1.Phishing
In this type of scam, the fraudsters usually lure the web surfer to a website which seems real and legitimate but in fact is set up to steal personal details, passwords etc. This is often used for identity theft as well. The common guise for phishing these days seems to be to “confirm your identity”. You might receive emails pretending to be from your bank, Paypal, eBay asking you to click on a link so you can confirm your identity. But this link does not lead to the actual website but will instead redirect you to a fake website cloned to look like the original. This information in the hands of scammers puts you at risk of potentially losing thousands of dollars.

2.Nigerian/ Ghana Emergency Scam
This is one of the most popular scams in online dating. Nigeria and Ghana are notorious for their scammers and hence most people probably wouldn’t pursue a relationship with someone from one of these countries. These scammers are well aware of this and therefore often pretend to be from the USA/ UK/ Australia/ Canada or some other Western country.
Armed with their fake identity, the scammer proceeds to forge a bond with you. They often communicate with you for weeks and months so you think you are getting to know them better while it is actually all part of their master plan. The standard scam story then starts to unfold as your online date suddenly has some sort of emergency in Nigeria or Ghana. The stories may range from a businessman having an accident while in Nigeria for work to a helpless woman being stranded in Ghana; from asking for charity donations for Africa to a family member having a brain hemorrhage while in Africa. At the end of the day they all have the same basic plot – there is an emergency and won’t you please send them some money? Rest assured, once you do send the money that is the last you will hear of them and your money

3.The Nigerian 419 Scams
This breed of scams has been around for a very long time and is known as the advance fee fraud. It has various names such as the Nigerian 419, Nigerian money offer, the Spanish prisoner etc. Similar to the Spanish prisoner scam where the scamster promises to share his fortunes with the victim in exchange for money to bribe the prison guards, the Nigerian 419 has fully come into its own thanks to the availability of email. A scam victim will usually receive an email making an offer of a large sum of money. The subject lines often read something similar to "From the desk of Mr [name]" or even "Your assistance is solicited". While the stories may vary slightly, the general plot then talks of a person (usually a corrupt government employee) who has come across a large sum of money and needs your assistance to get the funds out of the country. The money could be cash, gold bullion, blood diamonds, gold dust, checks etc. The sums usually run up to millions of dollars with the victim being promised a huge chunk of it for their "help". Like all scams, there is a last minute problem and you will be requested to send some money to ensure everything goes smoothly. Needless to say that is the last you will hear of your apparent fortune.

There are various types of scams on the internet which prey on a person's good-hearted nature or vulnerability. It is therefore important to keep your guard up and think before divulging sensitive information online or to strangers. Now that you know what sort of scams could occur, if a scammer does happen to contact you, you will be able to spot them and report them immediately rather than wasting your time forming a relationship with them.

Spending a lot of time thinking over things, especially when all you want to do is to just stop thinking about it, can be quite frustrating. The feeling of being helpless to your own thoughts is tough. JUMIA Travel, the leading online travel agency shares 7 ways to help you take control and deal with overthinking.

Be Aware You’re Overthinking

None of the ways to deal with overthinking will be useful to you, if you are not aware of when you are overthinking. You need to first be aware of it and accept that you are overthinking before you can move forward and deal with it. Don’t make excuses for it; just accept that you are overthinking and deal with it.

Pay Attention to Your Thoughts

Overthinking is usually associated with negative thoughts, so you need to actually talk to yourself and admit the obvious fact that overthinking isn’t fixing the issue. Decide instead to think of the solution rather than dwelling endlessly on the issue. You can also think of and vocalize positive affirmations and beliefs about the issue, alongside talking to someone who can listen and give useful advice.

Distract Yourself

It’s not enough to pay attention to your thoughts and try to talk yourself out of overthinking, you also need to get out and do something to get your mind off the situation. Once you have decided to think of a solution rather than dwell on the issue, so you don’t start overthinking about the solution again, you can distract yourself with something you love to do or people you love to be around. You only need to accept beforehand that overthinking will not solve the problem, so you might as well be happy anyway. You don’t have to feel guilty or bad about it.

