Hassn Al-Bashir's father Omar Al-Bashir's was moved from house arrest to Khartoum's Kobar prison on 17 April 2019, al-Bashir. On 13 May 2019, prosecutors charged al-Bashir with "inciting and participating in" the killing of protesters. A trial for corruption (after $130 million was found in his home) and money laundering against al-Bashir started during the following months. On 14 December 2019, he was convicted for money laundering and corruption. He was sentenced to two years of imprisonment.

On 5 November 2019, the Forces of Freedom and Change alliance (FFC), which holds indirect political power during the 39-month Sudanese transition to democracy, stated that it had reached a consensus decision in favour of transferring al-Bashir to the ICC after the completion of his corruption and money laundering trial. In the following days, Sudanese transition period Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and Sovereignty Council member Siddiq Tawer stated that al-Bashir would be transferred to the ICC for individual criminal responsibility for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed since 2003 in Darfur.

Greetings,

My name Hassan al-Bashir, the last son of former President of Sudan.I know this message will come to you as a surprise based on the fact that we don’t know each other but I need an urgent help for securing the sum of $9.000.000.00 which is currently deposited in a private security company in London.

If you are interested in assisting my family, do get back to me so that I can give more details to you.

Best Regards

Hassan Al-Bashir

The emailer posing as son of the Former President of Sudan is using the history to prove credibility of his email.

This is an email with a nude picture by a so called lady named Dana asking to become friends but also posting a sneaky link to a dysfunctional website https://first-date-love.com/

Hi my name is Dana, I’m 34 years old. Acquainted with a man for generalization and not only
I’m not telling much about myself. I am a lucky person in life, and now I want to find luck in love.
I am confident, artistic and love to be in the spotlight. Friends say that I am the soul of the company.
I am always positive and try t surround myself with the same people. I laugh and smile at
any opportunity. Nevertheless, I know when and where to be serious, and I respect this quality.
in others. I have a lot of interests and to list them all, it will take
too much space. Therefore, I will mention only a few of them: photography and travel
(I would really like to visit Paris and take some great photos),
outdoor activities (boating on the lake can be such a pleasure!),
training (football makes me very, very happy) and shopping (I'm a woman, first of all).
I am faithful and caring. I believe that we must contribute to
society and helping others. This is how I describe myself. At the same time, mine
relatives and friends would describe me as brave, energetic, sociable and very,
very nice. Not quite sure about courage, but they are friends and
close, so they know better, right?
At first I can be shy, but as soon as you know me better,
You will see that I am a good person with a calm character. I am a passionate book lover.
I love movies - no matter what genre. I'm a bit of a bummer spending
a lot of time on the couch in front of the TV, I like to stay at home, read books,
watch a movie or spend your time sitting at the computer ... If it sounds to you,
that we have a lot in common, write me a couple of lines and maybe we
see you one day.
I would like to think that I am resourceful, clearly expressing my thoughts,
intelligent person, but by and large it is up to you. I can speak
on a variety of topics and enjoy a smart and interesting conversation. Optimism and
free spirit are my inherent traits. I'm also a little crazy about healthy
lifestyle. When I think of my partner, I think of a man who
can maintain a conversation, regardless of whether the conversation is stupid or serious.
delicate and unusual.
I am waiting for a man to who I will be interesting and to whom a serious relationship is important.

The last word in the text of the email "important" is hyperlinked to a dysfunctional website https://first-date-love.com/. So either it is someone trying to generate traffic for their website OR just spamming to ask for money later by using porn to attract people.

GMX is a free email service from Germany, while ne.jp is a domain name reserved for Network Service providers in Japan, in this case for ODN, Japan. But the name of the girl "Iryshok" is surprisingly unique and extraordinary. In her email she says her name is Irisha and she is from Ukraine. But for sure she has hacked the email address of Anitta or Nareiko

Spammers are now getting more smart, more personalized, more techy. Anyone can find the name of the owner of a website from many sources available on the web or data brokers. Now they have started to offer a handsome price for buying my website.

Selling a domain is a good exit strategy but you dont have to pay to sell. Ask the question and ask for a phone number. Feel the language and the indifference and the awkward justifications.

I was searching for mobile phone on OLX and came accross his ad. He contacted me on whatsapp for further details. I've been in conversation with him for 3 days related to the company and product details I want to buy. He asked me to pay tax amount in advance and rest amount on cash on delivery. On his suspicious behavior like offering me discounts and cheap price, I've contacted the best buy customer care support and asked them if this person is your company's sales executive. I then came to know he doesn't belong to the company and the products from the bestbuy don't ship to Pakistan. Meanwhile I got alert from OLX that this user has been blocked due to suspicious activities.Timely alert of OLX and bestbuy support saved me from this scam.

Whenever any person tries to contact you personally, kindly make sure if he actually belongs to the company he claims.

Can you imagine they guys wants you to be his partner in stealing a minimum of 300,000 barrels per month to a maximum of 500,000 barrels per month. He thinks people will really believe in him and later after trust based on greed is developed, he can later ask for a small amount to carry out some small re-requisite/ task to finalize the deal.

I make this introduction based on my regard for your credibility. My name is Engr. Abelardo Fernandez. I work with the Sao Tome and Principe national petroleum agency.

To be precise, I oversee the issuance of oil allocation license for our oil company. My position in the agency entitles me to recommend oil allocation bidders and actualize oil lifting and exploration allocation licenses to my candidates based on my interest. I also oversee and approve the issuance of the license for oil allocation in our company and also monitor the lifting procedures in our company.

In July 2007, I facilitated and actualized the license of a candidate. A business man from Korea (Comprehensive details to be provided subsequently).The license was for 1 year at 24 million BBLS/12 months. Incidentally the candidate was no more. The license has been valid till date (as I always ensure that I keep to my side of the bargain), I have decided to begin using the license from October 2018. I am in need of a partner from your country whom I can trust. I will package this partner as the allocation license beneficiary and assign the license to this partner. Due to my position in the petroleum agency, I cannot handle this position. Your profile fits into the criteria of a partner I need. This is why I am contacting you. With the trend of events in Sao Tome and Principe, we shall be able to lift a minimum of 300,000 barrels of BLCO per month. This will fetch us an average of US$28 million per month. And we have from October 2018 up until October 2019 to lift crude oil which will fetch us approximately (12) x (28) Million dollars. Which is approximately 336 Million dollars for the rest of the time of the License allocation? I have ready buyers who are waiting and would be ready to scramble for any number of barrels we lift. Also I will oversee all lifting procedures with the available mercenary around. This is what I propose:

1. Your company profile shall be used in place of the initial license Operator. This I shall handle with my capacity in the company.

2. I will ensure that your company's profile is recognized as the current license operator and that we have a mandate for at least minimum of 300,000 barrels per month, a maximum of 500,000 barrels per month. Starting from Octorber.


3. I will ensure that all lifting procedures are in place and buyers readily available to purchase the product.

4. You shall stand in as the license operator for all lifting and sales transactions; we shall open an account for the receipt of the oil sale proceeds in which both of us shall be signatories to the account or you can provide your personal or company bank account to receive the payments on our behalf.


5. We shall split the oil sale proceeds in the ratio of 60:40 equity shares. I shall be entitled to 60% share while your company shall be entitled to 40% share. Please note: no third party arrangement shall be allowed. I believe you are a man of wisdom and intelligence.


This offer I make to you is based on utmost good faith. I could be Jeopardizing my position in the agency if a word of this goes out.

Therefore without mincing words, I rely on you for utmost confidentiality on every bit of detail relating to this transaction. Please reply this email strictly at engr.abelardofernandez24@yahoo.com

I am in London on official duties at the moment waiting for your response. Upon your positive response, I will be willing to forward to you proof of my proposition and my personal identity. Also I shall fly back to Sao Tome and Principe and from there we shall commence operations. I shall also provide you details of the former


License operator and a copy of the license issued to him for the lifting of crude oil in our company which I personally approved and endorsed. Also procedures for license reassignment and actualizing the rest of the project shall be provided to you.

Please in response to this email, quote the reference number:

Crude oil Lifting License No: ANP/STP-C-0589124

I look forward to a prospective business relationship between us.

When you send this small amount he asks to fulfill a pre-requisite to start the theft, will vanish.

Obviously PayPal has nothing to do with Bolzano, capital city of the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy. But the phishing email seems to be originated from https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.procura.bz.it%2Fdocumenti%2FAuthflow.htm&data=02%7C01%7C%7C101c3188a1b54385fd1908d619f7842b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636724948190135838&sdata=iyv3XBMDa6A8uLxeednEW2eBjM6ltdGH8rx0dlb9wZU%3D&reserved=0. Someone in the city hall has been hacked and spammer is using the address to send spam emails.

Unauthorized activity detected on your PayPal account!

After logging in to your account, we'll guide you through the steps to update your account and be more secure.

To protect your account, we often look for the first signs of potentially fraudulent activity.

Most phishing e-mails prompt recipients for action ASAP; that way, there isn't time to process what you're reading and doubt its veracity. But think about it: How many times have you sent an e-mail that was really urgent? Typically, urgent requests are made by phone or in person, not via e-mail. This is one of the biggest signs of a scam.

Hey hey my awesome pen-friend! This is Kristina. I am Russian and I am thirty-five years old. Just to give you some introduction about my life: I work as a medical assistant at private clinic. I apologize for the discomfort. I don't want to insist but I look for a serious relationship, beginning from Internet and passing to real life. If you have no similar intentions, you better not reply back. If instead you find me pretty and want me to send you my photo or more pictures, just let me know. Id kindly ask you to tell me more about your city and send your snapshot. Hope that this is your real name. Like I said, I only look for genuine relationships and hope to build something meaningful with you! Look forward to your reply, Kristinushok,

1 Don't give out you email unless you want contact from the recipient. Businesses will sell or trade your information.
2. Don't respond to junk mail. Try not to open it, never click on any links or download any attachments. They will set cookies, load trojans or validate your email address if you respond.
3. Move junk to the junk folder rather than just deleting the messages. Use empty to remove them for good. Outlook will learn as you mark things as junk and automatically move more stuff to the junk folder for you.
4. Mark the worst of the junk mail as phishing scams. It wont do any good but outlook will learn quicker that you don't want to see items like that.
5. Change your password. Perhaps someone else has access to your account, changing the password often will help increase security.
6. Delete your browser cache and clear the cookies often.
7. Switch to a different email service with much better spam filtering.

The perpetrators of Advance Fee Fraud (AFF), known internationally as “4-1-9” fraud after the section of the Nigerian penal code which addresses fraud schemes, are often very creative and innovative. A large number of victims are enticed into believing they have been singled out from the masses to share in multi-million dollar windfall profits for doing absolutely nothing.

To your kind attention,
My name is James Ochei, an Accountant Standard Chartered Accra, Ghana.
I write asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds, which I want to
keep under your supervision.
I will be very glad if you do assist me to relocate this fund into
your personal or company bank account, this will be for the benefit of both of us.
More details will be given as soon as you indicate your interest.

Kindly reply with your contact telephone numbers.

Best regards,
James Ochei

Recently many individuals and businesses have been fascinated by the Advance Fee Fraud scam that originates from several countries in Africa and particularly from Nigerian, Liberians and Sierra Leonians. Some Ghanaians have also been involved. In order to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of this scam, please look over the following information:

A few days ago, I registered a domain www.pos.team with godaddy, and all of a sudden, see how much spam I started receiving within the week from web developers through out the world. All emails are offering services for website development.

None

Its hard to not accept that either my data/ information was sold to these developers, or they have access to godaddy systems, or someone in godaddy is leaking information and making money. Nothing one can do about these hackers or big guns like godaddy unless another big gun puts them to task and teaches them a good lesson.

If you try to check, http://guc.co.jp, it asks you to downlaod a VLC video file, who know whats in it. So For sure you wont. GUC means German University of Cairo. Domain co.jp means a company in Japan. The reply to address on the email is alieena.shamlastiova@yandex.com. And the senders email address is yuminako1988@guc.co.jp. The email name is Nice Elinushoka. The email is signed by Elinushok. What an identity crisis happening here.

Hi my great friend. Glad to meet you. You looking so beautiful. I'm looking for a decent man with serious intentions for real love and relationship, i don't need fun and fleeting emotions. My goal to meet a serious man for a joint purpose in life. You can call me Elina, I am 33y.o. I am not married and have no children. What age are you? Even you're younger than me, you can respond to my letter. I see you live? I live in the country name Russia, i hope to get to know each other will not be a big problem. In my letter i sent you my photo, send your photos to my email address, that will allow me to know you better. If our goals are different, please ignore this message. But i hope that our goals are the same and you are looking for a girl, and we will continue our dialogue more closely. With regards, Elinushok.

If you try to check, http://guc.co.jp, it asks you to downlaod a VLC video file, who know whats in it. So For sure you wont.

About a year ago, if your website used godaddy, you will be able to allow users to upload DOCX files via a form etc. Now its been denied. Its a blackmail luring you into buying the dedicated hosting package. The problem is that when you get an error while uploading a DOCX file on any website, the whole website hangs for a few minutes.

There are no responses on godaddy help forum from godaddy. People have been asking and asking...

https://www.godaddy.com/community/Managing-Web-Hosting/Users-unable-to-upload-docx-files-from-form/td-p/56759

Every big gun has a way of being manipulative and get away with it. DOCX is an industry standard and denying DOCX file uploads is ridiculous.

No one will close your account unless you do it yourself

Email scams are probably the most prevalent method of Russian scammers. An email scam is simply a case where some volume operation (could be a man or a woman, and may be in Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, or New Jersey) contacts you by email, engages you in communication, and eventually attempts to bait you into sending money.

