Been wandering around Riyadh lately

Well,

A nice weekend (Thu and Fri) and I had been wandering around Riyadh. First, went on a friend's birthday party and eat some. Stayed late (actually started early 2am) at the Internet cafe to download SP2 via DSL to install and update some clients' XP BoX.

Friday, well, I just went to the City Center and bought something for my girlfriend. Well, I am really excited coming back home. I hope sooner... Just bought her some really cool stuff. And I had finished packing up my things. Ready to send some sea cargo boxes, just waiting eagerly for the Boss to arrive from his trip.

Not much, Saturday and starting the week of work again... Just updated some BoX with SP2 that I had downloaded. So far… Quite good. Just needs to run auto update.

Well, so much for now, catch you later. Just messing around also with my own BoX before I go vacation.

Catch you later fellows!

ciao!

CREDIT CARD TIPS

TIP posted Today 04:26 PM

(post #14)

linux1880,

quote:

I dunno who got the information and how it is stolen, but I am really freaked up to know that it is stolen, Is there any possibilty to save myself from future threat and track the stealer?

-In my case, I had done only one (1) online transaction with my CC that I badly needed. Since I am here abroad, I had made an ONLINE ORDER for some stuff that had been delivered to my friend back there in the Philippines. Carefully doing it, so far, it has been a safe transaction.

Some key points that I had considered before transacting ONLINE were:

1. Transaction is not available OVER-THE-COUNTER (since I am overseas).
2. The ONLINE STORE in which I transacted is really CERTIFIED SECURED (verified by Thawte, Verisign, etc.).
3. The BoX (PC) wherein you will transact should be secured enough, I prefer my own BoX since I am sure it is secured.
4. It is always a standard procedure to me (even if I don’t make ONLINE TRANSACTION) that I randomly checked with my CC’s status through the CC Company’s phone facility. But now that I am here abroad, I checked with my CC’s SECURED ONLINE FACILITY for my CC’s balance and status.

Tracking the stealer (since it already happened) is the job of the CC Company and the Authorities. About the instruction TO DESTROY YOUR CARD, just like Black Cluster and others had mentioned, how can you be sure it is the CC Company that had called you? Have you called your CC Company and inquired about this incident? You better be.

To save yourself from future threats, you should have changed your CC by now. Avoid making ONLINE TRANSACTION (even normal transactions) with un-trusted establishments. If your CC Company has SECURED ONLINE FACILITY for checking CC’s balance and status, use it. And before doing ONLINE TRANSACTION, make sure that your BoX is secure enough. Lastly, NEVER EVER REVEAL SENSITIVE INFORMATION WHEN SOMEBODY CALL YOU CLAIMING THEY ARE FROM CC COMPANY AND ASKING TO VERIFY SUCH CARD INFORMATION (IT COULD BE SOME SOCIAL ENGINEERING AND PHISHING SCHEMES).

Weekends

Ahhhh… Weekends…

It’s been a long weekend… Not much surfing but more chatting with my girl friend yesterday (Saturday). Hmmm, Sunday is not much a busy day. Been doing the normal stuff in the office. Getting bored here in Riyadh. Ah, I’ve talk to my mother yesterday just to say Hi! And to my sister today to ask what the heck is the problem with my PC back there in RP.

Well, like I told you, not much to say within this week. I’m still waiting for my BOSS to arrive from his business trip in Amman, Jordan. I need to go to VACATION!!!

And one important thing, I’ve watched this movie Stuart Little (1 & 2), it touches my heart somewhat especially in the FAMILY thing. Wow, discussed it with my GF via Txt msg, and both of us agreed it’s an ideal family thing. Happy to say, I love her, and having common ideas about life makes us stronger each day.

On a side note: Farewell, Pope John Paul II.

Well, that’s all folks!

Catch you later.

Yo!
