-Don't Simply give your credit card numbers to strangers-
I open my email this morning and I come across this one email sent by my colleague. Thought want to share it to you all. Maybe you heard about email scam.. Did you ever heard about 'Hotel Scam'?.. Take your time to read this, you can make a change.. :)
FYI - true story
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU TRAVEL....and remind your elderly parents,grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone you know who travels. But especially the older generation, as they are more likely to fall for something like this.
Can't be too careful these days!
This so simple, and reading this, anyone could be caught.
You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.
Someone calls the front desk and asked for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following, 'This is the front desk. When checking in, we came cross a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.'
Not thinking anything you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/frontdesk. They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card information and address information. Sounding so professional that you do think you are talking to the front desk.
If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems. Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee.
This was sent by someone who has been duped......and is still clearing up the mess....
P.S. Please everyone, help spread the word by forwarding this info to everyone you know. Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty experience.
- A video of student fighting with a teacher spread in Facebook-
FULL video please click HERE
This should not be happened if both parties know about their responsibility. How could this happened?.. Where is teacher’s and parent’s role?.. Student, where is your manner?..I think teacher should attend in counseling or psychology courses before proceed to hold a teacher’s position. Parents should watch out their children’s activities and their needs too.
At the end of the day, the whole thing should be look back into basic situation. A personality of a child or students nowadays is derived from home and from role played by their parents.
Yes, these were about all things happened last week. To begin with last Tuesday, I went to office as usual and had my breakfast at office. I had a cup of Milo and piece of biscuit. Suddenly I felt something wrong with my stomach. Thought that I can bear it for a while, but it seem getting worse and after few minutes later it became truly worse until I can’t even stand. It made me think of what sort of meal I took the day before because I really didn’t understand why my stomach gone upset like that. Dear hubby was in Kudat. I am really sad at that time. He’s not in KK and suddenly I fell into chronic stomachache. Feels like I am the only one living in this world that nobody I have to went to. Thank GOD my family is around Putatan (about only 20 mins from KK) and I really can’t stand the stomach pain till I called my younger brother to fetch me up. It was about 9am. I have to wait for about 20 mins till he arrived and sent me straight forward to my parent’s house in Putatan.
As I reached at my parent’s house, I lied down on bed in weak condition till I fell to sleep. Around 12.30pm dear hubby came. I am so glad and it feels like a dream, I wake up and he’s beside me. Thanks GOD, I am really happy at that time. Then few hours later he brought me to see doctor. Doctor confirmed with me that my gastric pain is striking me again and it was really chronic till it affects my intestine. Yes, I had diarrhea before that. That’s how it started.. Doctor gave 3 types of pill. Of course there’s for gastric pain plus for vomiting and diarrhea which stated take it only if needed. Doctor gave me 2 days mc, so I didn’t turn up to office for couple of days.
The day after I went to clinic, I felt better and continuing taking the medicine that doctor gave me. I went back to office on Thursday. At around 5.30pm, my hubby fetched me up. You must notice why he picked me up hahaha.. Yes he took effort to be with me.. how sweet of him, but still I’m so pity of him . He had to drive to and fro from Kota Marudu and Kota Kinabalu, because he had to attend meeting in Kota Marudu for 3 days. I really appreciate what he had done for me, and I never take that for granted. Thank GOD I found him.
Later, at about 6pm, I received called from my mom. She wanted to bring me along to visit my aunty (uncle’s wife) in Likas Hospital. She admitted to ICU. However, I am not in the mood to go somewhere else since I’m just recover from my gastric pain plus I don’t want to be infected by germs in hospital thought that it will weaken my antibody in order to recover back from my sickness. So, mom just brought dad and my youngest brother to visit my aunty.
On Saturday, I felt much better. I went to office for half day work. Then, I went to Ms Sylvrina wedding reception. She was my schoolmate back in secondary school. She looked so beautiful on her wedding dress. She is currently working under health department and her husband is a teacher. We had so much fun on her wedding reception where we were served by various performances which include their 1st dance, choir performance, line dances, dances performed by their relatives and many more. And of course not forget to take picture with the bride while hubby had fun taking pictures of the couple since he always like to take picture of wedding couple for his photography learning process.
And on Sunday which is yesterday, I went to my aunty funeral. Remember I wrote earlier about my aunty that my mom asked to bring me along to visit her on last Thursday?.. Yes, finally she rest in peace 2 days later. She was such a strong lady. And I just knew yesterday that she suffered from servic cancer. She left her husband (my uncle which is Mom’s brother) 54 yrs old, 2 daughters and 3 sons. The funeral take place at our village in Kg Kinarut, Papar and were attended by relatives all the way from KK, Tenom, Tuaran, Kota Belud, Papar, Labuan, Sarawak and Singapore.
That's what really happened to myself and around me on the last week. Things have its up and down. What is matter the most, we have to be ready and surrender ourselves to GOD. Have faith in him no matter what things happen. Because He never fails to LOVE us. He never fails to care of US. He never fails to HELP us.. And these things also remind me that GOD can called us anytime..He can make us return to him at anytime that we never think of..
