Malaysia Haunted Hotels
Malaysia Haunted Hotels
Travel, business, or other reasons, I believe we will stay at the hotel. Growing up, we will hear a lot about the hotel haunted stories and legends. So whenever stay at the hotel when (especially a man), there will be more or less heart side so a little bit of anxiety, fear it!

NEW SCAM - Express Couriers
NEW SCAM
Just when you think you've heard it all. Here comes another scam. This scam is very clever. Be very careful out there! One could easily fall for this - beware of people bearing gifts!
There is a new and clever credit card scam. Please circulate this. Someone it happened to says it works like this:
Wednesday a week ago, I had a phone call from someone who said that he was from some outfit called: "Express Couriers" asking if I was going to be home because there was a package for me, and the caller said that the delivery would arrive at my home in roughly an hour. And sure enough, about an hour later, a uniformed delivery man turned up with a beautiful basket of flowers and wine. I was very surprised since it did not involve any special occasion or holiday and I certainly didn't expect anything like it. Intrigued about who would send me such a gift, I inquired as to who the sender is. The delivery man's reply was, he was only delivering the gift package but allegedly a card was being sent separately; (the card has never arrived!). There was also a consignment note with the gift.
He then went on to explain that because the gift contained alcohol, there was a $3.50 "delivery charge" as proof that he had actually delivered the package to an adult and not just left it on the doorstep where it could be stolen or taken by anyone.
This sounded logical and I offered to pay him cash. He then said that the company required the payment to be by credit or debit card only so that everything is properly accounted for.
My husband, who by this time was standing beside me, pulled his wallet out of his pocket with the credit/debit card and 'John', the "delivery man", asked my husband to swipe the card on the small mobile card machine which had a small screen and keypad where Frank was also asked to enter the card's PIN and security number. A receipt was printed out and given to us.
To our horrible surprise, between Thursday and the following Monday, $4,000 had been charged/withdrawn from our credit/debit account at various ATM machines.
It appeared that somehow the "mobile credit card machine" which the delivery man carried now had all the info necessary to create a "dummy" card with all our card details after my husband swiped our card and entered the requested PIN and security number.
Upon finding out about the illegal transactions on our card, we immediately notified the bank which issued us the card and our credit/debit account was closed.
We also personally went to the Police, where it was confirmed that it is definitely a scam because several households had been similarly hit.
WARNING: Be wary of accepting any "surprise gift or package", which you neither expected nor personally ordered, especially if it involves any kind of payment as a condition of receiving the gift or package. Also, never accept anything if you do not personally know or there is no proper identification of who the sender is.
Above all, the only time you should give out any personal credit/debit card information is when you yourself initiated the purchase or transaction!
If you pass this on, it may just prevent someone else from being swindled!

Indie runner Abu Backer quits Bukit Gelugor on eve of polls
Indie runner Abu Backer quits Bukit Gelugor on eve of polls
GEORGE TOWN, May 24 — Just hours before the campaign period for Bukit Gelugor by-election ends, Independent candidate Abu Backer Sidek Mohammad Zan announced his decision to pull out from the four-cornered fight.
The controversial lawyer, who had drawn attention after he threw himself in front of the Penang chief minister’s car on Tuesday, said he was disappointed at how his efforts at campaigning was blocked at every way.
“I’m disappointed with all this. I’m withdrawing from the contest,” he said at his very first and last ceramah at Padang Suria Kampung Melayu early this evening.
Abu Backer had earlier today claimed that his campaign was “sabotaged” at every turn, ranging from not being able to park his rented caravan in front of the hotel he is staying to being denied permits to hold ceramah in public areas.
“I have applied to hold ceramah at so many places, in Farlim, in Air Itam, in Kampung Melayu, but not one got approved,” he said at a news conference this morning.
However, one of his applications was approved today, which enabled him to hold a ceramah at about 7.30pm where he dropped the bombshell.
“I’m not feeling well, I don’t want to talk about it anymore,” he told The Malay Mail Online when contacted later.
In his brief ceramah, he had also said that he won’t be around in Penang tomorrow and that he will take his supporters to Langkawi.
Questioned about his Langkawi plan later, Abu Backer told The Malay Mail Online that he was just joking.
“It was just a joke. Maybe I will hold a press conference tomorrow to explain further on this,” he said.
According to state Election Commission deputy director Mohd Faiz Shazwan Zainal Abidin, candidates can’t withdraw after nomination day.
He added that the ballot papers have already been printed so Abu Backer’s name and horse logo will still be there.
This means the ballot papers will still have four names and logos — Parti Cinta Malaysia Huan Cheng Guan, DAP Ramkarpal Singh Deo, Abu Backer with the horse logo and Mohd Nabi Bux Mohd Sathar with the hibiscus logo.
The Bukit Gelugor parliamentary seat was vacated after the late MP Karpal Singh was killed in a car crash last month.
There are a total 82,431 registered voters in the constituency.
