Comment on Bankers – 1, Rest of us – nil by J.Humble

There Was A Merchant Banker
by NorthernJim

I found myself recoiling at a banker’s unctuous tone
That wafted through the airwaves from my radio today,
Bemoaning the injustice of a bad press for his ilk,
Defending the enormity of city bankers’ pay.
I wondered at my feelings of revulsion for this chap;
Was this some knee-jerk class based jealousy or pers’nal quirk?
I wrestled with my conscience as I pondered deep and hard,
Concluding that in fact this banker was indeed a berk.

Comment on Government committed to small business – I think not! by Colman Carpenter

Given the government’s desire to cut spending, I think any strategy other than not putting too many obstacles in the way of SME’s was always going to struggle to be funded. Personally I’m focusing very much on raising the profile of my business (VoIP systems) in any way I can. If there is government help available to do so, then that’s a bonus

Of course, we should always fight for recognition and criticise any decisions made by the government that actually make life more difficult for us.

Comment on Why I think premiership footballers are not overpaid by Kevin

Kevin — Tue, 18 May 2010 10:44:21 +0000

Basically in my opinion footballers are seen as a marketing strategy for the younger generation to get involve in the sport. Many aspire to be like them, but the official club football merchandise. However in reality, only very few players make it to the ‘Big Bucks’ and therefore the pay has to be high. How many youngsters do you know aspire to be like footballers because they lead glamourous lives, not the fact that they actually show an interest for football. I’m not going to lie to you, I was one of those kids.

Comment on Paypal phishing scam by Mollusc

It is important to pay attention to the details, as they may give away the fact that an e-mail is not from the proposed source.
However, do NOT think that the logo, from PayPal or otherwise is the deal maker or breaker. Using someone else’s logo in an e-mails couldn’t be easier. If you received a phishing e-mail without the logo, it looks like it was just a sloppy job by the scammer. Usually the e-mails contain all sorts of logos and are designed to look exactly like the real thing.

If you have any doubt about an e-mail you’ve received, the best thing you can do, is avoid the links in the e-mail, and visit the site in question yourself directly and log in. If the e-mail is legit you’ll most likely have an identical message waiting for you within your account.

If you’re clicking on links from an e-mail to a website you have an account on, just check the address in your browser carefully. Even a small change to the usual address could signify that you are visiting an imitation website bent on stealing information from you.

Comment on Paypal phishing scam by Dave

Hi, just want to pass this on, as I don’t own a web site to do so. About two days ago, I got an email in my gmail from “PayPal” as follows:
Hello David Rxxxxx,

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the PayPal system. During a recent screening, we noticed an issue regarding your account.
We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.
Case ID Number: PP-830-528-499
For your protection, we have limited access to your account until additional security measures can be completed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause…..etc.,…..

Anyhow, after changing password and security questions…what I failed to notice was the lack of the PayPal ‘logo’ ….which is usually included in all real PayPal emails, of which you can click on to take you directly to the site. Just want others to know…look for the PayPal logo on the email. If you click it and you go to site, it’s the real thing…if there is no logo or maybe one that will not work when clicked on ….it’s a scam! Now, I’m awaiting a letter to arrive in the USPS mail to confirm my location, regarding my true identity of the PayPal account in question. I plan to send it back full of fake info!
Thanks, Dave

Amongst me and my friends we use the word ‘spam’ when anything is over used. I say anything 4 x or more is spam.
