Legalization of Cannabis Story on 'JustPaste.It' Proved to be a Hoax for Invalid Sources

The news of legalization of cannabis and regulation of its marketing in Sweden makes quick inroads into different social networks. The news spread like a jungle fire around the globe through internet and generates mixed kind of reaction.

Hoax Story of Legalization of Cannabis in Sweden

It has been reported on Monday (Dec. 19) that the Swedish Parliament has just approved new legislation which will legalize and regulate the country’s thriving cannabis trade.

The story-cum-news appeared on an Italian website ‘justpaste.it’ indicating that Sweden had bravely forged ahead of its Scandinavian neighbors and legalized cannabis – a source plant of psychoactive chemicals like hashish and hash oil. The news report, referring to Jonas Grönhög on behalf of Health and Social Services of Sweden, said:

“We don't want to make the same mistakes which the USA has done, we do not want to be prohibitionists because the war on drugs has been lost long ago. It is better to prevent marginalization of young people than jail them for soft drugs usage which are comparatively harmless. If we allow the sale of alcohol, there is no reason to ban the soft drugs no longer.”

Cannabis products are going to be available in the pharmacies in Sweden as non-prescription medicine since April 20 in 2012 and customers more than 18-year-old can buy 10 grams at once, the report mentioned further.

However, the story, mentioned its source “420 Dagbladet, Stockholm, December 19, 2011,” can’t not be confirmed anywhere else and apparently have no reality.

Users in the “Sensationalist Headlines” section on the forums of the site FacePunch weren’t fooled for long, and the member who posted the item appeared to have been banned from the site as a result.

The story rapidly buzzed on the cannabis oriented “Trees” section of social media news sharing site Reddit, but as its vagueness and lack of sources to verify it became evident, users voted the story down in almost equal numbers to the up votes.

According to latest numbers at the time of writing these lines; there are 1498 up votes in comparison of 1373 down votes.

And most importantly the comment from a user on Reddit can be served as valid reason to tag this story as HOAX. The user, whatever_idc, writes there:

“I am sorry but what the fuck? I live in central Stockholm and I haven’t heard shit about this?” commented one Reddit user. “I haven’t even heard if there’s a discussion about legalizing it. Looking at the top 5 Swedish newspaper’s websites I see nothing but Saab and Kim Jong-Il.

I’d be happy if someone proved me wrong but there’s no doubt in my mind that these facts are wrong.”

Health Warning Hoax from Dubai Health Authority -- Skin Cancer Caused by Scratch Card Coating

Beware! Its a Cyber World -- Summary:

A health warning message purportedly from Dubai Health Authority is spreading on different social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn. The message, in the form of an image, warned in English and Arabic languages that scratch card coating can cause skin cancer if removed by the nails.

The message is also spreading through email and looks like below:

Health Warning Hoax from Dubai Health Authority

And reads like this ….

“ATTENTION!

Medical research Authority of the US have found that new cancer in human beings caused by Silver Nitro oxide ..

Whenever you buy recharge cards don't scratch it with nails as it contain silver nitro oxide coating and can cause skin cancer ...

Share this message with your loved ones …”

Beware! Its a Cyber World -- Explanation:

This is totally a fake warning and a kind of ‘Hoax Reborn’. The same kind of message made its way on social networks back in July-August this year which proved to be FAKE or HOAX after due research.

Searching the term ‘Skin cancer scratch card’ on Dubai Health Authority just fetched the following results:

DHA Search Result

No results matching your search were found.
1. Check your spelling. Are the words in your query spelled correctly?
2. Try using synonyms. Maybe what you're looking for uses slightly different words.
3. Make your search more general. Try more general terms in place of specific ones.
4. Try your search in a different scope. Different scopes can have different results.

So clearly the message has no validity and should not be given importance more than a HOAX.

"Alien Skull" Discovered in Peru by Renato Davila Riquelme -- Reality or Hoax..??

Peruvian anthropologist Renato Davila Riquelme has discovered the remains of an unidentified creature with a "triangle shaped" mummified elongated skull nearly as large as its 20-inch-tall body in the city of Andahuaylillas in the southern province of Quispicanchi.

