THE RISKS OF POSTING BUSINESS IN THE INTERNET

We are now in the age of advanced information technology. Communication became faster and faster. Perhaps, one of the more, if not the most important discovery in this field is the worldwide web or the internet. Many businesses flourished because of the internet. If you have a business and you do not have presence in the internet, you are way, way behind. Everybody now is using the internet to market their products.

There are many advantages of having an internet presence BUT there are also many RISKS that you face. Just like in the real world, in the world wide web, are also many scammers, hackers, spammers, identity thieves, "vultures, crododiles.." etc. They would try every means to deceive, trap, fool, steal ... people.

I was one of those victims. I got the shock of my life when I found my picture posted in one of the sites with bold letters announcing that I am no longer connected with Elohim Realty Services and any transaction with me in behalf of the office will no longer be honored. Oh my GOSH, how could that happened that I am no longer connected with the office wherein I am the owner and Sole Proprietor??? I received an email pretending to be coming from the management of Elohim Realty Services telling who the culprit is, responsible in posting such ad. This person or group of people are misrepresenting my office. Upon the advise of my lawyer, we issued an announcement to the public in the same site to counter the malicious and misleading advertisement.

When you are doing business in the internet, you have to be very careful indeed and at the same time, show toughness - "a fist for a fist and a tooth for a tooth fight" against unscrupulous people. REPORT and ACT AT ONCE.

To all my clients, my valid email addresses are: maribethollet@yahoo.com; maribethro@gmail.com. Do not entertain other email addresses when dealing with Elohim Realty Services. Also, verify first through this mobile # 09205351059 if the person you are dealing with is really connected with my office. Deal with me directly. (maribethollet)
