Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Someone tried to scam me today

Someone called me up today, and told me that they were from my electrical power company, and that they were going to shut off the power today at 5:00.

He said we had sent in the payment, but they were unable to process the check because their systems were down and they needed a payment in cash only. I was to go to a store, get a PayPal card, and call them back for instructions.

So I played along, pretending to go to the store. They called me several times, last time with a "supervisor." I made a quick check with my real company to make sure that everything was all right, and then I engaged the "supervisor" long enough to confirm that she was indeed in Dallas, or at least knew it well.

Didn't call the number though. I thought maybe they had a way of routing the call out to some other country with huge tolls.

Not sure. I'm passing the information on to the AG. It was kind of fun when I let the "supervisor" know what I had done. She wasn't very nice after that.

Be warned.

We have had computer scams going here in Ontario.  Some one saying we have a problem with our computer.  I called the Canadian Fraud line and was told to answer "What Computer?" I can do that as I have 2 so the question is what computer are you talking about.  I get their number and forward it to the fraud ppl.
