Nigerian Scam 99

Pugsies — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:28:51 +0800

Hello fellow Low Yat forum users! Today I have something very interesting to show you.

Scams have been around for many decades or even centuries, we see the occasional Nigerian prince scam in our emails now and then but today wah this scam tactic sibeh good.

Let me give you some context. So I posted my car on Mudah.My to see if anyone was interested in buying it and one fine day, someone messaged me on whatsapp. Some guy with a nigerian number asked if the car was still available.
Of course with me having nothing else better to do i layan lo. He told me that he's in Singapore and will have an "Agent" to come pick up the car after payment. After that he asked for my email so that his "Agent" can contact me, so i gave him my email for shits and giggles la and then they send me this:

I saw this and i was amazed at the effort put into the scam. "Logistics company" and all like nice only. Anyways long story short its a scam so be careful when listing your car online for sale.

Choosing a new university

Pugsies — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 09:29:27 +0800

Okay so I'm about to finish my Diploma and im deciding on where to go next for my Degree.

I'm currently studying in Tunku Abdul Rahman UC in my last year Diploma in Mass Communications (Broadcasting) and Im really clueless about which college i should choose to continue my studies. Anything helps like your personal experiences at the college/university, environment, public transport accessible, food options, facilities and anything that you would like to point out is the strong points/weak points of the college/university.

Any and every piece of help is appreciated thanks

Pugsies — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:59:07 +0800

[B]Hey there you lovely people on the lowyat forums i have a problem choosing the best smartphone to get under RM1000.

Preferably a Sont/Samsung with HD display, Good Camera(I take a lot of pictures), Good storage(Would probably buy a SD card) and overall good performance i can raise the budget to another 200 or more if the phones really worth it

Ps: Been using SONY phones ever since i was a kid cause they're durable :3 Water resistance and dust resistance plus taking videos underwater is awesome And also thanks and have a wonderful day!

Pugsies — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 22:41:40 +0800

Hi guys im looking for a cheap replacement earphones as my old ones got stolen

Im deciding on these 2 eaphones which are:
1. Sony MH750 eaphones which come with each new sony phone nowadays.
- I like sony products and the play music/pause music/answer call button is really nice
- Fits well in my ear and i've always used Sony products
- I can get it within a day
- Alot of good reviews but again its a standard earphone for sony products

2. Audio-Technica ATH-CLR100 earphones which cost a little less.
- Theres no play play music/pause music/answer call button which i actually really like in earphones
- Idk if it fits well i've not tried it on
- I'll have to wait 3-4 days for it to ship over to my place or go lowyat and buy it
- Alot of good reviews

My question is which is has better quality and is there a huge difference? thanks in advance guys

Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart

Pugsies — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 17:11:04 +0800

Hey all you lovely people on the Low Yat Forums i have a few issues that i've not found the solution to.

So i recently installed windows 8.1 pro and i ran into a few problems.

1. Each time i start my pc up theres a blue rectangle bar stretching from the left of my screen to the right saying: "Your Pc ran into a problem. This problem caused your pc to restart. You can send info to Microsoft about what went wrong to help us improve Windows."

2. When i shut down theres always this program thats preventing windows from shutting down and theres no name just the standard program icon.

3. Skype crashes my Display Driver (AMD Radeon R7 200 series Sapphire) everytime skype starts it says "display driver has stopped responding and has fully recovered". It happens when the app starts and when i get a call from someone. And everytime i restart skype my pc crashes and it has the error message "Your Pc ran into a problem. This problem caused your pc to restart. You can send info to Microsoft about what went wrong to help us improve Windows."

My PC specs:
Intel® Core™ 15-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
8.00 GB ram (7.89 GB usable)
64-bit operating System, x64-Based processor
SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon R7 260X Graphics card.

I hope someone out there can help me with these problems

Also i prefer not to reformat my pc cause this is a new hard disk and i've installed alot of things already :/
And I've tried sfc / scannow on CMD but it didnt detect anything...
