I felt I needed to blog about some recent fraudulent spoof web sites which have popped up using our name (Marilyn Electronics) and our former address (6 Feener Circle, Ranolph MA). Please be warned that these are totally fraudulent SPOOF web sites and they will STEAL YOUR MONEY!
A spoof website is one that mimics a popular company's website to lure you into disclosing confidential information or have you send them money through Western Union for products you will never receive. To make spoof sites seem legitimate, thieves use the names, logos, graphics and even code of the real company's site. They can even fake the URL that appears in the address field at the top of your browser window and the padlock that appears in the lower right corner.
To make sure you're on our site, type in www.marilynelectronics.com and see if you get to the same place and the web site looks the same. If not then the previous site calling itself Marilyn Electronics was SPOOFED and is FAKE.
They will ask you to send them money by Western Union and you will never receive your products. This company has gone so far as to post a Bogus Better Business Bureau logo on each of their FAKE web sites and link to the Marilyn Electronics profile. We are now working with the Better Business Bureau to get that profile updated appropriately and post a warning so that folks will know immediately that they are on a scam web site.
Again, these are SCAM sites and if you have given any of them any personal information or credit card numbers then you should immediately call your bank, credit card company and pull a credit report as these folks are criminals and are just trying to make you a victim of their scams.
Here is a list of web sites that I have found which are TOTALLY FRAUDULENT and purport to be Marilyn Electronics. This may not be the entire list but what I have seen so far:
1. http :// www. eit-team .com
2. http :// www. electronics-team4you .com/
3. http :// www. electronics-4you .com/
4. http :// www. team-4electronics .com
5. http :// www. team-2electronics .com/
6. http :// www. team-elctronics4you .com/
7. http :// www. team-electonics .com/ ** 03/19/10 New **
8. http:// www. electronics-appliances-world .com ** 03/19/10 New **
9. http:// www. unilux-electronics com ** 03/19/10 New **
If you suspect that you have been brought to one of the sites listed above please type in www.marilynelectronics.com and see if you get to the same web site or products. If you can't find the products from the spoof web site then do not give them any of your personal information.
While on Marilyn Electronics you can also always click on the Control Scan Verified Secure logo on the top of the screen to be sure or on the Volusion Secure Site SSL logo on the left hand side of the page. These logos automatically check to make sure you are on the real legitimate Marilyn Electronics site.
Again, I am very sorry if you have been taken by one of these scummy scam artists. I apologize for the colorful language but we are as much a victim of their illegal activities as you are and it just makes me mad!!!. We have worked very hard day in and day out to grow and build our family business for almost 25 years and to be threatened by these criminals just outrages us.
If you have been scammed by these criminals please post your story as a comment to this post so that others can learn from your bad experience. We hope that if we work together you and I can work to defeat these folks before more people are taken advantage of and make the Internet a better, safe place for all.

Alzheimers Disease
By Alfred Patrick
Alzheimers disease robs you of intellectual and social abilities and interferes with regular life. About 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimers Disease. The disease usually affects seniors over the age of 65. As the population ages this number is expected to quadruple.
Memory loss is normal. While it might be normal to become a little forgetful as we age, serious memory loss is not normal. Any severe loss of memory, such as that associated with Alzheimers or other forms of dementia, is not normal under any circumstance.
Namenda comes in tablet or liquid form. dosage starts at 5mg once a day, if you don't suffer with any side effects within 2 weeks, it will be upped to 10mg a day. It can then be upped every 2 weeks until you are taking 10mg twice a day.
During the early stages of alzheimers there are people who will be able to cope very well with the disease but as time progresses, the later stages may prove all too much as the severity of the condition takes its toll and sufferers are sometimes not able to do anything for themselves and become bed-ridden.
The most powerful antioxidant is considered to be OPC's, scientifically known as Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins. OPC's are found in the skin and seed of grapes, and also found in pine bark. Traditionally, OPC's found in pine bark are called Pycnogenol and those found in grapes are called OPC's.
The day to day functions of the person will be greatly affected depending on what stage of the disease they are at. You need to learn about the day to day problems that you can expect to face as a caregiver. This information will give you a better understanding of the realistic capabilities of the patient. Take some time to ask how you can help them to keep their independence and a feeling of control.
Alzheimers can be described as the death of the mind before the Body, and as such is a very difficult and depressing condition for any family to have to deal with. Alzheimers is reckoned to be a fatal disease, but the usual cause of death is normally another illness (like pneumonia) which can develop as a complication in an individual already severely weakened by Alzheimers.
If diagnosed with Alzheimers you must accept the fact that it is serious health issue and take proper care of yourself and body. Don't just take a few pills each day prescription drugs or not. Focus on that your brain has a disease and it is progressive so commit time to tackle the problem and if nothing else lets slow the disease.
Senile dementia is the most common and important form of dementia of the Alzheimer type. The incidence of senile dementia increases with age: 0.4% of the population at 70 years, rising to 5.2% at 90 years. It is important to realize Alzheimers does not simply describe a 'normal' pattern of aging and neuropsychological tests can demonstrate this
The major symptom or indication of Alzheimers disease is the loss of one's memory. Most people over 65, seem to get concerned when they with Alzheimers disease at the first signs of forgetting things. Although forgetfulness is an actual sign of the disease, there are other signals associated with the condition.
