Good morning!

New Job Scams, Car Theft and Facebook Tricks

Despite repeated warnings and work offers that are just too good to be true, hundreds, maybe thousands, of people still fall victim to job scams every week.

And sometimes it’s the simplest of scams that pull in the most money and victims.

Pyramid schemes are perhaps the best known. They work on the premise that each person has to bring in at least two more paying participants, who in turn must bring in two more — and so on until the whole thing collapses.

The lure is always that you can make a lot of money, fast — but that’s usually only true for the perpetrator of the scheme.

In one recent case, at least 65,000 people, mainly stay-at-home moms, were lured into a scam promoted in parenting magazine ads.

It was as simple as having to pay an upfront fee of $30 to $50 for a stack of postcards that victims had to mail out to people they knew, inviting them in, in turn, to sign up (and pay $50) to join the scheme.

If they signed up, the sender earned a payment of just $2, though fake testimonials claimed they could earn thousands.

Happily, this scam has been shut down by postal inspectors, but not before it pulled in an estimated $1 million for the alleged perpetrators.

Action: The message is clear — don’t pay to get a job, especially a work from home job, or one that promises easy big money.

Is It Locked?

Staying with rest stops, or at least parking lots in general, police are expressing concern about two new car theft techniques in which crooks intercept signals from remote locking devices.

In the first instance, seen mainly in Canada and the UK so far, thieves use a cheap device, bought on the Internet, to block the signal from a remote.

So, when the remote locking device is clicked, the lock doesn’t engage and the alarm is not armed. Once the driver is out of sight, the thief can simply then open the door and either steal the vehicle or its contents.

Action: After using your remote, check the vehicle is actually locked — or lock it with your key.

More worrying, in the US, is the growing use of devices which actually intercept and record the remote signal to keyless locks, which can then be duplicated.

So the car may be locked at first but the crook is subsequently able to unlock it by replicating the signal.

Action: Keyless-lock cars have a button inside the vehicle, which ensures it locks when you get out. Use that, rather than the remote.

Beware of Duplicate Facebook Friends

Now, a new Facebook scam to be on the lookout for.

In this trick, you get a “friend” request from someone who’s already a friend.

Their page looks like the real thing, with a genuine photo and often a list of other friends you already know — others who have been fooled into following the same imposter.

It’s not clear what the motives are for this trick but it could be an attempt to find out more about you or your friends, for the purposes of ID theft, or to set you up for an emergency or distress scam — you know, the phone call or message from a supposed friend or relative in urgent need of money.

Or the imposter may just want to spam them.

Action: Don’t accept a duplicate friend request. Message your friend using their original listing to check if it’s them.

And once you’ve confirmed it’s a fake, tell Facebook about it and let your other online friends know.

Good morning!

Well…did you enjoy yourself at the game? As I mentioned, I wasn’t planning to watch it, and I didn’t, but I did see Bruno Mars perform during halftime and I absolutely loved it! What a fun and inspiring entertainer. Although I could have done without the Red Hot Chilli’s.

So…wha’at’s up?

I’ll tell you what’s up with me. This was sent to me, and I could not resist sharing it with you. It is a video showing the amazing and beautiful relationship between a man and his wild African animal friends. I can’t imagine Africa without Lions. I HOPE there’s enough people who feel the same way.

Good morning!

No, I won’t be watching the Super Bowl today, but yes I did take a sneak peak at a few of the commercials that will be aired.

Super Bowl commercials 2014: Watch, and vote in our poll!

Yes, it’s time for some Monday morning quarterbacking … about which high-priced commercials produced for Super Bowl XLVIII worked, and which didn’t. Such is the anticipation among what is one of the largest TV audiences of the year, that many advertisers posted their ads online in advance, or even teaser ads for the ads, to build buzz before Sunday’s broadcast.

Click through our gallery of commercials to re-view your favorites or to catch the ones you missed; at this end of this gallery, take our poll and tell us which you think wins as this year’s most memorable Super Bowl commercial.

*****

Readers: Click on the title to watch. Which one is your fave? I’m not a Doritos chips fan, but the commercials brought back memories of when I used to eat them and let me tell you after watching a few of these, the cravings began.

Then I scrolled back to watch the Jaguar “Rendezvous,” only because I’ve always had a liking for the car. The commercial wasn’t bad either. :)

However, being the dog lover that I am, I thought Audi’s Doberhuahua was pretty funny…but the Budweiser “Puppy Love” pulled at my heart, and won me over. Apparently, I was not the only one who faved this. Within 2 days there were over 25 million views on Youtube.

Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy the big game!

Peace out.

4 Ways Tunisia Is Now More Progressive Than The United States

After what had at times been a slow and frustrating process, the Tunisian National Assembly on Sunday evening voted to approve what is one of the most progressive constitutions in the region, with only 12 members of the 216-member legislative body voting against. Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki and outgoing Assembly chief Mustapha Ben Jaafar signed the document on Monday morning, bringing it into effect.

With its new constitution, Tunisia, the starting place of the massive protests that swept Western Asia and North Africa in 2011, manages in some ways to surpass even the United States in terms of enshrining progressive ideals. According to the most recent unofficial draft available in English, the government takes on responsibilities that the U.S. government has had to struggle to provide. Most of these principles are laid out in a Chapter 2 of the constitution, a section titled “Rights and Liberties” in the translation, which lays out 29 areas that the Tunisian state must provide for the betterment of the people — both now and in the future. Here are three highlights that showcase some of the most progressive of these guarantees:

1. Climate change Given the conservative attempts to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency and deny the very existence of climate change, it would seem improbable at best that the U.S. will mention conservation efforts in the Constitution anytime soon. But Tunisia has done just that. “Contribution to a sound climate and the right to a sound and balanced environment shall be guaranteed,” the constitution promises. “The state shall provide the necessary means to eliminate environmental pollution.” Given Tunisia’s location in the Maghreb, with portions of the country within the Sahara Desert, the state also is given custody over ensuring the “conservation and rational use of water” as one of its duties.

2. Health care Health care policy-making in Tunisia’s capital of Tunis has also managed to leapfrog that in Washington as of Monday. “Health is a right for every person,” the document announces, declaring that Tunisia shall “guarantee preventative health care and treatment for every citizen and provide the means necessary to ensure the safety and good quality of health services.” Even as the U.S. begins to implement the Affordable Care Act, and Republican governors block the implementation of the portions that expand Medicaid, the new Tunisian constitution promises “free health care for those without support and those with limited income.”

3. Women’s rights The new constitution also goes further than the American version in explicitly promoting women’s rights, a goal of the now-dormant push to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. “The State shall commit to protecting women’s achieved rights and seek to support and develop them,” the constitution reads. “The State shall guarantee equal opportunities between men and women in the bearing of all the various responsibilities in all fields.”

The draft version also committed the government to try to balance the number of men and women serving in elected councils, which would far outstrip the current 82-17 split between the two in the U.S. Congress last year. Given the struggle to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act in the United States last year, it would seem that Tunisia has American beat there as well. “The state shall the necessary measures to eliminate violence against women,” the constitution guarantees.

4. Workers’ rights Tunisia’s laborers get a huge boost under the new constitution, particularly in comparison to their American counterparts. Under the terms of the document, the right to form trade unions in guaranteed along with all of the powers that grants laborers — including the ability to strike. Members of the army and security services are the one exception to this rule, while unions and all other political parties and associations are required to reject violence and abide by all areas of the law.

The constitution also promises that all citizens, male and female alike, shall “have the right to adequate working conditions and to a fair wage.” As the debate over raising the minimum wage kicks off anew in the U.S. — and women are still paid far less than their male counterparts for similar jobs — the Tunisian guarantees look almost idyllic.

Monday’s approval came after a final reading of the draft, with all of the articles having been separately approved over recent weeks in a slew of compromise between the ruling Enhadda party and the opposition within the Assembly. As part of the deals made, the Government will step down in favor of a technocraticcaretaker government which will be in place until elections can be held later this year. Islamist parties were also forced to agree to have Islam be the listed religion of the country, but to not promote sharia as the basis for future laws.

“This constitution was the dream of Tunisians, this constitution is proof of the revival of the revolution, this constitution creates a democratic civil nation,” Assembly chief Mustapha Ben Jaafar said after the votes were tallied.

The approval of the constitution marks the latest step towards the vision that revolutionaries set out following the toppling of longtime rule Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali three years ago. Since then, other countries have followed Tunisia’s lead with less success to date. While Tunisia was celebrating its new legal framework, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces in Egypt endorsed the recently promoted military leader Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah El-Sissi as a candidate to run for president, after the army removed Muslim Brotherhood-backed president Mohammed Morsi last yer. Libya and Yemen are still struggling to provide security after the ouster of their long-time leaders, while Syria’s opposition and government are still in open armed conflict with each other even as peace talks take place in Geneva.

Good morning!

Happy Chinese New year!

