FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND SPAM BOMBING - PART I

This was the charge that showed up all of a sudden while our founder was on an international trip. 




What is this APMEX, INC.,?

What is unusual about this transaction? Usually, most of the credit card issuers verify international transactions prior to completing the transactions. There were several times in the past when our founder could not get the first transaction through while on international trips and had to confirm the authenticity of that transaction prior to repeating the same transaction.  Unlike those experiences, this transaction went through first prior to getting the above message. For that matter, our founder had made another transaction later on while on the same trip through another type of credit card, and that particular credit card issuer sent an email requesting for confirmation prior to approving the transaction. Taking this step would have preven…

FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND SPAM BOMBING - PART II

What is Email bombing or Spam bombing? Why are we bringing up this topic in this article? How bad elements exploit this technique to create havoc and confusion?
Spam bombing or email bombing is the method used by bad elements to bombard one's inbox by sending massive number of emails. For example, please see below are images showing how the inbox was flooded with spam emails that numbered to as many as 100+ emails in a short period of time. If not for the timely and immediate action, there would have been even more spam emails. Usually, such bombardment also happens almost at the same time when there tends to be fraudulent charge on the credit card, as was the case with this real example.

Before we jump further into this topic of spam bombing and its relevance to our own experience in the recent times, we would like to share an interesting story whether our search for the topic of spam bombing that incl…

“Research points out that the human brain is approximately 2% at most of human body weight, but consumes 20% of oxygen and 20-25% of energy through glucose metabolism.
That is why I wrote years back on our media site, srikanthkidambi.com, stealing ideas blatantly is like eight-legged freaks feeding on to human brains as seen in the funny horror comedy, Eight Legged Freaks, that came out in the year 2002." - Dr Srikanth Srinivasan Kidambi

IMESSAGE & EYE-PERSONAL Story: SHOULD IT BE A TRADEMARK IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Evidence 1: 

Apple contested our application that was in Google's play store directly with Google, who joined hands to remove our iMessenger/IMESSENGER app from the Google Play Store. As per Apple's legal counsel, they believed that iMessenger would cause likelihood of confusion with Apple's iMessage, though iMessage is an iOS based application, whereas ours was an android based application.

Additionally, IMESSENGER trademark was approved not once, but twice by the USPTO and was the first one in this series dating back to 1999 before other trademarks such as AOL messenger and Instant Messenger came out. Finally after more than a decade, Apple's iMessage was registered. Going by the argument meted out by Apple's legal counsel, it makes us wonder whether iMessage should be a trademark in the first place going by their own legal counsel's argument? What do you think?
