Good to know about Paypal. I considered that a safe site:( but then again, I just had to cancel my debit card because I shopped at Target!
I decided to set up a buffer account and get a debit/check card for that account. Any online shopping that I do will come out of that account. I will only move enough money in to cover the purchase, that way, that is all the money anyone could get. I would hate to go back to using that old stuff again...what was it called?? Oh, yes, CASH! |
Wait! What??? Are you saying that I'm not getting any money from Nigeria???? If I had known that I wouldn't have blown all of our retirement money at the casino. Boy is Steve going to be upset...........

Court appearance

Glad to see you are back in The Villages. Hope all is well. |
Received an Appearance Notice
A couple of weeks ago I received a Court Appearance notice and it was very good technically but I knew that it was a scam. I called the State's Cleark of Courts in the state that it was allegedly from. They said they were getting a number of complaints all over the country and to just ignore it as it is a scam. :police:

Never click on links or download anything from emails that you do not trust the owner of. If you click on a link, you may be redirected to an unsafe website. There is also something called "phishing", which is a phony website that disguises itself as another website and asks for login information. For example, a hacker may send you an email posing as your bank and ask for your credit card information.
Now if an email from an untrustworthy person is sent that tells you to be somewhere at a specific day and time and bring your legal documents with you, then that is a danger to you. |
Preventative measures
Good job on identifying spam! We would also recommend that you use a second "junk" email address for registering products or giving out on a regular basis. With so many online sites that require an email address, it is better to give them the "junk" address than your personal one. After all, it is pretty much just to log in and register the account. You can always give somebody a new email address. You can never take one back.
