Internet Dating -Personal Ads Scams-How to avoid getting scammed
Since the 1980’s one scam has raked in billions of dollars from it’s victims. It goes by many names but is most widely known as the Nigerian Scam. This scam has moved from postal mail to faxes, unto today’s incarnation using email. The basic premise of this scam is you are contacted by someone who needs money advanced to them, but the hook is, you will get a huge return back, since it is only temporary until their millions are freed up. This scam always plays out to be a large convoluted story involving lawyers, family and some catastrophic situation like death ...
Comcast Hijacks your DNS redirect- How to opt out of this, and not get redirected to porn sites like I did!
Hat tip to Bruce Wagner for the image, visit his blog to read more I am furious with Comcast. I have many reasons, but this post will deal with their new policy of "redirecting" your searches. Comcast has decided to redirect your searches if you type in something wrong or land on a not found page. This is completely different then Google, Bing, MSN, or Yahoo Search, which will show you a list of choices that may be close to what you were looking for or correcting your spelling. Comcast actually hijacks your results and takes you straight to ...
Nigera Scam moves to Dating Websites and Personal Ads
Well my, my the oldest scam in the book has moved itself to the personals. I was able to experience this firsthand. I recently put my profile up on Yahoo Personals and I had a few people who contacted me. One person sent me his email and I emailed him at r.hall@yahoo.com ( if any of you want to send nasty emails to this scammer, feel free.) I was very suspicious when the profile of this so called guy named "Randy Hall" was suddenly removed from Yahoo. He said he had a daughter and was widowed. I got an email back later ...

Social Media, Social Networking SMO, SEO, Hype, Blight or Right?
This is going to be an ongoing series. Who could possibly cover this in one post? When I was thinking about a title for this post, the word blight sprung to mind. I went to the dictionary to make sure I was using it correctly. What do you think? BLIGHT: 2: something that frustrates plans or hopes 3: something that impairs or destroys 4: a deteriorated condition <urban blight> I think the definition of blight can be applied to parts of what we are now all calling "social media". I never like it when a fad hits and suddenly all these so called "experts" ...
Fake Door to Door Magazine Sales- Don’t get scammed!
Scam Mentoring Programs, Work Programs, Training Programs that bus people from town to town. I live in a small town in California and on a quiet court where all the neighbors know each other for decades and we look out for each other too. We all have dogs that bark and no set schedules either so it feels fairly safe. That said we still get the occasional magazine scammers that are brought in from other towns to make illegal bucks off of you! In my case two blonde girls came up to the door and started pitching some program for "Urban Development Solutions" ...
How to add a signature to your email. (video directions too)
Outlook (video directions) Outlook Express (video directions) Windows Live Mac OS X Mail Using a signature file to promote yourself and your business. You’re probably familiar with e-mail signature (or “sig”) files — they’re the few lines of contact information that many of us put at the bottom of every e-mail we send. Most e-mail software programs allow you to create and use sig files — even AOL. I’ve heard some people who don’t use sig files defend their position by saying, “All my clients know my info — I don’t need to remind them with every ...

Before you hire an SEO “expert” check these things out first!
I get email almost everyday from people trying to sell me their "SEO" (search engine optimization) services. They promise to get my website to #1 on google, help me with keywords, and all kinds of things. I usually just delete these because they are so obviously form emails and spammy. Occasionally will click a link to the site and check it out. Quite often it will turn out to be something like the one I am going to tell you about now. Pathetic and very poorly done. You can save yourself tons of money and grief if you simply follow a few of ...
