Story doesn't pass the smell test for me.
So old school writing stuff down…who does that? Voice to text very accurate. 5 minute phone call is all it takes. Ok my mom in law write everything down on newspaper or envelopes, but she can’t figure out cellphones, so at 97 it’s expected.

Friday at Havana, for lunch, a lady probably in 80s on her phone gave her CC# making an appointment for HVAC that wasn’t running. One worries about your CC being duplicated, at restaurants. This would be easier for anyone, no CC in hand.

Think any person could press record on their phone, all info captured clearly. This was a post to make people aware of how easy one can make this information public.
