The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ngauger]

Good morning all. It's been just about on target here as far as temps go, but wait, there's more.... (sounds like a late night commercial on TV). Yes, we're once again headed into the triple-digits come Thursday.

I got this letter from the Bank of American yesterday. Basically it says, "Dear Donald F. Day, we can't find some information on Donald F. Day, so please furnish us the following missing information:

• Full first name,
  
• Middle initial
  
• Full last name"

Uh, gee, I really don't think I'm going to answer that. It could be some sort of scam, but if the Bank of America is that dumb, I don't think I want to deal with them anyway....

I think the banking systems have gotten "hit" again... I received an e-mail (Comcast account) asking me to verify my Bank of America account activity.

First, I have not had an account with them in over 10 years and second, I never signed in, online, at all with them. So what is there to verify??

Then in the regular mail, both the wife & I received letters from Citizens Bank saying that since we have been loyal customers, we are eligible for a second mortgage at almost 1%. No issues there except that we have never, ever dealt with Citizens Bank. So both letters are now in a hundred or so pieces in the shredder bin.

2 days ago I received an e-mail from the bank I actually deal with (TD) and it said that my information "may have been compromised. Please sign in and change your password". I hovered the mouse pointer over the link and the address that showed up, was some random set of letters not even close to "tdbank". Oh well... Deleted!!!!

So, I'm thinking that the banks have been hacked and some set of ignoramuses are trying to scam people.

Now another issue I have, is that, I've been trying to find assisted living for my brother who has epilepsy. My e-mail is "out there" as the contact. Well, after 2 months, I'm getting about 10 e-mails a month for; walk in tubs, dentures, elderly couples sites, reverse mortgages etc. etc. etc.....
