Scam MMS how to block

Dupey — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 11:51:32 +0800

I don't know whether this is the right place to ask.
Today I got an MMS from a mobile number. And it deducted RM3 from my balance. I then called Celcom customer service at 1111. I asked the operator to block the number. After id verification and checked my account, she replied

"We cannot block this number because it is a mobile number, not 5 digit number. And the MMS send is downloaded into your mobile phone. So it is based on pay-per-usage policy (RM0.10 for each 10kb being downloaded I guess) You can disable it at setting-> only when needed"

Checked my setting. Already set at only when needed. Calling this customer service doesn't seem helpful at all. So what other solution that need to be taken?
The mobile number that sent MMS to me: 013-6744286
Called that number but the number is not being used.

Usahawan Muslim SD

Dupey — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 12:24:40 +0800

I just heard about this group and being invited to their talk. only few things I know about this group

- I asked what the nature of their business (from one of the member). All I can get is that they are doing trading stuff. Import and export thingy. When I ask them to explain further, all of them said "Datangla seminar. Nanti tahu lah. Kalau bgtau skrg x syok". What the... Only a few info also cannot meh?

- Most of the member claimed to be a high rank one. Ex senior engineer, ex manager, ex doctor, etc. Most of them resigned after being in this group. And they all claimed to be partners. But wait. Are they trading the same things or different? How can they be partner? "I sell you A, I buy B from you" thing ka?

- Tried search this group on the internet. Found nothing. The close one is Usahawan Muslim SB (it is actually SD. their logo is like a sail boat with the words S and D. How can I get no info even from the internet?

- Even they are using "Muslim" but they claimed that their participants are actually not limited to Melayu/Muslim only. Chinese and Indian also attend their talk

- Claimed that their talk is how to prepare us to be an entrepreneur, guide us, show us the opportunity and etc. Never been to one. So I don't actually know.

Anyone ever know bout this group? Mind to share anything. Thanks.

In dilemma about working

Dupey — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:41:56 +0800

Dunno if this problem should be posted here. Its related to my job. So, what the heck.
I work on shift rotational basis. 3 men in charge for 12 hours shift. Working 4 days and off 3 days.
A month ago, my collegue left my department. So, 2 of us need to work like everyday. I dont mind this becaus its my responsibilty. As long as I can work, thats okay for me. On day, we can ask normal employee to cover our shift. But cannot selalu lar coz he got another job responsibilities.
The problem is, my collegue, like work more than 10 years than me. So, he kinda the senior one than me. But he likes to cakap belakang. No talk in front of me. For example; one of our operator (the one he dislike) wanna OT. So, I signed his OT form. And my act kinda disagree with him. He dont want this operator OT coz he dont see the operator work. But for me, that doesnt 100% true. Sometimes only. Same with other operator. But maybe he dislike this operator, so thats why he treated him like that. But he doesnt talk to me about this. Rather, he talk with our technician. Why not straight direct talk to me?
Few weeks back, my operator and technician got in a fight. The operator talk with me and I explained clearly that its not a big issue but rather keep it silent. Seriously, its not a big issue. And 2 of them has worked more than 10 years here. But the operator posted something in Facebook (this is the misuse of sosical webpage). And the damage had been done. And lastly everyone blame me coz that thing happened during my shift.
Now, no mood to work. Have been working my ass out for this 2 years. Coz kinda feel terhutang budi with my section head. He taught me many things from the first day I start working. Now thinking that I dont have the power to control/manage manpower. So, just wanna find another job and runaway from here.
Correct move? Or should I just confront with this problem? Anyway, thanks for reading this long post.

Stuck at bios screen

Dupey — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:23:35 +0800

Changed to backup mobo. But when turning ON, stuck at logo screen. Tried to press Del, F12, or any other button. No respon. After a while, the system restart back. Tried to change ram, put only one slot ram, still the same. Change keyboard, use usb keyboard, also the same. My spec:

Proc: i5 3570-k
Mobo: Gigabyte H61M-S2P-B3
PSU: Silverstone Strider 550 watt
GC: use onboard graphic
Ram: kingston ddr3 1600 (4 pieces. Tried all of them and onboard has 2 slot ram)

Is it because the mobo doesnt support the proc? Read at their website, supposedly support i5 3570-k. Or do I need to update the bios first?

I PMed him as Im interested in his item (Corsair Force Series™ 3 120GB SATA 3 6Gb/s Solid-State Hard Drive). You can refer from screenshot above. Supposedly he stated that the item price is at RM 350. But after a while, he said that Im late (got another buyer). So, I dont mind lar. Tomorrow he told me that he chatted with wrong person. The item is still available. And Im still interested (considering that I need to replace my bad HDD). He told me to bank in RM 110 as deposit and the remaining after I receive the item. I agree and then bank in the money to his account as below;

[Deleted}

Gave him my contact details. Asked him already post the item or not. Late reply from him. Told that his friend already post the item. So, I waited for the item to arrive.
In the meantime, asking for his phone no he no give. Asking for the tracking code, also no give.
Lastly I told him the item not arrive yet. And suddenly he wanna refund me. Dafuq??? Dont check the item arrive or not, straight away wanna refund me. So I told him gonna wait till the end of the day. If the item not arrive, then refund me. And now the item not arrive at all. So, asking him for refund. Give him my banking details. Now still no reply and Im still waiting.

