Wow, the scammers are getting good.

I found this in my junk mail folder.  Note that the most obvious clue for a phishing attempt - a bad domain name - is absent.  There is no obvious clue that this isn't legitimately an email from eBay, other than I've never gotten an email from confirmation@ebay.com before. It did make me go log in to eBay to see if something was amiss there.

But God help the poor souls who are duped into clicking the links.  It's a reminder to all - never click links, even if they look legitimate.  If it seems like a legitimate message from an online presence you utilize, open up your browser and manually visit the site to see if anything looks amiss.

Indeed. I am constantly reminding the family not to click. I feel especially sorry for the elderly.

Be careful, Deano!

ha. I get those all the time and not always in my junk folder.

I'd suggest everyone get proactive about checking on your various pots of money every day.  We've been at Cyber-War  with Russia, China, and North Korea for years.  But now we're in an economic war with Russia, and I expect there will be a major uptick in state-sponsored Russian hacking.

Sound advice, feels like we'll all be a victim at one point or another, it's just a matter of time.

Looks like the Browns are out of the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. Phew.

they can't take what I don't have. already overdrawn at the bank $24 with 6 days to go. maybe if the Russians saw my bank account might put money into it not take it out.

Damn you and that picture. I lost count three times.

Fifteen.

What picture, the pistachio muffin?       

No, the Irish Buns.

Let's just agree they both looked delicious.

Difference is I ate the muffin this morning....

Plus the other two will try to slide in on the coattails while our eyes are on the Russians.

But it would be rubles so you'd be no better off.

great time at golf yesterday. the Ranger had us go off early to get ahead of a large group that would have been ahead of us. we were on the green at #1 when we saw them. we hit our tee shots on #2 when they came up behind us. as we were starting #3 they were waiting on us. I turned and said "good morning guys". no response. after #3 we never saw them again. the Ranger came out and said they were making up for a rain out the other day and had already played the first two holes previously. ? why the heck they didn't start all over the Ranger had no idea. I am really hitying my drives long, 3 wood too but apparently getting a draw with it out of my swing to get use to. chipping with my 7 iron was spot on and holed out 3 times. could not hit a putt to save my life. the Ranger even let us play the back 9 with no charge and we tipped him well. it was a great day with beautiful weather.

Sounds like a good time all around. Well, except maybe for the guys stuck behind you for a bit. Lol

at first we kind of felt rushed, but the Ranger sent us out early to avoid them. not like playing best ball is slow. sheesh.

Feeling rushed is the worst.

I don't miss that part of golfing at all. Near me, you are always rushed because it is so difficult AND EXPENSIVE to get a tee time.

One of the reasons my dad and I like to get out first thing in the morning. No one in front of us and usually no one behind us.
