What You Need to Know about the One Ring and Other Phone Scams (Guest Post)

With so many highly intelligent scams affecting people today, telephone scams still remain the top threat to consumers. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) reported that in 2018, 69% of all reported scams were phone scams. Once a scammer has you on the phone, they will attempt to fraudulently take your money with heavy handed sales pitches, empty promises and phony threats—whether live or automated. The latest phone scam has been coined the “One Ring” scam. Your phone will ring once and end. You think you missed the call so you ring the caller back. You may get an actual person or possibly a recording. As you’re waiting to figure out who’s on the other end, high interconnect fees are adding up, similar to calling a 900 number, and you’re racking up high phone bills while you wait. The phone number on caller ID will most likely appear to be an in-country call, but the calls are actually being trafficked from overseas. 

How to Feel Better about the Way You Look

Feeling better about the way you look doesn’t have to be an impossible task. You don’t have to invest thousands in designer clothing and you also don’t have to spend hours talking in front of the mirror either. In fact, by following the below tips you will soon find that feeling better about yourself is now easier than ever before.

Define Yourself

It’s so important that you make your self-esteem contingent on the qualities that you have on the inside, rather than outside. Focus on what you like about yourself, such as your personality, relationship or even the way that you see the world. Sometimes you just need to go back to basics in order to really change yourself because when you do this, you will then see that you are a unique individual who has absolutely everything to give.

Don’t Freak Out

If you feel as though you look bad, then you will probably experience a good degree of anxiety and stress. That’s normal, but you need to make sure that it doesn’t get to you. Take the time to look after yourself, brush your hair and also make sure that you maintain your appearance. Sometimes, just doing this can help you to feel better and you would be surprised at what an impact it could have on your overall wellbeing.
