No hoax
I have seen it twice on Fox news on t.v., the official one out of New York. They said they are getting bombarded with phone calls about the number being wrong for that guy.
This is a hoax
Go to Snopes.com.
If you think this is a hoax....
You are sadly mistaken. Do you really think Acusis would notify everyone at once??? They arent stupid. This would mean a lot of the MTs and editors would quit...and then who would work on the accounts that aren't allowed to be sent to India. Just be prepared...your call will come. Then come back and see who will get the last laugh....I can guarantee you...it's going to be Acusis.
that's where I saw the hoax report, too

This is NOT true - it IS a hoax
Here's the link: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/bogus_e_mail
Yep. That's exactly what I was trying to experess; it's a HOAX.
.
Didn't sound like a hoax to me
I called the 888 toll-free number and it WAS the National Do Not Call Registry. I do not find this to be a hoax! I will be asking all my friends and family to do this.
Thanks for the tip!
Hoax junk mail
I finally stopped getting these disgusting e-mails. I e-mailed back with big red letters - "F.... you! This e-mail is forwarded to the FBI, Homeland Security, Interpol, and you are being traced as we speak." I never received another one again.
Got one too and knew it was a hoax because I have no Chase card.
When you don't have a card, you know it's a hoax.
Please check Snopes before posting. This is a hoax & has been out for a while now.

Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
Look it up on the internet
There is all kinds of information for dealing with bipolar people. One thing you probably shouldn't do is inform someone, ANYone, that "there is something wrong in their thinking." How do you know? Are they a friend, acquaintance, coworker? Are you concerned or are they merely interfering with YOUR life?
Much depends on where this person fits into your reality.
Internet
I'm tired - it should say internet. My bad.
If you have DSL internet - please
Please be sure and tell them when then install you!! This is very important because sometimes the DSL can interfere if not connected properly and you will be without protection.
Internet
I would not pay the home office internet price unless they offer something incredible, for example, guaranteedd 24/7 service. My cable internet company wanted me to switch over to business and when I asked what the difference in services was between paying 39.99 per month and 80.00 per month, I was told I would get first priority on service visits. Really, I just kind of laughed at the guy...they wanted me to pay twice as much for a quicker service call (BTW, an average wait for a service call is 24 hours or so anyway).
Anyway, I would not even mention the office use; residential use is the same thing.
Good luck.. Jamie
Internet
Funny you should say that. I have Roadrunner and I was down totally for about 3 hours. I had to reboot my modem in order to get back on.
internet
My husband works for Sprint. They are starting up wireless internet where are you do is plug in the card and you get fast speed internet connection. Some areas have it incorporated already.
I have att&t internet
I can't really complain about the service. I have lost internet service with them twice since last June. It takes maybe a half day to whole day to get it back up. So you lose a day's work pretty much. I was not happy at all the two times I lost service. When the service was down they did not answer phone calls just put on a recording so I couldn't find out when the service would be back on. That made me angry. You set it up yourself. I think they will come set it up for you but I believe they charge. I did mine myself and it really is simple. They send you a disc that walks you through the setup. Basically like installing software on your computer. Besides those two instances I have been very happy with my service. I have actually had less problems with them than any other previous service providers. And when the service was down the next day they emailed an apology saying how very sorry they were for the inconvenience. All in all I am happy.
Internet.
I was put on an ophthamology account; I figured I'd need a book... Nope, I've been using Google and getting by just fine. There are plenty of sites.
Try this site: http://www.mtdownloads.com/
Books are so costly, and yet we can get just as much information from the internet if we search the right sites. I wouldn't buy any books until you start the accounts.
Hmm, really?. Anyone can say anything on the internet...nm

