» BlueFur.com Customer of the Week: Jeannette Duguay.

Quoted from the article:

“An avid fan of BlueFur since 2004, entrepreneur Jeannette Duguay (“Jen” to friends) wears a variety of hats.

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

You see, on Feb. 11th 2010, BlueFur announced that it is now under new ownership and that we can expect lots of positive changes, especially in the customer care and service dept.

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!

Congratulations to new owners Ben & Joel. All the best to you and the gang at BlueFur!

JenTekk has had the pleasure of creating the Kids SRC website for the past four years.

We’ve just received the official news today… that we can make it 5 years in a row!

Kids SRC 2010 Theme: READING ROCKS!

Judging by the above poster, this year’s theme is going to be a blast to design for.

Thanks to BCLA and the great people with Kids SRC – I look forward to working with you again!

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!

On behalf of JenTekk Web Solutions and Associates, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

May it be full of joy, laughter and much love!

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!
