Scammers are ruining everything that was nice and convenient these days... it’s just ridiculous?When will I learn that the ads on the side bars on FaceBook don't speak the truth? Last week there was one for senior citizens. It was a 'club' for coupons for discounts at many of the same stores where I shop. You sign up and they send you a card (like a credit card) that you show when you shop, and you get discounts on your purchase. So I went to their site and started to sign up. It was supposed to be $2.99 to initiate the membership, so you had to give your credit card. I got to the credit card entry page and after I filled out the info it came back that it wasn't accepted. I tried again, thinking maybe I typed the card number incorrectly, but no, not accepted. I said oh well, and went out and about my business. Next time I looked at my email there was one from the credit card company asking if I made a purchase for $73.50 for some sort of discount travel something or other. I called the credit card company and explained that wasn't my purchase and we agreed the card should be cancelled. I've been checking my account online and no more charges have been made. In the meantime, that coupon company has sent me two emails asking if I still wanted to complete my application for the coupons. So now I'm waiting for a new credit card to be mailed to me. I think I'm going to 'un-follow' everyone on FB and quit looking at it. Those darned side bar ads are too easy to fall for.
But on the bright side, at the beginning of last week I filled out and sent in (electronically) my income tax return form. And this a.m. when I checked my bank account, I have received both the federal and the state tax returns in my account. That only took a week. That's never happened to me in all the years I've been filing a tax return. Probably because my income hasn't changed in years and the amount of my return is exactly the same every year.
(Can you tell I'm bored this morning?)