"Alien Skull" Discovered in Peru by Renato Davila Riquelme 

The discovery has been creating quite a buzz, and according to Peruvian news site RPP several anonymous Spanish and Russian anthropologists claiming that it cannot possibly belong to any human ethnic groups on earth and thus has come from another planet.

Similar to most ‘evidence’ of outer space species occurrence on Earth, the ‘alien skull’ is extremely humanoid in its resent looks, with standard human-esque features aside from the elongated shape of the skull; while critics of UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) believers have often suggested that the possibility of alien species resemblance with humans so closely is very small.

"Alien Skull" Discovered in Peru by Renato Davila Riquelme

The claims made by RPP seem totally improbable, even as the discoverer Renato Davila Riquelme has stated that the remains are those of a child. So who are these people celebrating the discovery of an ancient alien?

"It has a non-human appearance," a statement from the scientists read. "The head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the boy... yes, it's an extraterrestrial being."

Critics of the “alien skull” maintain that the skull “could be that of a hydrocephalic child or a tribal member who has undergone tribal rituals involving skull modification”, an ancient practice with thousands of years of history. The ritualistic deformation normally starts just after the birth of a child till the next couple of years until the desired shape has been attained or the child rejects the apparatus used to modify the skull. It was practiced generally to signify group affiliation or to demonstrate social status.

On the other hand; THE INQUISITR, presented another theory about this discovery. According to website: 

“Just like every other time an inexplicable artifact surfaces only to be later discredited in a far less high profile news story, a supposed alien skull has allegedly been located in Peru.”

Beware! Here Comes the Duqu Virus after Stuxnet

A computer virus based on Stuxnet has been detected, claimed by Iran yesterday (Sunday, Nov. 13), which is dubbed as Duqu. Stuxnet virus hit Iran’s computers in 2010 and its damages couldn’t still wipe out completely.

Beware! Here Comes Duqu Virus after Stuxnet

Gholamreza Jalali, the head of Iran’s civil defense organization, told the official IRNAnews agency that they were in the starting stage of fighting the Duqu virus. “The final report which says which organizations the virus has spread to and what its impacts are has not been completed yet,” Jalali said further.

News of Duqu unleashed last month, according to Reuters reports, when security software maker Symantec Corp claimed that it had discovered a baffling virus that contained Stuxnet-like code. Duqu is apparently designed to collect data to launch future cyber attacks much easier, experts told Reuters.

Last year’s Stuxnet targeted at damaging industrial control systems and may have cracked some of the centrifuges Iran uses to enrich uranium.

After Stuxnet targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities and other industrial sites last year, the Islamic Republic acknowledged that it had affected a limited number of centrifuges at its main uranium enrichment facility in the central city of Natanz.

However, it claimed its scientists discovered and neutralized the malware before it could cause serious damage.

Cyber Criminals May Try to Cash in Death News of Moammar Gaddafi

As the web world buzzing around with the death news of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi; photos and videos of what appears to be his severely wounded dead body also started circulating on internet and social networking sites – like Facebook and Twitter.

Cyber Criminals May Try to Cash in Death News of Moammar Gaddafi

But I'm writing this to warn you, as I did after the death news of Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs, THINK TWICE before clicking any link that promised to lead you to the exclusive photos/video of dead Moammar Gaddafi; otherwise you can be a victim of internet fraudsters and cyber criminals who are believed to be on hunt behind such global news/incidents.

Like in the past photos or links to photos/videos, including Steve Jobs funeral photos and alleged photos of Osama Bin Laden's dead body, can easily lead you to malicious websites that can harm you by any means.

Normally search engines decide which links are genuine partly by looking at user behavior; but when breaking news like death of Moammar Gaddafi circulates, however, there is no history for search engines to rely on and malicious links masked as news can rise higher in search results.

Another reason is that people often look such pics and photos from unusual sources. Websites or Twitter messages promise to link to a breaking topic and then lead instead to another site or virus. The Gaddafi photo is a prime candidate for this type of malicious links, so it’s wise to use caution when clicking.

THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK -- Cyber/Online Scams Using the Words of Steve Jobs Death and Funeral

Cyber criminals are trying to cash in on the death of Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs by offering tech fanatics, especially Apple-crazy techies, different opportunities to win iGifts (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) for virtually doing nothing but to register. 

Cyber/Online Scams Using the Words of Steve Jobs Death and/or Funeral

While most of the world paid respects and held tributes to Steve Jobs, cold-blooded scammers decided to take advantage of the situation with a brand new ploy. Cyber cowboys are using every platform to exploit internet users searching for the trending news of Steve Jobs’ death and funeral. Few of their tricks have already come in light and cyber security companies are continuously alerting web surfers to beware of such online scams. Some of the activities of internet fraudsters are given below:

·        MacBook Pro Winning Contest: Cyber criminals created an exclusive website stevejobsfuneral.com, which attempts to collect email addresses by tempting internet surfers into a competition to win a MacBook Pro by asking people to enter in a sweepstakes.

Further to the email collection trick, this website has links to an online store selling Apple products. However, the site contains affiliate advertising info that brings revenue for any purchases made through the links.

·        Facebook Scam:  One scam on Facebook purported to offer 1000 free iPads in memory of Steve Jobs, and was posted just two hours after the Apple co-founder passed away on Wednesday, according to web security firm Sophos.

Sophos disclosed jaw dropping results stated that at least 25,000 people from 100 countries had already clicked on the link, which lead them to a survey site that they had to fill out in order to qualify for the nonexistent prizes.

·        Funeral Photos and Video: Kaspersky Lab Researcher Dmitri Bestuzhev said it has found another cyber trap which claims to give chance to see exclusive photos and video footage from Steve Jobs' funeral.

Kaspersky Lab said "this video footage header reads 'The Life, Death, and Legacy of Steve Jobs'". The message says, Kaspersky Lab, added, "Video footage and images will be here uploaded live from the funeral ceremony. Check back each day to see if they are posted".

What to do …??

We have learnt in our childhood that 'Think before you speak' but now in this digital age the first and the last lesson is THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK. 

While stevejobsfuneral.com might be the biggest Steve Jobs-related scam right now but be sure that this is not the last one. You might come across many such traps set by cyber criminals in the days ahead; therefore, be cautious about the links you click, even if they were shared to you by a friend. Always get your news from official websites when possible.

Graham Cluley, senior security consultant at Sophos, advises internet users to look ahead for more scams in the near future, as cyber culprits use social networking techniques to entice users onto pages where they can be trapped into survey scams or may be subject to malware attacks.

Trend Micro has cautioned that there can be several such scams and social network users should not click on similar posts if they see them on Facebook newsfeeds or any other social network, like Twitter, MySpace etc.

Facebook 'Price Grid' Membership Message -- Just a Hoax: Sophos

The cyber world has been getting overpopulated with the Facebook-related hoaxes and rumours since the social networking giant has announced the significant changes to its Open Graph platform, in last week's F8 conference in San Francisco, allowing more sharing than ever before.  

Facebook 'Price Grid' Membership Message -- Just a Hoax: Sophos

Reality of a hoax Facebook message just shared here earlier today while a lot of Facebookers were warned over the weekend against a new scam claiming the Facebook may charge a $9.99 “gold membership" unless users forward a message before midnight.

The message looks like below: 

Facebook Price Grid Hoax Message

And reads like ....

FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO...IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES

The message claims that Facebook just released a “price grid" for membership, including $9.99 a month for Gold Member services, $6.99 for Silver Member services, and $3.99 for Bronze Member services. The message further claims that Facebook will continue to be free “IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT"

This tricky hoax has forced many users into “sharing", posting and re-posting, the message with their contacts and friends, just to save themselves from the charges between $3.99 and $9.99 a month.

Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant in Sophos – a well-known computer security firm, said in a blog post:

“It’s amazing what people will believe when they are sent a message from a trusted friend - but let me assure you, Facebook is *not* going to ask you for your payment when you sign onto the site tomorrow morning. And no, the announcement of Facebook beginning to charge its users has *not* been on the news."