Put Things in Perspective

Over-thinkers tend to make mountains out of mole hills. So you need to stop and ask yourself, “Is it really that deep?” “Is it really this serious?” “Am I making a mountain out of molehill?” Learn to put things in perspective.

Let Not Yourself Be Afraid

It seems biblical, doesn’t it? Nevertheless, it is important not to let fear rule you. Over-thinkers tend to over think things out of fear – fear of the future, fear of not getting it right, fear of making the same mistakes, fear of not doing what they should etc. You should calm down and stop thinking about the worst that can happen. Just focus on doing the best you can, hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. In the end, regardless of what you do, you can’t control or predict the future not matter how hard you overthink.

Limit Your Thinking

Know when you have thought long enough about the issue, and when it’s time to move on.

Avoid People and Situations That Lead to Overthinking

This can be done based on an understanding of yourself and lessons learnt from past experiences. You should be able to identify the situations and people that can potentially give you unrest and cause your mind to think endlessly.

Rihanna was spotted baring her cleavage at a poolside while holidaying in Miami, Florida. The singer looked flawless as she enjoyed a drink with a friend. She covered up slightly with a see-through robe and her slender neck was accessorized with necklaces, one of which was in the shape of a pair of lips.

Nafizzey:
I really doubt if SSS will conduct fresh recruitment again this year. They recruited last year and successful applicants are still in camp training which they are not even through..

I stand to be corrected though.

The world has changed and moving at a very fast pace to catch up with the future cars drive themselves and plane flight without human pilots.

The big question among automakers is whether they will be the ones to provide new technologies — and profit from them — or will major tech companies like Google and Apple take a slice of the industry. For now, the two sides are balancing cooperation against competition as they gauge what the future holds.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra succinctly expressed a common view, asserting that “we will see more change in the industry in the next five to 10 years than we have in the last 50.”

[/code][code]

Dieter Zetsche, the head of Daimler AG, described the car and technology companies as being “frenemies.”

If Apple or Google starts making cars — something neither has said it intends to do — “then we are competitors.” New technologies could lead to all sorts of innovations, such as real-time navigating around a slippery stretch of road and eliminating the need for a home garage by having cars drive themselves to people who summon them through a mobile app.

Another technology that is fast making the new is this transparent car of ZF company equipped with different security systems is presented on the second press day of the Frankfurt Auto Show IAA Frankfurt, Germany.

Ben 10,

OBASANJO: You know it was Wike that straightened your K-leg, even when I thought it was impossible. I am afraid of that boy Wike and his mad friend Fayose because no politician has the kind of support they have at the grassroots.

Please don't kill yourself because he disgraced you in the 2015 election and repeated the same in the last re-run, I will advise you forget about Rivers state for now, if you are ashamed to stay in Abuja because of Buhari, you can come and stay with me in Otta.

You know you are my boy, No matter the K-Leg?

A soon-to-wed man simply identified as Adakole is currently between life and death after allegedly taking insecticide following the alleged crash of Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, famously known as MMM.

The incident happened in Otukpo, Benue State, after promoters and participants were thrown into confusion on Tuesday following the news that the ponzi scheme has been frozen.

Reports had it that all confirmed accounts, as at early hours of Monday, were froakole, a native of Ai Okpe in Okpokwu LGA whose wedding is slated for December 28 had earlier invested 300 thousand into the scheme last month and was expecting to get his 30 per cent income before his wedding.

An eyewitness told our reporter that when the news broke out Tuesday morning, Adakole, who was introduced into the business literally went mad.

"Kole is my childhood friend, we all grew up in Ugbokolo but when he traveled to Abuja to meet with the pastor of his fiancée, he said someone introduced him into the MMM thing but I and his babe warned him but he told us the scheme was not a scam.

"This early morning, he called me to check the internet if the story of the alleged crashed of the scheme was true, I told him so I heard and he screamed and hung up.

"When I heard him, I knew it was no longer funny, so I had to rush to his house around Sabon Gari to discover that he had taken Raid insecticide. I had to call the fiancée to inform her.

