Skype Support . . . Time To Take A Stand

Few days ago I discovered that my Skype account was hijacked.  My password was not accepted.  Resetting my password, took me to a new foreign account that does not belong to me.  The name of the new account holder is 'Onestep Ahead' and the ID is 'onestep999'.  

I contacted Microsoft.  Signing in to my account maggie.pimm took me to my second account, maggie.pimm2, which means all care was taken for me not to access my account, neither with my password, nor by using the sign in details of Microsoft. 

We tried to go to Skype support.  On Skype Support page there is no access to Skype Support.  It is a page where they offer their services, and if we have questions, go to the Community.  Do you think the community will be able to tell me how to access my account, and how to reach customer service?

After exhausting all possibilities, a very friendly agent advised me to go to level 2 management - they will be able to bring back my account to me.  So, I did and I explained to them that I cannot access Skype support.  Within 24 hours, they replied, that I should go back to Skype Support.  

Obviously, at least I assume, they must have communicated with Skype Support to sort it out, and this is what I would expect from any sane customer service.  However, either Skype Support claims the best way to do it is contact them, while on their webpage the public has no access to Skype Support, unless this is a special page designed for Maggie Pimm :-), or nobody else within Microsoft knows what is being done within Skype and how things are handled, and they are shoving me away to Skype Support.  

Either way, this is not acceptable to delay the resolution of the problem, and to keep gangsters hijacking my Skype room, creating havoc under my name.  It is well known, that friends are contacted to ask for money, and people pay wanting to help their friends to discover their money has been paid to hackers.  People may not be aware, hackers take newly acquired rooms as a basis to access friends rooms and infect them with viruses, and it continues on and on.  

It seems that everybody is taking Skype hackings for granted and considering them as necessary evil, while it is not.  Reality is, if the public is not aware about the implications of hackings; that hackings are not necessary and should be prevented, then at least Microsoft should know the implications of hackings and that it is preventable.  Simply, these viruses are induced by human fingers, and officials are turning the head, not wanting to see, relying on their trusted friends in the Network.  

Few months ago, when I managed the second and third hacking, I was able to access Skype Support and to get the chat with the agent emailed to me.  Doing that, I could show that Skype Support agents are involved in the matter. 

Now we have a new website design where no pathway to access Skype Support is identifiable. I asked the agent to show me how I can go to Skype Support, she could not tell me.  The chat with the actually very friendly Microsoft agent was not forwarded to me by email.  This design is obviously designed by humans, Microsoft Head Office independent, to protect Skype Support from customers having evidence for what is being done and what is being said. 

Moreover, the behaviour of the hijackers is more like gang like.  They remind me of the Pink Panther who left his glove with his initials in the crime scene, and catch me if you can.  The name given to the account that is not mine, onestep ahead, is actually the user name of my account with Empower Network. Obviously, what is happening is not circumstantial, but deliberate, orchestrated by some baddies of the leading Network in the industry, who call themselves PRO. 
  • Last week, or more, while I was looking at my posts at IBO toolbox, all of them vanished in front of my eyes, and were returned after complaining to good people at the Network.  
  • Few months ago, I wrote an ebook, Network Marketing Today.  It was hijacked and after writing about the matter on my blog, naming the person who did it, it was returned missing some chapters.  I asked for its return lately, to no avail.
  • Kindly, after returning my ebook, I unpublished my blog post.  I had told that person, if he does not send to me a copy, a full copy, I will republish it.  I looked at my blog two days ago to find all my blog posts on draft were mixed up with published documents.  After sorting my documents, I found this blog post had vanished.  Another blog post was added to drafts, just the title and few lines, which I have never written.  The title was 'Bad Google Customer Service'.
I am herewith calling all people to take a stand.  CEOs and Owners of Network Marketing companies to take a stand, and stop what is going on from happening.  I am calling Microsoft to take a stand and clean their rows.  It is not about just collecting money from customers for cost effective calls and more.  If the public is offered a facility to use, then the public needs to be handled with respect, and not have them subject to mishandling by a gang that is infiltrating the InterNetwork Marketing industry.

Today it is me . . . Tomorrow it is you
Take A Stand

Will Smith How To Excel In Life

'Will Smith How To Excel In Life' is a collection of the best of Will Smith's motivational quotes on video and how we can relate his views about Talents vs Skills to our success in the InterNetwork Marketing industry.

According to Wikipedia, 'Willard Carroll "Will" Smith, Jr.[1][2][3] (born September 25, 1968) is an American comedic and dramatic actor, producer, and rapper. He has enjoyed success in television, film and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called him the most powerful actor in Hollywood.[4] Smith has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.'


