Hello...Good Morning!


My name is Jacky and today has not started out all that great already. I had someone try and steal money from my checking account on Thurday of last week. The bank was diligent enough to put a stop payment on this transaction. I also check my account every day, so this how I discovered something was awry, when I could not log into my account. I am still currently waiting for a new check card etc and it will be forever because of the holiday weekend. I have not had access to my money since then either. The case is still under fraud investigation and I am FRUSTRATED. I had to open all new accounts and I had to flag all my credit cards. I wish that there were not so many dishonest people in this world! Also, I had to talk to a fraud investigator because they also flag your credit bureaus for suspicious activities. They have told me to be on the lookout for Emails that appear just as the logo and seem very legitimate. I bank with wachovia and they say this is how they "fish" into your account. This was not my case, but I am warning that if you ever see emails from your bank NEVER open them, they usually also contain viruses too that are left on your computer for their future stealing and disruption of your important files and money. There is almost none of my friends that fraud has not affected! Its good to run a manual scan on your computer for peace of mind! This is my warning to all that this can happen to you and to be careful!
School for me starts Wednesday. I have two labs and three online classes. I actually chose a campus that is farther away because of the way the schedule went and the teachers, so more gas to burn! I know I am getting old because I watch gas prices and the weather everyday! I am only thirty-four! Here is an image of my labrador when he had tail surgery and had to wear the lampshade! Man did he knock stuff over! He brightens my otherwise stressful day just looking at that picture... Have a great day all!

That is a bad day!!! . . . and your poor dog!

I'm always getting emails from pay pal.

The same scam is running with that address.

I really hate those scamming e-mails. Sometimes I wonder if we really are safer with online banking.

I can imagine what your dog went through carrying that thing around his neck. I hope he is okay now. I am very careful about the emails that I open. Once I do not recognize the name, I delete it immediately. I do not even give it a second thought.
