Facebook Scams and How to Tackle Them

Image
Online scams are ever increasing. Almost in every phase of the online world, you will come across scams. Social networks are no exception for such malicious activity. Recently, millions of accounts from LinkedIn and eHarmony were compromised. Facebook seeing danger has updated its security and is advising its users regarding various scams and how to fight them back ‘Please send money scam’ An unknown account sends a message stating that he/she has been mugged. Descriptions of events seem accurate including real names and places. Finally, the sender requests a certain sum, which will enable him/her to return home safely. Facebook has attributed such scams as ‘Please send money scams’. The sender’s account is either fake or has been taken over by cyber criminals. On receiving ‘please send money scam’ messages, Facebook advices to report/block the account. Phishing Phishing is a common way to to hack account(s). Phishing links are sent within messages or through chats. Phishing link

How To Delete Yourself From the Internet: It Can Be Done!

Image
If someone has written an unfavorable comment about you and if the content pops up first when people Google search you, you will want to erase it. You may also wish to remove a post that you yourself posted on a website. As is the case with most websites, their terms and conditions deny you the right to edit your content once you post it! Such content can often come up in Google when people search for you. This can severely damage your reputation. However, a fact that you need to understand is that Google is not the source; it merely lets the content be found more easily. Google does not have the original file; it is with the website that has put up the content. So, contacting Google to remove the content will not do anything. So how to delete content once you post them online? Deleting any of your personal uploads like an article, a picture or video, an account, a website, a blog is not always easy, but it CAN be done. To delete content, you have to talk to the webmaster or whoever

How to Detect a Phishing Email: An Example

Image
Some of my important emails end up in the Spam folder due to incorrect filtering. So, I occasionally check the Spam folder to see if an email that was not spam ended up there. Today, while checking the Spam folder, I came across an email that was a classic example of a phishing message. Hence, I decided to share it here to point out some common tactics used in such messages. Here is the email (Image at the bottom):- The phishing message. One look at the from address should be enough for anyone to judge that this message is not genuine. Messages from most companies are through a no-reply address. Also, most companies contact you from an  email address that is on their main domain, not some random free email provider. Moreover, almost all email providers use an interstitial page in the situation described in this message. None of them sends an email asking for verification. Another important thing to notice in this message is the Sent to: field. Notice how it mentions undisclosed rec

Why a hard drive has less storage space than promised?

Image
It has happened to most of us. We buy a new hard drive (or maybe a flash drive) with mind boggling storage capacity only to find that it has less space than what was mentioned on the box. Angered, we start cursing the manufacturer and our dealer for false marketing thinking that they should be sued for doing this. Hey, but have you ever wondered how they continue to do this again and again without getting into legal trouble? The answer is that they are not marketing it falsely at all. Surprised? I'll explain. A manufacturer considers 1 Megabyte to be 1000 Kilobytes, 1 Gigabyte to be 1000 Megabytes, 1 Terabyte to be 1000 Gigabytes and so on. This is correct considering that kilo means 1000 and mega means 1000000 (10^6). However, computers calculate on base 2 and to them, 1 MB is actually 1024 kilobytes, 1GB is 1024MB and 1 TB is 1024GB. This difference in the method of computation is responsible for this "missing space." Lets take an example of a 500 GB hard disk. From

Is Antivirus Useful, and How Do You Safeguard Your Device?

Image
Whether you are dealing with people or machines, viruses can seem like a real threat. Because of that, the antivirus industry, for both people and machines, is big business. Concentrating on antivirus for machines and devices, this week we asked our writers if they found antivirus software useful and how they safeguarded their devices. Our Opinions All in all, our writers mostly agree. No one seems to use it very regularly. Miguel sees antivirus software as “something that gives a slightly false sense of security.” He explains that “viruses have grown in sophistication and are often not easily removed by standard antivirus software.” As for safeguarding, he replied that he does so “with my own prudence.” Vamsi doesn’t use any antivirus on his Windows PC other than the default one that is provided by Microsoft. Yet, he does use Comodo Firewall as “it makes it easy to configure different firewall rules and even alerts me when a program is trying to connect to the Internet.” As for his

