Member Desk, Inc.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

A recently-released report from the National Retail Federation that predicts a 3.4 percent increase in retail sales this year reinforces the notion that bands and musicians must have an interactive and visually-appealing members-only fan site where individuals can purchase items, view videos, listen to tracks, and keep abreast of the latest news and upcoming event, saying leading membership site software provider Member Desk.

is there a way to make a reverse phone search in the egyptian phone directory?


Question by George K: is there a way to make a reverse phone search in the egyptian phone directory?
I have found this site http://www.140online.com/Telephone_Dir/index_ar2.aspx but i cant use it because its in arabic also i dont know if i have to enter the number backwards in the search box.If you know any other site or serve please answer.I need to find an address in Alexandria.Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by fozio
Hi GeorgeYes, the place actually allows reverse search, unfortunatly, the information is limited to the name of the person who registered this phone and the area where the phone operates. There is no address nor any other information. I am afraid it wont be of much assistance and there is no other way except the yellow pages and the odds of finding the person registered is far fetched. Anyways, I am including a link for Egypt Yellow pages, it has an english section, so life should be easily. It boils down to the person being listed or not.Good luck

Question by : In the UK, if a mobile phone is taken off a student in a school, are teachers alowed to search through it?
One teacher at my school said that they are allowed to search your phone. Another said that they can, as long as they have ‘reasonable suspicion’ that the student has innapropriate media files on the phone or if they have been cyber-bulling other students. Is this breaching the protection of information act? And what would qualify as ‘reasonable suspicion’?

Answer by snpr_117
I think that if they did this, it WOULD be an invasion of privacy, so the law enforcement might have to get involved here if you are not sure. But that is how I think of it.

NOCUBE releases Spanish Mobile Medical App to Empower Patients in their Native Language


NOCUBE releases Spanish Mobile Medical App to Empower Patients in their Native Language

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) July 01, 2011

NOCUBE announces the release of Deficiencia de Nutrientes, a new revolutionary health app, now available on iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch®. Deficiencia de Nutrientes, is a Spanish version of the popular health app Nutrient Depletions™. The only app of its kind! Nutrient Depletions puts patients health first by providing information of key essential nutrients depleted by common medications. Certain commonly prescribed medications will deplete nutrients in the body. Patients can help reverse those effects by replacing nutrients with healthy food sources. Nutrient Depletions provides valuable

Providing information on over 700 commonly prescribed drugs known to deplete the body of its natural nutrients, Nutrient Depletions gives easy-to-use recommendations on nutrient replenishment. Highlighting readily available, natural food sources, this easy-to-use app makes it effortless to maintain proper nutrient levels and optimal health.

“It was important for me to create a Spanish language version of our popular medical app, to empower patients with knowledge astir their own health, in their primary language,” says creator Mary Tamargo. “When health is an issue, language should not be a barrier.”

Taking a cholesterol-heavy medication for long periods of time can deplete folic acid, calcium, and iron. A long-term result of folic acid deficiency can lead to early medical conditions, such as anemia. Folic acid is a B vitamin. Low levels of B vitamins can cause fatigue, irritability and poor concentration. Nutrient Depletions supplied the information needed to restore and replenish this significant nutrient with instinctive food sources rich in folic acid.

“I wish I would’ve known about this years ago,” said pharmacist, Bob Begert at Milex Drugs, Caledonia, N.Y. “I’m recommending it to all my customers to help them have more information about their medications and be able to adjust their diets. For less than the cost of a bottle of a multi-vitamin supplement, my patients can really benefit by learning the potential side effects of their medications.” Begert discovered the benefits of the Nutrient Depletions app when his own physician alerted him to his low blood calcium levels. Nutrient Depletions showed him that his prescribed medications were causing him to lose calcium.

Nutrient Depletions is easy and simple to use! Search by medicine name or category, research a list of nutrients depleted by that medication, and see a list of the food sources you can eat to replenish those nutrients. Nutrient Depletions also allows you to share what you found with your family, friends, physician and patients through an easy in-app email feature.

Nutrient Depletions has gathered the most comprehensive information for your pocket reference from:

    United States Food and Drug Administration     National Institutes of Health     United States Office of Dietary Supplements     National Cancer Institute     United States Dept. of Agriculture     And more!

NumberInvestigator.com: Don?t Fall For The Publishers Clearing House Scam Circulating in The US


NumberInvestigator.com: Don’t Fall For The Publishers Clearing House Scam Circulating in The US

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) July 09, 2011

NumberInvestigator.com, a leading online phone directory and consumer protection service, urges consumers to be skeptical if they receive a phone call notifying them that they have won a large cash prize from one of the nation’s most popular sweepstakes, Publishers Clearing House.

