Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.  This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled   'Mail Server Report'

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the   anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it . 

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself  'life owner'. 

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to 
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY

 

So very, very FAKE

The email asks people to click on a link which redirects them to a bogus website that looks similar to the Tax Office website and asks for credit card and personal details.

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said people should always be wary of any unsolicited emails claiming to be from the Tax Office, particularly when they ask for credit card details.

“The Tax Office does not send people emails asking them to provide credit card details.

“Anyone who receives such an email should delete it immediately.

“As an extra precaution we recommend you type internet addresses directly into your internet browser rather than clicking on hyperlinks embedded in emails,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

If people have entered their credit card information on the website, they should report it to their credit card provider as soon as possible.

why that amount of money why isnt it rounded off to $120,000 or $125.000.? it should only come to an amount where it hasnt been rounded off unless its a lottery.

 ps  im in australia so for australian minti members be aware because it is circulating here !

also be wary of emails supposedly sent by your bank my son has been bombarded with them . his bank said they definately havent sent them and to delete without opening

This is a good link to bookmark to keep up to date with new computer virus hoaxes and realities...like the page name suggests....

www.snopes.com/computer/virus/virus.asp

in the melbourne herald sun dated wednesday may 13 2009 on page 17  there is a warning on scam.

apparently "shoppers Saving Centre" is currently under investigation. if you google  it you will see  that it tells you that this particular website is under investigation. new south wales fair trading dept are warning consumers after they received reports that  a scam email  promising people a $500 myer gift card  which may conceal a virus designed to access their bank details 

the article goes on to say that one is asked to take part in a survey to receive the gift card  (myer says it has no association with" shoppers saving centre ") according to participants that took part they didnt receive their $500 myer gift voucher but were redirected elsewhere

im bringing it to ones attention but having said that it is still under investigation so just warning all to be cautious. sometimes people do get it wrong. for example it might have said "you are in the running to receive a $500 myer voucher if thats the case then it changes everything.  thats why it is still under investigation 

anyway i though i would bring it all to ones attention. like i said you can google it .

Hi, I got this email this morning but not sure if these are real but sounds like they could be...

[b]SCENE 1.[/b] 
This is a new one.   
People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they? 
A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker.  After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker. 

Hmm,  'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order. 

Everything looked okay - all cards were in place. 

A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000! 

He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions. 

Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen. 

'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made 

An expired similar credit car from the same bank was in the wallet. 

The thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards. 

[b]Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them. 

How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?[/b] 
$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? 

Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. 

It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one! 
[b]SCENE 2.[/b] 
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. 

The bill for the meal came, he signed it,and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along 

Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket.  Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person. 

He called the waitress and she looked perplexed. 

She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card. 

No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology. 

[b]Verdict: 
Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.  Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away fo even a short period of time. 
[/b]
Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.[b] 

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION![/b][b] 
SCENE 3:[/b] 
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in. 

I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my checking account. 

The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure. 

While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing. 

I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.  Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture. 

He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. 

I then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing. 

He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. 

About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved. 

Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card. 

Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened. 

Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlor. 

All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times. 

Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless. 

Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when yo use your card. 

Be aware of  phones, because many have a camera phone these days.

[/b] [b]
McDonalds, Burger King, Hungry Jacks, Time Zone etc[/b]... [b]All places with ball pits in the children's play area.[/b]

One of my Sons lost his watch and was very upset so we dug and dug in those balls, trying to find his watch.

Instead we found vomit, food, faeces and other stuff I do not want to discuss. 

I went to the manager and raised hell only to find out, the ball pit is only cleaned out once a month.  I have doubts that it is even done that often.

My kids will never play in another ball pit. 

Some of you might not be parents but you may have Nieces, Nephews, Grandchildren or friends with children. 

This will pertain to you too.  As I read the following my heart sank. 
[b]
I urge each and every one of you to pass this on to as many people as you can.   I cannot stress how important this is![/b] 

My name is Lauren Archer, my Son Kevin and I lived in Melbourne, Australia .

On October 2nd, 1999 I took my only Son to McDonald's for his 3rd birthday. 