The things that bothered me,
1) Asking for his contact no, he no give. Coz urgently need the item, I dont think twice and straight bank in money to his account. Stupid me
2) Looked at his previous post selling item. All item are sold out. Make me thinking he is a legit seller.
3) The SSD already sold. Dont know who is the taker. Supposedly sold it already before or the item is not exist
4) From the picture, the item is Corsair Force Series GT 120GB SATA 3 6Gb/s Solid-State Hard Drive, not as stated

Mobo no sound

Dupey — Thu, 31 May 2012 17:47:08 +0800

Few days back, I tried to format and tested with Creative Sound Card. After format, I didnt install mobo sound driver. Instead I installed sound card driver.
The sound card cannot work. Remove it, unistall the driver and install mobo sound driver. But no sound come from the speaker. Tested the speaker with laptop, all okay. Format back and install like usual, also the same. No sound. Check device manager, the mobo sound driver working but still there is no sound. So, what should I do afterward?
My spec:

i5 3570-K
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
8 gb ram
Western Digital 1 tera (this HDD kinda faulty. Last time check with WD tool, detected bad sector. Now wanna copy all file first and use anothe HDD as main. But thinking that its not a problem since other drivers working fine)
Sapphire HD6970
Silverstone Strider 550watt

Thanks for your opinion and solution

[WTA] Storage system upgrade

Dupey — Sat, 26 May 2012 11:17:12 +0800

My 1 T Western Digital Black sound like failing. My PC always freeze and need to force restart. The problem occur rarely but decently my PC always freeze. Before this can enter safe mode and no freeze. Recently in safe mode also freeze. Si thinking that my HDD is dying. So need a new HDD asap. Been considering these 3 choices. Owh yeah. Tight budget here (postpone my desire wanna buy water cooling kit. Dangit). Around RM 350 - RM 400.

Seagate Momentus XT Solid State Hybrid 500 Gb
WD VelociRaptor 300 Gb
OCZ Vertex Plus 120 Gb

And this storage is for my OS and gaming (coz my current HDD still can use even in dying state). But to me 120 Gb kinda not enough. So, any good recomendation, sifus?
And yeah. Got another Samsung 250 Gb for storage and 3 IDE HDD (not using coz mobo no have IDE slot. Only SATA)

Problem with sound card

Dupey — Thu, 17 May 2012 02:26:31 +0800

I ve installed a soundcard (X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series). I already update the driver to the latest one (download it from Creative website). And for this, I already disable the mobo sound from bios option. But still, the sound card is malfunction. And also if I checked the driver details, my system crashed (blue screen appear. Dumping physical memory or watsoeva warning). So, the thing is, how can I use this soundcard? And also all the Creative program to detect my soundcard kinda failure (The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit). Only one program can detect the soundcard (Creative Software AutoUpdate).
So, asking sifus what exactly can I do to solve this problem?

Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V Pro
Proc: i5 3570K
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Sound driver: SB X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro, Driver version 2.18.15

Thanks

Asus vs Asrock mobo

Dupey — Tue, 08 May 2012 04:51:10 +0800

Came across these 2 mobos to choose
Fatal1ty 990FX Professional and Asus Crosshair V Formula. Dunno which one to choose. Currently using my rig for gaming and watching videos/Youtube. My current rig:

Processor: AMD Phenom ll X 6 1075
Mobo: Biostar TA785 128m
PSU: Silverstone Strider 500/550 watt
GC: Sapphire HD 6970 2 gig

Been thinking to upgrade the mobo after I bought the GC. Coz the GC kinda big for my mobo (2 sata port kena lindung). And also my speaker is Logitech Z650 (5.1) and this mobo doesnt support it (wrongly bought a sound card after realized that there is no extea pci slot. Dumb mistake). The reason I wanna choose these mobo mainly because I wanna play around with OC (noob here) and these mobo can support 8 cores (maybe upgrade in the near future). So, wanna opinion from sifus here, which mobo is better for my need and if there is alternative mobo that suit my need (saving extra my $$$). Thanks a lot

Just a noob question from me. Just upgraded from AMD Athlon to AMD Phenom 1075T. I just install the processor. After turning ON my PC, I trying to check the computer properties

[attachmentid=2811296]

Why this thing is happening? Did I need to do something with the bios before/after installation?
BTW, my mobo is Biostar TA785GE 128M Ver. 6.1.
Thanks for your help
