Listening to the Voices in My Head

I got a text message from my bank, saying there was an odd charge to my credit card, and did I recognize it.

I looked, then searched, and nope, no clue, so I texted back NO.

Got a phone call from the bank, three step verification, so it was legit. It seems that the unknown charge was a 'feeler' to see if the account was active, because almost immediately afterward, there was a $1000+ charge on my card for a hotel in Paris, France!

Since I'm nowhere near Paris, that was squashed/denied, my current card canceled (just got through shredding it, too, just to be safe), and a new one will be issued.

And to the fuqwit that tried to commit fraud, I hope they catch your sorry ass.

All these snake oil salesman, selling miracle oils, lotions, ungents that purport to make scars and stretch marks go away.

Just have this to say: EMOLIENTS WILL NOT MAKE SCARRED SKIN VANISH! Whether they are old cut scars, burn scars, or stretch mark scars (yes, they are scars). Many of them will fade with time. And chances are no one really gives a crap if you have them.

And these frauds preying on insecurities, and the the people that keep forgetting "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
