Who the hell does he think he is talking to saying I expect your response.

I saw very little of what he wrote cuz i get wacko mail all the time.

I got your email contact through an opt-in consumer directory THIS IS THE PART THAT ANNOYED ME THE MOST. oh yeah? cuz i aint no part of no opt in directory.

But in your interpretation, I have read this charmers words. Does anyone fall for the BS?

What really annoys the heck outta me, is that i pray online and it is a heart felt prayer and not just praying hands, and then some dipshit guy tells me oh he is so impressed with me and wants to be my friend but for some reason it wont go thru? YEAH, CUZ IT IS BLOCKED U DUFUS. What would possess a person to think its a good time to hit on a woman right after she prayed for someone facing serious problems.

Yeah, who the hell signs a letter A Srt.

He best go back to scamming/spamming school cuz he stinks at it.

SCAM OF THE DAY:

Scam of the day – April 7, 2023 – Electronic Tax Filing Company Hacked

Steven Weisman, Esq.

Apr 6

Approximately 90% of taxpayers file their federal income tax returns electronically. Electronic filing is easy and generally secure. However, it has just been discovered that eFile.com an electronic e-filing software service authorized by the IRS was hacked and malicious malware inserted into the site. Someone using eFile would see a legitimate appearing browser update notice indicating that you needed to click on a download button to update your browser in order to access the site. If you clicked on the button you would download malware that could full access to your computer.

The full extent of the hack is yet to be determined, but it is a matter of great concern. e-File has a great deal of personal information of its users including their Social Security numbers.

TIPS

If you used e-File.com, saw the notice and clicked on the button to download the malware you should do an anti-virus scan using your security software to see if your computer was infected.

You should also change your e-File password and make sure that you have a unique password for each of your other online accounts so that if your e-File password was compromised, all of your accounts will not be in danger.

If you have not already done so, set up dual factor authentication for each of you accounts where it is available. This will protect you from having those accounts stolen by someone who may have access to your password.

Freezing your credit is also something everyone should do. It is free and easy to do. In addition, it protects you from someone using your identity to obtain loans or make large purchases even if they have your Social Security number. If you have not already done so, put a credit freeze on your credit reports at all of the major credit reporting agencies. Here are links to each of them with instructions about how to get a credit freeze:

Scam of the day – April 15, 2023 – Phony Bank Text Message Scams

Steven Weisman, Esq.

Apr 14

Phony text messaging, called smishing, which purport to be from your bank is a scam about which I have been warning you for years, but appears to be a scam that is dramatically increasing. Recently, I received a text message that appeared to come from Citizens Bank which read "Account on hold: Reason unverifiable profile. Please update your profile below immediately to avoid blockage." A link then appeared in the text message that had no obvious connection to Citizens Bank.

Phony text messages like this can be particularly problematic if you have signed up to receive text message alerts from your bank. Whenever you receive a text message you can never be sure who is really sending it to you, so you should never call a telephone number indicated in the text message, provide information or click on links in such text messages which may either download ransomware malware on to your phone or keystroke logging malware that can lead to your becoming a victim of identity theft.

The best course of action when you receive such a text message, if you have a concern that it may be legitimate, is to merely independently contact your bank to determine whether or not the text message was a scam, but be careful that you do not misdial the telephone number of your bank as some scammers purchase phone numbers similar to those of legitimate banks and credit card companies hoping that they will receive calls from unwary consumers who may have merely misdialed the telephone number of their bank or credit card company.

TIPS

Regardless of how official such a text message may appear, you should never provide personal information to anyone in response to a telephone call, email or text message because in none of those situations can you be sure that the person contacting you is legitimate. If you do receive a communication from a bank, government agency or any other person or entity that you think might have a legitimate need for personal information from you, you should call the real entity at a telephone number that you know is legitimate in order to ascertain the truth.

Banks do not call, text or email their customers asking for personal information. You should always be skeptical of anyone asking for such information. Of course, if you receive a text message that appears to come from a bank at which you do not have an account, you can be confident it is a scam. If the text message provides for you to respond to stop future texts, don't do it. Sending such a message to a scammer merely alerts them to the fact that yours is an active phone number.

Finally, although today's Scam of the day focuses on phony bank text messages, it is a good idea to sign up to receive text alerts from your bank which can be customized for your own particular needs. In regard to the text message that I received, a close examination of the sender would indicate that it came from "Citizen Bank" rather than "Citizens Bank" which is the name of the legitimate bank (and not one at which I have an account.)
