Scam is happen every where and anytime, either offline or online. Recently I received a call saying that I was missed on a court hearing on a criminal case. I was shocked to hear that and I further investigate with the caller. The conclusion I got from the conversation is this is a scam.

To find out the similar news happen to others, you can read from Jee’s blog, USJ Forum and Tenth Of March. If you receiving some voice mail call and saying you miss the first hearing on court case, you should hang up the call immediately.

I have some tips for you to pick up in order to avoid becoming the next victim.

Tips #1: Stay clam and cool

Most of the time, we are falling into our self-made trap. If we stay clam and panic, we can avoid this happen to us most of the time.

Tip #2: Read Your Local Newspaper

This case was reported in the Star paper and the reason I didn’t know this after I have stop reading newspapers regularly. I learnt one thing from here, you got to constantly read local newspapers from time to time, help you aware of what’s happening in your area.

Tips #3: Do not disclose your personal info.

Most of the time, they don’t know who you are except the contact number or your name. Try to ask for their identification before you disclose your personal data.Take for example, if they claim they are police, ask for his/her police ID no.

Tips #4: Do not try to settle the problem by offering cash payment.

Just remember, the scammers are looking for victim for ONE purpose. That is to get your money. If you are trying to offer them cash payment. You are in fact, fall into their trap.

Tips #5: Use Common Sense

This is quite important as it helps you to find out whether it is a true or scam case. In the scam I got, which is a man claimed he called from Police Head Office but he sound like a Chinese and speak mandarin. Most of us knew, anyone who works in police department must be able to converse in Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) in Malaysia. Immediate I suspect him, I tested him by speak Malay language and he failed to replying me in Malay language.

Tips #6: Make a police report

If you feel there is a need to make a police report, go ahead to visit police station nearby. This is not just a to protect yourself but also inform the respective department and let them aware of the latest scam happen in town.

Share this to your friends, relatives or neighbours before they received the similar call. I told my buddy, MelvinNg on the same day I received the call. He called me back in the afternoon saying that he also received the same call. You could have save someone by sharing this.

Recent news reporting on weather changes all over the place, disasters happen badly everywhere. It is because due to global warming effect, ice berg is melting in artic sea.

Ice contributes 2% of the world’s water, but it is about 7 million trillion gallons. This is the quote from NASA feature article:

Earth scientists think ice is hot - a hot topic, that is. Two percent of the world’s water, about 7 million trillion gallons, exists as the solid, frozen form, second only to the amount in the oceans. NASA wants to know what’s happening to our planet’s ice, as even small changes in ice could mean big impacts on the water cycle and ultimately the global climate.

There are many way we can get involve to save our earth. You can do it simply reduce the contribution towards carbon. Here’s what you do:

1. Reduce what you can - meet locally and walk and carpool whenever you can

2. Offset what you can’t - support carbon reducing projects, such as wind energy, energy efficiency and reforestation to eliminate the remaining emissions from your event. It’s simple and affordable.

There are a lot more environmental tips on Earthday network such as like this:

CO2 Diet: Explains consequences of air pollution and offers ways we can reduce it.

Coffee: Growing coffee under the shade of tall trees instead of chopping down tropical forests will protect song birds. Drink only “shade grown coffee.”

Plastic Bags: Grocery stores are environmental battle grounds where check-out clerks routinely ask: Paper or plastic?? Use fewer bags.

Cell Phones: They pose their own environmental challenges. Their toxic chemical content requires us to use care in disposing of old ones.

Do something simple and small little action like this will save our Earth. Involve in Earth Day activities from today.

I wrote a blog post about going to attend the Secrets of Science of Getting Rich Seminar in town 2 weeks ago. It’s time to review what have I learn in this seminar. Overall, I am quite excited with the contents provided by Bob in this event. Being the fact, this is not like most of the seminar offer free entrance. I pay RM25 (US7) for the entrance, I expect to gain something from this seminar and I turned out to be a good one with certain level of knowledge gain and motivation I received.

In fact, this is not the first time I learn from Bob. I came across “his secrets” in 3 years ago, my friends Larry & Heidi taught me on this subject “What Will I Do If My Annual Income Suddenly Turn Into Monthly Income?” and last year, I watched the well known “Secrets” Movie.

This seminar is promoting the new secret SGR brief case which consists of all the timeless secrets of wealth creation and delivered by the master teachers – Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and Michael Beckwith.

There is too much to share in this blog post, to make you easier to understand and absorb this teaching, I have done a summary based on my observation during this seminar. It is solely on my personal opinion, and you are free to comments and give your opinion.

Have you considered this for yourself? And how much do you think your time are supposedly worth? Most of the time as small business owner, we always fall in the trap of trying to do everything our own and refuse to outsource.

After reading the timeline story from Gobala, he reminded me again about these questions - “What is my time worth”? and why should I outsource some of the works instead of doing all myself.

I knew he can write well (He wrote some of the good book – ChapterM.com & Easy Wordpress System). However, he chooses to outsource the writing job to someone else in RentACoder since we can get a very good & cheap labor for writing (Read my post on first outsourcing job). I just amazed that, after sometimes his income level is increasing instead of dropping. Bear in mind, he has to pay for writing cost before he manages to make money from the new projects.

In fact, starting this month, I begin to study some of the materials that help me to manage my time well. One of the secrets in managing your time well is outsourcing on those work that you are not good at. In my example, writing. I learnt how to outsource writing for some of the articles for article marketing, I learnt how to get someone write for my sales letter, etc….

Writing is no longer an expensive job you can hire from someone. You should focus more on your strength instead of your weaknesses. It is not worth the time for you to learn and do everything yourself.

I use a calculator created by Peter above to re-discover my worth of time and certainly I got the inspiration not to waste time to do works that I am not happy to do myself. Go and get yourself one and calculate what is your time worth. You will find that your time can worth so much more and you will never try to spend your time unproductively. Start outsourcing today!