After he finished lunch, I allowed him to play in the ball pit.  When he started whining later on, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the back of his pull-up and simply said 'Mummy, it hurts.'  I couldn't find anything wrong with him at that time.  I bathed him when we got home and it was at that point when I found a welt on his left buttock. 

Upon investigating it seemed as if there was something like a splinter under 
the welt,  I made an appointment to see the doctor the next day but soon he started vomiting and shaking, then his eyes rolled back into his head.. From there, we went to the emergency room.  He died later that night. 

It turned out that the welt on his buttock was the tip of a hypodermic needle that had broken off inside. 

The autopsy revealed that Kevin had died from a heroine overdose.  The next week the police removed the balls from the ball pit.  There was rotten food, several hypodermic needles, some full, some used; knives, half-eaten sweets, disposible nappies, faeces and the stench of urine. 

Don't think it's just McDonald's either a little boy had been playing in a ball pit at Burger King then started complaining of his legs hurting, he later died too.

 

He was found to have snake bites all over his legs & buttocks.  When they cleaned the ball pit they found that there was a snake's nest in the ball pit, he had suffered numerous bites from a very poisonous snake.

If a child is not safe in a child's play area then where? ? ?

THIS IS TRUE STORY, RING THE BOTTOM NUMBER IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT!! Medical Centre phone number at the end of this story is real. This guy went out on a Saturday night a few weeks ago to a party. He was having a good time and had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like him and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed and decided to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment and they continued to drink, and even got involved with some drug (unknown).

The next thing he knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. He was still feeling the effects of the drugs, but looked around to see he was alone. He looked down at his chest, which had CALL 000 or YOU'LL DIE" written on it with lipstick. He saw a phone was on a stand next to the tub so he picked it up and dialled. He explained to the EMS operator what the situation was and that he didn't know where he was, what he took, or why he was really calling. She advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and he appeared normal, so she told him to check his back. He did, he found two 9 inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back into the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue team over.

Apparently, after being examined, he found out more of what had happened. His kidneys were stolen. They were worth $10,000 each in the black market.Several guesses are in order: The second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least medical students and it was not just recreational drugs he was given. Regardless, he is currently in the hospital on a life support, awaiting a spare kidney. The University of Sydney in conjunction with the Royal Prince Alfred hospital is conducting tissue research to match the victim with a donor.

I wish to warn you about a new crime ring that is targeting business travellers. This ring is well organized and well funded, has very skilled personnel and is currently operating in most major cities around the world and recently very active in Sydney . The crime begins when a business traveller goes to a lounge for a drink at the end of the work day. A person in the bar walks up as they sit alone and offers to buy them a drink. The last thing the traveller remembers until they wake up in a hotel room bathtub, their body submerged to their neck in ice, is sipping that drink.

There is a note taped to the wall instructing them not to move and to call 000. A phone is on the small table next to the bathtub for them to call. The business traveller calls 000 who have been quite familiar with this crime. The business traveller is instructed by the 000 operator to very slowly and carefully reach behind them and feel there i s a tube protruding from the back. The business traveller finds the tube and answers "YES". The 000 operator tells them to remain still, having already sent paramedics to help. The operator knows that both of the traveller's kidneys had been harvested.

This is not a scam or out of science fiction novel. It is real. It is documented and confirmable. If you travel or someone close to you travels, please be careful. Sadly,this is very true. My friend's husband is a Sydney EMT and they have received alerts regarding this crime ring. It is to be taken very seriously. The daughter of a friend of a fire-fighter had this happen to her.

Skilled doctors are performing these crimes! (which, by the way have been highly noted in the Brisbane area). Additionally, the military has received alerts regarding this. I REALLY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SEE THIS AS POSSIBLE SO PLEASE BOUNCE THIS TO WHOEVER YOU CAN.

this was sent to me yesterday, if you know of Moe in Victoria you may find it funny.

Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:50:45 +0000
 
Hurricane Shazza hit Moe in the early hours of 17th November 2008.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering 'Faaackinell'.
 
The hurricane devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of
damage.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were
woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
 
The Moe Times reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Moe.
 
One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a 15-year-old
mother of 3 said 'It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes 
came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two Skye and River slept 
through   it all.'
 
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and 
carried on as normal. The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 
crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals.
 
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found 
large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, 
Jewellery from Kmart, and Bone China from Big W.
 
