If you ever receive any reminder from any of your online account like PayPal, make sure it is not a phishing email.

If it is a phishing email, and you login to your account by clicking the links provided… you are DOOM.

You are not login in to the real site but at a phishing site… they try to fish you by fishing you!.. and you eat their bait!

When the link provided clicked, it will bring you to a very long URL.

http:// adsl-69-155-94-28.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net/paypal.com/webscr.php?… (it’s very long but i shorten it… same with the rest)

Then you will be redirected to another site….

http:// 83.38.2.105/paypal.com/index.php?cmd…

Notice the http:// 83.38.2.105/paypal.com/…

Yea, looks like it belongs to paypal.com

Phishing always put the ULR like this. In actual fact, the site is not http:// paypal.com but http:// 83.38.2.105

Here, the paypal.com is the subdirectory of http:// 83.38.2.105, so it is not http:// paypal.com site.

Another example from http:// numenmail.com which always come to my inbox saying I won $400

http:// numenmail.com.l-pages.l-prize_center.php.l-id.8d.5k.nq.tq.rv.s3.lang.in/whois.php?…

Always look for the first slash ‘/’ to start interpreting the URL…  this site belongs to http:// lang.in

The next time you see a long URL, make sure the first part is the site you really going to… check to the left from the first /

The PayPal phishing email I received today: . . . Continue Reading »

Vortrack posted about the MyMiniCity today. It is some kind of online game similar to the Sim City.

So far, what I understand, you don’t have to do anything once you build your first ‘house’. It started with a single house. The more visitors comes to your ‘house’, the more populations you get and your city will grow automatically. There are few stages like industry, transport network, security, environment and business.

Anyway, please feel free to visit my DIMBATA City.

And you can also visit VORTRACK ZONE.

Just look how tiny my first house is… come… come… come… I’ll give each of you ONE VIP BANGALO LOT valued $1.5M… and Golf Membership valued $100K is included free 😆

My area experienced a heavy rain and thunder yesterday evening around 4pm. But there was something with the rain and thunder… ice the size of golf balls.

Really miss the opportunity to experience and get the pictures of the hailstorms at my house yesterday.

My mum said, the roof was ‘noisy’ when it rains yesterday. Since it was a heavy rain with thunder, no one bother to check what happening outside. Well… I’m still at the office during that time.

Lately the sky is a bit unusual probably its too cold up there. The cloud is super white and thick in every evening other than raining most of the evening.

I don’t think this is the fist time it happened here. A few years back, my cousin had the same experience in Keningau about 200KM from here.

When I woke up this morning, I felt like going golfing somewhere far away and not around here anymore like always. I guess I’m feeling like this because I’m over burned lately and wanted to runaway for awhile by going golfing and cruising… in Hawaii probably.

Finding for Hawaii cruise vacation packages is not that difficult, I can use TravelStore to arrange my getaway cruise and golfing in Hawaii. I can cruise in their cruiser to go around the islands for few days to relax my mind and cool down from the over burned. And at the same time I can use my big gun, Canon 40D, to snap my journey. Then once on the main Hawaii Island, I can play my golf in the most exquisite golf courses in the world… trust me, their golf courses will make you feel like you are out of this world. With my relaxed mind, I’m sure I can hit longer and probably get a few hole in one 😀

You can crop, rotate, tweak, twirl and then show off your photos with this Photoshop Express 😀

OK, go and have a loook at it over there… 😀

Everyone wants to look younger. And everyone wants their skin to be as smooth as the baby skin. Cosmetics are the most sought after by these people who are very sensitive to their skin beauty. Sometimes they are willing to spend on their cosmetic more than what they are willing to spend to their family. Ladies especially, will always look for the best skin care products available.

Products that could help make the skin younger and elastic will always be the favorite like the Ethocyn which was discovered by Chantal Burnison. Through her research, she discovered a compound that could help increase the skin’s elastin content. As we age, our natural skin elasticity diminishes. With the discovery, she comes out with a skin care product line called Ethocyn which includes cleansers, masks, moisturizer cream, AM and PM eye cream, and other face and body skin products. These products will make the skin look fresh and youthful. If you are the type who care a lot about skin beauty, I’m sure the products are available near you 😀

We are a very heavy user of Hewlett-Packard products especially their laser printers. We have to buy lots of consumable every year. But the good thing is, they have some kind of loyalty program called Hewlett-Packard Original Rewards. Every original consumable such as toner or cartridge we purchase will carry special codes. When the codes are registered on the web, it will give points.

Last month I have about 40K points expiring from a total of about 100K points. I must exchange the points with goods offered. So after browsing through the good offered, I settled for one product which will cost me about 75K points. Last year, I’ve used about 45K  and 7K points for 2.5L Unbreakable Stainless Steel Pump Pot and Humboldt 12 in 1 Pocket Knife in Double Blister Pack.

On Monday, I received my 75K point’s gift from Hewlett-Packard.
