Great customer service is important no matter what industry you are in. I have purchased some Travel Clothing from SEC/Scottevest and really like their products. On my trip to the Chicago Mid Winter Dental Meeting one of the pull tabs on my TEC Shirt broke. I sent an email from Newark airport about the problem and 2 hours later when I landed in Chicago there was an email response telling me a new shirt would be sent immediately. The next day an email arrived telling me the new shirt had been shipped and included the tracking number. The shirt arrived 2 days after I returned from the meeting (the weekend got it the way). In the package was a return UPS label and bag to ship it back.

Now that is great customer service. No waiting on hold for an RMA number. Perfectly done and it was all electronic. Thanks to Scott Jordan for running a great company and Sherri for making it all happen so effortlessly.

The CEO of Lifelock, Todd Davis, became famous for advertising his Social Security number on television ads and billboards promising his $10 monthly service would protect consumers from identity theft.

The company also offered a $1 million guarantee to compensate customers for losses incurred if they became a victim of identity theft after signing up for the service.

But the Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday that the claims were bogus [.pdf] and accused Lifelock, based in Arizona, of operating a scam and con operation. The commission announced, along with 35 state attorneys general, that it had levied a fine of $12 million against the company for deceptive business practices and for failing to secure sensitive customer data. Of that amount, $11 million will go to refund customers who subscribed to the service. Consumers will receive a letter from the FTC and their attorney general explaining how to take part in the settlement.

The FTC said that Lifelock, which advertises itself as “#1 In Identity Theft Protection,” engaged in false advertising by promising customers that if they signed up with its service their personal information would become useless to thieves.

“In truth, the protection they provided left such a large hole … that you could drive that truck through it,” said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, referring to a Lifelock TV ad showing a truck painted with the CEO’s Social Security number driving around city streets.

A Key logger is a program or application that basically records all the keystrokes from the keyboard and stores the “logs” for later retrieval.
Keylogger is usually keep hidden and you as a computer user will never know that someone is stalking.

You can actually detect keylogger manually, simply by checking the tasks running, running a regular antivirus check, scanning hard drive, running spyware like Spyware Doctor and Super Antispyware. But this is time-consuming and sometimes still compromises your PC.

The best thing to do is to download a specific keylogger detector program. There are some available programs that detect then remove or quarantine keyloggers, but it will cost you $15 to $50. If you want a free download, I suggest you use KL Detector.

KL Detector is free software that detects key loggers, but it doesn’t remove or quarantine the program. However, it still good enough for personal use. KL-Detector V1.3 works for Windows system, particularly Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can download it here.

Ongoing computer scams targeting small businesses cost U.S. companies $25 million in the third quarter of 2009, according to the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Online banking fraud involving the electronic transfer of funds has been on the rise since 2007 and rose to over $120 million in the third quarter of 2009, according to estimates presented Friday at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, by David Nelson, an examination specialist with the FDIC.

The FDIC receives a variety of confidential reports from financial institutions, which allow it to generate the estimates, Nelson said.

Almost all of the incidents reported to the FDIC “related to malware on online banking customers’ PCs,” he said. Typically a victim is tricked into visiting a malicious Web site or downloading a Trojan horse program that gives hackers access to their banking passwords. Money is then transferred out of the account using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system that banks use to process payments between institutions.

Even though banks now force customers to use several forms of authentication, hackers are still stealing money. “Online banking customers are getting too reliant on authentication and on practicing layers of controls,” Nelson said.

That’s bad news for businesses, which are increasingly on the hook for any losses.