Good day friend, from Russia! I suspect ye got time in yours being when thou get very sad. Presently I have myself lonely. My colleague said me that I can write man communication and this disappear I made up one's mind to act. Now tell thou touching me My age is thirty six old. I am 173 centimeters tall. Weight is fifty four kg. I have a kid. Now she is 7 years old. I dream hook pure tenderness and knight of my life. I not have bad habits and do sports. I will tell right now name since too shy. When thou answer me next I will talk my name. If ye do not like to continue after simply say to me nil. Apparently this is my destiny. Waiting for your words, if if you're interested in me!

At some point u will get an urgent plea for money... "My grandmother has taken ill, expensive medicine, bla bla". OR, "I need money for internet bills to be able to keep talking to you." OR "I feel we should meet, can you send me the money to buy the air ticket." The moment the money is sent by you, you lose the love and the promise.

I am receiving emails from girls asking me to be their soulmate, because they are searching for true love and they are tired of loneliness. The desperate tone of this letter would want some to reply.

Woha my awesome mate, Searching for a true love. Would be glad to meet a good man. Looking for a true love. Would you please see my letter. I am looking for a honest man, who will make me happy. I'm thirty-five y.o. How old are you? Even you're younger than me, you can respond to this letter. I'm not looking for an entertainment. I'm not a young girl, I want a serious relationship. I 'd like to be with someone to go to a cinema with, enjoy forest, do things together, or even create a family. I have never done the first move, however I'm tired of loneliness. I'm hoping you're the man who will bring me happiness. My name is Assel. I am from a country called Kazakhstan, Where do you live? I hope you're interested and that you will notice my email. I'm sending you a photo of me. I would like to have your picture too. Looking forward to talking more with you. Asselunushka

The name on the email, the name on the salutations, the alias on the email address, they are all unrelated. The sender can not maintain consistency even in the spam and fraud.

I am sure many people have started receiving these emails, which it seemed had stopped for a while. Love letters with pictures of different Russian ladies, same text same style, only names changed hurriedly, sometimes with spelling mistakes. And if you search the properties of the email, you will find the culprits email IDs. olgaolgaea@gmail.com AND sympsonl@yahoo.com AND chin-pooh.bee-goo@kaz.bbiq.jp

Greetings It's interesting to get to know you. You're a beautiful man. I'm looking for my soulmate with serious intentions for serious love relationship, i'm not looking for entertainment. My goal to meet a serious man for a joint purpose in life. I am Olga, I'm thirty three years. I have no children and not married. How old are you? Even you're younger than me, you can answer to this letter. name of the country where I live Russian Federation, i hope to get to know each other will not be a big problem. In my message i send you my foto, send your photos to my email address, that will allow me to know you better. If our goals do not match, you can ignore this letter. I hope that our goals are the same and you are looking for a soulmate, and we will continue our dialogue more closely. With regards and kiss, Olguska,

Seems to be originating from Kazakhstan not Russian Federation. You can have fun by replying. No link is provided so there are no chances of phishing or losing your identity over filling a form etc. The sender is confident that he/ she can make money off of you in different ways. You will be asked to buy a web cam so you can see her. Maybe send some money so she can buy some medicine for her ill son/ mother etc. Money for Ticket to visit you. She will send you a few semi nude pics so you start believing and start spending.

I have been very upset that my iPhone 6 has slowed down a great deal. My battery was tested and it showed it to be healthy. Think Apple has done this so that it will force you to buy an iPhone 8 or an iPhone X. I do not buy their excuse the new software does not run on the older phones. My iPhone was running perfectly until they slowed it down through a software update and this was originally done without the customer's knowledge. I also learned for the first time today that when Apple does a screen share on your computer they record your computer. As a customer, I don't like the fact you are forced to have your computer recorded if you need to screen share with a tech agent. I don't think any customer wants their computer information recorded. There is no telling what Apple will do with that information. We saw the problems with what Facebook did with their members' information.

Hello....,
we apologize for this problem and we will try to fix it as soon as possible. please try to install the latest ios update? (I did that and the phone became even slower)

Apple is trying to make the old iPhones like iphone6 and iphone7 become slow to force you to buy iPhone x and 10. Don't install any software update if you have iPhone 6 or 7.

http://www.larryaffiliates.com/terms.html is in the business of marketing, logistical and general support services in connection with remote gaming by a "Company" named Zynking Limited, a company incorporated in Malta, with its registered address Zynking Ltd., St Anne Court, Flat 4, Bisazza Street, Sliema, SLM1642, Malta. Company registration number C76860 and VAT number MT23594224.

I have received an email from the zynking server saying that they will be providing me a tax refund from Canadian Government.

Hi

Canada Revenue Agency has sent you an INTERAC e-Transfer (previously INTERAC Email Money Transfer). $458.00 CAD

When you click on the link, (link that tests your greed for money :), you will be asked to enter your banking information and instead of depositing money, the money will be withdrawn.

I have a ufone mobile number. I used it rarely because I do not live in Pakistan and have it only for the short visits I make a couple of times a year to Pakistan. Only my close friends and family know my ufone number. I do not even use it for WhatsApp. Still I get almost 5-10 spam text messages on daily basis while I am roaming out of Pakistan. The only possible reason is that ufone or some one from ufone is selling consumer phone numbers to advertising companies and benefiting from it.

See the attached picture

Its important to always create awareness against such malpractices and not let them go unreported.

Unfortunately, I fell in love with its center drawer and purchased a 4-door Samsung Refrigerator Freezer 3 and a half years ago, for $3200.00, without doing proper research. The model is RF24FSEDBSR and was manufactured in Sept of 2014. I still love the center drawer, but it is not enough to make up for the rest of the appliance. This is a prime example of a company that thinks highly of itself but doesn't care that it sells absolute junk. The number of problems and repairs for the ice maker, add up to this being the worst purchase I have ever made and that is saying something. I have put up with months and months of temporary fixes, thawing with hairdryers, mopping up pooling water on the floor of the refrigerator section and just doing without ice.

Recently, I have had 3 service calls for the ice maker. The ice maker freezes solid and won't dispense ice. Then, I need to move all my refrigerated food to a cooler and my frozen food to the outside freezer; turn off the entire unit for 2 days, with both doors propped open; and put an air circulator/warmer inside, just so the repairman can pry the completely frozen icemaker out without cracking the wall of the refrigerator. On the last service call, he replaced the entire ice maker for about $550.00. My total out of pocket for repairs and service is about $850.00. I fully expect that amount to grow. Now, it sort of works, but makes very little ice, (which will not be enough with summer coming).

I cannot get cubed ice, just crushed ice; there is water dripping down the front of the refrigerator and it is a constant source of aggravation. Samsung wasn't sympathetic or helpful when I talked with them, and they suggested that I should have purchased their 5-year Samsung Service Agreement for $1750.00 when I had a chance. Really? They were supposed to call me back (within 24 hours) 10 months ago, and I'm still waiting. Complete waste of time, money, effort, energy and resources. "Do not ever buy a Samsung refrigerator because they are expensive junk", was the advice of my repair person, who has owned an appliance repair business for many years. I could have saved myself lots of frustration, and money, if I had done my research.

we are so sorry for what happened to your refrigerator, however, you should have purchased our 5-year Samsung Service Agreement for $1750.00 when you had a chance. we will make sure to call you back within 24 hours.

Do not ever buy a Samsung refrigerator because they are expensive junk, and that was the same advice my repair person gave me, who has owned an appliance repair business for many years.

I posted a job on Upwork, where I wanted people to bid for making an iOS app for me. I already have a similar android app called myMentos. Turns out Upwork people or some one in that company is selling my information to people outside of Upwork, and I am receiving emails with bids and solicitations.

Hey .........l,

I'd like to have one of my guys create a basic proposal for the ‘MYMENTOS: Create an iOS app similar to existing android app’ project that I think you posted online but before I do I'd like to have a call to discuss things & share a few ideas so that I am sure what we send you is as accurate as possible.
Give me a call when you get a minute via the contact info listed below, or if you would like to reply with a good time I will reach out to you Appreciate your time.!

There are some big companies out there that you've probably never heard of, that know more about you than you can imagine.

They're called data brokers, and they collect all sorts of information — names, addresses, income, where you go on the Internet and who you connect with online. That information is then sold to other companies. There are few regulations governing these brokers.

Be careful when you share personal info on the internet...

Horrible experience with no resolution still! My husband and I ordered a $500 set of dressers and nightstands for our new house. We placed the order on May 7th and received a confirmation email which stated we would be contacted prior to the delivery. After nearly two weeks came and went with no update from the company, we started to get concerned.

After moving in, we had realized that the items we ordered were going to be too large for our room. I hopped on the phone to inquire about the status of the delivery and to see if it was possible to just cancel. I was not very happy after being told that there was a 110-minute wait... Yes... An ONE HUNDRED AND TEN MINUTE LONG WAIT to speak with a customer service representative. I thought it was a joke but quickly realized, they weren't kidding.

After checking the online tracker on May 20th, we realized the items were out for delivery so we took a sigh of relief and purchased new dressers, with the intent of receiving and returning the IKEA furniture. Around 6 pm that evening, I received a call from an unknown cell phone number. It was the IKEA delivery driver calling to let me know that his truck broken down but he actually lived around the corner and would be willing to bring the merchandise by after getting his new work truck within the hour. He also said that another driver could pick it up and deliver it at a later date.

I mentioned that we were planning to return the items and asked about our options. The driver stated that he would have dispatch call me in about 5 minutes. Eager to get our money back, we asked him to still deliver the items as soon as possible. We never received a call from the dispatcher and the driver never showed up with our furniture. When I called the number back, the driver did not answer and two days later, will still not return my calls.

My husband and I are FURIOUS that we are out $500 as new homeowners and still don't even have the furniture we purchased!! We can't get any assistance from customer service over the phone because of absolutely ridiculous wait times and when we visit the local store, nobody seems to know what's going on and can't help us. We just want our money back or our merchandise so that we can take it to the store and return it ourselves!

Please, please, please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! Just shop elsewhere and spare yourself the time and an unnecessary headache. If we don't get some sort of response from IKEA in the next few days as to what exactly is going on with our order, the matter will be escalated. It took IKEA 5 minutes to take that money out, we're not waiting months to see it refunded. We fully intend to hire an attorney, should the issue continue to persist.

received a confirmation email on May 7th which stated we would be contacted prior to the delivery. I hopped on the phone to inquire about the status of the delivery. I was being told that there was a 110-minute wait to speak with a customer service representative.

please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! Just shop elsewhere and spare yourself the time and an unnecessary headache.

Whenever you want to send money to someone a business or a person, even inside the same city or within the same banking institution, you have to get the beneficiary approved by making a zillion calls and what not. Yesterday, I had to send money to a travel agent, I created the beneficiary online, and then going thru all the procedures, was asked to call sambaphone.

I called the number I was given and I was taken into the system when I entered my ATM card number. Instead of verifying the card, the auto attendant said, I have to call another number, which was the same number I had called. I have been trying for the last 2 days and No one in the bank has noticed that there system is going in circles...

Sorry, please call Samba Gold at 800 124 5000. Sorry, please call Samba Gold at 800 124 5000. Sorry, please call Samba Gold at 800 124 5000. Sorry, please call Samba Gold at 800 124 5000.

Banking in Saudi Arabia can get to your nerves. Refrain from dealing with Saudi banks as much as possible.

I purchased a "Refurbished" tilt-shift lens from Nikon USA that was described as being "Like New" after being gone through by them. I paid over $1500 for the lens and so I'm expecting a quality product. The lens arrived and one of the adjustment knobs wasn't working. I contacted Nikon immediately and told them of the situation. They told me I could send it in for repair. I asked how long that would take and was told it would be around 2 weeks or longer if they had to order parts from Japan. I wasn't happy with that answer. I bought the lens because it was advertised as being already repaired and in proper working order. So I said I would like to return it for either a replacement or a refund. They told me they didn't have an exchange and that they would issue a refund. I sent it back following all their instructions and with a proper return authorization number.

Now I've been waiting for my refund so that I can purchase a lens from another seller since Nikon said they don't have another in stock. They've had my returned lens for 2 weeks now and I still have not been refunded. They say it can take up to 2 billing cycles to receive my money back... WHAT??? They are keeping my money for up to 2 months?? Will I be paid interest on my money?? I ordered this lens for a project, I don't want to wait another 2 months. I have over $30,000 of Nikon gear I use in my business. This really doesn't sit well with me. For the first time ever I have a strong urge to sell all my Nikon gear and switch camera systems. This is not the service I expect from Nikon.

the first email:
Hello,...
We apologize for this situation, please send the camera to be repaired, it would take around 2 weeks or longer if we have to order parts from Japan.

the second email:
Hello,...
We respect your decision but unfortunately, we don't have an exchange but we would issue a refund, please send the camera back following our instructions and with a proper return authorization number.

THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I WOULD ADVISE EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM BUYING FROM NIKON.

We all know Shaheen Air is a budget airline but it does not mean that the airline is allowed to ignore its duty of care towards its customers. The airline allows website purchases which means passengers can buy tickets from anywhere in the world. It also allows web clients to provide international phone numbers and email addresses for providing information. But if a flight is delayed it does not send text messages to phone numbers which are not Pakistani.

Turns out it was not just one flight delayed, the whole schedule was to be changed for the whole summer season. This means the airline knew of this change well in advance (probably even months before), but the airline did not bother to inform its customers neither on the website, nor through email/ phone. Let the people suffer, why should the big guns bother.

