Some Fake Phone Call Scams

Recently there's quite a number of fake phone call scams around to try accumulate personal particulars and build a database to sell in the market. The market here refers to those who may be in the self-employed industries or some outsource telemarketeers, needing a pool of clientèle base to promote their products and services. Or to become worse, they can use the Database to do other things online which is too wide to be thought of.

Below is a true story of my friend's wife experience. The victim is her colleague working in the same company.

My friend's wife works in the bank. Just about 2 weeks ago, her colleague received a call out of nowhere through an office phone. The caller called to inform the colleague (the victim) that

"This is calling from the subordinate court and is calling to suspect that you are involved with a serious accidental case, but to double confirm that you are the person involving the case, give me your Name and Identity Number"

The way they ask is a kind of technique they use to ask for particulars such that they dun ask, but instead they request or order to provide them with the details accordingly.

It is also psychology kind of scenario which involves you to a serious case and such that you might be afraid and try "not get involved" so they can get the particulars easily to verify the person.

Everything in the plot seems quite perfect until the caller only speaks in Chinese...

Should the caller speaks in fluent English, the plot will be quite successful and hard to differentiate if its genuine.

The victim just simply gave out the particulars to the caller without verifying and the caller just said, "Ok, we've got the wrong person" and they just hanged up.

My friend's wife overheard the conversation halfway when she noticed her colleague was giving her personal particulars and tried to stop her colleague from giving, but it was just too late. After a while of getting hold of what's going on the phone call, my friend's wife suggested to make a police report about this.

So when the victim made a police report, to her surprise, she was the 6th victim to have made the report for similar case recently.

This seems to be the latest call trap.

My friend's wife and victim then find out more details of the different persons who encounter similar scenarios. The caller uses similar technique as mentioned above to other people.

Some are smart enough to respond that she don't understand chinese and ask if they can speak English. The caller will say they can't hear you properly as an excuse for several times after which you may have repeatedly requested them to speak English, they'll hanged up the call immediately.

Some asked for the caller's supervisor name who is in charge to verify if the call is genuine, the caller will also immediately hanged up.

As for now they only ask for Name and Identity Number, and which Identity Number basically cant do much for now unless they go borrow money from Loan Shark.

But as technology advances, who knows the Identity Number may be of useful in the future to do more convenient transactions?

Personal Particulars are meant to be kept as Personal, Private and Confidential. Should anyone calls for your particulars, do verify again and again. Just be extra Careful and make an effort to verify before giving away Personal Particulars.

Time Life Line

Ever wonder why people or living things has a lifespan? And why are everyone's Lifespan varies from one another?

Meaning some will live longer than the other, but let alone those accidental tragedies and diseases.

Have you all notice, pets, animals or insects have shorter lifespan than Humans? Also some Trees have longer lifespan than Humans?

I've wondered this for a long time, but just my thoughts.

What if Life's just like a Battery? Which can come in all different types of sizes and different charging capacities. For me, I always wondered if there's a fixed amount of time for everyone to live just like batteries.

Everyday, we wake up to start doing whatever things we like and do, each tasks will use a certain amount of energy which is similar logic to batteries whereby batteries are used to do certain task and work. Once we used up our energies, we'll go recharge to gain back energies by eating and resting, which is also just like batteries that will have a recharging source to charge back energies so that they can be reused again.

If batteries have a limited number of cycle for recharging, so do Humans and living things.

But number of charging cycles and energies used depends on the sizes of living things. For examples, insects and pets are of small type of batteries where their charging capacities are small will have short lifespan as compared to humans and trees.

But of course, there are some exceptions whereby the larger size of humans do not actually means they have a big capacities of charging as their lifespan may be short due to diseases.

It'll be more complicated if the diseases are to factored into the picture, but the main point I like to think is that:

How long is humans charging capacities and is there a fixed number of hours to live for everyone, but depends on the amount of charge they rest minus the amount of work they do?

Example: if a human can live up to maximum 1,000,000 hours (which is about 114 years old), but due to this human work more than he rest, there'll be discounts on the amount of living hours. On the other hand, if this human rest more than he work, he may probably live up to the maximum!

But that does not mean an extremely lazy person live the longest! You can try buy a pair of batteries and let it do nothing for just 3 year, won't your batteries lifespan be discount too?

If you notice, Insects work and rest quickly, so their lifespan also used up very fast!

So my thoughts here is that everyone or every single living thing, may have its fixed number of living hours but depends on sizes, work loads and rest time.

So Get some life and do things great for societies around you now!

Enjoy your Life!

What everyone should know about Cancer

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL , US - PLEASE READ

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation, while destroying cancer cells, also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. See below.


CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.

By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.

A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork.
Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable
juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements, like vitamin E, are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells..

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and
plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.

The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food
is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
