URGENT COMMUNITY NOTICE

Hubby sent me this.  Seems like there's always scammers out and about to rip people off.




Nowadays, if I happen to be home by myself, and anyone knocks at the door, and especially if a stranger, I refuse to answer the door.  Where we live now, there are hardly any knocks on the door anyway, unless it's UPS or such.  A few years ago, there was a friend who had a door mat that said Go Away.  Thinking perhaps, maybe we should get one of those anyway.  Now, if we are expecting someone like one of friends, then we answer the door, of course.  But solicitors and strangers can GO AWAY for real.  As in, stop bothering us.

Back when I lived in GA, and when I lived in neighborhoods, it was always like Grand Central station at my house.  Mostly it was friends who wanted to drop in unannounced and/or bring their kids for a babysitter.  For the most part, I don't like surprises, but back then a few $$$ of babysitting money always helped out, but the constant influx of people in and out just drove me nuts.  There were solicitors too.

A polite way to say NO SOLICITING

Want to leave a census form?  Then mail the stupid form, and we'll decide whether we want to or not, which more than likely is NO.  I decline any offers of corporate contracts. I have never filled out one.  Hubby has no memory of filling out one, but is unsure.  Stupid data mining with their twenty questions or more.

So... beware of this scam.  Yet another reason to refuse answering the door.

Companies, Shysters and Scams

Rant! Beware!...

Dunno about you all, but I see this thing where various companies offer this and that product for anti-aging, and the companies' founders look like hell.  Do they REALLY believe in their product?

Or just in it for the $$$$?




And then, there's this other thing where you try to contact someone at a company about a product, account, or a simple question, and they use the excessive javascript, flash, and contact forms to contact them.  Well, I can see the reasoning for contact forms, due to spambots spewing their never ending shit, but NOW, if you submit a stupid support ticket, and then they will send a form email acknowledging the ticket, but YET you have to LOG IN to check status of ticket. Especially when NO LOG IN credentials were never given to begin with.

WTF?!   How the hell do you contact real living human beings anymore?  Is everyone that damn lazy and brain damaged now?


The Spirit of Excellence has LONG since left the building.


This is one of the many bazillion problems thats' wrong with the world anymore.

My prayer is all these lazy ass scammers and companies will just go out of business.

Products have been, for the most part, compromised with excipients, dangerous fillers and other crap.

And the REAL GOOD stuff?!... You have to hunt down, and jump through a bazillion hoops to find and get it.

And the satanist cunts in power know it. THEY are responsible for it all.

How Crooks Are Stealing Credit Card Information - Video - WDIV Detroit

Since this happened to one of my sisters TODAY, I thought I had better post this, as most people are not aware that electronic pickpocketing tech exists.  Aluminum foil and such protection isn't good enough.  Have to disable and/or block that damn RFID shit.



You can buy aluminium wallets now to block the signal being picked up while still in your pocket. Just make sure nobody is too close when you whip it out. ;-)

However, they don't work if a criminal amps up power of a RFID reader and boosts antenna, easy with free online instructions on how to do it, they can still penetrate these passive shielding or blocking devices (wallets / credit card sleeves & aluminium cases) by what is called a brute force attack. These passive devices may limit the distance you can get skimmed from at best but you will still be skimmed if this happens.

Actual organised criminals (not just opportunist) can amp up a RFID readers power and boost the antenna and just by a brute force attack will still penetrate these passive RFID blocking or shielding wallets / purses, credit card sleeves or aluminium cases. At the best they may limit the distance you could get skimmed but you can still get your data skimmed. After doing the research on this to protect credit cards and passport go for an active solution like armourcard which is an electronic jamming product. You can use 'tap & go' every day and will really like the convenience of it but rest assured that at least you have secured your stuff to the best of your ability.

Just buy an Armourcard is electronically jams the frequency these cards & passport communicate over, best protection ever.  http://www.armourcard.com.au/

Another thing to beware of...

Have you been in a shopping mall or store that has a contest or give away, where you fill out an entry form for a free car, vacation or cash at a stand alone table or counter top? This was a scam reported at a local mall, the RFID reader, was hidden in the counter top so when people walked up to fill out the slip or read the sign, they read your credit card and stole your details. Shield your cards.  Be aware and BEWARE.
