At one time my statement would labeled paranoia, but in today's world it's food for thought🤔 It was proven that pilot's who flew the planes into the Twin Towers were educated here in the US...a Mensa member is not required to realize the United States of America is under attack in various acts of crime..."We the People" have been I infiltrated...just as Nikita Kruechev warned decades ago!!! Is our government unaware? Certainly not, but are "We the People" being alerted by OUR government? Quite the opposite... Food for thought people...Kruechev said, "we will destroy you from within!" I was only a child, but his warning was clear & rings clear...my concern is lack of protection from our own government🤔 Power grids being attacked, cell service interruptions, USPS mass theft, electronic pymts being intercepted...no need to site further🙄 We are being infiltrated, our government is deliberate in this immigrant action while persecuting the citizens/taxpayers of the US. All the while this charade of an administration stands b4 us with their ignored "word salad" stupidity! These two are presenting as nothing short of mental patients! I've personally never trusted Harris nor Biden, but this puppet show is with purpose...while they become mega wealthy & oppression/theft/ruination is running rampant...while the "rats" are jumping ship🤥 Now call me crazy while watching your investments sink lower each day....

Several years ago, my mail (a utilities check payment) got stolen after I deposited it in one of those blue mail boxes. The box was right in front of the Post Office. The bill didn't get paid and I had to go to the bank and cancel the check. It messed up things for me for a while but eventually got sorted out. Ever since, always deposit my checks inside the post office and haven't had any problems since. However, just recently, I did have a problem submitting my IRS forms to the IRS through the post office. I had them put the postage on the letter but, days later, it was returned to me....making my tax forms late to the IRS. I took the letter back to that post office and complained. The post office lady looked very puzzled as to why my letter had been returned to me and she re-sent it again. Haven't heard from the IRS so I guess all is ok. Another time, I ordered new checks from the bank...when they arrived, I was missing one box of checks. I went to the bank to stop payment on those checks, but then days later, the box was delivered and I went back to the bank to allow those checks to be used.

That is the only way I will mail anything, like bill payments, because before, I made bill payments by dropping them in the blue boxes right in front of the post office. It messed up by account at the bank and had to cancel the checks. Anyone can drive up to those boxes and reach in through the slot with some kind of grabber and pull the mail out. NOT SAFE! It is worth it to wait for the Post Office to open and deposit your mail inside!.

Had to unplug the xbox, it kept turning on when we were not using it. We thought the dogs were waking us late in the night. We put a camera in the room with the dogs & noticed that just before the dogs woke in the night the light on the xbox came on as if we had pushed the on button on the upper right on the front of the box. Then there was a loud noise which caused the dogs to bark.

People get an inkless pen for like $10 on ebay/amazon (some people call them everlasting pens there made of metal). They literally cant be erased or at least not without some really niche equipment and they would have to know what it was to begin with. Problem solved. Also as a Mailman I can tell you announcing to the world with a flag on a box that there is outgoing mail which is almost always people paying bills (and a few cards) is not the brightest idea. Take the 5 mins to take it to the PO if has a check in it. Nothing we can do to stop it.

This is why I moved off grid 3 years ago before covid I've had enough. Moving off grid is true Freedom lower overhead more money saved and keep going on. I have several generators but the newest one I bought is Bluetooth. I got to thinking government can shut it down just like every other utility out there water, natural gas, electricity, credit cards, , debit cards and more. Most everything will be Bluetooth from now on so it can all be controlled. This is why I bought in 2019 a non-electric bicycle which is a hybrid bicycle which is gasoline four stroke powered.

But I think they already got his information. I think there’s supposed to be a number you can report if people have your Social Security number and stuff but I can’t remember the number. I’ll have to look it up. that way you can report your identity being stolen, and the government can give you a new Social Security number.

Every time I have a fraud event at our bank, they make good on the fraud (helps if you find it right away!) and then I have an extra layer of fraud prevention added to my account, with more fees, of course. But with the rampant fraud, I know that's expensive for banks. You go through a couple fraud events, you learn to check your account regularly, like more than once a day.

