Tip untuk mengesan Cyber Scam

Terdapat banyak berita-berita dalam surat khabar tentang Cyber Scam atau Conman yang menipu orang melalui internet. Saya ingin berkongsi beberapa tips berdasarkan pengalaman untuk mengelak diri dari ditipu di internet...

1. Too good to be true - Harga barangan yang terlalu rendah

Kalau jumpa Iphone4 32GB yang harganya RM1200 atau Ipad yang harganya RM900 atau Nikon D90 berharga RM1000 atau lain lain gajet yang harga begitu rendah, kemungkinan besar ianya adalah satu scam. Penjual-penjual ini biasanya menggunakan email address dari free email service seperti live.com, gmail.com etc. Cara berurusan dengan mereka adalah melalui pos dan email sahaja. Dan bayaran melalui western union. Contoh-contoh klasik ialah seperti website ini - http://www.adpost.com/my/employment/23167/

2. Western Union

Biasanya scammers atau conman dari oversea akan hanya menggunakan perkhidmatan Western Union SAHAJA. Ini adalah salah satu tanda besar yang barangan yang dijual adalah tidak wujud. Salah satu taktik mereka ialah, mereka kata pembeli boleh meletakkan nama sesiapapun (emak, adik, saudara mara) sebagai penerima Western Union dan apabila barang sudah sampai, pembeli kemudian menukarkan nama kepada nama penjual. Masalahnya, sebaik sahaja mereka dapat number rujukan Western Union, duit pembeli akan lesap

3. Deposit duit dahulu

Scam ini banyak orang terkena jika membeli barang di mudah.my atau lain lain klassified website. Kalau barangan lebih dari RM200, lebih baik jumpa dengan penjual dan berurusan COD (Cash On Delivery)

4. Buyer dari oversea

Kalau ada mengiklankan barangan dan ada pembeli dari oversea yang nak beli barang tersebut, kemungkinan besar mereka adalah conman. Antara cara-cara mereka adalah;

a) Mereka membeli barangan untuk dihantarkan kepada saudara mereka di Afrika
b) Mereka sanggup membeli dengan harga yang amat mahal

Tips berurusan jual beli di website...
  1. Mudah.my atau lain lain Classified website - Hanya berurusan secara COD. Ianya adalah selamat dan puas hati kerana kita dapat jumpa penjual dan tengok barang sebelum membeli
  2. Lelong.my - Lihat rating penjual ataupun pembeli. Sekiranya rating mereka adalah 0 atau negative, maknanya kita kena berjaga-jaga. Ini adalah contoh rating saya di lelong.my - http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/Feedback/UserRating.asp?UserID=nazron@1
  3. Ebay.com - Lihatlah rating penjual atau pembeli. Juga, lihat tarikh mereka menjadi ahli
Jadi, berhati-hati berurusan di internet !

Battery saving tips for Android

There are a lot of programs and tips out there but here's something that I am using on my Galaxy-S droid. Now I only charge my droid once every 2 days - awesome !
  • Kill them 2G/3G mobile data - If you are like me, I don't need constant data to come to my Android. Most of my usage is on Games, Phone calls, GPS and occasional internet browsing - none of those real time weather forecast, real time Gmail or real time stock price etc. So, I turn on 2G/3G mobile data only when I need it. To quickly toggle this, I use the free apps called Quick Setting - available in Android market






  • Kill them processes when phone is locked/Standby - Android has this bad habit of starting processes at the background. I have tried a lot of apps that kill processes but here one that's very stabile and does not interfere with my activities such as making long conference calls etc - Automatic Task Killer. Select all applications to kill and leave the important ones to be run in the background. For me, I exclude Dialer, Message, Backup, Alarm & Clocks and Quick Setting


So, have fun !

Jailbreaking IOS4.1 on Iphone4/3GS and Ipad 3.2.2

A lot of people are waiting for this, especially those you upgraded their IOS to 4.1 by mistake. Now you can jailbreak your phone using these tools

Greenpoison Or Limera1n

For those with U.S.A AT&T or other oversea sets, please note that this will only add Cydia to the springboard and it has nothing to do with unlocking the phone to be used on other operators such as DIGI, Maxis or Celcom.

If you accidentally upgraded to baseband 5.14.02, then you are stuck with a glorified Ipod !

Limera1n can also be used to Jailbreak Ipad version 3.2.2

Migrating data from Win mobile (Omnia II) to Android (Galaxy S)

I used to rely on outlook to transfer my data from Symbian phone P1i to Omnia II a few years ago as both of them can sync nicely on Microsoft outlook. However, Android phone does not talk well with Outlook so I had to trial several ways to move my data to Android Galaxy S.

After scouring the internet, forums and trial and error, I found a simple way to migrate data from Win6.5 Omnia II to Android Galaxy S (this applies to all Win6.5 phone to Android as well)

a) Open an account at MIQ - http://miqlive.com/

b) During your registration, you will need to select your current smart phone, your phone number and etc

c) The next step is to connect your phone to the internet and point your browser to http://m.miqlive.com

d) You can start the Sync process - I synced Contact, SMS, Call history and Pictures

e) Once all data is synced, you turn off the existing Win6.5 phone and log off MIQ on your computer

d) Setup a Gmail account just for the purpose of transferring data. You can use you existing Gmail account but it can be messy as you will have both your phone and gmail contacts in you Android. So, the best is to open a new Gmail account

f) Log back into MIQ and select "Change Phone". Select your Android phone model

g) Follow the instructions on how to get the MIQ app for Android

h) Sync away !

MIQ will ask for your GMAIL account for it to sync your contact with your GMAIL contact. So just type in the GMAIL account you just setup (see step (d) above)

Have fun !

PAPAGO X5 for Android (Malaysia and Singapore ONLY)


Note: Please see this posting for Sygic - an alternative to Papago, especially for Galaxy Note

Note: This version of Papago is obsolete. Check out the latest Papago! M9 here


I got these tips and files after scouring the internet for a GPS software on my Galaxy S. So, here they are;

1) Download these compressed RAR files

File1
File2
File3
File4
File5

If you do not have WINRAR software to uncompress/unpack these file, you can download it here

(Note: Moved away from Rapidshare to one of my dedicated servers)
(Note 28Dec2011: Overflow of bandwidth on my dedicated server. Moving them to a new site)
(Note 17May2012: Move files to 4shared)

2) Place the files in a folder and then open File1 with WINRAR and it will take care of the rest - No need to open the rest of File2, 3, 4 and 5. You will get the following as a result;
a)NaviSEA folder
b)PAPAGO_X5SEA_0806_WWEMarket.apk - this is the Android installer file

3) Download the PAPAGO Lib

4) Uncompress libpapago and copy libpapago.so, paste it inside NaviSEA folder

6) Copy NaviSEA folder, paste it inside your storage card, root directory.

Note: If you are stuck at O_R_SIDE.gwv while installing this on Galaxy S2 or Note, please refer to this post HERE

7) Install PAPAGO_X5SEA_0806_WWEMarket.apk via computer or apk installer

Do let me know if any of the files in unusable- email me directly nazri.jamil@gmail.com