I was made to wait at the airport for 6 hours and when I asked why I was not told about the change in flight times, earlier, the airport clerk said, we do not inform if your number is not Pakistani.

Even google did not know the correct flight time even after the flight had arrived, because no one from the airline bothered to change the schedule in the IATA systems even...

With low budget airlines and specially with airlines from a country like Pakistan, ensure to double check the flight times before leaving home. These airlines will not take responsibility for any mismanagement on their part.

I purchased a BeautySleep Sanford Plush Mattress from Walmart.com and my mattress arrived at my door in horrible condition. The man who delivered it, from the start, asked me to get up into the small delivery truck and take a look at my purchase. Upon inspection, the plastic protection at the front (top) of the mattress had been broken open in several places, and the material/top of the mattress was embedded with oily-black semi-trailer brake dust or some sort of black STAINS! The delivery driver said that I could reject the delivery but that it would probably be best if I just ACCEPT DELIVERY, and he had me take photos of not only his original delivery invoice, which proved that his company had received the mattress in its horrible condition, but he also told me to take photos of the mattress; as he took photos of his own of the mattress once he had brought it up to my house.

The mattress was under $300.00, so it was a cheap purchase, but this should not mean that I should have had to accept a filthy mattress. Thanks to the WALMART.COM's choice of shipping/deliverers (Pilot Freight Services), and thanks to the fact that WALMART chooses to not respond to my complaints/photo proofs that they are totally irresponsible.

I didn't get any response from Walmart.

I decided that I won't ever buy anything from Walmart again, and I advise you to do the same if you don't want to receive your product in a horrible condition.

I woke up at 3 am to order a pair of limited Ultraboost LTD shoes. I happen to snag a pair, and upon receiving the shoes, I noticed that the cage was cracked where the laces were. So I call Adidas and get the most unprofessional support. First off, Adidas must be just hiring anyone for their customer service because the representatives you talk to do not sound professional. Even the supervisor I requested to talk to didn't give a care in the world about my issue. All he could offer me was to return the shoes and gave me a 15% discount code.

Now mind you, they have a FULL stock release in EU and AU, yet they can't even ship me out a replacement after not making sure QA did their job before my shoes came to me. By far the worst customer service from Adidas. They showed that they didn't even want to perform well and beyond to even help me out a little bit. Super disappointed but can't do much now. Just my experience with their customer service and relations department.

We are very sorry that you are dissatisfied with our product, we will do our best to fix this issue. we have a great offer for you, you can return the shoes and take a 15% discount code.

Thank you for contacting us!

due to this horrible experience with Adidas, I advise you not to buy their product, don't waste your money on bad products.

I have often had issues right after Microsoft installs an update to my PC. The March 2018 update locked me out by killing my mouse and keyboard so I could not log in. I spent around $140 at Fry's to have my PC files backed up and everything wiped. We all thought I had been attacked by a virus. After spending days trying to get into my PC myself, and days waiting for Fry's to restore my PC, I had to reinstall all of my programs. I spent almost 2 hours on hold with Viper support only to find out that they were inundated with calls from others having the same issues after to Windows update.

They re-sent my software and explained what happened with this:"We have researched this issue internally and have found this to NOT be a VIPER related issue. We contacted Microsoft directly and Microsoft has confirmed KB4074588 has known issues where some USB devices stop working. We recommend contacting Microsoft directly for any issues related to your USB Keyboard and Mouse no longer working. Their contact information can be found at ** or by calling 1-800-642-7676".

After trying to get answers and compensation over the phone, I had to drive to the Microsoft store and talk to a manager. He said they were aware of the issue that was happening "on older PC's". I showed him proof of my repair bills, and the receipts that showed my PC was only 9 months old. I am a senior living on Social Security with limited income and thought they might at least pay me out of pocket expenses. The manager came back with $100 in Microsoft gift certificates and said he would escalate my issue to corporate but could promise nothing. After getting home, I looked at what was available at the MS store. Nothing there was of interest to me. Follow-up calls just led to more frustration. I was given lip service and promises of return calls that never came. As big as this company is, you would think they could afford to at least cover the damages they caused.

dear....,
We have researched this issue internally and have found this to NOT be a VIPER related issue. We contacted Microsoft directly and Microsoft has confirmed KB4074588 has known issues where some USB devices stop working. We recommend contacting Microsoft directly for any issues related to your USB Keyboard and Mouse no longer working. Their contact information can be found at ** or by calling 1-800-642-7676". Follow-up calls just led to more frustration.

Don't install any update without doing researches about it and making sure that this update won't damage your device.

During the last year, my Samsung Smart TV Series 7 (7500) has stopped playing Netflix or Youtube etc. Even the websites with streaming videos dont work. I found out that the common denominator is the TV. It is not supporting the video based websites or apps anymore. When I approached sumasung, no answer was provided. There are many blogs on Samsung website, blaming internet connection or the owners of Netflix and Youtube. Surprisingly Netflix and youtube work on the newer models. A perfect example of a giant untouchable like Samsung trying to deflect responsibility on others. Obviously there is a problem with the core system Samsung is based on. Most companies try to develop a bug fix rather than blame everybody else for their buggy system.

Have you tried updating to the most recent firmware? (I did that) Have you tried a reset? (What a primitive solution, I did that too) Have you tried adjusting your DNS settings? (DNS adjustment is not required for DHCP) Is your television able to access the internet? (Now thats calling me Stupid) Are you using a wired or wireless connection? (What difference does it make, I can still google and browse the internet) How far is the TV from the router? (Not even 5 meters, happy now ?)

Never trust these giants while they are experimenting at your cost. No one can make US$36.36 billion profit per year if you take care of your customers and stand behind your goof-ups.

This happened to my mom right in front of me about a month ago. She randomly got a message from someone she didn't know saying her request to connect on Messenger had been approved. She did not try to connect to this person. Within a minute, it said she had successfully sent them $200! We tried to cancel but it went through too quickly. This happened on the computer, so I took a pic with my phone. Within 3 minutes from when they were connected on Messenger, everything was gone. There was no message to this person anymore!

Since Facebook has linked up with PayPal, we disputed this payment with both and the claim was denied! We then took it up with the bank, who also denied it. They all three claimed it didn't seem like "unusual activity" since money has been sent through Messenger before. The money that was sent before was a donation of $50 while we were surrounded by crazy wildfires. Never has a large sum of money been sent to an individual. I'm planning on leaving this review on PayPal as well as the bank, in hopes I can be connected to someone who has gone through this and successfully disputed it.

email from Facebook:
we are sorry for what happened but we don't anything about this payment.

email from the bank:
Hello,...
we didn't notice any unusual activity with your bank account, we'd advise you to connect Facebook and inquire about what happened.

Don't ever link up your PayPal with Facebook, they will steal your money.

An open university that is running in almost 8 different countries has no easy method of verifying transcripts of international students and makes the students waste time on getting attestations from multiple Ministries, Embassies and Notaries. On top of that the University Venue in Dammam shifted recently to an unknown place with no intimation on their website. The old venue merely mentions of the move on a badly handwritten piece of paper stuck to the main door. "We have moved to Airport Road". Its written in one single language whereas the university provides courses in multiple languages to students who speak different languages. Meanwhile airport road is almost 40 km long and finding the university on the airport road will definitely be a nightmare.

We have moved to the airport road

Be careful with such a university that does not have any regard for the comfort of its students

A few month ago my maternal uncle fell into a deception. He used the GP (Grameen phone). And he was a businessman. That way, He connected many people for his business. One day he received a phone call and He offered the big amount of money price from GP (Grameen phone) customer care.

He has heard the offer and he excited and he did the step of their role. They told him that he will withdraw his money if he pays some money. This way my uncle gave them some money. After paying money the customer care off their contract.

Then my uncle contracted the GP customer care and he confirmed that there was a Fraud with him. Original GP (Grameen phone) customer care there is no offer from them.

If anyone offers you some things when you must be thinking about that. Why or how you get others opportunities. Sometime over excitement make danger for us.

4 months ago we bought a 55 inch Sony from [Best Buy] with one year warranty, after few days we started to notice two white spots, after once in while the white spots became longer until we have a half picture, we called Best Buy, people advised us to contact Sony, and we did so. A female voice responded, she asked us to do few things with the original remote control, nothing happened. Then she told us the TV is defective, they will replace it, just wait for an e-mail & follow the instructions. We received the e-mail and what they asked us to do... To take 3 photos, 1st photo the TV showing its four corners, 2nd photo the serial number on the back of the TV which was hold on the wall by a bracket, it was very difficult to take the number, 3rd photo of the receipt, attaching them to an e-mail and to wait 4 working days, we did but we didn't hear from them!

We kept sending emails and make phone calls... Until one day a rude mean person called, accusing us that we broke the screen, I asked him, "Please let me talk another person." He refused, then I asked, "Can I talk to a supervisor," he refused too and he hanged up, letting me confused what I did wrong? Sony used to be my favorite brand, now it is the worst company on earth.

Hello,...

we have reviewed your complaint and we apologize for this problem, we will this problem for you as soon as possible. please take a picture of the TV showing its four corners, and another one the serial number on the back of the TV and a photo of the receipt, please attach these 3 photos to an e-mail and wait 4 working days and we will contact you.

thanks for your patience!

going through this bad experience with Sony, I won't ever buy anything from it. and I advise you to do the same if you don't want to lose your money on bad products.

This spammer seems to show a lot of patience and that he/she has a lot of time on their hands. The email exposes two email addresses. shb1@mta.ca which is coming from Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada. The other email address is icmcmullen@mta.ca, which is also from the same University but from a student/ alumnai, who looks like this...

Season’s Greetings,

I’m Shannon, there is something important and urgent that i would like us to talk about.

Please get back to me ASAP

Some emails lure you into clicking on a phishing form. This one is luring you into a correspondence. Ian with the long beard has also said in the email that he is actually Shannon. Meeting strangers is a nice experience but meeting strangers via unsolicited email is not correct.

My aunt was facing a problem with cheating. It was about one year ago. My aunt was a DBBL (Duch Bangla Bank LTD) User. She usually took off her money from the DBBL (Duch Bangla Bank LTD) account. She has her own account like others. One day she was sleeping at noon. Suddenly, her mobile phone was ringing and she saw that an unknown number was calling her. Normally she received the call.

After giving salam, a person told that "Have you a DBBL (Duch Bangla Bank LTD) account of your own?" She says "yes. I have" The person then told that "your account is not safe. It is blocked. If you have any money oo your account then urgently take off your money from it. Otherwise, If you want I can help you. What you say about it?"

That moment, she was being scared and without thinking any thinking she says "yes". Then he (the unknown person) gave some instruction and she undoubtedly follows them all. After the call ends then she checked her DBBL (Duch Bangla Bank LTD) account and she notices that it was empty. There is no money.

When she contacts the DBBL Customer care they said they can't help anymore. It was hacked and they also said that this is totally my aunt's fault.

Thus it's for her unawareness, she lost her money and face that problem. So, everybody has to be aware and also make the unaware people aware so that they can't face such type a problem for their unawareness.

This person is offering business partnership sending fake emails to reach persons for his own benefits.

I wish to bring to your notice that I have a very urgent, profitable and genuine business for you to handle on my behalf, there in your country for our mutual benefit.Please revert back to me as soon as possible via my regular email.

Best regards,

Today I have recived a mail from some Mr Francis awuayerematen who is allegedly a bank officer in Accra - Ghana representing the city Group, and he is informing me that a citizen from my country who has the same surname with me, had a fixed deposit with his bank in 2011 , valued at US 5,700,000.00 (Five Million,Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) and the the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of January 2017. Sadly that man, who had same surname like me died, and Francis is kindly offer me to divide this money 50%- 50%. This email was so funny for me to read, like who would even think that someone will go along with that story!

When you get a email where somebody offers you free money delete it immediately.

Estuve pagando por dos meses completos la renta básica de mi internet y llamaba todos los dias al 155 de cantv que es el numero donde atienden las solicitudes de los clientes, aparte de que el servicio es malisimo y te dejan esperando en linea sin darte ninguna buena razón, porque es tan malo el servicio. Me siento estafada porque me cobran y no tengo el servicio.

Hay que esperar a ver que dice el técnico, eso es todo lo que dicen cuando llamo por teléfono.

Verificar bien que clase de servicio de internet buscan, no se fijen en el costo del servicio sino en la calidad. Hay que estudiar primero las opciones que tenemos y luego elegir cual servicio se va adquirir.

This happened unexpectedly. After happily receiving my tablet, I'ts charger malfunctioned just as I put it on the socket. Thank God all the other electrical appliances were intact. You should be very careful with Chinese products these days.

Supplier refunded money for the sum of the charger which was a nice act from them. But it came with a delay which was not good.

Please ensure that you're well aware of these cheap items and possible defects they might have. Sometimes we just can't know untill try some of them out. Some of this appears to be a more of a luck game.

Firm Puls consulting invited my parents by phone to the presentation of their medical device and with that full check of my parents health which was financed by an international humanitarian organization they said.
When my parents got there they seriously explained all the health problems and the connection with the wrong treatment and even fatal outcomes, for which the solution is a bearing with magnetic fields, and even organized a "prize game" that gives a discount when buying Bed for magnetic fields treatment. The price for it is abnormaly high and some people who were trick to by it have problems to return their money.
After little research we found out that "In accordance with the Law on Medicinal Products and Medical Devices, advertising material must be approved by the Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Serbia," and The Medicines Agency did not approve the mentioned promotional material.

