A very interesting thing happened today. Not to me but to my fiancé's son who lives in Florida. He called his mom and told her that this morning he received a UPS delivery of a letter. The letter contained a check made out to his name for the amount of $1895 and issued by Citibank.
There was no explanation attached and he asked his mom if she knew what that money was. She didn't have any idea and he didn't have any idea. So, he called Citibank.
The bank told him not to deposit the money.
According to the bank this is a new type of scam where they send money to people and when the check is deposited the scammers can get access to the bank account, ss number and every other sensitive and personal information.
Now this message is to the world. Whenever anybody get a check like this and no matter how inviting and attractive it looks do not deposit it!
Something else.
Today we went out to Manhattan Beach to my fiancé's apartment. She used to have Verizon TV and internet service but recently she cancelled it. Verizon sent a box in which she had to return some items that belong to Verizon. That was what we were putting together.
Verizon sent a list of what needed to be returned. I wished they would have spoken English. I had to call Verizon to find out what really needed to be returned. They make these lists for ordinary people but the descriptions are very high tech.
They all assume that the world speak their language. And when you don't they treat you like an idiot.