Facebook Start Charging Due to New Profile Changes -- Latest Hoax Message Being Circulated in September 2011

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – Facebook Start Charging Due to New Profile Changes: Summary

A message circulating on Facebook states the social network is going to charge its users due to new profile changes. Furthermore, message asks recipient to repost (copy and paste) it on his/her wall to continue using Facebook for free. In the end, message threatens that the account will be deleted for not paying the charges.

Let’s have a look to the message being circulated on Facebook:

Hoax Message: Facebook Start Charging Due to Profile Changes

It reads like ….

IT IS OFFICIAL. IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES. IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE… … … AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – Facebook Start Charging Due to New Profile Changes: Explanation

The recent message about Facebook start charging after introducing new profile changes is just a kind of 'Reborn Hoax'. Such message made their way on Facebook many times in the past; but all of those messages proved as ‘HOAX’ like the latest one circulating on social media networks, including Facebook and Twiter, since Facebook announces new features in recent F8 conference in San Francisco.

Facebook itself didn’t take too long to kill this Hoax. The company has made it clear that it has no such plans. 

Facebook Sign Up: It's Free and always will be.

"A rumour on the internet caught our attention. We have no plans to charge for Facebook. It's free and always will be," the company posted on its official page on Facebook, that has over 53 million fans. 

In early 2010, the rumour circulated that Facebook will charge its users$14.99 per month. Once again in July 2011 the message with the same wording, like in the most recent message, was being circulated on Facebook. But both of these messages proved HOAX later on.

As soon as I saw the message, I was deadly sure that this is a scam to cheat Fanbox users and members. The popularity of Fanbox is certainly enticing cyber cowboys to utilize their skills in cheating people using this forum. 

Cyber criminals are hunting each and every possibility to exploit innocent internet users and popular forums and platforms are their prime targets.

White Gift Box with Blue Lace/Ribbon - Latest Facebook FarmVille Virus Threat Hoax

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – 'White Gift Box with a Blue Ribbon/Lace' Facebook FarmVille Virus Warning: Summary

Message circulating on Facebook users especially among FarmVille online gamers that warns about the threat of a virus associated with the opening of a ‘White Gift Box Tied Up  with Blue Lace’. Further the recipient is being asked to re-post the message on his/her wall to get aware his/her friends on Facebook.

Facebook FarmVille Virus Hoax: White Gift Box with Blue Lace/Ribbon

Before jumping to the explanation and final conclusion; let’s have a look to the contents of the warning message which looks like the one shown below:

Facebook Virus Warning Message Related to Facebook FarmVille White Gift Box

And reads like ….

ATTENTION !!! EVERY FARMVILLE NEIGHBOR - THERE IS A WHITE GIFT BOX ...surrounded by a blue lace. It says "someone has sent you a gift" ... IT ISN'T BEING SENT BY FARMVILLE !!! IT'S A VIRUS!!! PLEASE DO NOT OPEN.. PLEASE COPY A PASTE THIS ON YOUR WALL SO THAT WE CAN ALL PROTECT EACH OTHER...........Very important KEEP IT GOING 

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – 'White Gift Box with a Blue Ribbon/Lace' Facebook FarmVille Virus Warning: Explanation

The warning message penetrating through the masses on Facebook’s FarmVille Players asking to be careful about a possible virus threat linked with the opening of White Gift Box Tied up with Blue Lace. The message in question is like a re-born Facebook hoax that was earlier made inroads among Facebook users in 2010. 

FarmVille is certainly one of the more popular Facebook applications to spread across Facebook, produced by software company Zynga, the same company which has many other hits on its credit such as Mafia Wars. 

You can imagine the popularity of the FarmVille, as a Bulgarian Councillor was sacked in early 2010 because of his addiction to it. According to TELEGRAPH UK; the proposal to remove Dimitar Kerin from his respective municipal committee came from Todor Hristov, a former member of Kerin’s party, who has argued that Kerin “needs more time for his virtual farm.”

