Beware of Scam from Taiwan - Part 1

Today, I got a call from a guy - Michael Taylor from Taiwan. He is working in this company - Scott Fitzgerald Group Limited . I don’t know where he got my contact from, most probably from Alibaba.com because I only shown my contact there as for my brother’s business.

The objective of calling me is scam me with his share investment plan. There is a Chinese blue chip stock - DVN Energy which listed in NYSE. Recently, they just received an oil and gas production contract worth USD20 billion from China Government. The current share price is USD77.56 but the market still don’t know this insider news yet. Once it announced to public, it will shoot up to USD200++. If I invest with them, The returns will be >100%. This is attractive right? Do you believe it?

I been listening to his bullshit for 30 minutes. Yes, 30 minutes talking about stock. Since I am free and would like to hear how they scam us, then, I share their tactic with the community.

This is the funny part. After 30 minutes of stock bullshit, then he start asking on my background. Firstly, ask how old am I and my occupation? Then I answer 18yo and working as an office boy with USD200 monthly salary. Of course it is fake data. I am short of 8 years old :P. I purposely play with him and he stunned for awhile…….

Unexpected Employer in Low Yat Forum

Today, I was browsing the Low Yat forum to check out any new part time jobsimage for our community. I saw this interesting ads - Part Time Job at Jusco by AEON. I never expect Jusco will look for part timer in forum. There are one of the top retailer in Malaysia. Normally, they just post vacancy poster at their branch.

May be the offered job is about IT - Promoting Jusco Website. Perhaps, Low Yat is the best place to source for part timer for the time being. We are slowly taking over the place from Low Yat as the place to look for part time job. :)

As per normal, I invited them to share their job with us. The feedback is positive and they requested us to post the job on behalf of him. Check out the job - Part Time Promoter @ Jusco. On top of that they are looking for some promoters for their stores. Here is email from them:

A Head Hunter Week for me

I am wondering how come I am so hot in the job market. I received my 2 calls from 2 different Head Hunters within a week. Both of the offered job pay 30-50% extra from my current pay. I simply rejected their offer because I am not working for money since I setup this community website. I love finding more jobs for this community.

Anyway, one of the main concern of changing job for me is Flexibility. Initially, I tender my resignation letter this month. However, my company offered me a special Flexibility option for me. Starting from next month, I will be working 4 days a week instead of 5. But I get pay cut of 20%. Fair right? Or you think I am stupid?

With the extra 1 day off, I will contribute back to the community. Find more jobs from event companies, market research companies, and NGO. I know the more times I spend on growing this community, the faster AsiaPartTime grow to a next level. How do you think about it?

BTW, do you think I am stupid on rejecting the offered job opportunity? 30-50% extra !!! Sometime, I will think I am make the wrong move but I always believe work for passion instead of money. Let’s time to proof it. The more support from you, the more enjoyable for me.
