I may not be one of the great netpreneur on the internet yet involved in any dropshipping businesses. I’m just telling that people who like to trade through the internet must be very…i mean very extra careful and have a critical analysis before making any buying decision on the internet.

As, i’m doing blogging thing part time….i got my day job to do. But i just want to reflect to all my Malaysian friend of one emails that i received through my office email network, its a guy from south africa asking help and advise regarding scam activities in dropshipping business. Here’s the email ;

To all my dear friends,

This early morning I received a call from Mr Seoogobind (I’m not very sure whether this is the right spelling). He was calling from Surinam, South Africa. He is having problem which need our advice and attention. I would like to share and ask my expert friends in KPDNHEP to assist me solving the problem.

He had ordered three containers of Carnation brand Evaporated Milk and Nescafe products from Malaysian based company GRACIOUS WORLD SDN.BHD. (www.graciousworld.com) and the transaction were done through internet and phone calling. He had made 3 payments and from the first payment he made (18th May 2007 untill today, the total payment is amounted up to USD27,000 but unfortunately, he still didn’t manage to get his order. The payment made through TT and he had promised to me to fax the copy of it, some related invoices and papers as soon as possible.

He tried to contact the respective officers of the company named;

1.Mr Lim Khong
Director of Supply

2. Mr. Koh Tan
Director of Sales and Export

3.Miss Shanti Maholtra
Northern Regional Manager

at 03-21165743 many times but he failed to reach anyone of them. When I browsed the company’s website, I had a bad feeling that there may be something fishy going on in the company’s activity. I’m not very sure, where should I channel this issue or whether this case is under our jurisdiction but I believe we have to do something to help this poor guy and the most important part it will reflect our Malaysia image to foreign investors.

There are few things that I would like to moot;

1) What is the best advice pertaining to this problem?
2) If there is any wrongdoing, did our friends from SSM and enforcement division can take action in any Acts that under our purview?

3) Does actually GRACIOUS WORLD (M) SDN BHD registered and exist? Probably our friends from SSM can help us verify the status.

4) If it is not under our jurisdiction where should we channel this problem?

You can browse the company’s website www.graciousworld to get the details of the company. To kindhearted officers out there, I’m very much appreciate if you can contact him personally and these following particulars may help you;

Name : Mr Seoogobind

Company’s name : SIMPEX International Sdn.Bhd.

This gentleman is expecting something bright from us..

Thank you in advance for your attention and advices.

Well, this thing is still pending and hopefully some authorities will investigate this matter.

But i would like to point out that the email is from my office’s mate and this email and have been circulated to everyone in the office.

I don’t really want to judge on this matter…but i can give some general comments on this matter. I find it hard to believe as this website by the name of www.graciousworld.com is actually registered by Malaysian company. The realities shows that Malaysians have been banned from the clickbank and not in the paypal’s list for withdrawal is a big troublesome to us Malaysians….plusss…..the high fraud credit card cases contributed by Malaysians too…andd…..the bad news is that this company of graciousworld have put it even more by tarnishing us as Malaysians or even to the business community in Malaysia especially those in the internet marketing and e-commerce businesses.

Pertaining to this matter….I urged that every Malaysians to adhere to the ethics of trading online and respect the transactions made. Otherwise this would be a burden to us Malaysians as more and more reputable merchant provider, making money programmes and the international consumer would have a very bad impressions towards us.

To be honest, I like to travel and sometimes traveling could widen up your horizon. However traveling requires planning and it sure one of the hectic planning to do. Why, because there are many travel agents around in town offering special packages by giving you way too confusing in making which packages to choose.

Its normal as contact between humans may differ on negotiations breakdowns and if you were given other alternatives such as online traveling packages, what types of offering can you find online?