Recebi este e-mail no nome da Meliuz que pelo que vi é uma empresa legítima. Mas achei o e-mail um pouco suspeito e sempre tenho um pé atrás com esse e-mails de promoções e dinheiro fácil. Eu cheguei a clicar num dos links e enquanto a janela que abriu carregava, percebi o html mudou quatro vezes, até me levar para um site que seria da magazine luiza pedindo meus dados para abrir um negócio. Achei bem estranho.

Não deem seus dados, nem o cpf, para esses sites. Pode parecer pouca coisa mas com cpf e nome os criminosos já conseguem fazer um estrago.

So, I graduated in college august last year. Here in Brazil we usually do big parties when we graduated and there are a lot of companies that do just that: help students organize their parties. It's kind of expensive, like 4 - 10 thousands reais, it depends. One of the main parts of this contract is the photo coverage. The hired company is the only one allowed to take professional or semi professional photo and videos of the party and prom. So the problem is, I did ket my photo and didnt have big problems, but there is a lot of my friends who still couldn't buy the photo. They call, they go to the company, they sent emails, and the company just take a long time to go to their houses to sell the photos, i have friends even starting to think they lost the photos. It`s such a special moment for us and it`s really sad if we dont get this memories photos that we pay (a lot) to have.
In the print, my friend is telling that she payed the photos im march and they still haven't delivered the pics. (She received only this weekend)

If you`re from Brazil, or any country who have similar cultural thing, pay attention to which company you hire. Sometimes it actually looks like they are a big and trustworthy company, but please, try to talk to people who hired them before to see which problems they had.

Recebi esse e-mail como se fosse do Par Perfeito, mas é vírus. O e-mail como podem ver não é relacionado com a companhia é o texto do e-mail também é confuso, com certeza traduzido sem cuidado pro português.

Tomem cuidado com e-mails e na hora de clicar em links

I`ve been receiving a lot of emails from this promo@hotelbono.com. They all are about free gifts, sales for me to subscribe or to confirm my data on service companies, like telephone or internet. In the screenshots, you can see the name of the source is always different, even though they are from the same e-mail. Also, they use names of famous companies like VIVO, Dior, Sky. I did searched for any company called Hotel Bono and Didn't find anything.

I never clicked the links they sent me because I was already pretty sure it wasn't trustworthy, but be very careful with the emails you receive, especially if they asked you to click on links or to give any information.

If my iqama [residency visa] expires and is not renewed for some reason, or if i do not visit the bank to show my face, every year, even if my visa is renewed, my bank account will be frozen. Once my bank account is frozen, no money can be taken from it, even if your kids are dying of hunger or your pregnant wife needs medicine.. Your driver's license will also be frozen, credit cards as well, your phone number may also be disconnected. It is my hard earned money but because of the laws based on the principles of slavery, your money is not yours if the masters decide to do so.

Nowhere in this world will this happen. Actually most countries want you to deposit your money in their banks and try to give you a sense of security, so you keep the money invested with them.

Dear Customer, Your account has been frozen.

Try your best not to save any significant money in Saudi banks. If your money is stuck in a bank or if your company is not paying salaries on time, which is normal in most Islamic countries, there will be no way to get your rights back, and ultimately your visa will expire, and why would a company not paying your salary renew your visa, and the Saudi religion and the society will be happy to throw you out of the country without giving you any of your rights.

I was sitting behind 8-10 members of Saudi Arabian Airlines flight crew which were probably returning from their duty or training or whatever. They have the seats with the best leg room. They are extremely loud. And right during the safety presentation before take-off, when the TV screens are asking to turn off all electronic devices, these guys are totally ignoring the safety requirements and keeping up with their ignorant behavior.

I could not even dare to ask these crew members to abide by thew rules. They could have thrown me out of the flight.

I like feelcheated.com, even if I know this post might not reach Saudi Airlines, and nothing will happen to fix my concerns, it helps me to offload and move on with my life.

I dont know who is hacking the Poor Fiddle Guy or the Rich Standard Chartered Bank, but for an ordinary user, its a phishing scam...

There was this random person who texted me " hi (my nickname), i miss you . Please call me." What I did was, I texted this person back and asked him who he/she was, but then there was no response. So I went to http://www.emobiletracker.com/free-trace-philippines.html , some of those websites had stupid contents which were not that helpful. However, I found this one legit website and that was when I was able to know the name of the random texter.I was creeped out because I didn't even know this person but how come he knows me. After that incident, I have kept my number more private.

if possible keep your phone numbers private and don't text back to random people because you don't know the danger you are putting yourself into.

Recently I sent a parcel to Pakistan weighing around 1.5kg. DHL charged me around 463 QR for the service and informed me that there is a possibility of extra charges at destination. (he was unable to tell me the figure) Secondly the parcel got delivered after five days on Wednesday.
To my surprise my family had to pay more than 5500 rupees (equal to 220 QR) to have the personal parcel /gift released.
The current one way ticket from Doha to ISB is 790 QR including all taxes.
It was probably wiser for me to take the 200 QR gift personally to Islamabad and get the bonus of enjoying few days with family.

Over rated and over priced service. Think twice before using the so called shuttle service.....

Have you been in a situation in which you went to place with only a cab and a private owned vehicle are the only means of transportation? What about booking a taxi so that you wont be having a hard time getting a ride home? I m about to share something, a horrible experience from a maniac and harassing cab driver. I rode this cab from a mall to my house, I thought it was a fine ride. What angered me is that this driver charged me a huge amount and he also harassed me by saying malicious words.

It would be better if you bring your own vehicle going to far places because if you keep relying on public utility vehicles, your safety might be in danger. But if you don't have any private owned vehicles and would rather choose to ride a public utility vehicle just like a cab, investigate if the driver is reliable and make sure that you wont pay twice the amount of what you should pay. If you can see that your starting to be harassed, ask for help or call the cops.

Another example of advance fee fraud/ scam from our beloved country Nigeria and on behalf of our beloved organisation UN.

I went to this website which offers online jobs , so while I was going through the job posts I saw this one post which caught my attention and so I made my bid and submitted a proposal. I guess it was the next hour that I received a reply from the employer, I was excited but when I read the reply, I felt cheated because what she said on the job post was different from what she replied to me. The title of the job post was “Need 5 Persons Who Enjoy Reading- Must Have Kindle App”. It was said in the description that the task was simple and that the 5 lucky applicants will be paid $10 each but then what she replied to me after I gave my proposal was different, she actually wanted me to buy her book for $0.99 and she will pay me $10 in return. I did not agree and reported that employer. I feel cheated because I did not submit a proposal to the employer to buy her book but to apply for a job that she has posted which was actually a scam.

So after i told the source that I wasn't going to buy her book and that I just wanted to work, her response was"That is already taken care of but thanks for the offer"

Don’t just easily jump into conclusion and don’t easily believe what you see on the internet even those in legit or legal websites for online jobs because even those sites has scammers. When you want to apply for an online job make sure that the employer and the content is legit. Be wise and be careful when choosing a job especially online.

After thorough research, I chose to invest my funds to a seemingly booming industry of cryptocurrency. I placed a small amount of 500usd to test it out. Results were promising and I was hardpressed to keep using this service until one day it shut down and all the funds were frozen. It appears that they did some kind of scam. I cannot believe that I fell for such greedy activity.

They did not refund any money but it is now clear that their owner Homero Joshua Garza is about to face criminal charges for his conduct.

Avoid cloud mining pools like a plague - you will never know who is real and who pretends to be one. It is better to invest in things that you know and understand.

This is embarrassing, and so naive of us! But I have to tell this story. My friends and I were in Times Square and this guy was outside this theater place and had these cards for a comedy club and we desperately needed something fun to do! They were 20$ upfront. He kept telling us that famous people go to these kinds of comedy clubs, and other stuff like that to reel us in. We knew that we weren't going to see a celebrity, but it still seemed like fun since it was a comedy club. We stupidly bought the tickets. I think we were all a bit pressured into buying them, if I'm being completely honest. After we went in, we realized that you also HAVE to buy drinks for minimum 20$ too! I'm not even 21, and we all wasted a lot of money that night for literally nothing. The comedy show was crappy, and I just needed to pee in the most disgusting bathroom ever thanks to the 20$ in drinks that I spent.
Later on, I did some research, and there are a lot of people that were scammed in the same way that we were.

Moral of the story: don't give anybody money in Times Square or anyone on the street unless you're just giving them a donation and expect nothing in return

I travel a lot, and my instagram account is very important to me. It's how I meet people, create contacts and make memories. Long story short, my instagram account is very dear to me, and it's not just a social platform, it's a huge part of my life. I started noticing that some of my posts were missing, without me being able to remember that I deleted them. Another time, I saw that I was following zero people! At first, I thought that it was some kind of instagram bug, and I hoped that it would fix itself, and that I would have all the people that I followed back. (It was never fixed, someone must have manually unfollowed everyone that I was following.) Can't really explain why, but I had a feeling that I should change my password to something way more complicated. A couple of days ago, instagram notified me that someone from China tried to log into my account.

Change your password and/or email/username when you notice that there is something weird happening to your account. Make sure that your account is secure.

Just a week ago, I noticed two speed detection cameras installed by the MOI on the Thuwal-Rabigh road. The problem is that there are no speed limit signs anywhere near these cameras, for miles and miles and no one knows what is the acceptable speed limit. Seems the purpose is to collect money only by hooking the mis-informed drivers. In Saudi Arabia a road with 4 lanes or a dual carriage should be with atleast 100kmph limit but these radars have been known for taking pictures of drivers at less than 100kmph also.

When you dont see a speed limit sign, drive at 60kmph and pray to God that the camera has been set for lesser speeds.

A few days ago I got a call from a strange looking number. Caller ID said that the number was a Bangladesh number. I didn't answer of course. The phone kept ringing, and after I ignored the call, I got a couple of other calls. Different numbers, but they were all Bangladesh numbers. It started to feel like harassment, so I decided to block all the numbers. I was curious, though.. Maybe even a bit weirded out, but I didn't think much of it. Until today. I heard from some of my friends that they either received or heard of someone receiving these weird calls too. Apparently, sometimes, you even get a message that would beg you to answer. Turns out it's all part of some sort of scheme to scam people out of lots of money.

Do not answer any calls that are from Bangladesh!

I used to have a credit card from Scotiabank about 10 years ago. So an email like this was surprising. The email is coming from the cash machines provider/ interac.ca and the content of the email is nothing but spam and phishing attempts.

I received this e-mail (in portuguese) saying it was a receipt of a buying I did but you can see is an html, what is strange, pretty sure it is a virus, the e-mail that sent me also is strange, and it`s not from any store i may have bought anything.

Beware of fake receipts, invoices, collection, any bank/money thing realated

While surfing on Facebook, a friend of yours messages you and after exchanging pleasantries, about health, family, work, etc, they bring up a topic about new and easy ways of making money. The offers seem real and tempting where you learn that you might get even up to $50,000.00, in the first attempt. You are eager to learn and you keep chatting with them until they are able to persuade you to click a link that will scam you out of your earnings!
Surprising, you might know that the person you have been chatting with is not your friend but a scammer who has copied your friend's Facebook page to look real. They have also been able to copy the list of friends to try and get money out of all of you.

Always protect your Facebook account details, list of friends and who can view your news posts. This does not prevent you from enjoying the features on Facebook in any way. However, it makes it possible for you to feel more secure and for your friends to avoid worrying that when you talk to them, it might be a scammer, with an account like your, trying to cheat them of their money. When you suspect that your friends account has been impersonated, letting them know and reporting the matter to Facebook administrators will save a lot.

Phishing is a form of social engineering that attempts to steal sensitive information. An attacker's goal is to compromise systems to obtain usernames, passwords, and other account and/or financial data. They most frequently accomplish phishing attacks via email. The email includes a link that has a text showing a so called “official” website, or a reference number of an alleged communication or a placed/ rejected order. The link takes you to a fake site operated by the attacker.

Once the user visits the fake site, they may be asked overtly to enter account information such as usernames, passwords, credit card details, social security or bank account numbers. The victim may also be exposed to malware by the fake site. Taking advantage of a variety of vulnerabilities in the browser, the attacker may be able to install a Trojan Horse on the user’s computer.

My aunt told me that she had an online relationship that went south. One day a gorgeous man by the name Richard McCarl added her on facebook. His profile said that he was divorced, and that he was in Iraq. He was a soldier. She said that they talked for days and days, and that it was wonderful. "He was such a romantic man" she said. He would write her poems, and tell her these incredible stories about how much he's falling for her. My aunt has no children and is also divorced. Turns out, that is the kind of woman these men target for their dirty little scam. He told her that he wants to settle down when he returns from Iraq, and that he wants a life with her. My aunt was beyond happy, but then he started asking for money. At first he started asking for small amounts of cash, but over time they got bigger. My aunt thought that he was a real person since his profile had all the pictures, he had tagged photos of him and his friends. Long story short, my aunt ended up sending him about 200$, and when she refused to pay a thousand dollars for (supposedly) a plane ticket, he deleted his profile.
In the end, we found out that all those other profiles (the profiles of his friends) were also fake. It's a whole scam ring that is made to lure women such as my aunt in. They look for desperate women, often from all around the world, who are willing to send money to their internet fling.

If a strange soldier man adds you, starts chatting with you, and starts asking for money, my advice is to block them right away.

