hehe kenyans are gullible. I don't trust newspaper adverts anymore esp, where money is concerned.

TrueCaller functions much like the directory of yore, albeit a digital one. When one instals it, they allow the app to access their contacts and thus inadvertently uploading the same data onto their servers. What this means then is that if any if your pals who has your contact in their phone instals it and does the do, your contacts will thus find their way there. On the plus side, it enables you identify those annoying 'private' callers as well as block known 'spam' callers.

Reminded me of this story

During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!

The careless ones will also get you identified via truecaller boss!!!!

True McR. Not being on Truecaller doesn't mean your number, name & most probably profession/work place aren't there - just takes one person who's saved your number to install the App...

FancyFace - found myself in your position. Strangely, the only solution I could think of was installing the App n updating my name sans the profession as appeared before. As someone's posted before, it does have its merits once you have it.