You do not want to know how many 6 figures he earned . . . but trust me, he is worth listening to.


Talents and Skills
Will Smith makes a distinction between talents and skills.  Talents are your natural aptitude to do something.  They are born with you.  Skills can only be developed after hours and hours of dedicated beating up your craft.

It does not matter how talented you are in a certain area of your being; unless you develop your skills around this talent, your talent will fail you.

Recognize What Your Talents Are
While we recognize that honing our skills is mandatory and essential to excel in life, the question is what skills?

It is well known that it is much more difficult to achieve result and be good at doing something for which you have no talent, as compared with something for which you have talent.  I am not saying it will not happen, but it is harder and take longer time to accomplish what you want to achieve, forget about the dissatisfaction associated with it.

I can ask you to write an essay using your write hand, and if you are left handed, I can tell you, it does not matter, 'hone your craft, learn to write with your right hand'.  And you bet, Will Smith loved his treadmill and he was naturally comfortable exercising.

The Cloning Dilemma Of The Industry
Traditionally, ways to build the business in Network Marketing are passed over to you by the leaders; these are the ways in which they succeeded and whole heartedly they are giving them over to you sincerely wanting your success.  However, they will end up trying to clone themselves which naturally is not possible, because each of us is different, and what my leader is talented with is different than what any of his downline may be talented with. 

Find Out What Your Strengths Are
In InterNetwork Marketing, there are so many ways to build a business.  Some are more comfortable using the 3 miles rule of traditional network marketing.  Some others are more comfortable using the phone. Some others are happy to advertise.  Some use social media.  And the list goes on.

Each person who manages to succeed in one of these areas, claims success and attempts to prosper from selling the skills they developed.  Fair enough.  However, it is YOU who need to find out for yourself, in what area YOU feel comfortable with.  What are your strengths?  Use and develop your skills in the area of your natural talent.

It does not matter, what you are selling.  You can sell your weight loss product or an ebook by advertising, or on the blog, or by social media or by video marketing, or a combination of all of the above.  The nature of the product to be sold is of no importance at all.  All the above mentioned internet marketing areas are nothing else but tools that can be used to help you achieve success in your primary network marketing company all the same.

Eyes Shut Wide


It is not a mistake . . .

'Eyes Wide Shut' is the name of a film that most people probably know.  It was filmed by Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, and directed by Stanley Kubrick.

'The story, set in and around New York City, when Alice (Nicole Kidman) reveals to Bill (Tom Cruise) that she had contemplated an affair a year earlier. In jealousy and despair, he goes on a night-long adventure, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an unnamed secret society'.  (Wikipedia) . 

A person on Youtube talked about being a subject to the doing of hidden dark forces of the society, and to me  'Eyes Wide Shut' is nothing but going about our own life not seeing what ought or could be seen, if we simply take the time and open our mind to take things.
                   . 

 

6 months ago I was at a facebook group 'Mind, Body and Soul'.  This group was very popular; moderators hardly coping with the number of people requesting to join or commenting. 

It was fascinating to see how people were eagerly interacting, some about a mind issue and others about a body issue, each busy with whatever business they had in mind, that drove them to be there in first instance.

However, I noticed a woman who spoke half German/ half French offering in the group loans at a very reduced rate.  I thought, hmmm interesting.  May be our Network Marketing leaders got this idea to help their fellow network marketers at the base.

And just like Tom Cruise found himself driven to follow a vision or a call to come to his orgie, I found myself communicating with Giselle to see what this is all about.  She said she is happy to give me a loan, as much as I like, millions are ok, I should just name how much I want, and all went well, until we came to the bright finale, that I need to pay first bank fees for her to be able to get the money and then she will give me the loan.  By the way, I am not inventing the story; I have a copy of our communications saved. 

From the way the conversation went, I felt there were others in the background.  She was just a figure at the forefront.  However, when they ascertained I was not to give any money to them in advance, she vanished from facebook, and a new woman with a different name and photo, speaking French this time, was offering the same.  I prompted her with the question: 'Ou est Giselle?' meaning 'Where is Giselle?' - and this woman vanished from the scene instantly, and I followed suit soon thereafter.

I wonder, of the thousands of people in this Facebook group, how many noticed Giselle?  By the way there were two others who were offering finance in a different way; Giselle was not the only one.  And I wonder if Facebook is having her Eyes Wide Shut.  Under the circumstances, it is us who need to have our Eyes Shut Wide - that is, we need to be vigilant even when we are asleep.
