Help the prince

Help the prince published on 6 Comments on Help the prince

The Nigerian Prince only wants to reward you for helping him out.

Seriously, if there actually is (now or in the future) a Nigerian Prince, who finds themselves unable to move money from their bank accounts, they will be so totally stuck.
It will be like the boy who cried wolf. No-one would believe that the request for help is true, since pretty much everyone in the world knows about the infamous “Nigerian Prince Money” email scam.

Yet, even though everybody seemingly knows of this scam, it still goes on.
Why?
Simple. PEOPLE STILL FALL FOR IT.

Scam Detectives recently posted a very rare interview with a “Nigerian scammer” which is an interesting read.
The part I found so amazing, and at the same time, so appalling, is that he claimed these scammers still make “on average, about $7,500 (£4,600)” per victim.
Seriously? That is a ridiculous amount of money to be getting from people in this day and age, via a scam that I had believed a majority of people were aware of. But, obviously, many people are still in the dark about the scam.

To be fair, the swindle (officially known as a 419 scam in USA) has many variations on it’s core theme, which may confuse people.
We do hear reports of some people who are caught by these scams, such as here, but I am sure there are many others that work hard to keep it very quiet.

So, I would encourage you all to read about the most common scams of the past decade and then remember :  “Always think before you reply”

Hot Handset

Ghost Rider.
Sure, he may be a superhero, but he suffers the same technology issues as normal people.

Overheating handsets is nothing new. Older mobiles used to do it a lot. And the new smartphones of today have their own overheating problems too.
And there are many possible reasons why mobile phones / smartphones will overheat.
With all of the technology and components packed into these modern marvels, you have to expect some output to be undesirable.

So what are the reasons they overheat? They are many and varied. Experts & technicians will have a plethora of reason on why these devices may have temperature spikes at times. But I think that this response I found online is the best one ever, when addressing this issue:

Q: Why do cell phones overheat?
A: Because you use them to much.

Simple. ’nuff said.
If you have read this far, then you obviously have nothing better to do.
So, in that case, I will share something with you that I have just come to realise :
I have a sub-theme of comics developing, which depict Superheroes having issues with modern techology and adjusting to an online life.
Ok, so there are only six of them so far but I am sure there will be more to follow.
>>If you want to check them all out, you can see them all here.

Wakka Leaks

Wakka Leaks published on 1 Comment on Wakka Leaks

Don’t listen to this guy.  He is such a muppet.

A lot of people have jumped onto the WikiLeaks bandwagon recently which inspired me to create and share this comic.
There is a lot of differing opinion on WikiLeaks,  both positive and negative. It is such a polarising media event, that the word”WikiLeaks” hasnow entered into the common  usage in everyday language.
That is pretty hard to do.

Personally, I support WikiLeaks. The site and what it stands for.
Not Julian Assange.
I can make a very clear distinction between the two, which (unfortunately) many others cannot do.
Julian has become part of the equation,which I feel gives the non-supporters more ammunition to work with, in order to bring down WikiLeaks.
This is not right, in my opinion,  as I feel that the information released through the site is vital in this day and age.
The public should be kept informed about the decisions and deals that our government,or the military, make on our behalf.

If WikiLeaks is ever shutdown or banned, it will be a great shame.
But I take comfort in knowing that if the death of WikiLeaks occurred, numerous smaller sites would pop-up right away, to fill the void.

After all, the internet is the “information superhighway” and the Truth should always be out there.
