what is so wrong about working for a big corporate bank?

We Answered:

I work for a big corporate bank too. I like my job, but realistically banking is a boys club, maybe your brother is looking out for you in that sense? or maybe he is jealous that he is not in the field your in?

Not from you but from different people. I would bet it was a scam



Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):


If you receive any email that mentions a UK phone number starting with +4470, it is almost guaranteed to be a scam. Usually the presence of a +44 70 number in a 419 scam email means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria. Do not reply to such emails!

The scammer most likely is NOT based in the UK. +44 70 numbers belong to international call forwarding services. These services make it possible for scammers to hide the fact that they are based in Nigeria or other countries in Africa, while the scam victim will believe they're dealing with someone in the UK. Very few if any legitimate individuals use these numbers. Banks, law offices, immigration officials, etc. never use +44 70 numbers. We have not come across any legitimate UK businesses yet that use +44 70 numbers. There only visible user base are scammers in Nigeria and elsewhere. It is a perfect mystery why the UK authorities allow these services to continue operating.

UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UKL 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.

In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam. Unfortunately the authorities in the UK do not seem to be taking action to shut down such phone numbers.

Donald Said:

What career path should I take?

We Answered:

It sounds like you would be happy doing any of the three. I think you have it listed PR, Investment Banking, Broadcast Journalism...in that specific order...for a reason. Obviously, PR is what came to your mind first when thinking about what you would want to do. Also, think about it this way: there are more PR reps than the other two professions. Maybe they don't all work with celebrities, but there are more PR reps. Easier to get going in that. The fewest high paying jobs is in broadcast journalism, so your odds of being successful are lower.

Would Sam Houston be a Republican or a Democrat today?

We Answered:

Who was Sam Houston? A great American navigator? Today he would be dead. It would kill him to know how politics are today.