No internet?
How does she look up terms she can not hear clearly or does not understand?
Lie on the Internet?
Anything you see or read on the internet is about to have a 30% chance of being true. In a chat room, that percentage may be even smaller. You can't take to heart.
Internet
If I can't work without it, which I can't, then it's getting a full deduction.
Welcome to the Internet! :D sm
There is at least one troll on every message board. I said, at least. It's how they get their petty little jollies, often behind the curtain of anonymity. Yeah, quite sad, but for them, not for us.
Unfortunately, if I get dissed by a troll, I don't have the grace to just ignore it, but have to give a snappy retort.
So the term "snarking" has replaced the word "flaming" now. I'll have to remember that! Thanx!
Cable vs DSL internet?
I have cable internet service and will be relocating soon to an area that has DSL. Just wondering, since DSL goes through the phone line, is there any electrical involved; or should I say, if the electricity goes out does the DSL stop working. I am wondering, if I invest in a laptop and have DSL also, if electricity goes out, would hardly miss any downtown, with the laptop having battery and all. Is this correct?
Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.
Thanks.
I was looking for internet, but thank you for the help and guidance!!!
Internet address
Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete internet addresses that are seen when you hit the drop down box. I have a bunch of them that aren't valid anymore, and I want to get rid of them. Sorry, I don't know the technical wording, but hopefully you know what I mean. Thanks.
You go to other internet boards and think everyone

OT Regarding kids and Internet
I just got my old computer all fixed and set up for DH and the kids to use. HOWEVER, I was wondering if there were settings in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox so the kids couldn't delete the cookies and history? Only DH or I could do it with a password? Also, does anyone use censoring software, like GuardDog, CyberSitter, or CleanNet, for their kids? I'd like something to block offensive content, but I'd also like to be able to see what they're doing out there IF the need comes up. The younger kids aren't a problem because they only know DisneyChannel or CartoonNetwork. However, my niece had problems with using the Internet too much and meeting older guys. I don't want to resort to keylogging software because I trust my kids and I know they're not doing anything they're not supposed to. It's the "other guy" I worry about with the Internet stalking, peer pressure and that type of thing. The kids aren't allowed in chatrooms, instant messaging or message boards. I do have all their passwords.
internet timing out
Try running your Spyware and virus software - I had virus on my computer that shut the internet down, ran the above software and that deleted the virus. good luck.
Yes, there is on dialup internet. Is that what you use?
Call waiting can also affect it if you don't turn it off in your dialup settings. Before I get technical, do you use dialup, DSL, cable or something else?
Internet shopping
I have to rank in the top ten of Internet shoppers. I have bought more at Amazon.com than most people buy at Wal-Mart. My credit card company sends an end-of-year statement that looks like a booklet! I have never had any problems with Amazon.com. I've bought, books, DVDs, videos, appliances, toys, furniture, you name it. I've never had a shipping problem, and if I had to return anything there were no problems. The only things I haven't bought at Amazon is clothes and perishable items. I have bought clothing and things from Eddie Bauer with no problems.... And then there's all those specialty shops! Bath and Body Works has finally gone to internet shopping! Anyway, you get the idea. Happy clicking!
It's from the internet you idiot

