BEWARE: Do you Return Call to your Miss Call?

Now, folks, do you ALWAYS call back the miss call no. you received even those which you do not know who it is?

 
Normally, I will not do so...unless the same no. miss call a few times...but then again, I would check and ask my intuition whether I should call back.
 
One day I receive a call from a number whom I do not know. Two miss call...and weird, it did not show up in my recent miss call list but appeared in my Maxis miss call notification instead. Not sure if it's an error on my phone network or hardware.
 
I did what I happened to do the other occasion, I googled the no :P yea..the last time I did, I found out it was from XXX bank.
So, I did it again...googled it and found this article from The Star Citizen blog. Really scares me man...so guys, better stay smart and alert on such cases happening around.....
 
Cheers and Be Safe!

Beware of latest scam by phone!
Posted by: redtiger

Please beware of the latest scam by phone. A woman claiming to be from Bonuslink calls you and tells you about an insurance scheme that will insure all your belongings including hospitalization for a maximum amount of RM10,000.00 [A very convincing figure! If she said RM1 million, eyes will pop out and the brains will generate suspicions]

The number she use to call potential victims is 03-20366555. Last week this number rang but I did not answer as I was overseas. I did not want to pay for the roaming fees for a number not familiar to me.

On Monday 1 Feb 2010 I tried to call this number and it was revealed that the number does not exist!

This afternoon the same number rang and I answered. She gave her name as Haslinda from Bonuslink. After her long and winding explainations, she asked me for my credit card details to do auto-debit for the insurance [Autodebit? She can use the credit card number to clone another card and make purchases faster than you can read this blog! ] I played along with her without her realizing I was trying to corner her. I asked her why the phone number does not exist when I tried to call on Monday. She said that is her call center number and the number is always busy and no one to answer [huh!]

Then she said she is actually from Hong Leong/Bonuslink. I asked which one and she repeatedly said Hong Leong/Bonuslink and telling me its the same, as if she was talking to a fool! I insisted its either Hong Leong or Bonuslink and she said Bonuslink.

I told her I will call her again. Before I could do that she called me again and gave me another number to call. I waited for 30 minutes to call because I do not want her to wait at that phone. I called and a chinese woman answered and greeted as UTS Agency. I hang up the phone.

I do not know what UTS stands [maybe its UNTUK TIPU SEMUA] for but for sure this is a new scam to get unsuspecting people to give their credit card details through the phone to a fraudster.

Malaysians are genius in conning people. They have nothing else to do but think about how to con people. Those working for these syndicates are also guilty.

I have already emailed Bonuslink to inform them of this matter and awaiting their reply.

So please advise all your relatives and friends especially those gullible ones to be extra careful when answering calls from numbers that not familiar to them.

Just my 2 cents worth for th Chinese New Year!

Man armed with hammer assaults pre-school children in class

Hi folks,
 
Have you read or heard the news...about a guy who used hammer and hurt children and caretakers in kindergarten?
 
I heard over the news last night and am extremely disturbed and horrified by the news.
 
To read more about the news, check out TheStar Online here.
 
Hope this unsound man would be arrested soon!


Have you started planning for school holidays activities?

Hi folks!
Have you started planning for school holidays activities?

I have been looking around and started thinking about it. Ever since KY started schooling, suddenly I am like other parents bloggers and non-bloggers alike, trying to plan ahead and think for school break activites…wow…time flies and as kids grows up, so do we as parents….interesting!

Lately KY seems to like colouring a lot, During my last trip to Johor, I bought her some colouring books to keep her occupied during the journey. Yeah, I should really start looking into self-printed DIY colouring book 'cos wow, it is not CHEAP to get a colouring book nowadays.  A few pages cost me MYR 5.99!! I can get those printed merely MYR0.40 cents for paper cost! Talking about having the time and money…I think I just need to be more organized and plan ahead in order to save cost!

Did I mentioned that I am planning to get my kids a piano or keyboard? So I have to really plan my expenses well so that at least by year end I can get one for them?

Anyone of you have any idea as on what age I can start exposing them for piano lessons? I heard some started as young as 3. KY would be turning 4 this July, so I think it is the right time.

How much would a piano(suitable for their age and preferably as they grow up too) cost these days?

Is second-hand one a possible option?

What type of keyboard should I be getting?

Lotsa questions in my mind now…if you all have any good suggestions or great places to source out these items, pls. do enlighten me! Thank you all in ADVANCE!

Coming back to school holiday activities, I have yet to have much clue, another reason being, hey we working parents got no public holidays at all for Mar and Apr..notice that? So well…any activities that requires our participation from us would be out of question.

So just got to stick to some normal and not too boring stuff…perhaps..colouring again? :P

 

Thinking …thinking..still thinking….how about you? Got it all planned out? PLs. share with me!!! Help!!! :D

 

Cheers!

Shone at 20 months

Time really flies, soon Shone will be turning two.

My goal to BF Shone till 2 years old nearly cut short due to recent flu attack and my own careless mistakes of not alerting the doctor that I am still breastfeeding. The flu medication I took was so strong that I can really feel my milk supply disappear just like that…just mere single pill I took. So sad…

I can sense that there's not much milk left but Shone is still sucking hard. Hopefully his diligence can sustain my milk supply while I try to get as much rest and nutrients I can to boost the supply back once more!

Shone at this age is so fun to watch! Ask any parents of a 20 month toddler!

He loves to entertain us and amuse himself.

-          Talks a lot

-          Sings a lot, his fav are Twinkle-twinkle little star, Incy Wincy Spider, and many other songs we used to sing or play on the Iphone application.

-          Like to perform and make funny expression

-          Loves feeding himself

-          Loves walking more than being carried (opposite to his currently 3 year plus sister who wants us to carry her all the time! We are thankful that not both of them want carrying at the same time, else we would really be building up our biceps well!)

-          Loves brushing teeth and washing hands & feet (including using waterless cleanser)

-          Cannot sit still on car seat or high chair during meals

-          Prefer pushing and examining his tricycle or small car rather than riding on them as if he's a mechanic…oh boys being boys huh? I don't recall KY doing that at his age :P

-          Loves his sister but dislike being hugged tightly or kissed by her

-          Mimic his sister act at all times, perfectly well at single attempt

Here's two of them on the piano, I think his hands movement really looks like a pro pianist..time to save up to get one for them!

 

Cheers!
