I’m so damn tired of scammers contacting me. Usually they’re extremely obvious and I just block them. The ones that can actually hold a conversation and feign interest in me are harder to ignore. I don’t have friends, at least not friends that I can talk to in person and spend time with. While these scammers are fishing for my info it also feels like they’re preying on my loneliness.

Hard to believe scammers are still praying on empaths and the vulnerable… we need to be more sceptical when it comes to anything out of the ordinary >>>

Sleepy Sunday

I got a decent night’s sleep last night. Why am I super tired today? I haven’t done anything unusual. I did my daily exercise BS and I’ve done a few errands around the house, but that’s all. Why am I exhausted? Is it because I am just old? Could be.

Someone on Threads asked for musical people to share some music. 99.999% of the time I ignore engagement bait posts like that but today I shared a song… and I think I accidentally shared an album. Oh well. I guess being super tired puts me into a kind of musical glutton for punishment mode. I just don’t know if the punishment I expect is in the form of bad criticisms or just the chirping of crickets as the universe ignores my shitty songs. Probably the latter. Oh well.

Did I mention that it was snowing a few minutes ago? It was just a tiny flurry but it fits the mood of the day. The mood being, Blah.

I wonder if a few seconds after publishing this post I am going to get a long comment from a user whose name and photo imply that they are female while the long comment is something that is most probably written by some sort of AI program. It’s happened on the last few posts I’ve published that had more than just a sentence or two of text. You know, something that ChatGPT could sink its virtual teeth into. We’ll see in a minute. Maybe writing about it will let them know that I am on to them and they’ll lay off. Doubtful.

Oh look at that, I just got a text from bank of america saying that my account has been disabled due to suspicious activity. I had better call them and give them all of my personal information, even though I don’t have a fucking account with fucking bank of america. Oh well.

Today is the day I scared off a scam text by pretending to be Laszlo from #WWDITS pretending to be #JackieDaytona.

Did you know that in the UK the National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre has a central number you can report #scam texts to? Just forward them for free to 7726, then reply with the number that sent you the message. Phone providers *should* then investigate and arrange to block the number if it’s malicious. #Fraud #ScamTexts
Getting several scam text messages a day over the weekend. Far more than usual. My phone number must have gotten onto a new list somewhere!
