RUBY TUESDAY - SEEING RED, AS IN ANGER

Currently, I am the innocent victim, along with my friends, family and next-of-kin, of a money-making scam that could, and can happen to anyone, who uses the emailing and internet systems.

We are all led to believe that the companies offering their services are covering their asses (and ours) against fraudulent hijackers, but, alas, even with the great resources at their disposal they, too, become victims, as the smaller Madoff creeps find ways to trick their way to wealth.

These companies do their best, relying on us, the users, to do our best, to remember the do's and dont's of avoiding the pickle in which I find myself today. Stay tuned, as my story unfolds, as every effort is being made to thwart the creeps who are perpetrating this particular scam.

To Daryl and friends, I would love to reply to comments personally, but my ability to do so has been blocked!

  3. I'm a little confused about what happened? Your shot definitley gets the anger across. I'll have to check back here to finish the story. I'm very curious about what happened.

  4. I've been wondering how you were faring! I actually phoned our Australian police to see if there might be some link to London, where the scam originated, so that someone could pounce on the site of the telephone number right there and then. They said they'd 'make a note of it' and 'see what they could do' but I doubt whether anything eventuated.There are such horrendous internet crimes that yours, Margaret, is, I hate to say, small fry! Keep us posted.

  5. Yes, this was very weird.
    I guessed that it started in England since they do not have the British pound sign on American computers.
    You must be very upset.
    This is awful.
    You probably have to change your email completely.
    Very upsetting. Poor you.

  7. Margaret has asked me to apologise for her non-participation at the moment. Evidently she cannot get into her blog either! What a disaster!

  8. This is all very tantalising. Hope it gets sorted, whatever it is!

About Me

My photo
JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future. I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read. Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested. The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