Dial-up internet
Does anybody know of companies who will hire those of us who only have dial-up. We live so far out and cannot get high-speed internet. Every place I have applied says I cannot use satellite or wireless. What's the deal? I was able to get 1000 to 1400 lines without all that. Now I'm aced out. I could use some help.
Quicklook/internet
Lisette: Which internet site do you prefer? Thanks
I use both.. Book first, then Internet
if not in book. Book is sometimes faster, and Internet has SO MANY misspellings so you have to be careful of source. But books are sometimes obsolete right off the press. I find Saunder's Pharm. Work Book (Drake & Drake) the best all around, especially because it gives hospital "solutions" and anesthetics, etc, enteral feeding products.... stuff you won't find in a regular "drug book."
Internet connection
Does anybody use ATT/SBC DSL? If so, how is it?
I have Insight (cable), and I have a problem with no internet connections at least once every 2 weeks and thinking about switching.
Thanks!
internet connection
I have Insight, too, and I'm having a terrible time keeping connected. They have somehow, with their high-tech capabilities, discovered that I use a VPN, and now they are locking me up every document or at least every othe document! The only solution is that I'm going to have to pay business rate as opposed to consumer rate. I don't own a business, just work for an online company out of my home, but Insight doesn't care. They consider it "my" business and now I'm going to have to pay a whole lot more to keep them from locking me up.
Internet connection
Ive been using ATT/SBC DSL for a long time, long before they were bought out by AT&T and were just SBC. I love it! Wouldn't have it any other way. I RARELY have any trouble with it.
Need Internet fax info
I need to fax my cable bill to my company. Anyone know if there is a site which I can do this? I'm using XP, does it have a program. I can't seem to make heads or tails of this and thought someone could lead me in the right direction. I already have my scanner hooked up.
Thanks.
cable Internet.
Cable Internet just recently became available to my area. I was excited because most the MTSOs require cable. I am currently on satellite. I called about the cable internet and they said for a home office it is $80 per month and you only get 10 gigabytes or megabytes (don’t remember which) per month for downloading stuff off the internet. Then you get charged extra. Is this normal for cable Internet? It sounds strange to me but I am not very savvy on these sorts of things.
Anyone use EVDO for Internet or know anything about it?
I purchased my first laptop a couple months ago and have been looking at Internet service for it. I have used dial-up for years with my regular PC. (I only have dial-up available to me where I live.) I called a nearby Sprint store and they put my address in and said I do have coverage in my home/area. I know nothing of this type of connection to the Internet so am wondering what the pros/cons might be.
I will be using it for my on-line job using Emdat's InScribe and I contacted their technical support and they said I can connect to them using this.
We do have a huge cell phone tower within walking distance of our house so I am hoping that Sprint is a part of it as then I should have a great connection where I live. I realize I will not have coverage everywhere I go with my laptop.
The sales person told me I can purchase the card for my ExpressCard Slot for $49.99 and then my unlimited service will cost me $39.99/month for 40 MB. He said I could go higher if I found it necessary but he said he hasn't had anyone but a DJ (who downloaded a ton of music he said) find that they needed more MB than that. Since I currently only use dial-up for my on-line job, I would assume connecting with an ExpressCard up to this rate would work just as well if not better ???
Is there anything I should know/be aware of before doing this??? I will be keeping my dial-up service until the first of the month to be sure this all works out.
Sure would appreciate any feedback as I know nothing of this type of thing. Thanks so much.
I use Stedman's as well as the Internet. nm

You have to be careful on the internet, but...
I have a myspace account, and I have the greatest circle of friends that I met through that site. You have to pick your friends/significant others closely...either on here or out in the real world. You just have to be smart about it.
kids and internet
My kids are 6 and 9, and they are only allowed on certain kids sites for about an hour. I do not even let them check their emails. Nick Jr, Disney, and stuff like that is it, but they are still young right now so its easy to watch where they go.
Kids and internet
My kids are 14, 16 and 19. The 19 year old comes home on the weekends from school with his laundry and laptop. I figure at his age, he has seen more than I want to know about and what happens at school stays at school.
My daughter is 16 and chats constantly and has a my space account. She doesn't do much surfing, just chatting and I know most of her friends personally and if I ask who she's talking to, she tells me.
My son is 14 and has little or no interest in the computer except for the occasional game, but likes to look at ebay for 4-wheelers, scooters and cars he will never own until he gets a good job. 
We used to have to limit the time for the 2 oldest ones when my son still lived at home fulltime because it sometimes came to blows.
Dialup Internet (sm)
Any MTs left that only have dialup internet available to them? Bellsouth said we would get it in 2-3 years (big wow). I would like to change MT companies but cannot find anyone who accepts dialup internet. I could probably get satellite but I notice many companies won't accept this either. What's a girl to do?
