Foot and Fire

Last time, I have been receiving supposed emails from Metrobank threatening me to close my account if I don't update. Toink!!! I have no metrobank account. But this Unionbank emails are flooding my mails lately that I thought of sharing them to you my readers. I have been meaning to blog about these attempts to hack bank accounts because the hackers are getting sophisticated too in how they deliver the emails. The logo and the link seems to look legit. But think twice before following the instruction in the email. Here are the things I keep in mind to avoid being a hacking victim: 1. Dont hit the update button in the email. This will divert you to another link address and the hacker can change your cellphone # where your OTP is sent. This happened to a friend and she was not refunded by the bank when her debit account was withdrawn. 2. Go to the https address of your bank or the bank's app if you want to change something. 3.

When texts and emails were not yet here and there, I was, and have known some, hooked with stationeries, scented and unscented, pink, purple or light green, with complimentary stickers or bookmarks... Oh gone were the days. Or so i thought. Recently, i got some personalized pretty cards from my old roommate Omela. It sure brought joy to me. Aptly, Cicero is quoted in the card addresed to me saying, "Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things." This friend has not gotten over her flair for the pretty papers. It is great to travel, once in a while, in the memory lane.
