Dear friend,

This message might meet you in utmost surprise. However, it’s just the urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am haji lambata from Burkina Faso in west Africa. I got your e-mail contacts from website after my extensive search for capable person. I prayed and meditated fervently over it and i committed it into the hands of almighty that you should be the rightful person to help out before I made up my mind to contact you today.

I have the opportunity of transferring the left over fund sum of $11.5million dollars into a foreign account and the said fund belongs to our deceased client. Hence, I am inviting you for a business deal where this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 60/40 if you agree to my business proposal.

Further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your return mail. Reply me here for security reasons, Email: hajilambata@voila.fr

Have a great day.

Thanks,
Sincerely,
lambata”

Weekend is almost ending again. In some parts of the globe, it is already Monday. I hope you have a lovely weekend. We have quite a relaxing one. Anyway, back to the main topic. We have a bit problem with our new flat screen Television. Since we use it, the pictures on the screen look blurry. Hubby would like to search for indoor antennas thinking that the reception of our TV will be better. He also have another option, to buy a satellite receiver. Since then, we seldom watch TV in our living room but instead in our bedroom which has better reception. Either option we can do, I hope hubby can fix it as soon as possible. The most important is, we can watch TV programs in our living room.

This is the first scam mail I received in my inbox this year. Last year, I received almost the same mail but different email add holder. Just be careful guys, if you received such kind of mails. It is a form of scam or spam mail which don’t need to be entertained. Below is the body of the mail.

Dear Friend,
My name is 2nd LT.Helen White , a member of the U.S. army Medical Team, which was deployed to Iraq at the beginning of the war in Iraq.
I would hold back certain information for security reasons for now until you have found time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you have an insight into what I intend sharing with you.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

Get back to me having visited the above website to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding.
Thanks,

Best Regards
2nd Lt.Helen White.”

I googled the email add helenwhite2020@gmail.com and I found a lot of infos that this email add is truly a scam.

First of all, I am very thankful to all the viewers, visitors and readers of my sites. I would also like to extend my gratitude to all my friends in the blogosphere who help me in making my blogging world a better one. I could still remember the time when I started blogging around seven years ago. Some of the things that I learned was about ecommerce web hosting, link exchange, SEO and a lot more. Since 2007, I became more active in blogging. I started to make more websites that time. I would say, blogging has help me a lot in expanding my understanding to a lot of things around me and exercising my thougths. I am also very glad to share my personal experiences especially my travels and some things that are happening in my day to day living.

I am hoping that 2011 will be a better and more challenging year for me and my blogging. I hope to have more thoughts and ideas to share more things and experiences.

I am finally online after doing a lot of errands today. The first thing I did was checking my inbox some minutes ago. As I was about to open my inbox, below errors occurred. These were the messages that appeared on my computer screen.

“Ouch!
The error, LaunchEmptyResponse, occurred when trying to connect to Yahoo! Mail.

To retry Yahoo! Mail… To proceed to Yahoo! Mail Classic…
This error might be temporary.
Go to Yahoo! Mail

To proceed to Yahoo! Mail Classic…

I did tried it again and again but I can’t still open my inbox. After maybe six times of trying it, I was redirected to my inbox. Another problem occurred, I can’t open any mail. After trying it around ten times, I can finally read my mails. I have no idea why these things happened sometimes in yahoo mail. Thanks goodness that all went well again.

Advertising is not a new word anymore especially to consumers. Wherever you go, from your home to your workplace, shopping, travelling, watching TV, listening over the radio or maybe go walking around your place, you always hear and see advertisements of all kinds and forms. It is a form of communication to attract and persuade audience, buyers and consumers to purchase products, services or ideas.

Here are some of the best ways to advertise Products and Services;

TELEVISION Advertising

I believed TV Commercial is best way to promote products and services. Advertisers are spending millions of money on this form of advertisements. No wonder millions of people around the world or in a certain country are watching Television most of the time, which makes TV Advertising the most popular one. A music commercial on TV is the most famous one because viewers can easily remember a song or jingle which is very easy to relate.

ONLINE Advertising

This form of advertising or online PR uses the internet and the World Wide Web to promote and deliver products, services or ideas. Some of the common online advertising based on my knowledge as a blogger include banner ads, text ads, email marketing and social network advertising.

RADIO Advertising

I love listening to the radio and this is one way where I always hear advertisements on products and services. I believed all of you are very familiar on how advertising works over the radio.

These are only some of the best ways to promote and advertise products and services. Everytime, I go shopping in one of the grocery stores nearby, I always see some ads on the shopping cart. Newspapers are also a good way of promoting your products and services. The word of mouth sometimes work-out too. Any more ideas?

Happy New Year! Although this is quite a very late greetings, this blog would only want to wish you a better and more prosperous New Year. And yes, even on holidays and weekends, these annoying callers are still bothering us. Even how many times we told them that telephone marketing in Germany is prohibited, they are still calling us almost everyday. The Telekom company told us that some of these callers are from outside of Germany. Sometimes, these callers are swindlers or scammers because they once victimized us. It happened once and we will not let it happened again. I wish to share an update in the future on how they victimized us.

Some of the numbers who are calling us since September 2010 are the following. Yes, I had been writing down these numbers since then.

0694015909771
008474901686
0711546546
00971506792832
04034724929
0694015909771

These are only some of the callers’ numbers who are calling us. More updates about the tricks of these annoying callers soon. Just a reminder, never ever entertain these annoying callers. Most of them are swindlers or scammers.

Holidays are still not over. New year parties are coming soon. Then comes the Three Kings celebration. What else? Now, I see and experience how Europeans celebrate their Christmas holidays and other celebrations as well. It was quite interesting but I would say that Filipino party is quite merrier. There are always a lot of foods on the table. It is more merrier because of the the singing and dancing of karaoke songs. It is always nice to spend time partying with friends. And you know what is always my favorite? It is always the food on the first place. I have some friends who can truly cook and prepare delicious foods. Another party is coming again on New Year! Have a happy and prosperous New Year 2011 to one and all!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everything went well during your Christmas celebration. We did had a wonderful one.

What’s up for today? Spammers are striking again. I received another fraudulent mail this morning. How I wish that I can truly have the money that they are talking below but sad to say, these are all frauds and scams.

I already reminded you a hundred times not to believe in this kind of scam in the internet. Be very careful and never ever give your personal information. Below is the body of the spam mail which I copied from my inbox and pasted here.

I believed most of us want to save money while shopping. Anybody who wants to disagree with me? With the financial and economic crisis that millions of people are experiencing right now, I truly agree that everybody wants to save every single penny when shopping. One of the best ways to save money while shopping is to find goods or products you always need that are on sale. How about using promotional or discount codes from Personalcreations.com? I also always watch for summer and winter sales because during this time, you can buy stuffs that have higher discounts.

Every weekend, there are advertisement flyers or leaflets that are send to us. This is the time when I also watch and take note all of the goods and food items that are on sale. I believed one of the most effective way to go shopping especially for grocery items is to make a list of the items that you really need. This is to avoid getting some extras.

Anybody out there who has other tips to save money while shopping?
