By now, all people, young and old, know better than to give their credit card information out over the phone. The thieves, knowing that this well has gone dry, have a new approach, which has them conning you into giving out the card security number. Although this approach has been around for at least seven years now, it’s new to me, so I’m passing it on to you. Check it out and be aware.

Just the word ‘scam’ gives me the heebie jeebies, which gets me to say a few words about the DO NOT CALL list. It turns out to be useless and impotent since it does not cover uninvited pre-recorded calls and texts message to cell phones.
My complaints to the Do Not Call web site – have gone unanswered. My complaints to my cell phone carrier fall on deaf ears and they tell me they cannot block text messages unless I cancel that feature, which I now have had to do.