I realize this write was published before Obama gave the SOTU speech the other night, but do you think that will change anything? This is the repubs latest to repeal Obamacare. Don’t let the word “replace” in the title fool you. The repubs Patient CARE Act would repeal Obamacare in its entirety.

Again, from Think Progress:

The Five Worst Things About The New Republican Proposal To Replace Obamacare

On Monday, a trio Republican senators unveiled an alternative to Obamacare eerily similar to the one that former presidential candidate Mitt Romney proposed in 2012. The plan boils down to a rehash of boilerplate conservative ideas for “market-oriented” and “consumer-driven” health care reform — code words that really mean deregulating the insurance industry and forcing consumers to shoulder a larger burden of their health care costs.

Here are the five most troubling aspects about the new proposal from Sens. Tom Coburn (OK), Orrin Hatch (UT), and Richard Burr (NC), dubbed the Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment (CARE) Act:

1. It would kick millions of Americans off of their health plans.

Right off the bat, the Patient CARE Act would repeal Obamacare in its entirety, meaning that the three million Americans who have already enrolled in new plans through the law’s state and federal marketplaces and the millions more deemed newly eligible for Medicaid coverage in states that expanded the program would lose their health coverage.

But that’s not the only part of the bill that would take away Americans’ health plans. The CARE Act would also make big changes to the way that Medicaid is funded by imposing a so-called “per capita cap” on it. This cap resembles a block grant and it would push states to cover a highly selective group of people through Medicaid, namely pregnant women, women with children, and the disabled, forcing most of the working poor to pursue more expensive private insurance plans.

2. It dismantles many of Obamacare’s core consumer protections.

Chances are, you’ve benefited from at least one of Obamacare’s consumer protections, like a free checkup, preventive screening for HIV, a mammogram, or no-cost birth control. Millions more will benefit in the coming years, thanks to the law’s requirement that individual policies sold through the marketplaces cover a broad range of “essential health benefits” like maternity care, mental health care, and prescription drug coverage.

Say goodbye to all that under the Patient CARE Act. The bill places no such requirements on insurance companies; in fact, it dismantles Obamacare’s prohibition on gender rating, meaning that women will go back to an era where they are charged $1 billion more for their health care on a national level than men.

3. It does almost nothing for Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Some estimates have shown that as many as half of all Americans have some sort of pre-existing condition. If you’re one of them, good luck getting insurance under the Patient CARE Act.

Under the bill, insurers can still turn away people with pre-existing conditions. The only exception is if you have “continuous coverage,” meaning you’re either already insured or have been able to maintain some form of insurance despite losing the coverage you had through your employer. The thinking behind this idea — which was also proposed by Romney in 2012 — is that insurers will be able to offer cheaper policies at the expense of denying health care to sick people. And while the plan does preserve Obamacare’s ban on lifetime limits on medical benefits, it allows insurers to set annual caps on care.

Coburn et. al. also allude to federal funding for so-called “high-risk pools” for the sickest consumers. But these are plagued with inefficiencies, long waiting periods, and are often prohibitively expensive for both consumers and the government. There’s recent real-world evidence to support those notions — Obamacare’s own temporary high-risk pool program ran out of money despite enrolling far fewer people than originally expected, forcing the government to stop accepting new enrollees.

4. It would make millions pay more for their employer coverage.

The Patient CARE Act would also amount to a tax hike for the more than 150 million Americans who get coverage through their employer. In an effort to encourage Americans to choose skimpier health plans, the bill sets a cap on the federal tax exclusion for employees’ health care.

Currently, workers’ insurance premiums are paid for with pre-tax dollars; under the Coburn-Hatch-Burr proposal, the exclusion would be capped at 65 percent, meaning everyone with an employer plan would have to pay taxes on 35 percent of their premium. If you have a more expensive health plan, your taxes would go up correspondingly. By contrast, Obamacare only imposes a tax on the priciest of health policies — so-called “Cadillac” plans.

5. It provides fewer subsidies to help Americans buy health care.

Coburn-Hatch-Burr does preserve Obamacare’s insurance subsidies in theory. But in practice, the bill pushes more costs onto consumers.

In lieu of Obamacare’s sliding scale insurance subsidies for people between the poverty level and four times the poverty level, the Patient CARE Act provides a flat subsidy that increases with age and is only available to people making up to three times the poverty level. That might work out for someone who is relatively healthy; but if you’re sick and poor, the type of coverage you need could easily be out of reach — particularly since insurers aren’t subject to the benchmark benefits standards of Obamacare.

*****

Readers: Patient CARE Act – the name in itself is a lie. Many won’t get care if this dismantles Obamacare. Let’s vote those guys out. Blog me.
