-that one told me that they had taken control of my computer's camera and had photos of me doing personal things and for a payment they would delete the video. Only problem was that my computer did not have a camera.- Are you sure?
Microsoft Edge; it's a good title, they have some sharp scalpels that seem to be able to follow every minute of your day. If I watch a vid about mechanics, I get feeds(I guess that what they are) about tools. The specific tools I looked at. They watch your every move. Maybe not visually but everything else. I never want one of those little cameras. I might get a suggestion about fixing my nose.
I got the McAfee storm a while back. They threatened to turn off things I didn't have.
Speaking of computer protection, I decided on Norton. I guess they are doing their job, but occasionally they tell me I need this or that(at a cost). Or they tell me that 1500 bad things happened on my computer. I'm paying you guys to take care of this, don't tell me about it.
I think I'm pretty astute about scams but I did get one from Chase Bank(I'll get an ad for this now). Some kind of threat and it was so accurately written I stopped and looked. I knew it was BS but I drove over to the bank. The lady told me it was BS and I was the second person that day who had been there about it.
Chase Bank. Just yesterday I was there to get a cashiers check for something I bought. The whole bank(nation wide) had no Wi-Fi. I wonder if they had to pay someone off to get it up again. I hope not. I kind of knew that this kind of thing was going to happen way back when I was in college and the internet first hit the road. I can conjure up some criminal ideas (like most of us) but I'm too lazy for that.
"Crime" is kind of hard to pin down anymore. All these scammers consider it 'their job' I don't think there's a moments remorse about it. The homeless and the bums and others are "allowed" a certain amount of theft these days. I don't know how that works. Ma and Pa's little store couldn't tolerate that, but industry can write it off somehow. I'm sure there's a line on the form about it.
If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
