NWI INGO General Thread #26 - Pink Pooping Spiders & Raccons

Worrying about online fraud is like worrying about being struck by lightning.

Again, the things you guys fret over is unreal. Pretty sure I've written less than 20 checks in my life. If I visit a bank 2x a year that would shock me. It's usually to get 300 in $1/$5 for Mexico trip.

Let me guess: $1 for the small margarita, $5 for the fishbowl size margarita with bamboo umbrella?

I can't.
Dad just had that bypass surgery, so I and family are going to be collecting leaves and whatever else needs to be done around their house.

Looks like ZurokSlayer is going, or maybe going.

I lol at this article. Born and raised in LS. Work in the city for the past 23 years. I can name a crap load of cities that, at least in my opinion, in Indiana that would be worse to live in

Indiana City Named Worst Place To Live In The Entire State

Do you think you know which city was named as the worst place to live in Indiana?

Sounds like a place that is north of 30 in the ghetto.

Most definitely but Indy is south of 30 and I sure as hell wouldn't wanna live there

Agreed, both places are unfit for habitation.

Looks like a click-bait article to me. Web people gotta post something, so they post crapola with a headline.

I mean, you don't have to go far for Gary, and who'd rather live in Gary than LS? No offense to any here from Gary, just sayin ...

If the weather cooperates, I'll be on leaf duty. My place is a mess. Maybe try to walk thru the CP gun show at some point.

My late ex-BF Fred lived in Lake Station, and when we were together, I spent a lot of time there. Shopped at the Arab-owned grocery store, the pawn shop next to the liquor store, and the little Mexican store. Had many a cone at the Dairy Queen and ate my body weight in Mexican food at this little place that I think was next to a phone store. Drove up and down the streets on the east side of town a lot. Many if not most of the yards were well-kept. The people I met were friendly--in fact, friendlier than the people in Crown Point where I grew up.

You are extremely naive.

Dad is back home earlier than expected. Fingers crossed but it's a good sign.

I buy online daily.

I send money through 3 of the big payment apps.

I have 7 credit cards linked to my digital wallet.

I swipe my phone at gas pumps and stores..

I have zero fear of anything happening because if it does, it's a text message away and it's fixed. No worries.

They just wanted him to be cranky at home, away from them.

Naw, he's probably cranky because he liked the nurse's attention.

Like I said, you are extremely naïve. Using services is one thing, but thinking there is no fear in doing so is another. You have to be very careful of everything you do online. The websites you visit, links you click on, emails you read. When you think you're too smart to fall for something like that is when you will.

Depending upon how bad you are taken, it can take a lot more than just a text message to fix. Full on identity theft has ruined people's whole financial lives.

The best advice I can give anyone is to get a password manager app. Use it to randomly generate every password for every app or site. Use as long a password as allowed. Assume any password you have used a lot has been compromised. Don't save your passwords in your browser.