My coworker told me that she experienced the same problem as I did, so that's why I decided to share my story with the world. Although I am fairly certain that I am not the first, or the second fool that they did this too.
The first of June is my birthday, and during my birthday it's pretty normal for me to get a lot of messages, cards and a lot of emails. I usually open them all on my birthday, but I answer them the day after my birthday. It's not unusual for me to received e-cards, but this one was a bit different. It was from a random email, but the email said the name of one of my friends. It said that I needed to download/update a program so that the card could play itself. I didn't really think hard about it. If I see that something needs to be downloaded or updated, I just do it. When I clicked on the link, it actually downloaded a virus. My computer crashed right away, and the scariest part is that whoever did that to me had access to all my personal information. Even access to my funds.
I had to buy a new laptop because I hadn't invested in a good antivirus program, so they couldn't save my laptop. I lost a lot of money, sleep and I was insanely stressed just because of one stupid fraudulent e-card.

When you receive an email from someone that you don't know and it contains a link, listen to me closely: DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK.

These are the area codes being used to make single rings by conmen. 268, 284, 473, 664, 649, 767, 809, 829 and 876. You will be curious and call back to see who called. Calls made to such numbers by unsuspecting victims like you and me can cost us more than $20 for just the first minute. I have been receiving calls from +14735079791, +14735079799, +2473033396, +53588773484, +2471777847 etc etc. The communications ministries of these countries should control scams originating from their networks...

The call you make will most probably redirected to an international adult entertainment service, 'chat' line, or other premium service located outside the country.

Experts suggest that if you miss a call, and don't recognize the number, do not call the number back. But the dilemma is how to ensure that the unknown number is not from a friend or a relative in distress using someone else's phone. Its easier to ignore if you know that no one you know lives in Bermuda or Grenada. The conmen are targeting people who are making and receiving international calls on daily basis as a part of their regular business.

Another case of advance fee fraud from Burkina Faso. Another thing to note is that the senders email is different from the email given in the body of the email. This shows that the spam checkers have been forcing the fraudster to change email addresses.

Look at the fraudulent length and breadth....

Greetings My Dear Friend ,
before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious.

This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. Please I want you to read this letter very carefully and I must apologize for barging this message into your mail box without any formal introduction due to the urgency and confidentiality of this business and I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. Please this is not a joke and I will not like you to joke with it ok, with due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great assistance to me. My name is Mr.Ben Marzouk,from Burkina Faso,

West Africa. I work in United Bank for Africa (UBA) as telex manager, please see this as a confidential message and do not reveal it to another person and let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is top secret.

I am about to retire from active Banking service to start a new life but I am skeptical to reveal this particular secret to a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life. It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores

of Africa were gold and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transferring to foreign accounts, so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer.

I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act; I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over $5billion Dollars during the process. Before I send this message to you, I have already diverted ($8million Dollars) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to the funds is because they have made a lot of profits with the funds. It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($8million Dollars) has been laying waste in our bank and I don't want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver (a foreigner). The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me by providing a reliable bank account where the funds can be transferred.

You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you a detailed information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance to grab my own life opportunity but you must of the funds secret to avoid any leakages as no one in the bank knows about my plans.Please get back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project, I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and acceptance.

If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your consent to me. I am looking forward to hear from you immediately for further information. please contact me at my E-mail;(mr.benmarzouk22@gmail.com)

Thanks with my best regards.

Here are some ways to protect yourself from ever evolving forms of SPAMs, SCAMs and FRAUDs.

1. Do online searches.
If an unexpected email is coming from amazon, go to amazon.com and look for their spam warnings. You can also type a company or product name into your favorite search engine, along with words like “review,” “complaint”, “cheat” or “scam.” Or search for a phrase that describes your situation, like “IRS call.” You can even search for phone numbers to see if other people have reported them as scams.

2. Spot imposters.
Know your vulnerabilities. When a person is vulnerable, there is an unobstructed entrance or view to the person’s heart, being and soul. Scammers often pretend to be someone you trust, you will be ready to open up to, like a government official, a family member, a charity, or a well-known company you do or can or might do business with. Don’t send money or give out personal information in response to an unexpected request — whether it comes as a letter, text, a phone call, or an email.

3. Don’t believe your caller ID.
There have been known cases of company employees using company phones lines to commit frauds. Also, now a days Technology makes it easy for scammers to fake caller ID information, so the name and number you see aren’t always real. If someone calls asking for money or personal information, hang up. If you think the caller might be telling the truth, call back to a number you know is genuine for that company and inquire, research, and spend some time. Don’t help the fraudsters even if you think it’s for a small amount.
4.
5. 4. Don’t pay upfront for a promise.
Advance payments are always risky. Try taking an advance form a bank and see how much paper work is required and how long it takes. Someone might ask you to pay in advance for things like debt relief, credit and loan offers, mortgage assistance, or a job or a lottery win. They want all of this to be done in a hurry as these fraudulent offers are quickly closing. They might even say you’ve won a prize, but first you have to pay taxes or fees. They might invent some impressive jargon. If you do pay an advance without a guarantee, or without conducting a research, know that they will probably take the money and disappear.
6.
7. 5. Consider how you pay.
Credit cards sometimes have significant fraud protection built in, but some payment methods don’t. Know and read your terms and conditions. Some credit cards with zero fees might not provide enough protection. Wiring money through services like Western Union or MoneyGram is risky because it’s nearly impossible to get your money back. That’s also true for reloadable cards like MoneyPak, Reloadit or Vanilla. Government offices and honest companies won’t require you to use these payment methods.
8.
9. 6. Talk to someone.
Slow down, check out the story, do an online search, consult an expert — or just tell a friend. Ask yourself are you being greedy, looking for a free lunch, trying to make shortcuts in life. Before you give up your money or personal information, talk to someone you trust. Con artists want you to make decisions in a hurry. They might even threaten you.
10.
11. 7. Hang up on robocalls.
Now a days receiving calls might cost you money. These robotic fraudulent phone systems want you to say “YES” or “Agreed” to a simple seemingly innocent question, and that triggers the payment metering out of your phone bill. If you answer the phone and hear a recorded sales pitch, hang up instantly. These calls are illegal, and often the products are bogus. Don’t press 1 to speak to a person or to be taken off the list. That could lead to more calls and large sums of payments from your phone bill.

8. Be skeptical about free trial offers.
All that’s seems for free has a hidden cost. We all become a part of a statistic or a study or a large data mine by using free online applications. Companies turn raw data into sellable information, to look for patterns, learn more about their customers and to develop more effective marketing strategies as well as increase sales and cut costs. Some companies use free trials to sign you up for products and bill you every month until you cancel. Before you agree to a free trial, research the company and read the cancellation policy. And always review your monthly statements for charges you don’t recognize.

I went out with a friend and when she wanted to leave I asked a cabify car for her house and I stayed in the club. Right away, it seems ok, the driver accept the ride and was on his way. After 10 or 15 minutes my friend manage to get in the club again and find me, to tell me the car niver arrived, I check the cabify again and the guy didnt cancel but he wasn't on the way to where we were, he was definitely going somewhere else, so I cancel and asked another car that arrived and it was fine, but as I canceled after 5 minutes I had to pay. I get that you have to pay after some minutes but its not my fault if the driver was going idk where and my friend had to wait for 15 minutes with no idea if he was actually planning to pick her up.

I didnt receive any message from them

I won`t tell anybody to stop using it, but when you use those apps, try to be aware of what and where the driver is going in those 5 first minutes, dont do as I did, I just stop checking my phone and assume the car arrived.

Here are some ways to protect yourself from ever evolving forms of SPAMs, SCAMs and FRAUDs.

1. Do online searches.
If an unexpected email is coming from amazon, go to amazon.com and look for their spam warnings. You can also type a company or product name into your favorite search engine, along with words like review, complaint, cheat or scam. Or search for a phrase that describes your situation, like IRS call. You can even search for phone numbers to see if other people have reported them as scams.

2. Spot imposters.
Know your vulnerabilities. When a person is vulnerable, there is an unobstructed entrance or view to the person's heart, being and soul. Scammers often pretend to be someone you trust, you will be ready to open up to, like a government official, a family member, a charity, or a well-known company you do or can or might do business with. Don't send money or give out personal information in response to an unexpected request whether it comes as a letter, text, a phone call, or an email.

3. Dont believe your caller ID.
There have been known cases of company employees using company phones lines to commit frauds. Also, now a days Technology makes it easy for scammers to fake caller ID information, so the name and number you see aren't always real. If someone calls asking for money or personal information, hang up. If you think the caller might be telling the truth, call back to a number you know is genuine for that company and inquire, research, and spend some time. Don't help the fraudsters even if you think it's for a small amount.

4. Dont pay upfront for a promise.
Advance payments are always risky. Try taking an advance form a bank and see how much paper work is required and how long it takes. Someone might ask you to pay in advance for things like debt relief, credit and loan offers, mortgage assistance, or a job or a lottery win. They want all of this to be done in a hurry as these fraudulent offers are quickly closing. They might even say you've won a prize, but first you have to pay taxes or fees. They might invent some impressive jargon. If you do pay an advance without a guarantee, or without conducting a research, know that they will probably take the money and disappear.

5. Consider how you pay.
Credit cards sometimes have significant fraud protection built in, but some payment methods don't. Know and read your terms and conditions. Some credit cards with zero fees might not provide enough protection. Wiring money through services like Western Union or MoneyGram is risky because it's nearly impossible to get your money back. That's also true for reloadable cards like MoneyPak, Reloadit or Vanilla. Government offices and honest companies won't require you to use these payment methods.

6. Talk to someone.
Slow down, check out the story, do an online search, consult an expert or just tell a friend. Ask yourself are you being greedy, looking for a free lunch, trying to make shortcuts in life. Before you give up your money or personal information, talk to someone you trust. Con artists want you to make decisions in a hurry. They might even threaten you.

7. Hang up on robocalls.
Now a days receiving calls might cost you money. These robotic fraudulent phone systems want you to say YES or AGREED to a simple seemingly innocent question, and that triggers the payment metering out of your phone bill. If you answer the phone and hear a recorded sales pitch, hang up instantly. These calls are illegal, and often the products are bogus. Don't press 1 to speak to a person or to be taken off the list. That could lead to more calls and large sums of payments from your phone bill.

8. Be skeptical about free trial offers.

And always review your monthly statements for charges you don't recognize.

Last night I received a text message and it seemed like the sender had mistakenly forwarded this information to my phone instead of their 'sister's' number. The message was informing the supposed sister that there are job replacements within the Kenya Defense Force and she needed to send details of her son, Ken and any other two young people who have attained a grade of D+ in their Secondary education studies. I called to inform 'Major Benson' that they had forwarded this to the wrong person and they were grateful but told me, I could get the posts if I had someone interested in becoming a KDF officer. However, in order to make it happen, I had to pay him Kes.100,000 in less than 3 days and send the details of my relative to them.
This seemed like a trick and I contacted by partner to inform him the 'luck' we had. One of my brother's in law desperately needs a job and this would be like hitting the jackpot if they had a 'Godfather' to help them directly secure the job.

To my surprise, my partner's colleague at work had received the same message earlier that day and it was proven to be a case of misrepresentation, spamming and attempted fraud.

The text message from Major Benson:-
Hi sis,we're doing KDF replacement plz send Ken details plus 2ppl with D+and & above Send (0788873840) Major Benson.

Many conmen and fraudsters are capitalizing on other peoples' misfortunes or desperation for jobs. First confirm the source of information and do not be quick to use corrupt means to get jobs or favors done for you. You will pay dearly for it.

There was a time when I thought checking the headers of emails that looked like spam would give me enough information and keep me safe from fraudsters. This has changed. I am receiving emails from actual domain names of companies like Amazon and Paypal. People are receiving calls from customer service caller IDs of well known companies. Either fraudsters are becoming too smart or the companies are becoming too fixated on increasing their profits that they have stopped concentrating on probable loopholes in their systems.

The screenshot attached shows that the email is coming from Amazon and the proposed link (from the text of fake order no 192-773-7646) in the body of the email will take you to some other website to complete its heinous fraud.

I tried to find if Dean Clark was a writer. I found a few University professors by this name. There have been a few more prominent Dean Clarks.

1. Dean Clark was the voice of Berlioz in the Cartoon Movie "AristoCats" from 1970.
2. Dean Clark is a former ice hockey defenceman and head coach of the Prince George Cougars. Clark is also the former head coach of the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League.
3. Dean Clark (born 31 March 1980) is a retired footballer. He was originally a professional who made a handful of appearances for Brentford and then went on to play for a variety of teams local to north and west London, including making over one hundred appearances for Northwood.
4. Dean Clark (born 6 January 1968) is a New Zealand rugby league coach and former footballer who represented his country between 1989 and 1992.

So even though the email is not intended to be sent to me by amazon.com, I believe Amazon.com owes me a duty of care to secure its IT assets so that people do not use their domain names to send fraudster emails.

Dear Customer,

Your order has been successfully canceled. For your reference, here's a summary of your order:

I must say the spam sometimes is blissful, as one ends up doing some research to get to the bottom of it and learns so many new things. "Be careful" is the key word. There are no free lunches. Nothing happens on its own. If you didnt order anything it will not arrive out of the blue. If you did not buy a lottery ticket, you will not win millions. If you dont know any one in Nigeria, no one will contact you to share their millions.

Barely a day goes by without seeing posts such as 'Like or share if you hate cancer' on my newsfeed on facebook. Some are even so manipulative to even use small children to manipulate people into sharing the posts or clicking like. what most people do not realize is that, these posts are made by Like-Farmers who only do so that they can get higher EdgeRanks for their pages, make more money due to the nature Facebook Algorithmn. Tj Turner has used this to his advantage for long.

Facebook users need to be careful with viral links that try to farm for likes as they only make the cyber-scammers rich. They are also used to distribute viruses and malware. Once the pages have collected huge numbers of 'Likes' and 'Shares', they are then sold, for cash, to other businesses who use them to make their page appear popular.

