The Blogging Ean

  The Sunday Shield Project* Ean Jacob Mathew,   Age 10,  28/9/25, Sunday The common way of scamming is sending SMS messages saying they’re from the bank, but the easiest way to find if fraud or true is to look at the contact name. If it is a number, then its a definitely a fraud. But if its a name or code, like SIBSMS for South Indian Bank in iPhones, its most probably true.  Tip:  Never click on links or share personal information directly from the SMS. If in doubt, call the bank using the official number to confirm. And yeah, I’m doing this because I’m inspired by Mark Rober and his mission to destroy the scam industry. *This is a program to raise awareness against online scams, where I’ll post the way they scam and how to be protected from it. I’ll post every Sunday, as a weekly programme.   

  Online Scammers vs. Mark Rober Now, my favourite YouTubers are Mark Rober, Nick DiGiovanni and Mrwhosetheboss(Arun Maini). But my most favourite is Mark Rober(sorry Nick and Arun). Mark is a science YouTuber who has over 70M subs(7.12 crore) and is from the USA And one of my favourite video series of his is the Glitterbomb series where he fights against porch pirates with Glitterbombs. He also fights and tries to destroy the entire online scamming industry in India and the US. They were disguised as IT companies and call centres and BPOs. They were:                   • MET Technologies   • VRM Business Services     • Ansh Info Solutions     and one not disclosed yet.   So he, Jim Browning, Scammer Payback, and Trilogy Media(all YouTubers) worked together to destroy them. They even hacked the scam centres’ CCTV. They did it mainly to avenge Bessie, an old lady who got scammed of her life sav...

 How Apple is Struggling and Thriving Ean Jacob Mathew, Age 10, 21/9/2025 __________________________________________________ Apple has always been the most luxurious phone brand. Or is it? To answer this question, I researched online. And I am not only putting from online, but also the real problems faced by the real iPhone users I know.    I’m not only talking about iOS 26, but all the things in the last few years.  Apple’s been struggling in design because there’s nothing revolutionary coming; always modifying something. But now Apple brought out the new Liquid Glass design in iOS 26. Some users complain that readability is harder, some styles are more older styles, but people like me  like  the new Liquid Glass design. Then the exterior was the correct iPhone look till iPhone 16. But for iPhone 17, they’ve just made it look like an air pocket; all long and big; its lost the iPhone look.  Then Siri didn’t get the main intelligence that Apple promised...

  My Maruti Suzuki Swift 2012: Peeku   Ean Jacob Mathew Age 10 19/9/2025 ———————————————————————- My Swift, Peeku I call him that, is the most powerful car in my mind; not even Mercs stand a chance. My dad even raced with an Audi (in a safe manner, of course) and we won. Sure, he has a bit mechanical problems here and there, but, oh man, his power, it makes us awestruck. He is with us from 2012, and he loves us the way we do. Now, we’ve had an accident in 2015, when    I was 1.5 months old. I had a fracture in my shoulder but I didn’t fly away because my mom held me in her hand tightly and my grandmother flew from the backseat and hit the dashboard in front, as she was not wearing seatbelt. She got several bruises on her body, but everyone was okay. How it happened was, we were going back after dropping my aunt, who was in college back then, at her college, and it was a narrow road. Then a lady, who came opposite us, in a Maruti Ritz, slept off and came and crashed i...

  Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Old School   Ean Jacob Mathew  Age 10 14/9/2025 ________________________________________ This book was my first ever Wimpy Kid book and my great uncle said to me and my two cousins we can take one book from Lulu Mall Kottayam’s, DC Books NRI Fest and I took this book. I’ve always wanted a Wimpy Kid book and I got it. It’s a good book and the story is that Greg’s mom thinks that people these days are so in phones, and in her time everyone used to play and do other things. So she makes the town sign a petition to not use phones for one day and makes some people volunteer to clean the park. Then Greg goes on a field trip to stay at a farm called Hardscrabble Farms to get away from his dad who will be angry if he sees the dent in the bumper of his car Greg and Grandpa made last day. But it is scary in the farms. There is a ghost farmer there, says rumours, named Silas Scratch. But when his dad arrives he finds out he invented the rumour about Silas Scr...