As this is an order review, Check out the Hotel Reservation.com and you’ll find plenty of traveling destinations around the world. The claim that;

HotelReservations.com offers more than 70,000 properties worldwide - from hotels to B&B’s to condos to all inclusive resorts. HotelReservations.com offers the information travelers need to book the perfect trip all backed by the HotelReservations.com Price Guarantee, see details on website.

The Best Part - Giving Advice of Destinations

I don’t like salesman knocking on my door and telling me to buy thing from him. But i like the buzz from a friend who recommends a products or services such as Hotel Reservation.com do. Off course, part of it is a marketing strategy, but then make it naturally as the customer would feel being sold out if you pushed them to buy your product and services.

Now, this is what hotel reservation did, they market it naturally…why because they are giving advices on the major destination and interest to suit your traveling needs. The pages on Destinations and interest really caught my eyes….not in terms of design, but in terms of information. Which is i’m afraid very informative to look at. they’ve something like how to navigate the page, stars rating on every destination, price to choose and compare and other complement information such as credit cards support links which is crucial to travelers.

About the Tagging

Sure, price tagging, i do not want to comment on this as i myself would be a big spender if i want to travel. The main objectives of tourism activity is to spend and spend. Economic point of views…your’re giving cash flows to the locals…heck everyone knows that and I’m sure price is not a factor. Apart from having rebate if you make any check out on HotelReservation.com.

The Web in Big Picture

I might say that, as I’m used to buy tickets online when traveling domestically using my local carrier online services, i doubt that hotel travelers should at least create the level of confidence for their customer by saying that ” hey you’re a secured doing transaction with us” or putting any fancy batches that they are verified by any financial body to handle online transaction would be great.

Now the vast availability and options of cell-phones models on the market has confused the consumer in their buying decision. I myself own a Samsung D510 which i believe by the time of buying is a really cool gadget to own. Then it was only about 9 later and that it has become partly obsolete as the new models flushing in the market. Pitty me…i tried asking for trade-in of my D510 Samsung at it barely could get to on quarter less of the innitial brand new price when i first bought it .

WireFly.COM an Arbitrage ?

Now, i know i’ve jump into many cell-phones websites selling handfulls of models to choose from. But wirefly sure have lots of asisstant and facilities in helping you choose the cell-phone models and making thorough decision on buying one online.

Well…thats’ should be the business practices towards helping consumer to make the right decision on buying activities i presumed. Surely WireFly is not an absolute advisor or an arbitrage when you want to buy cell-phones online. But surey to facilitate you further, i found that wirefly would benefit you the most as they offer various selection of cell-phones models and a carrier plans to choose suitable to your needs.

Is WireFly Different ?

WireFly.com is an online retail shop for cell-phones. But they have gone further in providing cutomer experience when shopping online by having a comparisons features on choosing cell-phones models. These comparison shows you the price and the decison to be made as it reflect to most value to your purchases such as rebates given, model capabilities, features and styles.

I like to see the rebates given as it shows the best value for money cell-phones, The offset is that getting high rebates is for sure if you go for a relatively pricey cell-phones.

Carrier Plans

Carrier Plans is a service provider for the lines. I found it they go heavily on promoting the AT&T known as AT&T cell-phones as it dominates most of the models. Hey …sure you are affiliated with them though. But what ever the circumstances is i love their presentations and using the trusted carriers such as FEDEX is sure to make your buying and receiving you cell-phones is a great experience.

Usually, when i was a little boy, i remembered that my mother will snatch a photo and archive it in the photo albums. The progress of taking up pictures from my childhood until now became a tradition if not routine and i really appreciate my mother for her hardwork putting, seperating and organizing my photos as well as my family photos that comprises of my siblings from at an infant stage till now.

The traditional way of taking pictures is by virtue that when people takes pictures, they then will processed it at the photshop and kept it in their photo album that will be view again in the future. Now, for those who have a digital camera, taking up shots does not requires any processings as the memory card have installed the pictures in the files and can be transferd into PC and other storage devices, printing at photoshop is at their convenience.