According to a recent article from WBOC, residents have reported receiving calls from callers claiming to be Publishers Clearing House representatives. These ‘representatives’ tell unsuspecting consumers that they have won a large sum of money and in order to claim their prize they must first purchase a “MoneyPak” reload card for $ 200.

MoneyPak cards are a specific type of gift card that are available for sale across the country in retail stores. Once purchased, the cards allow consumers to use them much like a debit cards which are typically used to make same-day payments or add money to existing prepaid cards and PayPal accounts.

Here’s how the scam works; once a consumer purchases the MoneyPak card, they submit the information to the fraudster in order to claim their prize. But, once the information has been transferred the scammer is now able to access the money on the card and quickly drains the $ 200 and disappears, leaving the victim who thought it was their lucky day with an empty wallet.

Law enforcement are warning that the instigators of this scam are using these MoneyPak cards to cheat consumers out of their hard-earned cash in a way that is similar to the recent wave of Western Union wire transfer scams. The major difference is that Western Union scams are typically found online, whereas the Publishers Clearing House scam seems to be run primarily via the phone.

NumberInvestigator.com issues the following tips to help consumers avoid falling victim of this scam:

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t let the excitement of winning overpower good judgment and common sense.     Only people who enter the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes can win a prize. Assume any call that indicates you’ve won a sweepstakes you’ve never entered is a scam and report it immediately.     Publishers Clearing House will never notify winners over the phone, so even people who have entered should be extremely suspicious if they receive a call at home.     Find out more about the number where the suspicious call came from. Using caller ID, take down the ten digit number and use NumberInvestigator.com to find out more information about the caller or business associated with the number, including name, address, and to see if there have been other complaints lodged against the number.     A legitimate sweepstakes will never ask winners to send money to claim a prize.     Report suspicious calls to NumberInvestigator.com. Here, consumers have built a community around reporting and preventing phone scams and fraudulent telemarketing schemes by sharing offending numbers and reports with their fellow consumers.

About NumberInvestigator.com
NumberInvestigator.com is a conducting provider of turning ringing lookup services that enable consumers to simply search an amount, including cell number (where available), landline numbers and VoIP to accurately find the owner of that number. NumberInvestigator.com empowers consumers with a community of users that report and share suspicious or malicious calls and the phone numbers associated with them.

ReversePhoneDirectory.com Offers Support and Education to Protect Public Against Microsoft Phone Scam


ReversePhoneDirectory.com Offers Support and Education to Protect Public Against Microsoft Phone Scam

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) July 09, 2011

ReversePhoneDirectory.com wants to raise awareness of the scam that uses the trustworthy name of one of the largest companies today. The Microsoft name lends credibility, and scammers take advantage of this to gain trust from unsuspecting victims.

Scammers claim to represent the software giant as technicians. The fraudsters guarantee technology fixes, and obtain credit card details for payment. This scam tends to be extremely sophisticated. Victims receive phone calls from people claiming to be “Windows technical support”. Callers have information such as name and address in order to validate their claims. Callers say that they see problems on the victim’s computer, and they will ask if the victim has noticed slowing recently. They then tell the consumer that they want to take over the machine and fix the problems – for a fee.

Victims are then asked for their credit card information as payment to fix the problem.

Unsuspecting targets will not only lose the money for the “payment”, but the credit card information now belongs to the thieves as well. The amounts sought for the “services” from the scammers range from $ 30 up to $ 600. In reality, nothing is wrong with the computer. The targets are even sometimes convinced to buy into a “one-year maintenance plan” offered by the crooks. If this were not enough, this scam allows the thieves access to the victim’s personal computer, giving them the opportunity to damage computers, install spyware, malware or viruses remotely.

Microsoft’s blog advises people to avoid these dangerous hoaxes. “We do not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or fix the computer. If a person receives an unsolicited email message or phone call that purports to be from Microsoft and requests that they send personal information or click links, delete the message or hang up the phone.”

ReversePhoneDirectory.com realizes that tech support fraud is a common scam, and wants to raise awareness of the services it offers to prevent fraud and protect consumers.

ReversePhoneDirectory.com offers the following tips to detect and prevent targets from falling victim to this scam:

Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Microsoft does not offer technical support through unsolicited phone calls. When such phone calls are received, be sure to record the 10-digit phone number that comes up on the Caller ID. Use ReversePhoneDirectory.com to perform a reverse phone lookup to find information about the owner of the phone number, and any public records associated with this number. Never give personal information over the phone. Any phone calls claiming to be Microsoft employees that request personal information such as credit card numbers should be recorded and reported to Microsoft and the Better Business Bureau.

About ReversePhoneDirectory.com

Reverse Phone Directory provides access to the most accurate and up-to-date public records to assist with daily searches for information about people and businesses. ReversePhoneDirectory.com is committed to helping populate live better during technologically advanced clocking, believing that information is a powerful currency and people across the country should have easy access to information about everything and everyone they come in contact with.
