coin. The same applies to the inscription around the edge. You can check both at royalmint.gov.uk.

3) The milled edge may be poorly defined or the lettering uneven in depth and spacing.

4) If the Queen and the picture are faint, or not the same way up, or if the coin looks smart and shiny even though it has supposedly been jangling around 20 years.

5) Fake pound coins usually do not work in vending machines either, although some might say that hardly differentiates them from the real ones.

Colossal Amount of Chinese Fake Flash Memory

A huge number of fake flash products are very easily available in the Chinese markets, reports a media firm.

A large quantity of “fake” NAND flash is showing up in the China market. The counterfeit products are packaged as finished products, such as memory cards or USB flash drives, from brand-named suppliers, but the fake chips themselves appear to have Samsung Electronics markings on them. It is unclear who and when noticed the counterfeit products, which are usually re-labeled flash cards or drives that are also completely unreliable.

This is hardly the first time when counterfeit products emerge on the emerging markets, however, given that flash memory is now used widely across the world, it can be expected that fake flash products may also be found on well developed markets. For example, re-labeled USB flash drives were sold rather widely through eBay several years ago.

Not only are these a threat to users but they are also pose a grave danger to the manufacturers. These fakes are very cheap and they compete against the normal devices on the market. Since flash-based products usually come in sealed packaging, distributors and computer stores cannot test them all of them, hence, users may easily get faulty devices.

Neither Samsung Electronics nor any suppliers of branded memory cards or USB flash drives issued official statements on the matter.

Two 13-Year Olds Try to Rob With a Fake Gun

Two boys, both 13-years old, tried to rob a 46-year-old man outside his Hollywood Avenue home. They were using a fake handgun.

The man spotted the boys looking at his motorcycle outside his home. He asked them what they were doing. Suddenly, one of them pointed a fake gun towards him and asked him what was in his pockets. He tried to grab the boy but both of them ran away.

The man did not stop; instead, he gave them a chase. He captured one of them and the police captured the other nearby.

Both were then turned over to the Youth Division and charged with first-degree attempted robbery.

The incident has prompted Police Commissioner Edmund Hartnett to schedule a press conference. He discussed the dangers and consequences of using fake guns in the conference.

The Chi-Rho Amulet is Fake

A unique Roman silver cross. The earliest Christian artifact found in Britain. Can it be fake? Yes, many consider it to be so.

And amidst this fracas it was sent for testing.

The Chi-Rho Amulet was found in an early fifth century cemetery in Somerset. It was found in the year 1990. It is regarded as a very important evidence of Christianity in Roman Britain.

A new technique known as ‘inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry’ may help in this case. This technique will determine the exact metallurgical make-up of the amulet. This data will then be compared with data held on other Roman silver. Only then it will be clear if it is fake or not.

60% American Youths Watch Fake News

The Daily Show is the most popular nightly news show in America among the 18-31 age groups.

Experts say that young American adults are more likely to get their political news from the Daily show and its counterpart, the Colbert Report rather than from network programs.

Research has shown that between 48 and 60 per cent of young adults watched fake news shows to get information about the 2004 American presidential campaign.

Though these shows may be humorous they leave their viewers less politically informed which is bad for a democracy and the proper formation of a good point of view and political opinion.

Researchers from Ohio State University found television viewers who watch fake news programs are less informed about issues and candidates in election campaigns than those who watch network news shows.

Young Mie Kim, co-author of the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State., said both news and entertainment promote some knowledge gain, "but people who are exposed to news gain more factual information and learn more about a wide range of important topics than those exposed to entertainment media.

Fake E-mails Purports to be from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

An email arrives from the foundation asking people to go to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation International Training Workshop. The invitations sent by the email looks very inviting and real but alas! there is no such summit or workshop.

People who got the e-mail were told to send a registration fee to Dr. Norman Trevor of Togo in West Africa. The money but would never reach the foundation. The people, those who sent their money, were made a hypnotist’s cock and the scammer’s, now, probably are lavishing under the African sky.

So, be on the lookout for such e-mail and just delete them and warn your friends.