However, as this is a paid reviews, this company really take a step forward by introducing a digital photo frame. This is quite an innovative product as it is hassle free and does not require any heavy operation. Those who have digital camera ( i doubt that no one does not have it) will use their memory card with saves pictures taken and just plug it through this digital photo frame….and there it goes…you’ll have all the pictures stored in the memory card to be display by this devices.

And the best part is that, it came with four sizes of 7″, 8″, 9″ and 10″ where the frame design comprises of wooden looking style and some acrylic and plastic looking style like below;

The price ranges from $99 to $199. I think shipment is included with the price and there are several thing for you to watch and understand before buying as they look very honest in telling you to get insurance for the shipment handling of the ordered goods.

Passing through the smart tunnel last week….i could not remember the date but surely it is an experience i could not forget. The pathways are made out of cements and it sures sound draggy as my tire rubber rolls on it. But sure cements nowdays are widely used for roads and highways.

And its free for one month until today that in the NST it would announced RM 2 toll for passing through that tunnel. Anybody want to use that ??? Ok..lets be realistic….in some Asia’s country, the cost of using such facilities are even higher and relatively the Smart Tunnel’s RM2 is really cheap. But then again….be realistic as my income should not favor much for me to use those facilities.

How ever the function of the Smart Tunnel is really awesome, they say that they can overcome flood when the heavy rain is due. However i see KL is much in the drain yesterday as it got the attention of the Prime Minister.

Here are some extract from the recent announcement of RM2 charge by nst ;

KUALA LUMPUR: The toll rate for the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART), now renamed Bestari Tunnel, will be RM2 one way effective midnight on Thursday, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu announced yesterday.
It was earlier reported that toll collection would start at midnight on Friday.

“Why RM2? It’s because the developer has spent RM640 million to build a four-kilometre road inside the tunnel. The surcharge imposed for similar facilities in other countries, like Hong Kong, is much higher,” he said. — Bernama

I’m fat….do you…but surely not obese yet. But i find it hard to get proper guidance on dieting and enlightenment on how to loose weight the proper way. As i found this site called “myfitnesspall” is actually a free site that shows proper guidance and would assist to loose weight the right way.

The buzz is that you don’t have to spend a cent to join this programmes as it is all free. They’ve even got a free calorie counter to foresee your activities and exercises that should be taken to reduce weight. The best part is that they will recommend the most appropriate diet for you to adhere too. Try it out as it is a free calorie counter to test what is your daily desired calories needs in a day is.

As calorie counting measurement is important to see your daily consumption to activities ratio, this would stimulate and help to calculate your metabolism rate.

Not much that i want to reviews about their weddings….but we all Malaysians pray for the happiness of the Prime Ministers and Wife.

But i like the picture shown above, the Sultan of Brunei with PM of Malaysia, great…handsome and good looking. Looks very suve in respective suite. This shows the ingenuity of a Man.

Above from that here are some extracts from thestar;

They are here to attend a banquet hosted by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei in conjunction with the wedding of the Sultan’s fourth daughter.

This is Jeanne’s first official duty and public appearance after her marriage to Pak Lah on Saturday.

The Prime Minister and wife are among a host of dignitaries who are here for the ceremony to celebrate the marriage of Princess Hajah Majeedah Nuurul Bulqiah and Pengiran Khairul Khalil Pengiran Syed Haji Jaafari.

Pak Lah was in a jovial mood as the couple alighted from their aircraft after touching down at the Brunei International Airport.

Kelvin Loh, a technical assistant from Kuala Lumpur who is working at a engineering firm here, said he would love to be able to meet and congratulate the couple if he had a chance.

“She looks very natural despite having to take on such a high-profile public role. She radiates a lot of qualities found in the late Datin Seri Endon, very friendly looking,” he said.

The couple will leave for Kuala Lumpur today.

Even the Scenery looks very lovely… May Allah blessed these people…amin…
