Spam email from “bloggerz.me” & email etiquette

I really can’t stand spam, who can anyway? I’ve learnt from somewhere that we shouldn’t open any spam email as spammers would sense it and soon bombard us with more spam emails! How evil!

Lately, I keep getting weird email from someone that I know, but the email was quite suspicious as there was no subject in the subject field, however thanks to email preview as I can take a peek to its content before deciding to read and open the email.

Mostly content of the spam email looks like below; {the xxxxxx normally is the email address owner’s name}

http://”xxxxxxx.bloggerz.me/08/02/desires-come-true-turn.html

At first I didn’t know this is spam email. But after keep on getting the same pattern of email from the same person (it just that the link will be different in each of the email sent), so decided to google on it using below keywords.

bloggerz.me spam

And some of the results that is very helpful is HERE and HERE. Apparently it is a scam and spam of Canadian pharmacy virus.

Problem now, if I mark those emails as spam, I will no longer receive any email from that person, be it spam or no spam email. So, I was bit reluctant to mark as spam as am afraid that that person wasn’t able to send me any email in the future, furthermore she’s one of my Usana downline. Hence, I just deleted it without marking as spam.

Unfortunately, yesterday I got another one and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I really need to mark it as spam. To Farina Suhaila, I’m actually getting those spam emails from you. Perhaps you may want to change your password email and scan your computer too.

I got similar email from different sender today, but already deleted the email and can’t recall the sender name. I wish I haven’t deleted the email so that I could highlight this spam issue to her. She’s also one of my Usana customers. Now am starting to worry that my email might be spamming other people’s email too.

And I often received spam emails that being sent by me! haha (not funny tho) and this is call spoofing.

A spammer needs to send spam emails and they don’t want to use an address associated with them. So, they add someone else’s address to the From: field of the email. When the email bounces, it comes to the person’s address. In this case, me ~ http://www.commoncraft.com/spammer-spoofing-my-email-address

Besides spam emails, I do also hate forwarded emails, especially if the email being forwarded unethically. I don’t mind if you want to forward me emails or anything (except porn stuff and virus). But please kindly do not reveal my email address to other recipients. The best practice to forward email is to use the BCC, Blind Carbon Copy. By putting the email address in BCC field, other recipient won’t be able to see the rest of other recipient’s address.

That’s the correct way to forward email. Sbb everytime I tengok my email terpampang berserta email2 org lain, hati I panas okeh. Sbb nnt soon, I akan dpt email forward dari org lain plak, then soon another, then soon soon soon another. Arghhhh.

” nk cepat kaya? hari-hari duit masuk bank, mari sertai kami”

” MLM terkini baru dirasmikan, masih berpeluang menjadi antara yg terawal dan terkaya! Mari join sebelum MLM ini lingkup.:P “

” malas bekerja? tapi mahu wang? mari menjana 1 Juta Kepala Hotak Hang!”

Sorry kalau ada antara email-email tu mmg genuine sifatnya utk berniaga, tetapi cara spam ni dah tentunya salah and for sure tk ramai nk join biz anda kalau buat cara spamming ni. Hentikanlah yer aktiviti spam menyepam ni. Tk baik. Buat kene maki dgn org jer.

So now you know why I have so many emails. Yes, to avoid spam. My other email especially email under myblog domain [at]mrmrsimran.com is pretty clean by far. Sbb, I don’t use it for subscribing purpose. Yg nazak ni my gmail email.

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Saya memang org yang paling semangat bila nk masuk Ramadhan dan Hari Raya. Saya paling suka Ramadhan lah, Hari Raya suka juga tapi yg best cuma malam raya and first raya jer lah. Raya kedua dah tukar pakai uniform biasa kt rumah, seluar katuk dan ber-rambut simba.

Disebabkan semangat nk puasa, jadinya saya nk buat entry Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan paling cepat dari bloggers lain. Ehe. Tahun ni berpuasa agak mencabar sebab terpaksa tengok Ichiro yang tk puasa. Hehe. Macam mana lah nak berkejaran dgn dia nnt dibulan puasa. Haihhh. Tapi tkper harap makin afdal puasa and makin ramping tummy trim ku.