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
 
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most 
sought after - items most needed include: flannelette shirts, tight blue 
jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg boots and any 
other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.
 
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
 
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked 
beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.
 
Donations of $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue 25s 
and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

I NEVER RECEIVE SCAMS BUT TODAY I RECEIVED THIS SCAM IN MY PRIVATE HOME EMAIL!  I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT ON HOAX-SLAYER BUT I KNOW IT IS FALSE AS IT DOES SOUND REALLY DOGGY AND I DON'T EVEN WONT A MASTERCARD AND WHAT WAS THE INFORMATION THAT I GAVE THEM?????  GAVE WHO???   any one else had this or similar? 

Good day,

I just want to inform you that I have deposited your ATM MASTER CARD of
USD $800,000,00 United state dollars to the TNT Delivery services here
in West Africa, due to I have waited enough to hear from you so  that
your funds will be transferred through CENTRAL BANK OF AFRICA (COA)
here, but because of the late response I now decide to deposit the ATM
MASTER CARD with the tnt delivery services with your previous
information as you listed it that time.

I have paid to them their delivery charges & insurance coverage fee,
the only fee to be paid again is their security safe keeping fee of $150
only.I would have paid that but they said no because they don't
know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

I will be travelling to IRAQ to see my boss and I will not come back
till next month,Therefore I will advise you to
contact the tnt shipment officer with his contact information as
listed below for the avoidiance of increase of their security safe keeping
fee.

Note that I packaged the ATM MASTER CARD inside a magazine where nobody
will notice the content, I also told the shipment officer Mr.Jude Vanna,
that it is ordinary African magazine I want to deliver to my friend
abroad to avoid further delay unless you delay to send their security
safe keeping fee.

Below is the shippment officer contact information including his email
address with the parcel reference number, note that without you
indicating your parcel number as listed below the tnt delivery
services will not listen to you they will be
imagining if you want to steal another persons parcel.

Attention: Dr George moor Shipment Officer Of tnt delivery services
Nigeria.
E-mail: tnt.customerservice07@yahoo.com.hk
Tel: +234 70577 70623
Shipment Code: CPEL/OWN/9876
Parcel Number: EG2272

Also below is the information they need to deliver the ATM MASTER CARD
in form of African Magazine to your address, this is to avoid wrong
delivery as i already gave them your delivery address but you have to
re-confirm it to them ok.

Full name....................
Home address..
Country....................
Telphone...............

Please make sure the information is complete as they promised that once
they receive their security safe keeping fee within 2 to 3 working
days the magazine will arrived your door step according to the shipment
officer.

Once again, the tnt delivery services do not know the content of the
parcel, I registered it as an African magazine they don't know it
contains ATM MASTER CARD inside, this is to avoid them delaying the
delivery and besides I don't want you to lose your
inherittance funds.

Your ATM MASTER CARD withdrewing access pin code number is (0114) take
note, once you receive the card you take it to any cashpoint around your
area and sllotten it and enter the pin code for withdrewal, the amount
you are to withdrew per day is USD$20,000.00. (Twenty thousand United
State dollars) each day. Also ask them on how you are to make the
payment for the security fee to them so they can
effect immedaite delivery on your parcel.

Remain blessed and enjoy your funds.

Thanks.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles..

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.

And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day...

Hi. I am a 29 year old father. Me and my wife have had a wonderful life together. God blessed us with a child too. Our daughter's name is Rachel, and she is 10 years old. Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body.. There is only one way to save her and that is an operation. Sadly we don't have the money for the operation. AOL and Zdnet have agreed to help us. The only way they can help is this:

Hi Mama,
 
I ate a crocodile. I went on the motorbike. I pushed the bikes and bang them into the wall.

I have spaghetti all over my face.

There a motorbike in the cupboard.

Hi Luisa,
 
We are staying open, Yay!!! You are the first parents we told. Yay!!!! We could be ABC or perhaps someone else, but we are staying open.

    1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to '10' of your friends, or sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever,  it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to.
 
The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mails to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers.
 
    2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards.
 
All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is, is a way to get names and 'cookie ' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes.
 
    You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor (PLEASE) by sending this information to them; you will be providing a servi ce to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future!
 
