Cell Phone Surveillance Product Uses SMS/GPRS/Bluetooth

Neo-Call First Cell Phone Surveillance Product to Use a Combined SMS/GPRS/Bluetooth for Information Transfer

Technological upgrades make it less expensive for Neo-Call users to transfer information between cell phones. Contrary to recent press reports about competing software packages, Neo-Call were the first to market with telephone monitoring software and Neo-Call software is neither detectable as a virus nor has been labeled as malware.

Mulhouse, FR  -  September 28 -- Neo-Call, a software package enabling users to monitor calls on a predefined target phone, announces a major upgrade integrating Bluetooth technology: Neo-LOG PRO. Users can eliminate data transfer charges between phones using Bluetooth and can set transfers according to a regular schedule or on request.

Recent press reports chronicling the competing package Flexispy's arrival on the market have cast cell-phone surveillance software in a negative light. M. Malone, spokesperson for Neo-Call, says it's very clear his company's software, not the recently released Flexispy package, was the first on the market. He warns users not to let bad press keep them from evaluating the merits surveillance products for legitimate uses.

"We have been on the market for a number of years and we already released dozens of new softwares," Malone said. "Neo-Call is the world's first that offer free trial period for the purpose."

Neo-Call works in the following way. Users install the software on a target phone and set their telephone number a predefined monitoring number. Whenever someone places a call to or from the target phone, their telephone numbers, voice recordings and text messages can be heard and recorded by someone calling from the phone with the predefined number. The software also provides a means of determining where a cell phone is geographically at a given moment.

"Unlike other software packages, ours does not require a third party intermediary server during data transfer," Malone said.

Neo-Call can be used to check a wayward spouse's phone, see if your teenager is dealing drugs or has fallen in with the wrong crowd, track a stolen car, see if employees are sharing secrets and keep track of members of a sales force, or use as a mobile baby monitor. Users must be careful to know the laws regarding listening to and recording calls because they are responsible for following laws in all jurisdictions where they are using Neo-Call.

Until now, users have been forced to rely on SMS and GPRS transfer to glean data from the target phone. This method results in data transfer charges to the target telephone but not the recipient's telephone. Bluetooth is a much better option for data transfer because neither phone incurs charges. Furthermore, it means data can now be downloaded from prepaid cell phones that have run out of units. Using Bluetooth, all data, including voice recordings, SMS copies, and a call list, are stored on the target phone and readied for a regular daily transfer to the recipient's phone.

To order, visit the company's website at http://www.neo-call.com/index.php?env=-index:m3--1-4-s. Buyers can customize software on the fly and download a package with the selected components to their telephone. Free trial is available at

Anti-counterfeit Drug Analyzer Provides Real-time Analysis

Briefcase-sized Portable Anti-counterfeit Drug Analyzer Provides Real-time Analysis Anywhere, Anytime

ASD Inc. introduces the RxSpec® 700Z -- a powerful new weapon in the Pharmaceutical Industry's war on counterfeit drugs. User-friendly system provides non-destructive, on-the-spot lab quality analysis for field agents from industry, government, and law enforcement world-wide.

Boulder, CO - May 1, 2008 --- ASD Inc. introduces the RxSpec® 700Z anti-counterfeit drug analyzer (
http://www.asdi.com/products-rxspec700z.asp), a lightweight fully-portable lab-quality system contained in a rugged aluminum briefcase. For the first time in history, field agents from industry, government, and law enforcement have the ability to test drugs on the spot, anywhere, anytime, to determine whether the actual pill, rather than the packaging, is authentic or counterfeit. With a much wider spectral range than other market offerings, the system simultaneously analyzes, in mere seconds, all components of the pharmaceutical in question, rather than the active ingredient only -- and because the test is non-destructive, the sample is unaltered and preserved. The system operates on either battery or wall power, and weighs a little less than 23 pounds (10.4 kg). The RxSpec 700Z is the realization of several years of extensive research and development, eight patents, and ASD's solid track record of building drug identification technology.