Persiapan puasa? Hmm ada persiapan utk berpuasa ker eh? Persiapannya adalah bersahur 5 pinggan kot? Haha merepek! Tkderlah saya nnt sahur 300ml Usana Nutrimeal + Fibergy sahaja (Ewahh..sila jangan percaya bulat-bulat ok, sebab kalau mak masak lauk daging salai campur belimbing, ada kemungkinan tk puasa terus…hahahahaha~gila makan sungguh kan? Haihh) Tapi diet tetap diet, dengan harapan marvelous la hendaknya raya nnt yer. Oh siapa yg nak tahu bagaimana nk bersahur dgn Usana shake, let me know ok. Kiter boleh bincang2 pastu habis bincang boleh order chocolate raya. Heeee (sempatttttt)

Imran dah asyik tanya saya ada baju raya ker tak? Boleh tak saya rasa pening dengar soalan tu. Rasa nak buat-buat pengsan. Sbb malas dah nk jawab. Dah byk kali tanya. Motif tanya? Entahlah saya pon tak tahu.

Errrr tau sebenarnya…tapi pura2 tak tahu. Heee. Sebenarnya Imran ada beli kain kt kilang dia hari tu. Oh dia bukan kerja kilang kain tau. Dulu dia kerja kilang semiconductor. Tapi dia suka la gi beli kain dengan kak nam-kak nam kt kilang dia tu. Dulu beli baju tidur utk saya (pengsan) pastu beli kain pasang la plak. Hahah. Adoi suami ku!

Tapi dia tu bagus lah, kak-nam-kak nam berniaga kt office or kilang tu suka jual kt dia, sbb dia suka beli. So, hari tu dia beli kain. Excited pilih kain corak2 kerawang kaler coklat. Pastu balik tak sempat bukak baju kerja dah cepat-cepat tunjuk kain pasang yg dia beli dan bangga cerita dia pilih kain utk sama kaler dgn baju melayu dia n ichiro. Heee comel. Nnt dah tua-tua bila ingat balik mesti seronok =)

Ok masalahnya sekarang, sampai sekarang baju tu tk hantar tailor lagi ok. Tu yg Imran dok asyik tanya dan kasi tekanan. Hadoiii pening kan? Saya nk buat kebaya lah, tapi tailor mana lah yg nk terima tempahan lagi disaat-saat genting ini. Saper boleh buat meh la promote diri, pastu harga kasi cincai ok. Kalau free lebih afdal sempena bulan kebaikan ni. Hahaha.

Hmmm ni entry nk sambut puasa ker nk sambut raya eh? Confuse kejap.

By the way, hmm I tk sure ni appropriate ker tidak utk announce dekat sini (takut nnt dicap amik donation tanpa lesen), tapi my family tengah mengumpul dana sebanyak RM5000 utk membina sebuah surau kecik yg boleh dijadikan bilik belajar dan pelbagai aktiviti lain utk anak-anak yatim. Proposal dan details tentang donation tu ada dgn my dad, kalau ada saper-saper berminat nk menderma mahupon sedikit mmg dialu-alukan. Kalau berminat nk buat amal jariah yg boleh dibawa mati ni boleh tinggalkan komen berserta email. Insyallah saya boleh forwardkan proposal utk surau itu nnt.

Sekarang, adalah masa utk makan durian! (Muka bersemangat jawa) Gua chow dulu ok! (heheh..amacam rempit tak?)

Hey! I got a Facebook page for my blog already =) Heeee poyo tak? I’ve been neglecting the idea of having a page for my blog because I don’t think it is necessary. Not until last night when I was chatting with Aini (my webblog developer), she brought up the topic.

She asked me whether not I have a page or group page or anything on Facebook so that she could create customize tab for my FB page. I didn’t know that we can actually create a customize tab other than the default tab such as wall, info, photos, notes, and etc. Thanks to Aini who highlighted it to me.