"I had to take him to the clinic where he is currently battling for his life. The babe is already on her way from Abuja," he added.

When our reporter contacted the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, he said the incident has not been reported.

"We are yet to receive the report as we speak but I promise to get back to you as soon as I get the report," he assured.

Meanwhile, the founders have announced that the scheme has not crashed as widely being speculated, adding that it was only in pause mode.

They called on investors not to panic as the scheme would return next year.

The police in Gombe State have arrested three persons suspected to have conspired, forcefully confined, and tortured two underage girls wrongly accused of witchcraft, leading to the death of one of the girls.


This was contained in a press statement signed and made available to the Premium Times by the Public Relations Officer , Ahmed Usman. The spokesperson listed the suspects as James Awak, Adamu Zakka and Hannatu Awak.

He also mentioned the names of the underage victims, aged 9 and 13.

Mr. Usman said they were tortured for two weeks, some liquid substance was rubbed on their body after which a horse whip was used to beat them.

He said a screwdriver was also used to inflict injuries on the girls as a result of which the nine year old, Abigail Lara, died and was buried in an unmarked grave.

The deputy superintendent of police said the suspects have already been charged to court for committing an offence punishable under Nigerian laws

Led Slippers

This idea is rather ingenious and it’s incredible that this strange invention didn’t make an appearance earlier in the century. These led slippers have a led bulb at the end of each shoe. The shoes are very comfortable, and the wearer has to shuffle around the floor in order to see where they’re going. Whether you’re into illuminating footwear or not, this strange invention has probably help prevent dozens of stubbed toes.

Grass Flip Flops

Doctors, spiritualists, life coaches, and more all say that if you want to ground yourself and bring yourself back to center, you should sink your feet into the earth and let your toes feel the green grass. With no watering required, people have been inventing flip flops made with synthetic grass to give your feet the feeling of sinking into the fresh earth, even if they do look pretty strange.

Lap Pillow

On the same note of having a boyfriend pillow for women, the Hizamakura Lap Pillow mini skirt provides a welcoming lap for a lonely man to rest his head upon. The pillow looks really creepy considering that it’s not a complete body and is only the shell of a real woman. But if you’re lonely, who cares?

Edible Spray Paint

If you’re easily bored by your food and wish it came in a different color, you are in luck. There is now edible spray paint that is being used by chefs and amateur cooks on a regular basis. So if you’ve been dreaming of having a gold turkey or a blue steak, then your dreams have now become a reality. While weird and completely unnecessary, it sells well with multiple companies making their own variations.

Baby Mop

If you’re a parent or related to a little baby and you don’t like mopping your floors, consider buying the baby mop. It’s a onesie that is also. . . Well a mop. And while your tiny tyke is crawling around the floor exploring the world, you might as well take advantage of it and have your baby earn their keep by cleaning the floors. This invention is very much real, and can be bought online today.

Hug me Pillow
Also known as the boyfriend pillow, the hug me pillow is not only strange, but it’s actually pretty creepy considering it’s an arm and also a chest and a torso. But if you’re a single woman who is missing cuddle time with a man, then this pillow should definitely be on the top of your wish list.

The Fliz
Designed by German designers Tom Hambrock and Jurispetter, this bike is powered by feet. But aren’t bikes already powered by feet, you ask? Well, this bike is a bit different. There are no pedals on this bike, and the rider is suspended at the top. The rider moves their legs as fast as they can manage, and then rest their feet on the back wheels while still steering in the front.

Creating something new in this day and age is pretty impressive. But sometimes that means that innovators have to invent some pretty unique things to stand out. Here are the strangest inventions that actually exist.

Dogbrella
If you have to walk your dog in the rain, you might be thinking that it’s not fair for your dog to have to get wet. Despite having fur and being environmentally conditioned to deal with a variety of weather elements, there is a way to keep fido dry while going out for a walk. The Dogbrella covers your dog in a nice, dry little cocoon that is connected through the leash.