    If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM!
 
    Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound! You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT in the long run. Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's don't make it easy for them!
 
    Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization.   To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition.

What a lovely surprise, it's so cute, I am such a lucky Mumma!

Hi Mum,
 
Today I rode the bikes and played with a crocodile and bikes and motor bikes.

I played with cars, rmmm rmmmm rmmmm rmmm rmmm and they crashed.

I drew a crocodile.

For morning tea I had crocodile.
 
Love from
Jaydee

   
 This  is why I always say I love You .. 


This has not been  broken since  9/11/01, please keep it going..   

This has been kept  alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those who perished this  morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and AA flights,  the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the  innocent bystanders Our prayers go out to the friends and families of  the deceased. 

IF I  KNEW 

If I knew it would be the last time 
That  I'd see you fall asleep, 
I would tuck you in more tightly 
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. 

If I knew it would be the last  time 
that I see you walk out the door, 
I would give you a hug and  kiss 
and call you back for one more 

If I knew it would be  the last time 
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, 
I would video tape each action and word, 
so I could play them back day after day. 

If I knew it would be the last time 
I could spare an extra minute 
to stop and say 'I love you,' 
instead of assuming you would KNOW it. 

If I knew it would be the last time 
I would  be there to share your day, 
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, 
so I can let just this one slip away. 

For surely there's  always tomorrow 
to make up for an oversight, 
and we always get a second chance 
to make everything just right. 

There will l  always be another day 
to say 'I love you,' 
And certainly there's another chance 
to say our 'Anything I can do?' 

But just in case I might be wrong, 
and today is all I get, 
I'd like to say how much I love you 
and I hope we never forget. 

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone 

young or old alike, 
And today may be the last chance 
you get to hold your loved one tight. 

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, 
why not do it today? 
For if tomorrow never comes, 
you' ll surely regret the day, 

That you didn't take that extra time 
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss 
and you were too busy to grant someone, 
what turned out to be their one last wish.   

So hold your loved ones close today, 
and whisper in their ear, 
Tell them how much you love them 
and that you'll always hold them dear 

Take time to say 'I'm sorry,' 
'Please forgive me',  'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.' 
And if tomorrow never comes, 
you'll have no regrets about today. 

Send  this to at least 10 people to show your support 

PLEASE DON'T  BREAK IT!!!!!! 

I looked at a few different bike sites yesterday and emailed some enquiries through on the contact forms they provided...

This morning I received the following emails.  I think they are a bit dodgy myself, I am still waiting for a reply, however I'm pretty sure it is a scam, (or in this case an attempted scam).

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my bike. I sell at this price($4,800) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this bike. Now as a women i don't need. This bike is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request ONLY secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000. The final price that I want for this bike is $4,800 including shipping and handling.If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon!! so I can initiate the deal through eBay.

Have a lovely day.ASAP

Hi Kelly
 
I am VERY interested in this bike.  I actually looked at a few online yesterday and bookmarked them in favourites at home.  I am at work today and can't remember which bike it is exactly, is this the CBR900RR? 
 
I have left my mobile at home, but my work number is ********* and my mobile (after hours now) is 04********.  Are you able to send me a quick picture of the bike or a link to your original add? 
 
Cheers - Luisa
 
PS, We live in Bathurst, but it would be no problem to come and check out the bike, as it sounds well worth it.

I'm really sorry for you but i think is to late for inspection because i'm not in the country for the moment (like you know i just finished the divorce with my husband and i have moved to my parents home in New York for a while.) And ship company already prepared the bike for ship. I want to tell you that is to late for inspection and the only way that we can close this deal is to make me a deposit($4,800) to eBay so i could start the ship. In case that you are still interested please email me your final answer.
I will ship my bike from Darwin (N.T) You will have 15 days from the time you receive the bike to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied for the bike, you will return the bike to shipping company with no xpence. I will pay for shipping.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
 
Thank you!!

Hi Kelly
 
I am not going to initiate payment for the bike as I can't remember the details of the bike.
 
I need to know the following details.
 
1.  The exact model and year of the bike.  (eg CBR 900 /  CBR 954 RR etc)
2.  The registration number and expiry of the bike.
3.  Insurance details... Is the bike covered for shipping?
4.  A photograph of the bike.
5.  Your contact details so that I can talk to you on the telephone about it.
 