Mr & Mrs Imran | Promote Your Page Too

The customize tab is pretty cool as you can actually paste of put in everything you like in it. It can mirror your blog tab also. Albeit I’ve yet to decide what are the tabs that I wanna include in, but since Aini offer to do it for me for FREE as a token of appreciation since I’ve introduced her to few of my friends who were looking for web designer in the past, so I quickly create a page today. Benda free jangan dilepaskan. Hehe.

So, jadinya am proud to announce that I have a FB page for Mr & Mrs Imran blog already. However, I refuse to call it a fan page as I think that we are all equal. I prefer to have friends rather than fans. Bukan tk suka, cumanya blog I ni belum tahap nk kata femes la, just that I dh lama blogging. Kalau ada otai page I prefer create tu dari fan page kot. Hahaha.

Come join me and the others on Facebook. You can click on the badge above or click HERE to join. Baru 11 org jer member buat masa sekarang ni..ehe. Takper baby step =) Thanks for joining!

Well, am not going to comment anything about my interview as am a bit paranoid especially when knowing that employer can actually spy on the candidates through blog and social media. Yeah, it was in the newspaper last week, full spread ok. Scary. Intrusion of privacy is so inappropriate. Employer should just make use info stated on the resume to analyze any candidates or potential employee.

Nothing interesting happened neway (if u guys still wanna know) during the interview, only that my session last for an hour (yeah the longest by far) and I was also being requested to present something on the spot (Ohhh la la la) Other than that, I also met my senior back in Science Muar, she was also invited to the interview. What a small world! After 14 years, since we left our school, out of a sudden we met up in the most awkward situation! Both waiting for name to be called upon. Hahaha. Hadoi berdebar-debar but excited nk berborak juga. Kak Aini tk aci, her session was only like 10 minutes jer, mine an hour. Goshhhh pengsannnn. But of course different department lah, so different interviewer. Wish Kak Aini all the best then

Enough about the interview. Remember my entry about the Photomama Workshop? Saiful Nang has took the liberty to upload 3 photos taken by me on his Facebook! How cool is that? Being featured on SN facebook! I felt honored and perasan best already sekarang. Sila jangan muntah. Haha. You guys can take a peek to Saiful Nang Facebook and check out other photos too.

I intend to sleep early tonight as tomorrow I wanna pay a trip to “the brand” HQ to collect some orders for my customers. Based on my performance in “the brand” biz so far, I am proud to announce that my name has been included in Top 100 Distributors list who are currently in the running to be one of 2010 Malaysia’s Top 25 Growth Distributor. The competition is pretty tough I should say and considering that my method in selling the products and recruiting new member to my team is pretty conservative whereby I always encourage my customers to buy only what they need and not to put some amount of money for investment, so I am quite surprise with the current result for the competition because I didn’t expect it.

I always prefer the ol’ skool method in doing biz. It’s not that I’m against the fast forward method, it just that I have my own reason,I will blog about it some other time. Wish me luck to be among Top 25 Growth Distributor for Malaysia and Asia Pacific, so that I could go to Hawaii and take lotssssss of picturesssssss. Hehe.

And who dare say without money game one can’t succeed in MLM? I beg to differ. As long as you know your target, good nawaitu, strong determination, insyallah jalan akan terbuka utk kamu. Where there’s a will, there’s a way…

Oh I feel much better now. Every time I write or talk about “the brand”, seperti ada suatu kuasa transformers yg merasuk. I feel so energetic! Btw, I have prepared an entry about Cancer and how good supplement can actually help cancer patient, will publish it in one of these days.

On a different note, I’ve set a new goal to achieve in my life, I wanted to start photoshop self-learning course seriously. My husband out of sudden handed me a complete training book for the Photoshop CS4 Digital Classroom (he saw the book in his office, borrowed it from the owner and brought it back for me, how sweet ). I will begin to ace my skill in graphic design as well as photo editing, things that I never tried before but no doubt that I do have passion in design too. Whatever things that got to do with art, will definitely attract me.

Well, I think I can call this an entry. Wanted to update latest order for the chocolates and also photo of the mini pack which consists of various type of chocolates. Tapi gambar baru jer habis snap and need to edit and whatnot, hence later jer lah yer. Saya sudah penat.

Selamat malam semua!… (walaupon I know many of you gonna read this siang nnt =D)
