YET ANOTHER SCAM ON FACEBOOK

The best part of this obvious scam is that the person is trying to scam people in the USA out of money with a "US government program". Here is the funny part, I'm Canadian and so was the person they cloned the account of.

Literally all of us on her friends list got a message from this person or at least a friend request from them. As you see when I made fun of their inability to run a scam, I got blocked LOL. The block was instant HA.

It's obvious that they don't speak English well as well. No one fell for it of course. I mean why would she make a new account and refriend us all just to tell us about some program from the government? This makes literally no sense at all.

The other thing is, we all know that the nice old lady does NOT use messenger at all. The other giveaway is that this was sent from a computer, not a mobile device with messenger installed. The lady in question only uses her phone to do Facebook. All in all it was a big fail as a scam.

There has been a great deal of this going around as of late. Several older people I am friends with on FB have been cloned in the last 3 months and then those accounts try to ad us as friends or to message us.

It was out of curiosity that I actually accepted the message request from this person to see what all this effort is about.

BTW tell me what segment of the population is referred to as "Windows"? HAHAHA. The "New program" they talk about was actually in effect in 1972 in the USA, so it's not at all new.

The sad thing is, if they keep this up, they will eventually get someone to hand over money or a credit card number. Some people will fall for anything. In fact I know a couple that have fallen for several online scams in the past. Not to mention all the viruses they get on their laptop from clicking bad adverts on click trap web pages.

Anyway, keep an eye out for someone you know all the sudden adding you on FB for no reason.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
