False Advertising Website

Recently, a friend of mine sent me a seemingly real consumer warning site that showcase a get rich quick scheme in SINGAPORE that WORK?

The link is here http://www.consumerwarningsreport.com/2011fallreport.php

But it’s FALSE, everything in that page is not about warning the people about scams but to advertise for that “work from home” and get rich quick scheme.

Warning Signs

  1. instead of warning it’s overly positive report is my first indication that it is not a real consumer report
  2. I check the home page, there are NO OTHER posts…this is the ONLY post making this “consumer report” fake
  3. Last I checked, there are no way to embed photograph on the comment section unless it’d placed there by web owner
  4. At the very bottom, the disclosure mentioned “This is an advertisement for Online Trade Training
  5. Click on the header, you will not be directed to the main page of consumer report

There are so much false advertising in the text descriptions & fake photograph of women holding a cheque (of some sort) which obviously from google adsense payment and not from the “Online Trade Training”.

DO NOT FALL FOR THESE FALSE NEWS ADVERTISEMENT!

The big clue to me that it was fake was when they asked for money. A legitimate job will not ask for money but will direct you in how to get quality assignments.

Ideas to solve floods in Singapore!

After reading the Today’s article about “Long term plan for flood control needed”

I feel motivated to think out of the box to help the local policy makers to solve the problem.

  1. Public to post flash flood photos is good on an app but why not go to social network like twitter & facebook to search #sgflood to identify locations of flood too?
  2. Flash flood sometimes can be inevitable but to limit the property damage maybe a high wall surrounding entrances can be constructed with steps to walk up & down into the entrance.
  3. Safety also must be considered for flooded drains, put railings beside drains that’s more than half a meter deep
  4. Long term flooding also must be considered a possibility, how to manage public transportation for evacuation or normal commute including safety of underground MRT tunnels.
  5. Identify possible locations of frequent flash flood prone region & build better drainage or higher elevated road & pedestrian pavements
  6. We have to think in advance in case there’s a Thailand style of flooding that won’t recede for a long period of time like how to replace public transport with Amphibious vehicles or allow cars to modify into amphibious vehicles to avoid serious flood damage.
  7. Civil defense solutions on rescue during floods

I like to hear more ideas from readers too!

What do you think Singapore should do to either prevent floods or anticipate floods & live around it.
