Subject: Re: ST PATRIC'S DAY 2022 by vetteblondie on 2022/3/17 16:00:25 Beautiful perfect day here today and I'm stuck at work. Of course when I'm off tomorrow it will be storming and cooler. Figures. every freakin year. Oh well. I need to change my schedule I reckon. Marcus - my aunt got scammed like that. Some company offered to pay her to put a soft drink wrap on her car sent her a cashier's check - but what it actually was, the bank said, was a type of note that gives them access to what's in your account. She was cleaned out of her social security check plus some. I never heard if it got worked out or not, I guess it did, but I do wraps and they know that and they asked me and I told my cousin this was a scam and she did it anyway. Don't feel bad about it, scammers are getting smarter and more slick. They troll Craiglist and Marketplace and such looking for people to take advantage of. The bank either won't accept, or they accept then charge back or use a non legit third party escrow service, or buyer will pressure you into a wire transfer and be gone leaving out out of money. And, by then you have signed over your car so they have your car for the cost of a tow truck. Never accept a cashier's check unless they bring it in person and can go with you to your bank to cash it, or it's done bank to bank transfer. Or cold cash and you meet at a bank to have bills verified at the bank as authentic. In other news, Oneta will be let loose from the hospital today, I'm apprehensive, doc noted it and is including some particular notes in his discharge instructions. She checks out on vitals, no bacteria, no infections, just a weaker heart and woundcare so there's no reason for her to be there taking up a bed. I will go check on her tomorrow. |
