bangkok awaits for all of you!!

Now The GodFather has opened Bangkok!

For some groups of players, they will have more passports to share with friends.. My main account didn't have more passports because I have sent to 3 friends before.. But then I have 4 more passports instantly!

And so my other accounts who has no ability to share passports.. now able to send 2 or 3 of them.. Also we can loots the passport from doing jobs! And able to send the passport right away to our friend.

Now there are also 3 choices of getting passport to Bangkok.. I have posted about it several days before..
You can see the clerk, buy with 30 Godfather Points or simply ask from your friends.

I really not suggest you to spend your 30 Reward Points (although you'll have 3 passport to share), I suggest you to get it for free! Ask your mafias or visit the clerk.. if you're not lucky, you have to wait for 20 hours to try again.. and if you're lucky.. see below screen-shot!

Zynga said that our goal for this passport distribution system is to maintain a steady flow of users coming into the new city to keep the Bangkok servers running smoothly for everyone. We want to provide exciting and uninterrupted game play for all, while giving you a fun and challenging obstacle to conquer.. (taken from the official blog).

“Ex-Girlfriend” Worm Spreading Through Facebook

In the past hour I’ve noticed multiple users who have posted a message stating “My Ex-Girlfriend Cheated on me… Here is my revenge!” The image was not of their ex though. As a curious individual, I decided to click on the link to see if it was a virus or something else. The result was that I ended up posting the article to my profile and now it’s spreading around Facebook.

The key here is to not click the link if you see it on your friends’ profile or on your homepage. By using some creative CSS and an iFrame, this developer has triggered the “share” event every time a person clicks on the image displayed on the page. It’s a really creative trick, and one that I’m sure Facebook will block in a short amount of time but you should definitely be aware of the issue.

If you see an image like the one pictured below show up on your newsfeed or your profile: don’t click it!!

Facebook Is Not Going To Charge For Their Site

There have been numerous rumors over the past few years about Facebook charging for their site. None of them have been true so far and none of them will be true. Yes, Facebook could theoretically charge for specific features, but the $4.99 a month fee that some groups are claiming are flat out inaccurate. The largest group which grew to over 100,000 users was quickly removed by Facebook, however new versions of the group are beginning to sprout up.

Yesterday I received multiple inquiries from people, including journalists, about whether the rumors of Facebook charging a fee were true. No, the rumors are not. Did I call Facebook to find out whether or not the rumors were true? No. I just know that Facebook would be shooting themselves in the foot by charging for access. Want to keep investigating the story further? You’ll be wasting your time.

Facebook didn’t become the most popular site in the U.S. on Christmas by charging for their service, and they aren’t going to become the largest site in the world by charging for their service. Facebook will begin charging for access on the same day Google decides to charge users on a per search basis. Every year there are multiple groups claiming that Facebook will soon begin charging for their service in an attempt to get thousands if not millions of users to join quickly.

While Facebook has plenty of other monetization plans, including the rapid expansion of the Facebook Credits system, none of those plans include a fee-based access model.

Has your facebook been running slow lately?

Over the past 36 hours, a Facebook bug has been causing users to see an application installed on their account called “Unnamed Application” . Facebook says that the bug has been fixed, however hundreds of people are continuing to post status updates about the issue. While users are claiming that it’s spyware, it’s a bug in Facebook which should not damage your account or computer in any way.

While the number of users affected by the bug is unknown, at the peak of the issue being reported, there were hundreds of people posting status updates about the issue every second. Yesterday evening we watched Facebook search as numerous users posted status updates like:

Has your facebook been running slow lately? Check your ‘application settings’, go into ‘added to profile’. If you see one in there called”un named app” delete it… Its an internal spybot. Pass it on…………

While a much greater percentage of status updates this evening are related to the Apple iPad announcement, there are still hundreds if not thousands of users posting about the error. Facebook however is saying that the issue has since been fixed. Unfortunately Facebook is not providing any other details but based on what users have been telling us, removing the application resulted in your boxes tab being removed from Facebook.

It was most definitely a strange bug, but it isn’t something that you should be overly concerned about.

Be cautious about Facebook Phishing Scam

New Phishing Scam Now Spreading Via Facebook Chat. Beware!!

Hackers and spammers have been using relatively similar tactics over the past few months to compromise Facebook user accounts. The most recent scam spreading on Facebook involves the use of hijacked user accounts for sending out chat messages with links to the standard Facebook phishing page. When the user clicks the link, they are sent to a fake Facebook login page and then redirected to the actual Facebook after their email and password has been stolen.

The system then automatically logs in with the user’s account and spams all their friends via chat. This form of phishing scam utilizes automated robots to perform these tasks on a large level. Facebook is known for aggressively pursuing phishers, scammers, and hackers. However once in a while new security vulnerabilities appear on Facebook. This is the latest one of those.

My guess is that Facebook will have this new security issue resolved relatively quickly as the offending site will be blocked and Facebook will set up a filter to remove the chat message. The chat message that we received stated: “ROFL this you?! http://43.ly/4mKW”. Had I not known that this is a standard scam, I could have easily been duped.

There’s no telling how many users have had their accounts compromised in this latest attack but if you want to protect yourself, make sure not to click on any questionable links sent by your friends via chat.

triad and yazuka history

Knowing about the history of triad and yazuka

The Yakuza
Created in 1915, the Yamaguchi-gumi is the biggest yakuza family, 45% of all yakuza in Japan, with more than 45,000 members divided into 750 clans. Despite more than one decade of police repression, the Yamaguchi-gumi has continued to grow. From its headquarters in Kobe, it directs criminal activities throughout Japan. It is also involved in operations in Asia and the United States. Shinobu Tsukasa, also known as Kenichi Shinoda, is the Yamaguchi-gumi's current oyabun. He follows an expansionist policy, and has increased operations in Tokyo (which has not traditionally been the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi)


The Triads
Triad (simplified Chinese: 三合会; traditional Chinese: 三合會; pinyin: Sānhéhuì; literally "Triad Society") is a term that describes many branches of Chinese underground society and/or organizations based in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, and Mainland China, and also in Western countries and cities with significant Chinese populations such as New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Their activities include car theft, contract killing, drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering, gambling, prostitution, and other forms of racketeering. A major source of the triad's income today comes from the counterfeiting of copyrighted and trademarked goods such as clothing, coin counterfeiting, computer software, counterfeit money, handbags, music, CDs, watches and movie VCDs/DVDs. They also trade in endangered species as well as bootleg tobacco and alcohol products.

Bangkok Mastery Levels:level 5

We can say Bangkok is similar to Moscow in some aspects..They have both factions (or sides), hard to get money (at the beginning), has business, and soon. Also has some differences. including the fight model (soon for Bangkok), the reputation, etc..

I want to discuss about the mastery level.

Moscow has 3 mastery levels of each episodes (just like New York and Cuba), but now in Bangkok we have 4 mastery levels!

But again, there is a bug about this mastery level. One of our friends has 5 mastery levels instead of one.. Please see screenshotbelow..

Not a good one.. I hope this bug not continue to the next episodes... If the problem persist, please report this to the Support Team.. You can find the link to them on your top right corner on the game screen.
