I was telling him that i liked the sound of ponder.<br />As to someone stealing your information/life; My daughter had hers stolen from her locked mailbox from a gated community. She discovered the problem when she got to the mail first and found a new credit card that she had not ordered. (Her name can be male or female) The man who stole the information ended up in jail on unrelated charges. She had to do all the leg work to get things straightened out; the bank did nothing to help. It took months!<br />So, great advice! Be diligent!

Let me tell you, these people are really really good at what they do. In short they ring your home phone, usually an elderly person and they know their first and last name. (Lots of older people are in the phone book) they pretend to be a police officer or your bank and tell you they have arrested a person who has cloned your card. Eventually they you to ring your bank which you do but they stay on the line and then answer the phone to you as your bank. They get your PIN number and finally say you must seal your cards in an envelope which they will send a courier to collect, usually an innocent cab driver. Then then spend your money. <br />It sounds so simple but I can tell you thousands of people have fallen for it. <br />Please pass on to any elderly neighbours or relatives. Thank you.

We got a card from the Post Office this week, saying they couldn't deliver some mail because it was short on postage, so we need to go and pay first before we get our letter. Hmm, last time this happened the other half went to the Post Office and paid, only to find it was junk mail! We're not expecting anything right now, so I think we're going to leave it at the post office, if you don't claim within 18 days they return it to the sender.As for all the other scams, we don't do them. Don't buy anything from anyone at the door either, if I want anything I'll go out and get it myself.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463317651625459406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-10201633860699226862015-09-27T16:27:35.865+01:002015-09-27T16:27:35.865+01:00Absolutely on point.

We have had numerous articles in the news about scams often focused on the elderly. <br /><br />It pays great dividends to be skeptical of all media propaganda. If something is so great, why do they need to pay millions to advertise? The question I ask myself all the time. Note all the words they use also. "Natural" is a big one and totally meaningless.