This seems to be a commercial instead of a news report...and its in the direction of using credit cards online or cryptocurrency. But here's a solution when you're using a check: A company needs to build a perforator for the dollar amount which you are writing so no one else can erase your amount and then right over their own quantity. Also if there were to be a perforator that would type out the name of the person for which you are writing the check to.... Then who coyld steal your check? they can't manipulate it because there's perforations for the dollar amount you specified. But you will never see a machine that perforates with that kind of Solution to the problem Of forging checks, Because the banks are in on it they can always write-off What they are going to lose.

You sound like a German engineer. And I totally get your instinct to look for the angle whenever anyone is giving you a heads up on someone else's scam. I don't think this is necessarily that, if anything it's advocating for more caution using new currency platforms and automated online banking practices. As any governmental historian such as yourself knows, the biggest scams are run off apt social engineering and the best business model is one off solidly engineered products. Problem is people will buy crap sold to them with a good line and a smile. Stupid humans and our innate desire to create connections with other people. 😉

The lock on my Mail box wasn’t broken. But the thief had my new drivers license and bank card. It was a group out of Dallas Texas that are a known theft ring that targeted my mailbox alone in Round Rock Texas. I think my mail lady was involved. But she won’t admit it. She said she was off that day. How convenient. One of the women were caught with my drivers license in Dallas, while driving a stolen car. But because she couldn’t use my drivers license for anything other than renting a hotel room, no charges were filed for anything other than auto theft. They had about 30 different drivers license and IDs and stuff that they had stolen from peoples mailboxes. 🤔

Not always. Some billers either do not accept credit card payments or charge the customer for the credit card interchange fee in addition to the amount billed. For example, federal and state governments are required by law to have the taxpayer pay the interchange fee in addition to the tax due. Some small businesses do the same (e.g., HVAC firms, electrical contractors, etc.), so people tend to pay by check. In addition, since Covid some small retailers and restaurants now charge customers explicitly for the credit card interchange fee in addition to their purchase amount.

It's about $5 bucks, you get 2 in one packaging. Also, mailboxes sitting outside are slowingly being removed by post office. To control the problem, you have to go into post office to drop your mail now. It's silver and black color, look for 2 Pentel pen make sure it says prevention of check washing, because Pentel makes other pen but it does not do the same thing, nit for same purpose.

PO 77279. Had my DL from DMV disappear twice after the post office took picture notification that the envelopes came to the PO Box. One package from a family member disappeared at Christmas two years ago, again after getting notified that it reached the Post office. Also, I was getting christmas and birthday cards there. As of two years ago, no personal cards ever get to my box from people who sent them. This year I received two. First time in two years any came through. Still missing other cards from people who sent. When I complain, the staff just tell me they won't be found and complaining is useless. Another time, they told me I had to complain to a certain person, who is never in the station to complain to. We have also had our boxes broken into and the station never told us. I know the boxes outside had been broken into and they stopped allowing mail to be dropped into outside boxes a couple years ago. I do not trust the employees at my station as anything that could have money, gifts, or credit cards, or ID disappears after I get pictures the station received them.

If the company adjusts his thermostat, he should run it at 76 degrees, then when they raise the temp 4 degrees it will be at 80 like he wants.

What's nice about the indiscriminate nature of scammers is that they taught my kids young in Roblox that nothing but love and smiles are free. Whenever anything looks fishy we have a family saying we sing out in unison. "Free Robux, total scam". Or as it pertains to free kids magazine subscriptions for the low, low price of your parents email, phone, cc #, address and sanity. "Free bag and tote!!". Everyone is susceptible to scams, no one should feel ashamed to educate others with their story. The only idiots are the ones who let the scam continue for fear of shame in telling others what's up. Older people don't get scammed more bc they are stupid. They get targeted more bc they actually have liquid cash. That means you've worked hard and smartly saved, don't ever be embarrassed to say you got targeted for having a positive balance. You can't scam the poor, that's what the lottery and casinos are for. To scam people with only a buck in their pocket and hope.

Omg! I seen a video of a postal service worker being vishously being attacked but i had no idea why ? I assumed it was a private personal problem. Now i know. Whats worse is how the government postsl service is handeling it. For two years or more ive had hell eith geitting my mail. I thought it was eather a prejudice postal worker or because the area has a LOT more gentrification going on with lots more new residences

I actually got a job offer on InDeed. Never met anyone on FaceTime or in person. After answering the phone and talking to the Office Manager, she hired me on the spot and an acceptant agreement was sent to me within minutes. They did not even know what I looked like. I ended up not working there.
