My weekend?
Posted on March 16, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralI have had an extremely busy weekend. I haven’t even had time to get online. Better yet, I let someone borrow my laptop computer. How crazy was I? I was being nice and I knew that I wasn’t going have time to do anything concerning being online.
We have a couple of church friend’s members that was both moving. So, this past weekend we helped and so I am going to need a week off, SIKE. Like that’s every going to happen.
It was raining for three days straight. But that didn’t stop us from moving. It was cold and rainy so I mainly attended to the kids. I felt like my skin was hurting I was so cold.
It doesn’t take much for me to get cold though! But today we have beautiful whether once again. Last week it was 85 on Wednesday and then on Thursday a cold front came through and it drop to about 30. So, the weather was not favorable with me at all. I am looking forward to this week but I am dreading school because I am already busy as is. I have a whole-lot-of-stuff going on.
We got a busy agenda ahead of this week, extravaganza’s, conferences, speaking engagements, and the list goes on… and on… but I am certainly looking forward to a real day off!
We will see, soon and very soon!

Is that link safe?
Posted on March 13, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in Awareness, General, Identity Theft PreventionWe have all received emails with links that advise you to “click here.” Or what about when you receive an email from what you feel is a trusted source and it lead you to a phishing site that looks identical to what you are normally use to seeing.
Fraud has taken the web by storm. Identity theft can not be stopped! It is a scary thought but the criminals are truly getting away with stealing your identity with out paying a penalty. They don’t necessary have to get your credit card number or know your name, it is much simpler than that! Once your identity is stolen and your credit is ruin it can not be reversed overnight.
I was checking my email and received an email from what looks like PayPal. PayPal recently updated their logo’s to prevent fraud emails and so on and so forth but the crooks have caught up. I normally receive an abundance of fraud email from banks such as Bank of America, Franklin Bank, Wells Fargo and banks as such. Since some banks has went under, I haven’t received many bank fraud emails lately.
The email I received from PayPal today stated to “Secure Your PayPal Account” Then they placed a link that gave instructions to click: https://www.paypal.com/us/webscr.php?cmd=login-runcmd=_secureNow from the look at the above link it appears that when you click on it that it will take you to the PayPal web site. With the https, (s) meaning secure, you may really feel like this is totally legit. The truth of the matter is this is not a secure link and neither will it take you to the PayPal address by clicking on the email link. So you probably think when seeing this that it is nothing fishy about it but there is!
I received a lot of emails and since I use these services often, such a PayPal and even the bank emails that I would normally receive. So, this is how I can tell if they are truly legitimate links and if what I am looking at is the real thing.
#1. The FROM Address: The email address read: PayPal but it actually stated: PayPal@services.com. I know for myself that any email from PayPal would not end with services.com. In this case it is too obvious that this email is indeed a fraud.
#2. Never click on a link if you are unsure if it is the real thing, Instead…. Go to the link and “right click” then select “properties” from the menu options. The real link will then appear. In t his case the link revealed:
http://gk4you.ru/prog/pl_rss/id/paypal/login.php?cmd=_login-submit&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fa798f5a5f5ae42e71cf8ee1e360382336fe24cc0d575d12c
This is a far cry away from https://www.paypal.com/us/webscr.php?cmd=login-runcmd=_secure.
The truth of the matter is identity theft is EASY! Another key fact about it is IT CAN NOT BE STOP! This is the scary part! It is the fastest growing crime in the United Kingdom and America. Even if the thief is caught across country; we in America don’t have the power or authority to penalize anyone. Other countries don’t have the funds or the power to convict them, there for it is UNSTOPABLE! There is one way that you can help yourself and that is by getting a company that specialize in identity theft protection.
Make sure you take caution before you click on the next link or attachment. You could be giving away your life!

Where has the time gone?
Posted on March 11, 2009 by MANIFEST ME! in General, online college helpI just notice it has been about two weeks sinceI have last posted. But I have been crazy busy but I will tell you one thing I am re-organizing my blog because I have so many updates to post.
What I am doing instead of putting all of my updates on pages I am going to take some of the pages away and upload everything by Chapters or Units. It will make it easier for you to find and I feel like it will help you in your studies.
I have a whole season of Algebra to post and some Accounting stuff as well as the latest Business Law exam. I start my statistics class in a couple of weeks along with Human Resources so we will see how that goes.
I gain so many new friends everyday and I just want to say thank you for registering to my website. Who would have know I would be emailing thousands of people. I had over 3500 emails in my inbox and I can not keep up.
One thing I must disclose to all of my friends new and old, this is something I do in my spare time. So, I started this out of just wanted to help somebody. I don’t have to post anything but I do it because I want to. Now some of you send me the latest information from your classes to help someone else that may need it,which is great I love that! I love the fact that since this website has helped you want to help someone else by sending information that is not here.
So do me a favor and keep your comments coming. Your comments encourage me to go on! Another thing since I have a life…. if you want personal help I do ask that you please donate. My time is very valuable. So, at the least please give what you feel. Some people would not even been able to pass their course with out me taking out the time to do what I do. So with that being said, please donate. You gift is tax deductible and this is one way I can give to support not-for-profit organizations. So I don’t ask for personal gain but I do ask to help others.
THANKS!