Whatever gains popularity on internet; the cyber criminals try to take advantage of it in the form of scams, spam, and hoaxes as it happened in this case last year and still happening with few changes in the warning message.  

Few of the examples of FarmVille related hoax messages spread last year are given below:

1.      White Gift Box With A Blue Ribbon? Farmville virus or hoax?

Published on Naked Security on 9^th June 2010 

2.      The FarmVille ‘Three Spring Eggs’ Virus Hoax

Published on Virus Experts on March 29, 2010.

3.      Facebook FarmVille Group Hoaxes

Published on That’s Nonsense as on 2^nd January, 2010 

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – 'White Gift Box with a Blue Ribbon/Lace' Facebook FarmVille Virus Warning: Conclusion

Same like last year the current virus warning message related to Facebook Farmville has no credible evidence to prove its authenticity. No cyber security company or anti-virus experts have given any hints about such threat. Therefore, the recent message is also a baseless HOAX and should not be re-posted.  

Facebook Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly/Harley A. Andrews Hit by a Car - - Reality or Hoax..??

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly A. Andrews Hit by a Car: Summary

A prayer request message circulating on social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter, about a 5-year-old girl Harly A Andrews severely injured after hitting by a car and currently being treated in intensive care.  

Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly A. Andrews

Before jumping to the conclusion about the reality of this message; let’s have a look the contents of the messages circulating on Facebook.

The message posted on Facebook on August 29 looks like below:

Facebook Message: Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly A. Andrews

And read like ….

ATTENTION ALL MY FRIENDS. TODAY I NEED YOU. I NEED TO SEE THIS MESSAGE ON YOUR WALLS!!! URGENT!!! I ASK FOR A PRAYER FOR HARLY. A. ANDREWS (5 YEARS OLD), SHE GOT HIT BY A CAR IN INTENSIVE CARE. PLEASE POST THIS ON YOUR WALL FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR; I WOULD DO IT FOR YOUR BABY GIRL . LET'S GO FOR A MIRACLE!!! IT'S A PRAYER YOU MAY LOSE OUT ON.

Another version of Facebook message read like below:

ATTENTION ALL MY FRIENDS, TODAY I NEED YOU. I NEED TO SEE THIS MESSAGE ON YOUR WALLS!!! URGENT!!! I ASK FOR A PRAYER FOR HARLEY A ANDREWS (5 YEAR OLD), SHE GOT HIT BY A CAR IN INTENSIVE CARE. PLEASE POST THIS ON YOU WALL FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR; I WOULD DO IT FOR YOUR BABY GIRL .LET'S GO FOR A MIRACLE!!! IT'S A PRAYER YOU MAY LOSE OUT ON .I'm always praying for a child in need, hope you feel the same way REPOST FOR A FRIEND

Beware! It’s a Cyber World – Prayer Request for a 5-year-old Girl Harly A. Andrews Hit by a Car: Details

This is the latest prayer request message creeping up on social media networks, like Facebook, Twitter and many others, about a little girl Harly A Andrews, 5, who is in intensive care due to severe injuries she sustained after hitting by a car. The message further asks the recipients to repost the message on his/her wall so that the collective prayers can save Harly A Andrews miraculously.

For those who has came across such ‘prayer request’ hoaxes in the past it is like a ‘Reborn Hoax’ with just change of the name and description of accident which caused to send the child into intensive care. The latest we share here about a 5-year-old boy DiegoMendez who claimed to be sustained severe head injuries due to a TV fell on him.

In fact it is the latest of a growing list of equally unverifiable messages circulating on social media website pleading people to change their statuses in support for a chain prayer.

Like before in such cases; in this specific incident there’s no such credible information available that the incident described in the message bears any kind of reality. Moreover, the message itself didn’t mention that where actually this accident happened and no further details about the hospital are given. These facts making this specific message suspiciously a HOAX.

Therefore; as a final conclusion, it is not appropriate to spread any kind of such message which bears ambiguity and vagueness. One would think that it doesn’t cost him anything (in monetary terms) to re-post the message on his wall; but just think it can cost you your precious time and many others who follow you.
