More Spam Controls Please!

Dear Verizon,
Is there any way that you can be proactive on spam controls for SMS?
We have been begging for this in this forum for years now.
I just don't see that this is happening. I have trawled your website and cannot even find a place to report spam.
You allow us to enter 5 numbers that expire in 90 days, but I have so many more messages from spam phone numbers (not email addresses) than that.
Can we block text messages from entire area codes? - Nope
(if so, I need to block area codes  fouronefive and sevenohtwo and twozeronine)
Can we get text messages blocked with the text: 2end reply STOP
(I mean, this is really obvious spam folks)
Can we block messages that advertise Gas cards, Gift cards, get paid for shopping or other such phrases?
Can we block any message with an eightsevenseven or eightsixsix phone number in the text of the message?
This is what I have this month HOW DO WE GET IT TO STOP!?!:

Wow, I'm not sure how you got so lucky to be getting all that....I don't get anything like that?
209 and 415 are area codes close to where I live - I couldn't block all calls from those area codes because I have lots of folks I know and on my contact list with those area codes.  There are lots of legitimate phone numbers in those area codes.
Text STOP to each one.  (Not sure it would help though).  Are you getting charges for Premium messaging on your bill?  Put a block on premium text messaging (you can call CS to do this); it will block a lot and prevent unwanted charges on your bill.
Not sure what else to tell you, but don't give your cell # to anyone you don't want calling you.....
209 is the area code for Stockton, Merced, Modesto, San Andreas and Central California, California
415 is the area code for San Francisco,Sausalito, San Rafael, Novato, San Quentin and the Bay area, California

    Hi,
    Actually Arnavsharma provided a operable method for you. But no luck, it's not invalid.
    Here I also offer you an method you can try.Please delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey :
    Click Start , click Run , type regedit , and then click OK
    Expand the following registry subkey
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
    Delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey
    Note: The parasite zone is a pseudo-graphic number listed before zone number 0. The pseudo-graphic number looks like a miniature upper case "L"
    Close the registry editor
    Thanks!

  • Spam Control doesn't seem to work for 520-336-5675 "Mortgage" Spam Text

    I made a call to Verizon and they can't seem to stop this number from Tuson either. I got the third round of calls in the last few days to three different Family Lines a few minutes ago. Twenty cents doesn't seem like much, but an extra one or two dollars a month mounts up. The message says that they are responding to a request from me, but I don't have a mortgage to re-do!

    Good evening.
    Did you add this number under Spam Control or Call and Message Block?  If you add the Call and Message Block, you will be able to add up to five 10-digit numbers to the block.  This will prevent a number from being able to call or text your phone.  Below I have provided you with the steps to add this block, as well as unwanted numbers.  
    Sign in to "My Verizon" using your [Account Owner] number and do the following: 
    Select  [Safe Guards] tab
    Select [Call & Message Blocking] tab
    Add/ remove numbers
    [Save Changes]
    If you need additional assistance, please send me a Private Message with your 10-digit mobile number.  I will be happy to help you.
    I hope this information is helpful. 
    Thank you,

  • Spam Control in Servlet

    Hi,
              We are trying to build spam control into one of our
              servlets to reject all subsequent requesters if there
              are currently 5 pending requests being served.
              We realize that a servlet with SingleThreaded Mode with
              the SingleThreadedServletPoolSize set to 5 can probably
              serve this purpose. Could someone please confirm that?
              What kind of response will the requester get when a
              server has reached its capacity of 5?
              If we would like the rejection message to be
              application-generated (not WebLogic-generated),
              I guess we have no choice but to create threads
              from within the servlet for that. Any better idea?
              Thanks in advance!
              Regards,
              Howard
              

    In 7.0, just put together a filter. Register a count for the IP address in a
              singleton. Send an error back if you have >5.
              Peace,

  • Spam Control and a Personal Security protector

    I still use my old dinasour, AOL, (don't ask me why), and the Desktop AOL is not compatible with Snow Leopard, so the AOL spam Controls won't work. I can do a workaround by going to the internet and getting into AOL Mail, and do it that way, BUT IT'S A PAIN!!
    Does anyone have a favorite, reliable application I can buy or download that would prevent spam from getting into my email?? I am also looking for a personal security application...
    Suggestions, please?
    Paty

    Hi Paty!
    I'm still using AOL For Mac OSX Version 10.3.7; available from here AOL Downloads For Mac.
    At the bottom of the All-in-One Software column there is a link to legacy software which will start the download immediately.
    It has an excellent Spam filter and maybe will still be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either

    Hi.
    I don't know if this is the right forum for my problem.
    Anyway,
    I have a problem with my Windows Services.
    Each time when I launch Windows Services window, I get a warning:
    One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either:
    1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
    controls on this page, or
    2. you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
    as a result, the page may not display correctly.
    The warning pop-up opens only when I click on Extended tab.
    The problem has nothing to do with IE security, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.
    I have installed Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled it.
    I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. But I presume it is.
    So, may be someone was facing the same problem and knows the cause for it.
    Thanks.

    Unlike the rubbish that was stated before this post, this one works.  This is the solution and Jishnu is brilliant.  Thanks a million, friend.
    Try to follow the KB article (KB907343).
    1.     
    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2.     
    Expand the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
    3.     
    In the right pane, right-click 1200, and then click Modify.
    4.     
    In the Value data box, type either 1 or 0 to overwrite the existing value of 3. Then, click OK.
    Note If you type 1 in the Value data box, you will receive the following prompt when you start Microsoft Project:
    Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?Additionally, you will receive this prompt at other times when you use Microsoft
    Project. If you do not want to receive this prompt, type 0 in the Value data box.
    The values 0, 1, and 3 are associated with the following behavior:
    0 = Enabled, or the action is permitted
    1 = Prompt
    3 = Disabled, or the action is not permitted
    5.     
    Quit Registry Editor.
    IF this does not works try to check the Internet Options..
    Try to reset the Internet Explorer.
    1. Click on
    Start & run.
    2. Type inetcpl.cpl & click
    ok
    3. Click on Advance Tab & click on
    Reset (Make sure to put the check mark on the delete the personal setting for IE8) then again
    reset.
    4. Click
    close.
    This should work.

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

    Hi George,
    What do you mean by, when you claim that the page still runs without your VO (i.e. Just the PG & AM)? Does it means that your webBeans in the page that references the VO Attributes, still comesup with no issues like (VO not found)?
    If yes, then your jdev. project is picking up the VO xml/class files else where from your classpath. Please check your classpath settings and library settings to see where the old file is still available.
    HTH.

    in Safari, certain
    characters like hyphens and apostrophes appear as
    black diamonds with question marks.
    This has nothing to do with fonts. It usually happens when your encoding is set wrong for a specific page. Panther Safari did not show these diamonds, but just displayed nothing, so people get the impression something has changed, but it really hasn't.
    In Safari, I'm using Unicode (UTF-8) as my default
    encoding. Is this setting correct?
    Not if you keep running into pages with black diamonds. It would be better to set your default to Western ISO Latin 1. The black diamonds will probably go away.

  • Tethered shooting - more camera controls?

    It's great to be able to shoot tethered in Lightroom 3, but could more camera controls be included in the tethered panel? At the very least an image rotation tool would be useful; and controls for camera settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance etc would be great.
    Right now I keep having to revert to the kludge method of using my camera's capture tool and having Lightroom auto-import the images from a watched folder when I need these controls.

  • Hi, my iphone 4s shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone is fine, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and no the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

    Hi, my iphone 4s ios 6.0.1 shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone & battery are fine as it holds a charge, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and now the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

    It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else.  If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
    If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If  you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.