Regards
 
Luisa

Also, she kept asking for my full name and address in giant bold red letters... Dodgy!

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2008/10/melamine-milk.html   http://www.independent.ie/world-news/asia-pacific/third-baby-dies-over-6000-ill-in-poisoned-milk-scam-1477313.html    

Make sure you read to the very end - very interesting -
perhaps the best way to tell where things are made....  

China milk poisoning incidents make everyone afraid to look at the daily news report.
Everyday, the reports are changing. No one can clearly tell us what to eat and what not to eat.[b]

1.[/b][b]What really is poisoned milk?[/b]

It is milk powder mixed with 'MELAMINE'

What is Melamine used for?  
It is an industrial chemical used in the production of melawares.
 

It is also used in home decoration. ' US resistant board' [b]We all MUST understand that Melamine is used in INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION  
  - - - - - it[/b][b] [/b][b]CANNOT be eaten[/b][b].

2.Why is Melamine added to milk powder[/b][b]?[/b]

The most important nutrient in milk is protein.
And, Melamine has this same protein that contains 'NITROGEN'

Adding Melamine into milk reduces the actual milk content required,  
and therefore it is cheaper than all milk.   So it lowers the capital required
in the production of milk products.  Therefore it earns the business man more profit!

Below is Melamine; doesn't it look like milk / milk powder?
It doesn't have any smell, so cannot be detected.

3.When was it discovered that it had been added to milk products.[b] [/b]
In 2007,  US cats and dogs died suddenly, they found that pet food from China contained Melamine.

Early in 2008, in China , an abnormal increase in infant cases of kidney stones was reported.
In August 2008,  China Sanlu Milk Powder tested for Melamine Sept. 2008,  the New Zealand government asked China to investigate this problem
Sept. 21, 2008, they found that many food products in Taiwan tested for Melamine[b]

4.[/b][b]What happens when Melamine ingested and digested?[/b]

Melamine remains inside the kidneys. It forms into stones blocking the tubes.
Pain will be imminent and the person cannot urinate. Kidney(s) will then swell.Although surgery can remove the stones, it causes irreversible kidney damage.  
It can lead to the loss of kidney function and will require kidney dialysis or lead to death
because of uremia.

What is dialysis?  In fact, it should be called 'blood washing'; it is filtering all of the body's blood into
a machine and then returning the blood back to the body.
The whole process takes 4 hours; and it is necessary to have dialysis
once every 3 days for the rest of your life.   Why is it much more serious in babies?  
A baby's kidneys are so very small [b]and[/b] they drink a lot of milk powder.  

China currenty has 13,000 infants hospitalized

It does not matter how much Melamine a human being ingested (ate) (took).  
The important point is:    [b]'MELAMINE CANNOT BE  EATEN!'[/b]

If you own or operate a snack bar, a restaurant, or a coffee shops, etc.,
stop selling dairy products for the meantime.

If you have infants at home, change to mother's milk or find other substitutes.

Finally, share this information with friends so they will understand the risk of milk poisoning.

The whole world is very afraid of  "Made In China" [i]'black-hearted'[/i] goods.

Do you know how to differentiate which products are made in
the USA, or in the Philippines, in Taiwan, or in China?
 
Here's How:  
The first 3 digits of the barcode identify the country code
wherein the product was made.

For Example:   ALL barcodes that start with 690, 691, 692,  etc., . .
up to and including 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
Barcodes starting with 471 are printed on products Made in Taiwan.

You have a right to know.  But the government and related departments
never inform or educate the public. Therefore we must educate ourselves,
be vigilant, and RESCUE ourselves.

Today, Chinese businessmen know that consumers will not select products
'Made in China'.  So, they make every effort not to show or state the country
of origin on their products.   However, you can now refer to the barcode.  
DO remember if the first 3 digits are one of those between 690 and 695 inclusive then it is a product Made in China .
OTHER BARCODES:
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Liechtenstein
628 ~ Saudi-Arabia
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
740 ~ 745 - Central America

All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.

Please inform your family and friends.  
Be aware!  And help others to be aware!
