Car Alarm to safe you


Car keys as security alarm

For House
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighbourhood watch coordinator.

It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.

It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.

After a few seconds all the neighbours will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

For Car Park
Carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.

Internet Banking Phising Alert and Prevention Tips

What is phishing?
Phishing is a process where scamsters trick you into giving them your user IDs, passwords or credit card details, so that they can gain access to your online banking accounts.

Victims are known to receive phone calls, SMS or most frequently emails claiming to be from a bank or trading partner, asking them for personal information to re-register or update their accounts. Soon after they've provided this information, they usually find that their banking accounts have been cleared out.

How do I recognise a phishing scam / site?
1. you receive a phone call, SMS or email asking you to provide personal/ security information or TAC

2.a phishing email link, when clicked, will open into an un-secure login site, with its URL most likely to begin with http, instead of the secure https

3. The phishing site's URL may contain misspelled words, like "Mybank" instead of Maybank.

How do I prevent phishing attempts?
1. Do not trust any phone calls, SMS, e-mail, web and chat that requests for your personal details and identity.

2. Never click on a URL link in an e-mail or fill out forms in e-mail messages and un-trusted websites.

3. Go directly to your bank's web site to access Internet Banking and manually key in the company's web site address in the browser's URL bar.

4. Keep up-to-date with the latest security patches. Update your Operating System and Internet Browser with the latest patches, making sure all security and critical patches are applied. Use anti-virus software and, if possible, personal firewalls. Ensure your anti-virus software is up to date with the latest signatures.

5. Scanning your PC regularly from a popular anti-virus web site is also recommended.

6. Lastly, if an online money-making scheme seems too good to be true, it probably is. This generally holds true for off-line schemes as well!

Internet scam

KUALA LUMPUR: Accounts manager Chua Ming Choo opened a message in her e-mail informing her that there was some irregular activity occurring in her account.

The e-mail told her to click a link to her bank’s website to update her particulars for safer online banking.

Less than five minutes later, the simple mouse click cost her RM4,200.

Chua, 35, from Port Dickson, said she received the e-mail last Thursday.

Missing money: Wen Shan (left) and Chua (right) showing their police reports to MCA’s Chong (second from right) and Negri Sembilan councillor Datuk Dr King Lim yesterday.

She added that about two minutes after she clicked on the bank’s website, she received an SMS requesting a Transaction Authorisation Code (TAC) number.

Chua realised that something could have happened to her account and she called her bank to inform them about it.

“They told me they would block my account and I was told to change my e-pin number,” she told a press conference at the MCA Public Services and Comp laints Department here yesterday.

Chua said she then went to the nearest ATM to check her account and discovered the money missing even though she did not key in her TAC number on the website.

She lodged a police report on the same day.

Another victim, Chong Wen Shan, 24, from Teluk Intan, Perak, said he received an e-mail on May 1 informing him that his online services account was about to expire due to a database update on the bank’s system.

Chong said he was asked to update his particulars and being new to e-banking, he thought it was a normal procedure and clicked on the link.

He also keyed in his TAC number when asked and discovered that RM5,000 had gone missing from his account a few hours later.

Department head Datuk Michael Chong said the two cases were the first that he had received so far this year.

He asked Bank Negara and banks to be on alert for such scams.

“I do not rule out an inside job. Otherwise, how do these criminals know our personal details?” he added.

Internet financial scam

The star online 14.5.11
GEORGE TOWN: When college student Kang Ping Ping replied an email which he had been ignoring for several months, little did he know that he would end up RM10,000 poorer.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics student, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.I replied the email on May 9 without suspecting anything until I received a call from my bank the next day.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics stu- dent, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.
“The bank wanted confirmation from me about the transfer of funds totalling RM10,000 from my account on May 9 and 10.

“I was immediately taken aback by the call and told them that I never made such transactions,” he told a press conference at the Penang MCA headquarters on Jalan Pahang yesterday.

Kang said the contents of the email had looked very convincing.

He lodged a police report on May 10 and approached the state MCA for help.

Penang MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau deputy chief Lim Thoon Deong said Kang’s money was found to have been transferred to another bank account under a foreigner’s name.

“The police are acting on the report and trying to locate the account holder,” said Lim.

He added that the account with a balance of only RM500 had been frozen.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have released a photofit (pic) of the corrosive liquid splasher.

Car theft

Car Broke in - Read GPS HOME POSITION

Received this e-mail from a friend...

Last Wednesday, I approached my car from the passenger side to place my computer bag (aka my man purse) in the front passenger seat.


As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a hole right under my door handle.

My first thought was, "someone has shot my car !"

I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and the "light" slowly began to come on.

I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any vehicles with damage to the doors that looked like a bullet hole.

"Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and place it right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and unlock it, just as if they have a key. No alarms, broken glass, or anything.

I then placed a call to my insurance agent and explained it to him. I was puzzled that they left my GPS and all other belongings. Here is where it gets scary !

"Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so subtle that you don't even realize it. They look at your GPS to see where "home" is. Now, they know what you drive, go to your home, and if your vehicle isn't there they assume you aren't and break into your home."

He said they will even leave a purse or wallet and only take one or two credit cards. By the time you realize there has been a theft, they may have already had couple of days or more to use them.

(I didn't realize my situation for two full days!)

They even give you the courtesy of re-locking your doors for you.

Periodically, walk around your car, especially after you park in a in a shopping center or other large parking area.
Report thefts immediately....your bank w/missing check numbers, your credit
card agencies, police, and insurance companies, etc.

( Below is picture of what the hole looks like )
