Online scam is a proven profitable business for as long as there are people who, most of the time, “volunteered” to become the victims. I purposely termed it as business due to the fact that victims were normally acted on their own without being forced. A crime would be forcing or threatening the victims in one way of another to get something from them. In the case of an online scam, it is not much different from a consultant doing what he or she is supposed to do with his or her client.. If you are lucky, you paid the right consultant that would get the job done. Otherwise, you just threw your money away… And in some cases, go along the legal or illegal ways to get your money back..
There is a news today of yet another victim who fell for an online scam. Preying on her desperation to get a husband, a conman who introduced himself as Hassan Williams, 50, a Muslim American, has been RM 300,000 richer after making promises to marry Azlina, 49, a consultant from Penang.
Reading the news, it was amazingly easy for the conman to do his job. It all started from an online chat site. He just needed to convince her that he knows Malay culture very well and asked her to move to Atlanta, Georgia. But before he could do that, he needed help to rescue his business due to some financial difficulties. Then when all her money has been siphoned, he got someone to inform her that he is already dead.
So people. be careful of sensitive or personal information that you want to disclose on the internet. Some of these information may and can be used against you. My rule of thumb is know your online friends. Identify and categorize your online friends based on real-life friends, virtual friends and total strangers. Then deal with them accordingly.
Be online but be careful..

It has been quite a while since my last update. I have been busy at work with some projects due dates that needed to be monitored and some clients that needed to be convinced that it is not all that bad when due dates are missed…
Back to my adventure in attending interviews and this part is about a company that provides support for Oracle Applications located somewhere in Kota Damansara. Talking about companies that carry and support Oracle products, they are generally financially stable and money should have not been an issue. However, in this case, I was proven wrong…
Before the first interview, I had to go through a 3-hour profiling exercise where I had to answers some questions that tested the way people process their thoughts. It was something like the IQ test and it felt as if I am applying to enter a degree program at a university where you took a test to determine the most suitable place for you to go.
I have just received another payment from myLot for my posting activities in November 2008. Why do I choose mLot even though many bloggers are telling me that there are other paid-to-post sites that are paying more out there? The answer is really simple. Here are the list of why myLot is my choice:
Firstly, in myLot, you can write about almost anything for as long as you are not writing something that is against or violating the provided guidelines. Most other paid-to-post sites require that you write your article based on a certain categories or based on the assignment given to you with a certain dateline. I am no good with assignments as I write what and when I want to write.
Then, on some other sites, the amount that you can earn is pretty much fixed whereas the amount that you can earn on myLot is dependent directly on your own effort. The more your write and the better quality your writing is would be translated to your earnings.