I had to take lunch an hour early one day to cover for my sick boss that night. One of us had to be there at all times.I opened the front door and there they were on the couch, clothes scattered on the floor, scurrying to cover up. It's burned into my head. At that point it gets blurry though. I froze for a second. I started seeing red and knew that if I didn't get out of there something bad would happen, so I left. I got in my car,locked the door, turned off my cell phone and started driving. I went back to work and pretended nothing happened.She tried to call me, I always said I was on another line and would call back when I could. She showed up about two hours before I got off and I had them tell her I was with a customer. She went back home eventually but I didn't. I slept in my car that night. I drove out on the local scenic parkway, parked at an overlook, and just sat on the hood of my car devastated. I didn't move the entire night. I couldn't sleep. When I went home, it was only because I had to work the next day. She asked if we could have an open relationship; I said no; she kept cheating; we divorced

She then took a picture of them in bed, and SENT IT TO HIS MOTHER

Be careful of this kind of People.

Saher is an automated system for control and management of traffic. It uses high speed digital cameras and networking technology and is linked to the National Information Center at the Ministry of Interior of Saudi Arabia. Saher system targets and captures information about reckless drivers who are dangerous to the safety of others and their own lives.

While Saher system has played a major role in controlling the recklessness of drivers on Saudi Roads, and saving numerous lives, I find it necessary to point out the difference between reformative control and entrapping. In many countries, Police and Governments have been accused of "Big Brother tactics" in over-monitoring of public roads, and of "revenue raising" in applying cameras in deceptive ways to increase government revenue rather than improve road safety. I have the following examples and suggestions;

1. Installing a speed detection camera right after an entry lane is not a good idea. Drivers need to accelerate in the entry lane to meet the speed of traffic on the highway so that they do not disturb the highway traffic and do not force other drivers to perform sudden and dangerous lane changes. In the same way if someone is not merging at the required speed, the highway traffic has to speed up or slow down to accommodate the new entrant. All these maneuvers at the merging point require increasing speeds to avoid accidents for a few seconds sometimes. Installing as camera right at the the merging point seems like entrapping.

2. There are areas where the speed limits are posted to be increasing from a slower to faster speed. Installing a camera in such areas where drivers are about to be allowed to increase their speeds seems like entrapping or unfair. It is understandable to install cameras where drivers are required to reduce speeds but not where they are required to increase speeds.

3. Installing speed cameras at intersections is inappropriate. Pictures from the San Diego red light camera systems were ruled inadmissible as court evidence in September 2001. The judge said that the "total lack of oversight" and "method of compensation" made evidence from the cameras "so untrustworthy and unreliable that it should not be admitted". Drivers need to speed up if they are caught in the middle of the intersection due to traffic blocks or when they are unable to dead stop due green turning to amber in the middle of intersection.

4. Cameras have tolerances in one direction only. Normally 5% above the posted speed is not penalized and caters to probable mistakes in accuracy. Cameras do not penalize drivers going slower by 10% or even 50% than the posted speed. This sometimes causes other drivers to speed up and pass the trouble maker.

The Interior Ministry has launched a new online service that will allow citizens and expatriates to check if they have fines recorded under the Saher system and raise objections if they have any. The ministry said objections must be in line with specific requirements and guidelines, including that the person lodging the appeal should be registered on its website. In addition, objections should be filed within 30 days of the date of the traffic offense.

Driving is not just about speeds or speed limits. Be safe and be alert. Be courteous and accommodating. Traffic rules require "giving" not "taking". Always be aware of who is around you and at what speed, relative to yours, are they moving, passing, stopping or slowing down.

I got a call from New Delhi where a person told me he will give me free Iphone and I just had to pay delivery charges of Rs. 4000 for the phone. After having a lot of conversation over the phone and the messages, I deposited the money to the bank account of the company. Now they do not receive the phone or sms, I have lost my money.

Please do not give personal information and bank details to such people. They cheat you and take away your money. Also, please do not send the money to anyone until you see the product yourself. I lost a lot of money because of it.

My company forces me to go to this hospital only. If I go to some other hospital my insurance will not cover the expenses. The hospital is a chaos. No place to park. The staff is rude at the reception. Hospital is being run as a money making machine. The website of the hospital is so slow that its hard to perform any online functions. It keeps crashing and showing errors. Since the website uses SMS based authentication, getting back on the site is a painstaking process, it crashes again and again.

My wife wanted to see a gynecologist. It took us a dozen attempts to reach the page where we could select a doctor. Turns out none of the doctors shown in the boastful list were available. Booking an appointment either results in "no appointments available" message, or a system crash. How can no appointments be available unless the doctors don't exist. Then the available appointments with some doctors are a month away. In a conservative society like Saudi Arabia, more than half of the gynecologists are male doctors.

We started looking for other options on doctoruna.com/en and booked an appointment via phone at lower scale Jeddah National Hospital at Macarona Street, and found it very organised and welcoming. Of course we paid from our own pocket, but the payments were less than half of what we would have paid at DSFH. (less)

Lately I've been getting receiving numerous spam emails sent from bestwishes.space on various issues related to infertility, pregnancy but most importantly, these emails have been on promotion of treatment that one can use in order to be able to overcome the infertility issue. It appears as though all queries I've been making using Firefox in Linux are being data mined by bestwishes. This is because for the last three months, I and my wife have been researching on the matter and we would like to get treatment.

Use an antivirus such as ClamAV to detect a couple of viruses and malware in your system. When a spam seems to data mine information based on your searches, it is because the machine is infected.

I recently decided to make a mobile app for Apple and thus I had to register on the Apple developer website and make payments with my credit card. Since then spammers are sending me spam emails, phishing attempts, SEO services, and sales offers etc etc, all vaguely related to my newly created apple ID.

Emails are coming from Paypal look alikes, Apple look alikes, Google look alikes, MSN look alikes, yahoo look alikes etc etc all relating and referring to my activity on Apple website. I never had this type of spam coming to me before my connection with apple. I wonder how do these spammers came to know, what I did on apple website just a few days ago. Amidst all this Apple forces you to use your real name while registering, asks you to send a piece of ID to verify, I dont know what and bla bla bla. Making you vulnerable to so much spam. On the other hand if I wanted to get a real piece of ID from apple or talk to someone at Apple, it will be so hard to get to a live person.

All this spam filling my inbox. Is it just a coincidence. I dont think so, and One wonders how is Apple the most secure platform in the world...

The spam email msg looks like this >>

Sincerely,

I have stopped buying Apple or Samsung. We are making all these untouchables so huge, they have started manipulating our lives. I bought a new smart phone for 250 dollars from a Chinese website. It has all that others offer. 128 GB of ROM, 6 GB of RAM, has an extremely nice finish and feel, allows 2 SIM cards, is light like a feather, works with a well known open source OS, and I will throw it away after a year and buy a new one, much better in specs. There is nothing so important that I need to save on my phone and that only Apple and Samsung can make secure and safe. I have no need to spend USD 1000 on a false sense of security...

I'm keeping my name confidential for personal reasons but am submitting my story so that others can beware. I am also attaching a screenshot of someone else she did her modus on. I felt cheated, used and angry for what has happened. She hurt me emotionally because we started as friends and now, she owes me money.

I met Ann about a year ago at work and I immediately felt connected to her. She is a big girl with a really loud voice and she seemed to be friends with everyone. She seemed to be "in the crowd" but she also seemed to be a "keeper of secrets." I know she talks a lot, that's part of who she was and that's what makes her so bubbly and friendly but I have shared with her sensitive things about me, some even controversial and none of it ever surfaced. I knew I could trust her. She was my friend.

Now, during this time, I was doing side selling in the office to earn a little. What I do is I have a supplier overseas providing me bags, clothes, perfume, jewelry and other items and I offer it to my colleagues to see if they are interested and simply put, do the retail selling. Ann knows this and understands why I have to do it. As a single mom and the head of my nuclear family (parents and siblings), I need to maximize all possible sources of income and I simply need to invest. So when she said that she'd like to help me out, I didn't think twice. It started with one or two items that she'll just sell at the same rate I was - so she was doing it free of charge. After a week, however, her sales pattern was just astounding so I thought it would be fair for me to either divide the profit or better yet, be her supplier.

I earned about 200% of my usual profit in the first month. Sales dwindled by the second month for Ann and that's understandable, I still got profit for the goods that were sold. As a supplier, however, it was essential that I get paid for the items I passed to her (I have to pay my own supplier too!) but due to the nature of our relationship, I told her to pay me when the items are already sold. Ann told me that she'd like to be more aggressive and just sell any item that she could so despite a pending balance, she asked for additional goods. I saw this as a business opportunity because Ann was about to be moved to the morning shift and since there wasn't anyone selling goods in the morning shift, I being on the night shift, would be able to maximize the office market.

Sales improved the following month but Ann was still behind with all the stocks that were not yet paid. We talked about allowing a payout schedule (ie selling the items in advance and getting the payment on payday). She shared to me the buyers of each item with her and when we can expect the payment. All items were accounted for and I trusted Ann.

The fourth and fifth month wasn't any better but since everything was accounted for - and I was able to get to know the people on the list and confirmed that they owe Ann, I did not see an item of concern. Ann told me that the people are simply not adhering to their committed payment schedule causing the delay and I understood that. I also had a similar disposition in the night shift. I, however, had to ask Ann to cover the earlier supplies because it's creating a domino effect. She was quick to cover the remaining supplies from the second month but asked to hold off on the succeeding, at least until she is able to collect.

I wasn't oblivious to the other businesses that Ann was also doing. On top of the goods she's selling from me, I knew that she was also selling sandwiches and was also offering debt services (loan other people money and get 20% interest).
I was confident that she'd be able to cover the rest of the unpaid supplies as well as the uncollected payment as time passes.


I started to hear some word that Ann was in the hole on the sixth month. Word has it that she owes one or two people some money and was also behind her payment. I confronted Ann and she admitted that it was true. She relayed her difficulty in collecting the money and since it's staggered collection - the full payment for all the items that were owed was simply next to impossible.
It was a tough situation to be in. Ann was also a single mom and she can only accommodate so much. I understood her and gave her some slack. I was, however, starting to be concerned, and started to collect directly from the individuals identified on our list.

Some individuals were surprised that I was collecting from them because they did not know I was Ann's supplier. I stopped because I felt like it was improper for me to do so. But time was flying and I wasn't in any better state too.

We're now on our 10th month and Ann owed me about Php 200,000 - stocks and pending payment for purchased goods. All forms of communication with Ann are currently unavailable and/or inactive. I investigated the situation myself and found out that 1) she has already moved 2) she owed a lot of people money and 3) she also had a similar case in her previous call center.

I was so angry with what she did. For me, this is estafa on the grand scale! So I started to escalate her to her superior and unfortunately, I was advised that my business arrangement is personal in nature and the office cannot intervene. I was so pissed off and I felt cheated not only because of what Ann did but because the company I work for - with all its prestigious image and so-called care for employees - apparently cannot help me!

The 10th month is still ongoing and as I become more and more agitated and stressed of the situation, I realized that 1) I cannot press charges because I do not have a business contract 2) I cannot hold the company I work for liable because there was an office policy against selling without a license/approval 3) I have to charge this to experience and likely absorb the costs. I will not stop, however, in warning off others as regards the modus.

Be on guard at all times and always be objective. Don't be afraid to make a stand especially if you're on the right.

Spammers like to scare you, lure you, entice you, make you feel deprived, and give you a promise to fulfill common fantasies... Be careful eh...

Have you been online lately? Facebook mostly I mean? There are numerous business ideas being advertised and more so, the people falling victims are the youths looking to venture into simple and easy activities of making quick money. Some of them include Social Biz Connect and the most recent one, is Public Likes. The basic idea is recruiting individuals, getting them to join, upgrade their accounts by depositing $45 or more, and refer their friends in order to increase their earnings. while the starter account is free, it is limited to the extend that your earnings are pretty low. In addition, you cannot make any money off your referrals.

The catch is for an individual to upgrade after joining and for this, they have to pay the company to upgrade. There are some surprising facts arising from this enterprise that have raise an alarm on any one who has been scammed or has seen their friends get scammed. For instance, the site is not secure yet individuals are providing personal bank details, phone contacts and Facebook information. In addition, the administrators are declining to provide responses to the kind of work they pay individuals for while working on their website.

Scam or Real business venture, we only need to wait and see how it goes once the number of individuals upgrading their accounts and working with the company reduces.

Be careful when working with companies like Public Likes and Social Biz Connect that are making money from the affiliates to enhance the possible case of Ponzi Scheme. Any time, the Scheme could die down and tracing these individuals whose contact information is completely hidden from their site will result in huge loses of money.

I am an immigrant who wanted to shift from a duplex flat to 2BHK. We finalized an apartment building through a real estate agent and signed an annual rent agreement as well. When it comes to shifting to that apartment, we were shocked to see the presence of another occupant in the same apartment. I tried to get in touch with the agent but his phone was not reachable. I tried many times but all in vain and I received a message from the bank that the cheque had been cashed. Unfortunately, we don't have contract copy because that agent had taken it back, saying that he will return the same copy after owner's signature. We immediately approached nearest police station. They replied we have to approach Supreme Court (public prosecution) first. We did the same and opened the file.
For three months, we have been trying to register our case, but the CID officer asked us to wait. Every time I go for a follow-up, he tells me to 'come back next week', 'agent is not responding', 'he is out of country', 'wait more' and so on... When I requested for cancellation of my other cheques, he asked me to wait and keep a low balance in account as the cheque will bounce and they will find out the person if any complaint comes.
The agent is from Nepal and he left the country already. I am stuck now because the officials are not giving a clear picture.

