It is really great to announce in advance about the declining speed of Internet; it is also more great to request the customer for either retaining the slowed down speed or for upgrading it to sustain the prior good speed of the Internet! View here the announcement box of the Internet service provider, BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited)!
While I was browsing the Internet, suddenly this web page of BSNL appeared blocking my browsing! To warn or alert the customer it is being done. But I wonder how far this can help customers who doesn't read or ignore or don't know even the English language at all!
I received an email recently that lured with many benefits of the 'Signature credit card' and also declared that the credit card gets instant approval on applying online for it! I can get those benefits simply clicking on the 'Apply Online' given in that mail! Is it so simple to receive the credit card, or is it a hacking for knowing particulars through such trap, I wonder!
On browsing with the URL, (www.hoolygoolyapp.com) that the email seemed to originate, it was found leading to a website of an online fashion store only!
All other features of that email resembled to that of the credit card's bank! Moreover, I am getting yet such more emails from that same email id but with different wordings in their title, subject and contents!
I found an interesting message in the Whatsapp App of my mobile phone. It informed that one can video-call for free by tapping on a 'Whatsapp' web-link given down in the message. But that link directed to a website. I closed that website page as I had been already warned of such websites. Then in a few minutes I received a call from a friend in Dubai who by this calling checked video-calling using that web-link! But there was no video display of my friend on my phone. I warned the disgusted friend about such websites, and to desist from using them. Then I entered the URL (web address) found in that Whatsapp message in my computer browser. Only a warning was displayed as 'Reported Web Forgery!' On the computer, that fake website was blocked! Whether it is a faking or a hacking or a spying or a mocking website or not, it has some motive behind it to deceive us. So, beware of such websites and their directing web-links in the Whatsapp messages of phones. Delete the messages containing them.
