Lots of good things are happening down at BlueFur. This recently added feature – Customer of the Week – is just one of many to come.

I’ve always had great response with the customer service – so to read how they are going to turn it up another notch is simply fantastic. Keep it coming!

Cafe Yogi – officially retired!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

It is with mixed emotions that JenTekk announces the retiring of pet project Cafe Yogi.

Cafe Yogi

This time last year I was in the throws of creating Cafe Yogi – a Community for Bikram Hot Yoga Enthusiasts, which included a blog and message board.

I admit, I bit off more than I could chew by trying to tackle a second community – while also nurturing Tazzu – an IT/Business Community that I co-founded several years ago with my business partner Rastin Mehr of rmdStudio.

Long story short, I did not have the time to nurture the yoga community as it needed, and was only able to commit to sporadic blog posts & forum posts, which is unfair to the members.

So, rather than let it die a slow and painful death, I’ve packed it up.

Before letting it go, I did however back up the site (Joomla, phpBB3, and WordPress) and databases. With some interest shown in purchasing it, someone might yet pick it up and revive it.

It’s been wonderful getting to know the very enthusiastic, caring and supportive Bikram Hot Yoga Community. You will still be able to read posts about my Bikram Hot Yoga journey on my Facebook page!

See you there, I wish you all well.

Namaste! :)

Smith Parker – Job Offer Scam!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Smith Parker Job Offer Money Transfer Scam

Look closer… much closer! If it looks too good to be true, it is! Scams are everywhere, and unless people blow the horn on them, they will continue to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

Today I received the following (read below) money transfer scam email in my company inbox.

It is much like the “Mystery Shopper Scam” that I received and blogged about a while back, in that you are told you will receive payment (money orders/checks) to be cashed at your Bank, you deduct 10%, which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed and then forward the balance via Western Union Money Transfer according to the instructions.

What happens in reality is this… you forward money from your bank account to these crooks, and when you find out that the cheques/money orders are fraud your money is gone, and there’s no way of getting it back.

Does this sound familiar? It’s the Mystery Shopper Scam all over again, only now posing simply as an emailed “Job Offer”.

Read the email for yourself and be warned!