How To Resist The Urge To Cheat On Your Partner

Image
If a person sincerely believes that adultery is wrong but nonetheless feels a very real temptation to cheat, what can he or she do to lessen the chances of crossing that line? There are many lessons which we can borrow from the literature on self-control, weakness of will, and procrastination that may help the perpetually tempted yet well-intentioned person stay faithful to his or her partner. 1. Try harder. This is usually the least satisfying answer, and is also often seen as the least realistic, but I wanted to get it out there so readers can dismiss it if they choose. As I’ve tried to emphasize from time to time since my first post here at Wall Streams, we underestimate our own power to resist temptation through sheer force of will. Of course, our willpower is not limitless, as we know from the work of Roy Baumeister, Kathleen Vohs, and others, and it can easily by exhausted by other mental or physical exertions. Nonetheless it is possible to do in many cases, and as I’ve argued b

4 Mental Tricks To Conquer Fear

Image
Fear is the enemy of success. Large rewards only result from taking comparably large risks. If you’re ruled by fear, you’ll never take enough risks and never achieve success you deserve. “If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s that the actions that scared me the most at the time–leaving a cushy corporate job to freelance, asking my beautiful wife for a first date, and adopting our two kids– have also paid off the most.” That doesn’t mean these moves aren’t hard at the time, but I’ve managed to retrain my brain to get past the momentary fear and push toward the payoff. Here are four ideas that I’ve made an integral part of my thinking: 1. Value Courage Over Security – Repeated surveys have shown that most people value “security” over just about everything else in their lives. People will put up with jobs that they hate, marriages that make them miserable, and habits that are killing them (think “comfort food”) simply to feel more secure. To conquer fear, you must consciously d

Three Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Marry For Love

Image
Soughton HallWedding Photography By Ashton Photography www.ashtonphotography.co.uk Those who don’t marry for love in our culture are considered unlucky, suspect, manipulative, exploitative, and bad. We feel they are either doing something wrong or there is something wrong with them. It makes us feel everything from sympathy to contempt for these folks because most of us were taught that love is the only “right” reason to tie the knot. But if you really think about it, love is a luxury. When you marry for love, it generally means you have all — or at least most — of your other needs met (like food, shelter, warmth, etc). That may explain why those with fewer financial resources also have lower marriage rates: If you’re worried about your survival or safety, you’re not going to be focusing on finding the man or woman of your dreams — unless of course this dream person is your ticket out of your terrible home life, dreary financial picture or scary “singledom.” Procreation has always

10 Categories of Jobs that May Reduce Chances of Making Heaven

Image
1.Politics Even though the Bible says we should not judge others; personally speaking and generally summarizing, our politicians have little chances of making heaven. This is because the world of politics is a different world on its own where all sorts of atrocities are performed. One of my lectures, before he passed on, always said that an average politician is a looter and can kill to find his way to the top 2.Police We all know that the larger percent of our policemen are very cunning and dubious. They are always using devious ways to get money. Some of them will arrest innocent civilians on the streets and will force them to write report of guilt. To find a policemen who doesn’t accept bribe, is likened to finding the actual amount of money looted by GEJ during his tenure 3.NEPA Next in rank are NEPA officials. These ones share the same characteristics with our policemen. NEPA officials, who occupy top positions are always very rich. This is because they collect bribes and ma

7 Ways To Overcome Jealousy In Relationships

Image
Most people feel a little jealous sometimes, especially when they have strong feelings of attraction and love for their partner, and a little jealousy occasionally can add zest to a relationship. But just as a spark can illuminate a room, a blaze can burn it to the ground. So what’s behind jealousy? What does jealousy in a relationship mean? At the root of jealousy lies fear of loss. Like many jealous partners, Kevin feared loss of their relationship, loss of self-respect, even loss of ‘face’ fearing how his friends would see him if he were to be ‘made a fool of’. Fear makes for feelings of insecurity. When fear lessens, so does jealousy. More than feelings of fear, jealousy also leads to a smorgasbord of other emotions such as anger, hate of love ‘rivals’, disgust (sometimes self-disgust), and hopelessness. So why might a person be jealous? Kevin’s ex-wife had cheated on him and he felt he’d never got over this. ‘Once bitten, twice shy’, he was now creating imaginary threats. We’r

Must Read: 15 Easy Ways To Beat Anxiety Now

Image
Technically, anxiety is apprehension over an upcoming event. We anticipate the future with sometimes scary predictions that don’t necessarily have any basis in truth. In everyday life, anxiety’s physical and emotional symptoms can mean an increased heart rate, poor concentration at work and school, sleeping problems, and just being a total Crankasaurus Rex to family, friends, and co-workers. Anxiety and stress are physical and emotional responses to perceived dangers (that aren’t always real). And since most of us aren’t running from tigers or hunting and gathering in the woods, it’s often the little things that put us over the edge: an over-loaded email inbox, morning rush hour, or losing those keys before running out the door. Luckily, it’s easy to beat this kind of stress with just a few easy changes added throughout the day. Note: If you feel like you might be dealing with a serious anxiety disorder, please talk to a medical professional about treatment. There are lots of options

