You may not know this but a lot of credit card fraud, hackers and spammers us what you call a proxy server where they can hide their IP address and go undetected. The fact is, even blogs are targeted using proxy servers by hackers and spammers. If you are a merchant with an online store, you would want to protect your site from fraudulent individuals where they use credit cards to purchase merchandise from your store only to find out later that the identity provided by the buyer isn’t real. You will suffer chargebacks and loss of revenue if you’re not vigilant in protecting your site.

There is a solution to that. Did you know that you can detect anonymous servers by using a program that will provide you an Anonymous Proxy List. You can use the tool simply by placing a code in your website that will detect whether the incoming IP address is using a proxy or not. This will help deter spammers and hackers as soon as they see that their access is being traced.

The IP2Proxy provides a proxy list that merchants can use to identify hackers and fraudulent users within a 24 hour period. It is a very manageable tool that webmasters can utilize and it is customizable where the report can be automated to run at specified or scheduled times.

You may also download a Free tool by going to http://www.ip2location.com/demo-ip2proxy.aspx, copying the code and embedding the code into your site. This is a free detection tool that would provide a unique display on your site telling the user whether he has been detected using a proxy server or not. You should give it a try.

The Yahoo Group email that was started by our very own, Divina “Binday” Dominguez-Garcia is alive and well.  We all communicate through it, including the Dangoys, the Alcalas, Tanchicos, and the Dominguez clan.  However, we haven’t seen much reaction from the Lavariases and the Dizons.

The calendar is well updated (from  the active members such as Ate Corrie for the Tanchicos, and Maridee for the Dangoys).  Thanks to their active participation.

We would l ike to request for a representative from the Dizons and the Lavariases to help us update the calendars with birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates so that members may be made aware of the special events that they have in mind.

Again many thanks to the active participants… let’s keep the yahoogroup growing.

To all those who didn’t know, I went home to the Philippines last month to help a friend bury his father’s ashes. I didn’t have a chance to go to Baclaran to see our property there but from my understanding, it isn’t doing too good. I would invest in it only if you will all agree. I would like to take a loan and get the house completed, hire a Property Manager (companies like that are all over like Real Property Management whom we can use to manage the property) and rent it out to Balikbayans.

I just feel bad that the only thing that reminds us or ties us to our parents is this small property left behind for us. Yet, we are not utilizing it to the best that we could. We just can’t let the property sit there. What do you guys think?

Our cousin, Danette Dizon from Seattle, Washington contacted me via Facebook asking when the next Reyes Reunion would be.  I haven’t responded just yet as I want to throw it out there first and get your opinion.  Remember, I won’t be coordinating this reunion anymore as I already had my share (of headaches – haha!)

So, who’s in?  Are you willing to host a reunion?  Maryland or New York?  Philippines?

Let me know who’s interested and I’ll send an Evite out.
