For several days calls kept coming in saying they had important information regarding my credit card. I just ignored it. I did a search on the internet using the caller I.D. number, and it was unanimous that the calls were bogus. Then the calls started occurring much more frequently, two or three times a day. Once I picked up and told the lady to stop bothering me. She called back within minutes. Turns out my C.C had been used for fraudulent charges. The C.C. company understood my reluctance to become involved with a cold call and had me call the number on the back of my C.C.. Seems it started out with a $5 charge here and a ten buck charge there. Within a couple of weeks some Nigerians were having a big ol' party at my expense. a few interviews with the fraud department, a signed statement and a new card and all was forgiven. As far as the Nigerians? I didn't even get an invite to the party. |

I didn't even get an invite to the party. A friend's trust account was looted by one of the trust company's employees who forged signatures. It took a year to straighten out and the friend never got to see the employee flogged. Somebody used my CC number to buy a ticket from Dallas to -- possibly -- London. CC company didn't charge me, but I'll never find out who did it or how he was punished. Given that you have to show a passport and the ticket number was given, it should have been possible to track the son of a bitch down, but I bet they never went to the trouble. We really need to get some sort of enjoyment out of this shit. -- Cheers, Bev =============================================== "If God had wanted us to use the metric system, Jesus would have had 10 apostles." - Jesse Helms |

In the irony of ironies, the University of Mississippi has been growing marijuana for the federal gov's little-known Medical Marijuana program the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, for decades. Each month, the federal authorities send the remaining four patients a tin canister filled with about 300 pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes. Free ! http://www.mpp.org/states/mississippi/ http://www.cannabisnews.org/united-states-cannabis-news/in-decades-old-pr ogram-uncle-sam-provides-pot/ The U.S. Constitution MANDATES that any powers not SPECIFICALLY designated to the federal level are STATES' RIGHTS issues. Hemp and its flower cannabis should be regulated by STATES to undo the conflicting laws that merely 3 corrupt men, out to line their pockets, created in the 1930's. And with most marijuana today. state lines are NOT crossed making it not a Federal case. Change is coming and the truth will prevail. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/05/us-usa-elections-marijuana-idUS KBN0IP1EB20141105 -- Karma ; what a concept! |