Counterfeiting and theft within the pharmaceutical industry supply chain range from conservative estimates of $30 billion to more than $50 billion in annual losses to corporations, according to market studies by organizations such as IMS Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, while the extent of pharmaceutical counterfeiting varies among different regions in the world, there is consensus among regulatory bodies that the problem is an extremely dangerous and escalating threat to the health and safety of the world's population. In 2003 the FDA established the Counterfeit Drug Task Force as a new initiative to combat this growing problem. ASD has answered this call to action with the RxSpec® 700Z anti-counterfeit drug analyzer.

"Field agents will find the easy-to-use interface of the RxSpec 700Z quick and intuitive," said Tom Brown, ASD Vice President of Sales and Channel Management. "And because the test takes only a few seconds, the agents will now be able to act more quickly when they have discovered a counterfeit."

ASD will be showing the RxSpec 700Z at the following 2008 events: The Fourth Global Forum on Pharmaceutical AntiCounterfeiting (
http://www.pharma-anticounterfeiting.info/) in Washington DC, June 4-6; Combating Counterfeit Medicines Symposium (http://www.jpag.org/Programme0608.pdf) in London, UK, June 12; Bio International Convention (http://www.bio2008.org/) in San Diego, California, June 17-20; 2008 AAPS National Biotechnology Conference (http://www.aapspharmaceutica.com/meetings/biotec/bt08/index.asp) in Toronto, Canada, June 22-25.

FICO 08 Won't Stop Scammers Targeting Companies Seeking Business Credit Services

Business Credit Services Company Business-Tradlines.com Says FICO 08 Won't Stop Scammers

Business credit services company Business-Tradlines.com comments on business owners seeking investment capital and corporate credit under FICO 08.

Little Rock, AR  -  April 15, 2008 -- Business-Tradlines.com, an online business credit services company, fears FICO 08 will not stop scammers from preying on businesses seeking investment capital. Corporate credit seekers will still face tradeline fraud, despite the good intentions of FICO 08, according to Business-Tradelines.com.
 

"What you should understand about scammers is they prey on desperation. And they are very creative, too. If it's not one form of scam, it's another," says Adam Stevens, Managing Director of Business-Tradelines.com.

The major challenge to small business owners is lack of credit history and thus, a low credit score, if any. This prevents them from taking out a loan or a line of credit. Corporate credit lenders typically only lend large amounts to businesses with good personal credit scores. Business-Tradelines.com offers a program that will allow
small business owners to bypass the FICO credit scoring system and leverage business credit scores into maximum funding.

Scammers who purport to offer business tradelines often guarantee a business credit score of 80 almost instantly. Stevens says the key to knowing if a business tradeline is a scam is the sense of urgency presented on its Web site.

FICO 08, as an updated credit scoring system, completely disregards authorized user accounts in calculating credit scores, Stevens says. This slight adjustment in scoring is expected to affect millions of Americans who are banking on
authorized user accounts to boost credit scores. Stevens fears FICO 08 might just give birth to a new form of scam.

"Aside from tradelines, the only other option for small businessmen is to personally guarantee the loans of their businesses. Now there is a growing awareness of how dangerous this is. We can really expect new
business owners to seek out options other than personal loans and, as I said, scammers can be creative," Stevens said.

About Business-Tradelines.com
Business Tradelines helps take companies to the next level by providing the tradeline resources and business credit services necessary for
business financing. New and existing business owners can learn about the next generation in corporate credit strategies by visiting http://business-tradelines.com/.

Jon Martin, director of IT for SpaceDev comments: "We test rockets at least two miles from civilization, so we usually have no wired connectivity. The Digi Wi-Point 3G allowed us to set up an on an 'on the fly' hotspot so our engineers could send data back to headquarters. It was simply plug-and-play, and we were up and going in 30 seconds. We tried both Sprint and Verizon cards and found that both worked instantly."

"It is ideal for applications such as temporary networks, remote Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile/transportation deployments, disaster recovery, security and more."

The Digi Wi-Point 3G features enterprise class security, including IPsec VPN, WPA2 encryption and a full featured firewall. It also includes GPS support (with qualified PC cards), failover to dial-up modem and auto-detection of the cellular data card for seamless field upgradeability.
