Memberthe fact that this person didnt wana give me time to think over the offer makes me wonder “why?”.why was she in a rush to get my details when i said i would mail it to her?any guesses???
stigmata,if u can…y dnt u try n call up the number n talk to this “Williams”.maybe u can pretend to be working for her n find out for real wat this is all about.but then again,”williams” might call ur bluff if he realises ur calling from UK.anyways,u can give it a try n have some fun!! :b

heart_of_a_man011: It would not cost you any amount nor too much stress,you are just to receive our payments which will be sent to u by post or mostly mail from our customers,or those mailed to us in our Location will be sent out to you.Soall you’re expected to do is when you receive the check,just take it to your Bank,get it cashed,take your ($300) cut and wire the rest to my company or other outlets either by Money Gram Money Transfer or Western Union Money Transfer,and all the fee been charge on it would be from the company side.

heart_of_a_man011: yeah
**XYZ**: there must b a catch somewhere
heart_of_a_man011: All you have to do is help us recieve payments from our customers and clients in the states.These payments are in cashiers cheque or moneyorders and they would come to you in your name, so all you need do is to cash the cheque take out your % which is $300 USD and wire the of the money to the company manager via western union As soon as you get the payment all what you have to do is to take it to your bank and have it cashed out instantlly after that take out ur % and send the rest money to the information given you Via Western union outlet arround you there.Are you intrested in the job offer?

heart_of_a_man011: i do trust you
**XYZ**: hmm…
**XYZ**:
heart_of_a_man011: yah
heart_of_a_man011: Our customers will issue payments out in your name and you get them cashed or deposited in your bank when funds have cleared, deduct your 10% and forward the balance to the company. We understand it is an unusual and incredible job position, You’ll have a lot of free time doing your regular job as this will not take any of your time. But this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are looking only for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be an earnest assistant.
**XYZ**: ok…can u tell me more abt the job profile?
heart_of_a_man011: The reason they can’t send the check direct to me are ; (1),The cost of coming down to the state ,and to receive the payment and get it cashed is too cos,(2)If the payment are sent here down to me in UK,it take a very long time to clear and it in one way or the other delay me,(3) if I cash check that are out of UK the Govt would charge 25% of it as tax,but with you been our middle person,it is a tax free,all we realise is just the ($300) I pay you and all the rest of the fee.And I’ll arrange a personal check for you to clear up taxes at the end of the year after each tax estimation.
**XYZ**: ok
**XYZ**: wat company m i representing and wat r we dealing in?
heart_of_a_man011: the company produces different kinds of textiles and fabrics

Sounds like you got yourself some spyware to me. Have you ran a scan recently? If you don’t already have a program, I would recommend spybot or adaware.
i’m using the AVG 7.5 anti virus program which detects spywares too.n i run a scan everyday.do i still need a Spyware Detection Software?

Memberi’m using a Lavasoft Personal Firewall and i don’t know how effective the software is.can any1 recommend a better firewall software?Or is it good enough.By the way i use DC++ to download stuff from other users.Does that pose any risk?
i have another query.
i’m using a very slow DSL connection which give me a download speed of max 7 to 10kbps.and i’m using a software called Netlimiter to monitor the Download and Upload Speeds.It also tells me the amount of data recieved and transferred and which program is downloading/uploading.My problem is,even when i’m not downloading anything or viewing any site,when i open the Local Area Connection Status window,i can see that packets of data are being recieved on & transfrerred from my computer.But when i open the Netlimiter to check if some program is downloading/uploading anything,it doesnt show anything.In fact,it shows that no packets of data are being recieved/transferred.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?Of course, i don’t know much about computers(or the internet or LAN,for that matter).So maybe somebody can tell me what is being recieved and transfrerred from my PC?Do i have Trojan on my PC?
Would appreciate if someone could throw some light on my problem.linkinboi
Memberi’m new here.n i dont know much about the stuff u guys r talking about.but i have a query.
recently i noticed that, to go into a yahoo chatroom you need to give an identification code(or whatever that is called!).probably to differentiate bots from real users.but i noticed that after logging into a room there aren’t as many users as room list showed.For instance if the list shows Karoake Room 1:(35),once i log in,i see just 3 or 4 users.I tried logging into several rooms n the same thing happens.and everytime i change a room i need to give the identification.can someone tell me why i can’t see all the users as listed in the Room lists?n why do i have to enter the code everytime i have to change a room?
i will appreciate a feedback! -
