OSUT#249 - What's Cooking at Your House??

[DoggyDaddy]

I think I'm going to start cleaning out some of the flowerbeds for the winter tomorrow. Some are kind of ratty looking, so might as well get a jump on it.

Grrr... I was just looking at my checking account and found another fraudulent charge. Thankfully it was on the old card which has already been shut down and replaced, but they're going to take care of disputing the charge and crediting my account. Already got my money from the previous one back in the account.

I think someone was funding a weed growing enterprise. First charge was to a hydroponic supply place in Florida. This one is from a garden supply place in Maryland.

Beer was delivered
Then off to lunch
Then back to the Legion because someone always comes up with something else.
Now I'm at home.

Anyway, I get an email when my debit card or credit card gets used.
It's a big help. About fraudulent charge

And WOW.
They sure raked us over the coals because we are a 'business'
NFL Sunday ticket was $333/month, for 3 months

I got a text and phone call for the charge at the hydroponic place in Florida, but it was to a PayPal account, so that may have flagged it. This one appears to have been made directly to the company.

I'm leery even of the texts from my credit union, because I got burned with one before. Someone had spoofed the credit union phone number and I fell for it. So now when I get one, I log in to my account and call the number that I know is good rather than returning a call or clicking on a link in a text.

In fact, that incident prompted the credit union to send out an email to all members warning of the spoofed number.

Oh, I just use texts as "FYI"
I never call a number from one, or an internet address.
(unless I ask for it from someone I know)

If I get an email that says login from here, or call this number... NOPE!
Always log onto the site directly.

Stuff like that

Speaking of, spent TOO MUCH on amazon this week.
Halloween stuff to make at home.
Adding some skeletons, and I need parts to light them, and animate them.
One of them will have a pump, to pump water into a bottle that will pour into the mouth of one.

Either putting them in lawn chairs, or.. something like this