No response from this company

I advise you to select an agent on the basis of their track record, character, knowledge and how you feel you will work together, then only trust them. Choose your agent carefully, and then allow yourself to trust them. This will only work if you continuously communicate with them.

Cashcrate offers surveys and tests. If you complete them, you receive a couple of cents. After having registered, I immediately started completing surveys. After 4-5, the site told me that it had no more surveys to offer. This is where the scam begins. They offer you 4-5 surveys per day. You complete them, thinking about that big money that should come anytime soon. But if you completed 4-5 surveys per day, it would take you months, perhaps even an entire year to reach 14-15 dollars, the minimum withdrawal sum. It's even possible to never reach that sum because there are days where they don't offer surveys at all. In my opinion, this is all done on purpose. In these surveys, you reveal a lot of personal information. 4-5 surveys of your personal information is a huge bonus for companies, which pay cashcrate to be as scummy as possible.

Don't use cashcrate. In fact, don't use any of those "win money for completing surveys". None of them are consistent, all of them make big promises and all of them keep your private information.

I was a privileged client of HSBC Bank from the past few years. I have held different accounts with the bank including savings accounts of myself. A Couple of days back, I, had applied for home loan under personal category, with the Bank. Promptly, a home loan processing fee of Re 12, 000 was also paid by me.

Subsequently, the home loan was approved and we were asked to pay an additional processing fee of Re 17, 000. Upon inquiring the reason for extra fee, we were told that since we own a personal business (Limited Liability Partnership), our loan was approved under business category. As we were not satisfied with the bank’s condition of loan approval under business category, we rejected the loan offered to us. Also, we requested for the refund of home loan fee (Re 12, 000 already paid). We were informed that a refund will be given after deducting Re 3000 (for address verification done) It is very unfortunate that even after 3 months, we have not received our refund of Re 9,000.

After giving up on receiving my hard earned money because of the indolent attitude of HSBC staff. I request bank to refund my fee, along with compensation for interest.

drs oaziza, ariba, alli, peter etc, please stop spamming on blogs! i was researching alzheimer's, found posts on this blog by spammers for these doctors. for HERPES treatment!!! dr.aribasplltemple@outlook.com; droazizaspiritualspelltemple@gmail; dr.peter.herb.solutions@hotmail.com

I am permanent residence of Bangalore. I have ordered a combo package including cake and flowers from Fern and petals for my friend, an online florist and gift store that guarantees same day delivery and the “delivery of fresh products – always.” But they failed to deliver the product on the specified day, and when they finally did deliver it the next day, the cake was “smashed up, made of cheap wine” and of a quality that was entirely unacceptable to my friend.

When I attempted to complain about the non-delivery of the product on the scheduled day, then I found that the customer care numbers displayed on the website were not attended. I managed to find contact details from other location. One of their representatives picked up the call and they told me that they have received my order after that they disconnected the call.

Few days later, Charu My friend complained about the delayed delivery of a substandard product over a chat conversation with the company representative, Neha, who, according to her was rude and paid no heed to her complaints.

Charu then approached owner of the company, which runs a consumer helpline. She told them if we did not get the refund So, you need to pay Rs50,000 as compensation for our losses, harassment and inconvenience, Owner gave us satisfaction that severe action would be initiated against them.


When Mr Singla- Owner of the company finally said that the matter was headed to consumer court and they would have to appear in person to justify their position. With a sudden and radical change of tone, it sent a politely apologetic email to Charu, with the promise of a full refund on the same day.

I advice to people that never ever, buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn't have SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption installed—at the very least. If they provide cash on delivery option then always go for COD. Cash on Delivery is the sale of goods by mail order where payment is made on delivery rather than in advance. If you are not available or goods are not paid for, they are returned to the seller.

When you are signing up, Payoneer offers $25 bonus to be credited to your account as bonus once you receive 100 dollars to your account. This is just a marketing strategy that is never implemented.
I applied a card after i saw this advert but my bonus has not yet appeared after a month!
I have written over 15 times to the customer support and each time they escalate the issue promising the bonus will reflect the following day.

Dear Customer,
We apologize for inconveniences caused. The issue has been escalated and in 24 hours, the bonus shall reflect in your account.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you,The Payoneer Team

Payoneer is a scam and a joke! No matter what you do, do not expect the fraudulent marketing strategies used by this company to be real!

I was riding my Vespa (2 wheeler) and I noticed a flat rear tire. I pushed the bike for 500 meters to reach the nearest tire shop. In Pune, India, puncture removal is a pervasive con. I will generalize and say that over 90 percent of them cheat you in terms of either service costs or punctures. The repairman removed the tire and I was standing diligently making sure I see no fishy business. Firstly, he fills up my tire with air and claims that the valve is damaged. I ask for proof. He removes it and shows it to me. I ask him to replace it. He quotes a price of Rs. 650, which is ridiculous. It is ideally sold at Rs. 150. I get into an argument and demand a lowered cost. Of course, these local goons do not produce bill, so no warranty. Then, I follow up with them to check the puncture. There were 7 of them and in all honesty, I could verify them. However, I saw 8 different spots where there was a repair done. The last one was done when I looked away. I argued and ended up paying just about Rs. 200 extra. But I wasted 50 minutes on this.

They offered a 'verbal warranty' for an overpriced tire valve. The repairman and his associates gave different costs when asked individually.

When you go to a tire repair shop in India. NEVER EVER let the tire out of your sight. Ask them to keep every tool away and clearly instruct them that no one touches the tire with a tool unless you give them an 'OK Go'. They are crafty, very crafty. Sometimes, they will use a tiny blade to rupture the tube or the valve while talking with you. The rupture the tube when you make eye contact. Sometimes they will patch the wrong area and claim the original puncture to be a new one. From all the repairman cons in Pune, India, tire repair shops are the worst. Be careful.

Few Days ago, I added 5000 in my Paytm account to buy some electronic appliances at around 10:45 am in the morning. Then, I logged off. I logged back at around 5 pm again to my Paytm account and was not able to login. Tried to reset password and logged on to see that my order was cancelled. I realised my account was hacked by someone and from the refund received the hacker had made 5 transaction of total worth Rs 4616. The hacker had also written some bad words in my profile. When i checked my Paytm wallet summary, I could see 5 fraud transaction with complete details of order id and transaction. These transactions were made through my wallet. I immediately reported this to the customer care of Paytm within 5 hours of these transactions being made. They asked me to write to their cyber cell of Paytm. I wrote several emails and the basic request was to hold or block these fraud transactions since all were done with Paytm partners and were not realised. The idea was take the right action to save the MONEY from going away. While we wanted to give time to the cyber cell of Paytm to investigate we at least wanted them to at least get these transactions being blocked or kept on hold. This was not done and nobody tried to talk to us on phone or interact on emails. We did several emails and phones but the customer care said we do not have cyber cell contact and you can just mail them and we cannot help you. This all was done by Paytm and finally result in losing my money.

Based on the fraud transactions being made, I kept on calling Paytm customer care service but there was no response. Their customer care service is pathetic. They make fool of their customers.

No response from Paytm

I advice people not to add money in your Paytm wallet. As they are making fool of their customers and the sellers who are selling their product on Paytm are not registered User. So, please don’t be cheated by company like Paytm.

I got a call from an unknown number who said that he is representing VISA international program and will give me a free international Forex credit card which has a limit of $8000 and can be used in multiple countries. He took information about my address, phone number and social number and my current credit card with all the details. Soon after I got a payment being made on a fake website from Africa and almost $500 being cut from my credit card

There was no phone call or sms after the payment was made and I lost a lot of money because of the fraud call

Do not receive calls from unknown numbers
Don't share personal Information about yourself.
Don't give credit card information.

I don't thing this kind of business is real. They don't have a genuine reference of product. They are showcasing the the product without source also. Their location, identity is not trustworthy at all. And the business deal is just insane . They are just trying to trap people through their easy earning advertise .

Ignorance is a good cure of this kind of problem. But conscious observe and careful step is more preferable.

Inheritance frauds are run by criminals who obtain email lists with account owners' names. They create mass mailings, describing how a fictitious individual died in a remote part of the world. If a recipient replies to the email, the criminal will engage in what is called an "advance fee" fraud, and attempt to convince that person to send money to pay for legal fees, bribes, or other expenses in order to get the money out of the country.

The owner of this account was Mr. Park Jun-Yung, a national of South Korea and an Industrialist. He died since 2007 and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Late Mr. Park Jung-Yung until his death was a Manager with a Gold mining firm in Burkina Faso.

I am contacting you as a foreigner because this Money can only be approved to a foreigner with a foreign account because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the account Late Mr. Park Jun-Yung is a foreigner. I am revealing all these information to you with the belief that you will never let me down in this business. You are the first and the only person I am contacting for the business so please reply urgently for me to tell you the next step to take.

You should forward the following information: Your telephone/fax numbers and your Residential address, which is also needed. You will have to give me the assurance that when we meet, this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing and disbursement of the fund which will be 35% for your assistance, 60% will be for us while 5% will be set aside to take care of all the expenses that would be incurred by both parties during the course of the transfer.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

The term "advance fee" refers to the money they get from you - and despite their promises of riches, you never get a cent in return. The criminal may also attempt to get copies of the person's identification cards, bank account information, and other information that can be used to forge bank drafts or commit identity theft.

The best approach to avoiding spam is ordinarily to be very careful about the distribution of your email address. Once you start to receive spam at a particular email address, you will usually end up receiving increasing amounts of spam at that address no matter what you do. Spam filters can by very helpful, software that helps to screen out spam email from legitimate email, but spammers work hard to circumvent filters.

Realistically speaking, anybody who has an active email address is likely to eventually receive spam email at that address. When that happens, most email providers allow you to report the email as spam,

I do not understand how the moment any of my domains near expiry on godaddy, I start receiving emails from spammers with expiration notices, in addition to due diligent renewal requests from godaddy.

Spammers have my full name, mailing address, domain name. The email from spammers is not for domain renewal but to pay for spamdexing. It is a form of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) spamming, which is the art of making a website attractive to the major search engines for optimal indexing. Spamdexing is the practice of creating websites that will be illegitimately indexed with a high position in the search engines. This violates Terms of Service of all search engines.

I have a complaint with Ola Cabs. I had booked a ride with Ola on 6th May at 6:45 am in Bangalore which was confirmed and the CRN was 113789550. However, in the morning on calling the driver Mr. Shri Gopal at 6:45 am, he refused to come without informing in advance and I already added money in my wallet. So, I called another driver Mr. Ravi was scheduled to pick me up at 7:15, after a delay of 30 mins from the scheduled time but he too refused to come and said he was far off. The customer care could not be contacted despite trying repeatedly for 30 mins. I was scheduled to give a national level fellowship exam in Bangalore in Electronic city scheduled at 8 am, but this was the biggest trial rather than the exam. After confirming a ride in advance, I was left stranded! The services of Ola have been pathetic. Without informing in advance the driver refused to come, Ola made no suitable alternative available. This is definitely not acceptable. Had I not been able to book an Uber ride immediately I would have failed to reach my examination venue in time. I travelled all the way from Kolkata to Bangalore for this exam and specifically recharged Ola money just to ensure pre booked rides but if this sorry state of affairs at Ola I would definitely warn people before they book Ola rides for any important affair. I was forced to avail of Ola services later also as I had recharged previously with Rs1000 without knowing the poor quality of services. I faced a great difficulty, but both ride now and ride later options could not be availed several times because of full slots. I am really disappointed with the service. I didn’t get my money that I have recharged with Ola.

No response from Ola Cabs

I advice people don't trust on Ola Cabs esecially in case of an emergency. Sometimes driver deny to pick you up from your place or sometimes driver cancels the ride on their own without informing the user.

Few Days Back, I got a call on my mobile no. at 08.25am from Airtel , One of the representative from Airtel advised me to update mobile services from 3G to 4G. He advised me to provide SIM No. detail and also answer via sms by pressing 1 to an Airtel message. I went ahead with his advice and subsequently my Airtel connection services stopped till filing of this report.

After few days he again called me in morning and enquired about Airtel connection services. I complained him that services are not started yet. He assured me that in another 3-4 hours your services will start functioning. When services not activated on my mobile then I contacted Airtel customer care number and customer care executive advised me to visit nearest Airtel outlet for resuming connection services. I took a new number and they assured me that services will be activated by evening and I was waiting for activation of my Airtel mobile connection. After few hours it was activated successfully.

Airtel customer care executives advised me to block all debit / credit cards immediately as in 3-4 days time, 05-06 cases have come to their office with same modus operandi. I immediately checked through phone banking my PNB Debit Card and found that amount of Rs.19, 000/- has been debited from my account. I also came to know through phone banking that a sum of Rs.75, 000/- debited to my credit card. These transactions made without my knowledge and consent. I tried calling on that number but number was switched off.

No resposne from Airtel

I advice people whenever you receive any call or email asking for your bank details or ask you to press any number on your number. Never do that or best solution is never responds to such calls or email. Don’t waste your time on such people the only result will be losing money.

IQ option is a binary options website which allows people to "speculate" if the stock price of a company, a currency will go up or down. If you guess it right, you will receive a payment of up to 91%. Seems fair right? Well, it isn't. In fact, it's absolutely fraudulent. It tries to convince you that it is possible to consistently win, as long as you analyze the stock price carefully, which is impossible. No one can accurately speculate whether the stock price will go up within the next couple of minutes, hours or even days. In order to give you the impression that is is possible, they provide you with "analytical instruments", such as the Bollinger bands or charts. None of those instruments help you in predicting the stock price.

