In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...

ReplyDeleteUgh! They just keep coming up with stuff!
ReplyDeleteTHese people could be caught and prosecuted, but somehow these are viewed as "victim-less crimes" and not investigated as vigorously as they should...they are as bad as masked stick-up crooks!
ReplyDeleteGood to know. Always one bugger or another, out there.
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteThat's one scam call I haven't gotten. Yet.
ReplyDeleteI never answer any phone call unless it is from someone I know so I have avoided the scams. Thanks for the heads up though.
ReplyDeleteOnce I get a call like that, I block them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, be careful of warnings about your computer crashing. Some can even disable your compute, hold it hostage. If that happens, take it to Best Buy or some equivalent. Vicious.
If a number calls that doesn't come up on my call ID, i don't answer. If it's important, they will leave a message. If the message is anything about "we need to contact you in regards to your bank account/computer/etc., i just don't call back.
ReplyDeleteIf they want my help catching scammers, they must be desperate!
I never give my details to anyone. And when I receive a phone call from an unknown person/source. I give them very short shift; and slam the phone down on them after sometimes advising them to have a relationship with their own self!
ReplyDeleteThank you, River. :)
We are always getting warnings about that here in the UK but people, especially the elderly, are still getting scammed. I can't repeat what I would like to do with these scammers - scamming scum all of them.
