Free Internet training by Russell Brunson

Russell Brunson is giving free video training on making money online. You'll get plenty of wealth-building information which you can use to pay off credit card bills, pay off your car, or even quit your job!

Interactive training, with quiz and assignments. After you complete the assignments, you can participate in a contest using the information you've learnt in the training videos. The prize - a New Corvette !

Think of it, even if you don't win the car, you've already won : you get the training at zero-cost, and that to me is more valuable than the car.

Note : there is a request for a small donation which will go towards a charity 'World Teacher Aid' --which helps to bring education to children in third-world countries. However, if you don't feel charitable, you can still sign up for the contest (and the free training)

To sign up for the contest and get the free training click Zero to $100 million Challenge

Great for newbies!

PayPal & Phishing Email

Recently, I received 2 emails, titled "Security issues - You are required to upgrade Your PayPal Account". I forwarded a copy of the email to PayPay and they just wrote back to inform me that such emails are "phishing emails" and the security team is working to disable it. Wonder how my email address got hacked in the first place?

What is a phishing email?Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you to reveal your password or other personal or financial information.

What made me suspicious of the email:
1. First of all, thanks to Google's efficiency to detect such fraud. Once Gmail system detects such fraudulent mails, it will display a warning message in red at the top of the mail which reads "Warning : This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information"

2. Secondly, Gmail dumped this email in my spam folder, Although it's in my spam folder, I do peruse it quickly before deleting, hence I came across the phishing email.

3. Thirdly, the email did not address me by name (read from PayPal's website).

If you have PayPal account, do read the FAQ about Spam, and be on the alert for phishing emails.
