Discuss your organization skills here!| Beware of facebook | | I blog hop and get to see this blogger share about an article about Facebook security. It is worrying after reading the post content. It goes this way: A friend complained, "her account facebook has been hacked ". All the photos gone. Can not login. In the end, my friend had received email containing the threat from hackers. His photographs will be modified in such a way as to be immoral photos complete with negative stories. Photos and stories will be distributed all over the world, except my friends want to pay according to the hacker wants.Although we had arranged our privacy, such as who can see profiles, who can see the pictures, or who can comment status, can still show the nature of information and important details. Complete address, telephone number/ hp, not included. Than sorry later on. We don't know all around us, there are many hackers who are ready to devour any time anywhere.Let me know what do you think about this issue?

| | Would You Use This? | | TaxAct is an online area that permits the filing of federal taxes free.Would you ever consider using such a service?At the price, it can't be beat ... BUT ...!With all the Internet hacking going on, would you trust your Social Security number, your home address, telephone number, employer name, how much you earned, bank name and account number (for refund direct deposits), to be open to being hacked?In theory it appears to be a good deal, but I would never risk having my information open to hacking, probing, being used to steal my identity, etc.On average it costs me roughly $300.00 to have my taxes prepared by my accountant (who is in Pennsylvania), and mailed back to me to mail to the IR(effen)S.I might be paranoid, but I've seen far too many reports about sites being hacked, and I don't want ANYONE to know how many millions I'm worth and what my bank account numbers are.How about you?Do you prepare your own taxes? Deal with an accountant? Don't pay taxes? (KUDOS TO YOU!) How do you handle your "responsibility" (which is not a law) to report your earnings?Memo to self: It's better to be paranoid than to be parapoor by being parahacked. (C)... | |

| | Fraud and Scams on Craigslist | | Hello Mylotters. Has anyone experienced the following on Craigslist? Here is my story.A week ago, I placed a classified on Craigslist attempting to HONESTLY sell an antique piece of furniture. After I had the classified approved, all I received over a three day period of time is the following type of email:Hello Seller:I very much like the item you have for sale. I want to buy the item and will be sending you a cashier's checque for a _______ amount that will have the mover's payment included. I will add anywhere from $50.00 to $150.00 on top of your asking price. When you receive the cashier's checque please cash it and remove the cost of your item. The rest will be delivered by the seller to the mover. I want to buy this item for my son who is having kidney transplant this week and want to give it to him as a gift.I very much await your reply. Please give me your name, address, telephone number so that I will know where to send your check.HA! These such emails are scams and Craigslist does warn about such emails. What happens is that yes, you do get a cashier's check which appears good and the bank cashes it for you. Then a few weeks later, the check then is... | |

| | Do you think those UK lottery winning emails are Legit or scam? | | I keep recieveing emails about winning a large sum of money from the Uk and well i dont know if its real or a scam? I would most definately collect this money but dont want to disclose any info if its a scam. It doesnt ask for my social security or anything but it does as for Name of Beneficiary, address,city/state,nationality,sex,email address,telephone number,occupation,next of kin,age,amount won, ticket number ect.. But i think some of these are pretty weird, next of kin and beneficiary. What do you think? | |
| | Should you write your account number on the check when paying bills? | | Whenever I'm paying my electric bill or car insurance bill through the mail, I always try to remember to write my account number on the check. Partly, for the reason that I think they won't know which account to credit the money to otherwise. However, I think there should be some other way for companies to identify their customers, like a home address, telephone number etc. What do you think? Isn't all that customer information contained on the bill anyway? Why do they need an account number? If you sent a check for payment to a company and it didn't contain your account number do you think that they would be able to credit the money to the proper account?
What would you do if you sent off a check to pay a bill and forgot to write your account number on the check? Would you call the company and tell them what you had done? | |