Don't use IQ option. It pretends to be a broker like any other. But upon further inspection, you realize that it's a betting game, not a financial one. The outright majority of people will lose all their money in the long term. I've lost at least 500-600 dollars in total. Not because I was being stupidly audacious, but because I genuinely believed that the stock price could be predicted thanks to the analytical instruments. I was wrong, and regret it.

Never buy pizzas from here. I went to Dominos pizza store in Bandra, Mumbai and showed 25% discount coupon applicable on a minimum bill value of Rs. 350 to the staff before placing the order. I placed an order as such :1 Farmhouse pizza regular size - Rs.130/-,2 stuffed garlic bread - Rs. 178 and 1 coke - Rs.29.17 and adding Service tax to it the bill totalled above 350/-.

Till the time i got the bill i was of the perception that i would get 25% off on the whole bill value but then when i got the bill after making payment i was shocked to my utter belief that deduction of 25% had been made only on the pizza value and not on the other side orders i had placed. When i went to the counter and queried this, one of the staff ignorantly said that even the discount on pizza value was wrongly given to me as my pizza value was not over 350/- to which i showed him the discount voucher and explained that discount was mentioned to be given on the bill value and nowhere was it written that the discount was only on pizza value to which he pointed in the voucher showing the discount was not applicable on simply veg. /non - veg pizzas, combos and beverages which i agreed but queried that unlike coke, garlic bread did not come under the term beverages and was a side order and so discount should have been given to me on that inclusively along with pizza value at least, but he refused to budge and replied that without coke my bill value was falling below Rs. 350/- to which I said that it was a senseless argument and the main criteria of the bill value being more than Rs.350/- was fulfilled. Not adhering to my request to change the bill i ultimately asked him to call the head of the store.

The head came and i explained him what had happened but he was more poorer in responding to my queries and told me that as the bill was already made he couldn't do anything and that further terms and conditions applied. When asked what were the terms and conditions he pointed me at the voucher showing T&C* apply sign at the end which made me angry. What are its terms and conditions and that i was not a fool and shall complain of cheating myself in the consumer court forum to which he shamelessly told me to go ahead with it. Being fussed at his behaviour I took the order placed and left the place. I never expected such an irresponsible behaviour from a reputed company's employees towards its customers.

Being fussed at his behaviour I took the order placed and left the place. I never expected such an irresponsible behaviour from a reputed company's employees towards its customers.

I advice people before placing the order you need to discuss all the things with the order executive about coupons, discounts and their term and conditions. So, you will not face any problem.

A few weeks ago I came across an advert on Facebook whereby, Kambongosi Furnitures was selling quality Classy covers for 5 Seater sofaset. Their products could be custom-made and I looked forward to purchasing some and after chating with them, I placed an order and paid the deposit. Everything looked in order and there was no cause for alarm. The rest of the payment was to be paid on delivery, after two weeks. We remained in touch but after two weeks, the communication went cold. Three weeks later, nothing and they stopped picking calls.

Dear Customer,
We received your order, the seat covers shall be ready in two weeks and will be delivered to you within the cbd free of charge.
Thank you for using Kambongosi Furniture
Kambongosi

If you are cannot reach the seller or have a face to face chat with them in their shop, it might be wise to keep off any online based companies without clear indications of their operations. More specifically, avoid any of those claiming to be online based and they only advertise on Facebook using downloaded pictures.

I sold iTunes gift cards worth of 500 dollars on eBay and the buyer asked me to send iTunes codes through message as they required those codes. They kindly thanked me but seconds later, they disputed the charge on their Paypal account with the company. At this point, I was unaware of the proceedings and so, I shipped the physical gift cards to them in order to allow me forward the tracking number as proof of transaction.
When I realized I had been tricked, I complained to Paypal but nothing helped me to get back the money from the buyer since the company sided with the client.

I later complained to BBB hoping this would help me get back my money by making PayPal reimburse the money I lost. However,I was informed that since I happened to send the codes to buyer via a message on eBay, I was not eligible for seller protection. Paypal handles these issues so carelessly thus encouraging fraud, this is very much disappointing and discouraging for sellers, especially first time sellers on the site.

My apologies for the confusion and inconveniences caused. However, you are ineligible for seller protection since you send the code message to the client via eBay message. There is nothing we can do.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

If you are new to online transaction, please get someone with experience to help you know how to avoid being defrauded by Paypal and the buyers/sellers.

Growing up in Recto (Manila) means being exposed to a lot of underground jobs. I have a best friend, I knew him since I was 10. Things became different after high school I proceeded to a state university but he was forced to work at an early age. We still see each other and this is how I know that even if your job is a forger, I know that you are still a decent person.

A forger is someone who creates legal documents and forges the signature of the authorizing personnel. The forger normally has templates to use and has already made arrangements in terms of the printout, paper, and seals in order to ensure that the document will appear original. I knew that this is illegal but I turned a blind eye and never let this interfere with my friendship with Baste. Baste moves from one store/shop to another. He wasn't the one getting the jobs, he was only the one getting it done.

So when I graduated, I visited him on one of the shops he was working for and I shared my success. I brought my diploma with me and he looked at me knowingly. He said that it wasn't authentic. That was a low blow for me and was quite insulting but he said that he'll check just to make sure. He brought my diploma in and was out in less than a minute. He then said that he takes it back and confirmed that the diploma was authentic.

I found out through the grapevine a few weeks later that the less than one minute that he was away was all it took for him to use the information for forgery templates. It was necessary that templates are updated because of the new signatories and the seals and him being given an original, allowed him a fresh copy.

They say men are supposed to be strong and willful and should not be emotional but knowing that we were friends and he chose to trick me was a final straw. i was hurt emotionally and I lost faith in him and in our friendship.

Be objective and see people as they are now. Be conscious and cautious because people change. Do not tempt or test people if you are not prepared to be hurt emotionally, to feel cheated or to be disappointed.

Kenya has been hit by severe drought for months now and this has resulted in scarcity of maize, the stable food. As a result, the price of this necessary commodity has almost doubled in less than 2 months thus raising the cost of living especially in the rural areas. A few weeks ago the government announced the importation of mexican maize that would lower the price of maize flour to kes.90 from kes.150. The move was welcomed but to the shock of many kenyans, the maize flour never reached most people, especially those living in the rural areas. The price has however increased to kes.160 and it is likely to raise.
No more communication has been released by the government on the matter.

Politicians will use anything to get their way and entice voters to favor them during elections. Remaining focused and keen to detect viable leaders is the only way to bring change.

Fraudsters are now trying to get you to provide personal bank details to them by pretending to be bank representatives concerned of possible fraud activities related to your bank account.
I have been received spammed emails to my address bringing my attention to an urgent matter related to my account with African Development Bank. Apparently, someone is trying to transfer funds from my account on my behalf or has a signed form from me authorizing them to take such an action.

It seems an attempt to cheat clients of ADB of their money as the email lacks proper referencing, the email address looks like one of those automatically generated emails. In any case, actions that need quick actions, bank representatives are always advised to contact clients directly.

Ensure you enable spam email functionality for your email address and before acknowledging anything or providing a reply to such fraudulent, spamming messages, present yourself to the bank and confirm the claims.

I'm 18 years old and I'm excited with a lot of things happening in my life. I still live with my parents, it's common here in the Philippines and I'm currently studying in college. In a digital age, having access to the internet and being familiar with news and potential modus, I never imagined I will be one of those people who'd be writing their experience on websites like this. I was quite hesitant at first, you'll see why later on, but I think it simply has to be out there. If I had known this beforehand, I am sure I would have been able to prevent it from happening and here I am.

Classes are about to close and I was quite busy finalizing last few items at school. Nobody's home but me and the helper. The landline rang and I answered and a frantic voice said, "Who's this?" "Amy," I replied. "May I know who's this?" The person did not answer, however, and said, "Listen, Amy... who's there with you right now?" she asked. "Our helper, Mary," I said. "Who is this, please? I repeated. "Look, Amy, this is very important. How old is Mary, again?" she said in a rushing tone. I replied, "57 years old." "Okay, Amy, I need you to get a place to talk where she cannot hear you. Is there anywhere you can talk without her overhearing? Do you have a cellphone?" she said. "Yes, I do. What is this about?" I inquired, getting worried. "Amy," she said, "You do not want Mary involved in this, I'm sure you don't want her to be part of this. This is about your parents. Can you call me directly when she's not around?"

I said I will call her, and she gave me a cell phone number. After putting down the receiver (landline), I immediately went to lock myself in the bedroom and called her on my cell. I don't even know her name but my heart was beating so fast. She said it was about my parents. I heard Mary knocking on the door, asking me what's wrong but she was not supposed to be involved so I rudely shouted between the doors, "You don't get a say on what's happening with me! Leave me alone!" All these happened while I was waiting for the woman to pick up on the cell number and when I was sure and I thought that by this time, Mary has already left, the conversation started again. "Amy," the woman said in a reserved serious tone of voice. "My name is Irene and I am talking to you because my husband is against this proposition and will not tolerate what I'm going to ask you but I want to help. Your parents collided with our car and we met minor injuries. I was hurt and my husband was outraged and is pressing charges. All of us are now inside the precinct and the officers are taking our statement. Your parents are now being detained inside a cell and will be held there unless you cover damages that we have incurred. Your parents said that you have money and they have valuable items at home that you can use, is this true?" I was so scared and was fighting off tears but knowing that my parents were in jeopardy, I held my ground. I said, "Yes." "Your mother said, that you have a sibling, is this true?" the woman asked, and I said, "Yes." "I am telling you, she continued, I am not kidding. My husband is pressing charges and you do not want Mary nor your sibling to be involved, in all this. Do you want to talk to your mom?" she asked. I said, "Yes."

A muffled voice came on the line, I couldn't understand much of anything that was being said but I heard a whimper and I heard a little voice that said "Amy..." then some sounds. My mom was crying and my heart started to break, but I had to be strong. "Mom, don't cry. Don't worry, we'll get through this... I'm coming." Then she was gone and the woman was there again. "Amy, this is time-sensitive. I do not know how long I can keep my husband from proceeding with the case. I don't want any other people in your family to be involved. I want to help you. I need you to follow my instructions, can you do that?" I said, "yes." "Amy, first you need to be fast and quick in getting what your parents said as valuable to cover the damages. Get as much as you could, otherwise, your parents will go to jail. Understand?" I gave a verbal nod. "Second, you need to limit your contact with others, you do not want them to be involved. My husband can only be reasoned accordingly. Nobody should know. Do you understand." I gave another verbal nod. "Last, but not least, you will need to buy a different sim and call me from another number. Call me again when you're ready. I will need to give you directions on how we can meet so that my husband does not realize that I'm already accepting the payment for the damages and that I"m okay."

I followed what she said to the suit and immediately left with Mary calling out where I was going. I told her "to meet a friend at a nearby street." I removed my sim card and inserted the new one and called Irene. "Amy, I need you to hail a cab right now. Don't worry, you're doing this for your parents. I will help you." While inside the cab, Irene asked for me to pass the phone to the driver so she can give instructions and I complied. The driver had my phone talking to Irene the entire time, but probably seeing that I was so agitated, helped me be comfortable by telling me what Irene was saying regarding the place where we were going and the streets we were in.

The driver brought me to the 7-Eleven near the Manila Pier. This is where I delivered a small bag with my parents' jewelry and some cash I was able to earn over the school year. I asked Irene how my parents were doing and she said they're okay and were waiting for my action. She said that she was able to talk reason to her husband and he has put a halt on the case. She will just need to go back and bring what I promised and all will be fine. She asked me if I still have money left on me and I said everything was in the bag and she said, that will not do. You need to have a few to take the cab. She fished through the bag and gave me Php200. She said she needed to go back now, she doesn't want her husband to think that something has gone wrong and with that I said, thank you and we parted ways. I was relieved and I hailed a cab to go back home. Now, secured and no longer rushed, I removed the new sim card and inserted my old one and I saw multiple offline messages sent to me, asking me where I was and what happened with me. Mary, apparently, felt that something has terribly gone wrong and has been looking for me in the 5 hours I was gone. My phone being unreachable did not help her feel secure so she has contacted all my relatives to find anything that may be helpful. This was only the time that I started to doubt myself. I called my brother and told him I was on my way home, he was more frantic than Irene over the phone but hearing that I was en route, he said we'll just talk at home. I went back to everything that has happened while on the way. In my simple understanding of things - I really felt that I did the right thing. I did not provide a lot of information, I asked for proof of life, I was compliant. My parents should be fine.

When I arrived home, my dad, my brother, and Mary were waiting for me at the living room, as if a panel, who was going to interrogate me. The looks in their eyes were full of worry, concern, and judgment. Seeing my dad there was a big relief for me but my doubts started to tower. They asked me what happened and I started to tell them the story and little by little, I began to feel how I was cheated into doing what I did. It was only then I realized that my mom and dad couldn't possibly be together during that time of the accident because my mom was in the province and my dad was at work. It was also then that I started to cry.

What happened to me was so clear, Irene's face, what was said but I really couldn't do anything about the situation. For a while now, I did not want to share what happened. I felt really stupid for having fallen for it. But there's no changing the past. My mom has lost about Php180,000 worth of jewelry, my dad about Php 60,000 from his watch and ring and I lost about Php 8,000 cash.

I believed the fictitious story on the accident and paid for inexistent damages and accepted fraudulent representation. I also think I became ignorant of the modus and was not thinking straight.

I'm thankful that I wasn't killed in the process. I trusted a complete stranger, met with her at an unknown place - even if 7eleven was a public place, anything could have happened. I however, still feel cheated.