Image
Spanish Giant, Real Madrid retained their place at the summit of the world’s 20 richest football clubs for the 11th year in a row, having generated £439m, according to Deloitte Football Money League. Although, half of the top 30 highest-earning football clubs in the world play in the Premier League, but Spanish sides Real Madrid and Barcelona lead the way. Real’s arch-rivals Barcelona rose two places to second on the list, pushing Manchester United down to third. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich completed the top five. Real Madrid actually saw a £4.3m fall in broadcast revenue but significant gains in commercial revenue and matchday income made up for the loss. “It would not be surprising to see Manchester United top next year’s Money League for the first time in 12 years, with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m.” Tim Bridge, Senior Manager at Deloitte Real Madrid richest football club for 11th year running: Sky Sports The 2016 Deloitte Football Money League (201

T-Mobile set to launch the BlackBerry Priv on January 26th

Image
We call your attention to the entry for January 26th, which shows that to be the date of the BlackBerry Venice launch for the carrier. Venice was the code name originally used for the BlackBerry Priv, which is the Android powered slider manufactured by the company. Currently, those in the U.S. wishing to pick up the device have to purchase it unlocked from the BlackBerry, Walmart or B&H Photo websites, or locked down from AT&T. A Verizon version of the phone has just visited the FCC, and Big Red has already sent out a tweet saying that the Priv will be coming soon. T-Mobile hasn't been so open about whether it plans on offering the slider. Back in November, the carrier was said to be in talks with BlackBerry over the device. Since then, we've heard nothing. That is, until this tip just crossed our inbox. Other events mentioned on the calendar include the launch of a phone called the ZTE Avid Plus on January 20th, the same day that some price changes are apparently du

How to take a screenshot on the LG V10 and LG G4

Image
The LG V10 and LG G4 are two of the top smartphones you can get at the moment: they boast impressive cameras, vibrant (but not necessarily color-accurate) displays with a Quad HD resolution and a custom Android skin that has improved a lot in terms of speed. Press the volume down and power key for a short while Both the LG V10 and LG G4 also have their physical keys on the back of the phone. So how do you take a screenshot on the LG G4 and V10? In fact, it's the same shortcut as on many Android phones: just press the volume down and power/lock key simultaneously. If you are crafty enough, you can even do this with one finger. You will know that you have captured a screenshot on the LG V10 and LG G4 as the whole screen will flash quickly and you will see a little icon appear in the notification tray at the top. The screen grab is then saved on the phone in the Pictures > Screenshots directory, from where you can easily offload it

Extend the battery life on your Microsoft Lumia 950 XL by not feeding Edge

Image
Smartphone battery life is one of several things that we humans just can't get enough of on this planet. On the new Windows 10 Mobile powered handsets, it appears to be a genuine problem. Take the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. A 3340mAh battery is inside, and while that might seem large enough to power up the phone for a long enough time, there is the matter of a large 5.7-inch screen that needs to be lit up. And with the display carrying a QHD, 1440 x 2560 resolution, more power is needed. If you go to Settings >System >Battery Saver >Battery Use, you can see which applications are too demanding on your battery. Often, it is the Edge browser that is the culprit. Because the browser can run in the background, web sites full of ads or data that update in real time can munch away at your battery life. That is true even if Edge is not in use. Thus, it would make sense to expect battery life to improve if Edge could be disconnected from the network when not needed. There happens

Microsoft says update to Windows 10 Mobile is coming soon

Image
If you're not a Windows Insider, the prospect of updating your Windows Phone 8.1 powered handset to Windows 10 Mobile probably has you excited at the thought of running a brand new OS on the unit. Back in October, it appeared as though the update would take place in December. By last month, it was clear that Windows 10 Mobile wouldn't see the light of day until early 2016. Wireless carrier Vodafone Australia said that it is waiting for "bits" of the OS to test, and expects this to happen by the middle of this month. Another mobile operator, Movistar Spain, now expects to push out Windows 10 Mobile at the end of this month. Tweets sent out today from Microsoft's Lumia Support Twitter account reveal that the Windows 10 Mobile update will be taking place "soon." If we put together the comments made by the carriers with the tweets disseminated by Microsoft, it would appear that the Windows 10 Mobile update will start making their way to Windows Phone 8.1 p
