Miss you, Daddy. Always.

Someone sent me money! Sadly,it’s just another scam. June 6, 2013
Hi, all. Summer vacation started today for teen boy and unbelievably I haven’t heard whines of boredom yet. Yes, they do whine in the teen years on occasion, but it’s no like a toddler or adolescent whine. I wonder how long that will last. Oy.
Anyway, you know what happens in summer (and pretty much all year) – the scammers come out with seasonal scam messages. Get money for your vacation, quick and easy job with lots of free time, get paid to receive and ship packages in your spare time, etc. This week I’ve received a few emails along the lines of the one I’m about to share. The difference is that this one has no themed message or job offer. Free money?! It would be nice if it was real.

Do your part to keep her strong. Love your corner of the world and inspire others to love theirs. The more who care, the better.
Wow, the abundance of spam! April 21, 2013
It amazes me how much spam I receive in a week. On this blog alone I received 37 spam comments. And my spam inbox sees an average of 100 messages a week. I wish it was more interesting or varied so I could share, but they’re all the same messages from different people.
‘You’ve won the British Lottery’
‘hey there, sexy’
‘grow your penis’
‘your fourth cousin once removed died and left you millions’
And it goes on from there. See, boring.
I’ll post the new and different ones when they come. Those and ones that just set my teeth on edge.
Until next time, peace.
Same old scam – lots of Fed Ex shipping confirmation messages February 21, 2013
Seriously? There are times I’ve forgotten that something is on the way, but not so much that I’d click a random link or download an attachment in a message from someone I don’t know. It’s laughable, bu at the same time kinda sad. People sill click and download randomly.
Be on the lookout for subject lines such as
- Tracking Detail (with or without a tracking number)
- Order shipped
- Order Detail
- Tracking Information
This is an easy scam to avoid. If you placed an order, make a note of the email address of the seller. Do not click random links when you do not recognize the email address or name of the sender. An important bit to remember is that FedEx tracking does not involve downloading anything. An official FedEx shipment notification does not come from JoeSchmo@randomaddy.com.
And on that note, I need to go track Ebay and Amazon shipments. Until next time, peace.
The home office February 8, 2013
This is what it looks like for me today. I’m going to get some Vitamin D before crawling back into bed to fight off this ick.
I love my house and neighborhood. Piece of paradise in my corner of the world.
Be safe, especially those of you facing the nasty storms. Peace.
