I agree. To many folks trying to scam people out there.

I love the donkey pictures. One looks just like my Jack. Well, a smaller version of Jack.
Cute!

Have a great weekend.

It always amazes me that people will willingly give out this information over the phone to someone ASKING for it! ACK! You see them on the news and even they look sheepish as they know, after the fact, it was a huge lapse in judgement. And it's sadder still that so many are out there doing their level best to take advantage of others, esp. the elderly. This is a good reminder.

Oh Di...I do so much shopping over the phone...and worry every single time I give it out...but I still do it! Of course it is me that is initiating the call..but still..it concerns me.
I'm hanging in there...what a time it has all been... thank heavens for you...and just being able to at least get on here a bit each day!
Hugs..and more hugs!

I great reminder that no one is safe from identity fraud.

Although, I didn't need the reminder about Christmas. Now, I'm freaking out!

If it is an unknown or blocked number, I don't answer the phone. Period. If they want to talk to me, they can leave a message.

The idiots are everywhere... and they breed...

Sad, but so very true! The only people I feel really feel sorry for in these kinds of situations, are the very elderly that are still too trusting and more easily fooled and those with some learning disabilities that can get very easily taken advantage of, even if they have someone trying to look out for them.

So true! Buyer beware.

If I had a dollar for everytime this has happened. I mean, I guess this is still working on people or they wouldn't try it. And sometimes, I yell at them over the phone. Can't help it.
