Hi all,
This is a global update to all my sites. I’ve installed a new feature on my www.flimflamfighter.com site. It’s a feature that actually reads the posts for you. I did make an oops in the first draft of a posting and it reads as pubic rather than public. I changed it in the post but the audio still says pubic so I hope you get a laugh out of that little oops. Other than that, I think it’s pretty kool. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Flim Flam alert!
This goes out to all my pubic blogs. I’ve just come across a new public internet scam to watch out for. The scam looks like this. A very official email tells you to look at your account and that your password may be compromised. Now it doesn’t matter what account you have these folk take the artwork and logos from the legitimate site and paste them into these emails so they look authentic. Popular site scammers are from Ebay, Your credit card company, your utility company, and your bank. Adware tracks your site visits and you are paired with matching scammer sites so the emails they send out looks like something you may have signed up for or have an account with. If you look in the email at the links and hover over the link (don’t click it!!!) you can see where the link is headed. If it’s not a destination you know then beware.
For instance, I recently got an email from Ebay and paypal asking about activity on my account and that I needed to log in and verify my password and account settings. I looked at the link they provided and the link went not to Ebay or paypal but to some .edu website. Some students in a northern college had a scam that they sent these emails fishing for passwords. The link they provide goes to a fake Ebay site that collects your information and they can access you accounts. This type of scam is called PHISHING. Like fishing for info.
Real companies like Ebay don’t do this. These institutions don’t contact people and ask for your personal info. They have it. You registered with them.
If this happens to you send the email (forward) to the phishing division (yes they will have one) at the real company. They probably have a lot of other people reporting the same thing.
Stay safe and have a great week.

Yesterday, right by us in Kennesaw, a man escaped from an officer while the officer was getting food at a waffle house. Today, the man is still at large ……. I guess that inmate really didn’t want to eat at the waffle house……………
I could picture the officer wandering around Kennesaw State University campus with some waffle house coffee and eggs calling “Here convict …convict ….. convict ……
My wife said he should call suueee … suueee….. suueee….. I said no ….That’s the call for lawyers. (Sue Me) I just thought it was funny …….

PS Hey check out my new site at www.hypnosisdemo.com/wordpress
It’s Monday and the week is just starting. We had snow Sunday here in Atlanta and it was great. I wish it had lasted longer and my son wishes they had canceled school. the snow was so heavy that it broke the windshield wiper right off the car. It just goes to show you that if you don’t like the weather in Ga. just wait an hour because it’s going to change.
