Scams

Twice in the last three weeks I have received two attempted email scams. Optus is my provider for my phones and internet, yet someone is wanting me to update my financial details as they say," my last payment didn't go through ". I quickly realised this was a scam because..

I'm sick to death of the recorde phone calls: "Hi this is Nicole from the National Broadband Network............." The solar panel ones are bad enough but at least they're genuine!

Amusing in a strange way --- Government can give $1150 a fortnight to Dole recipients , but can't stop scammers ripping the unwary off for tens of millions.
Not to mention, their failure to embrace the drug scene.

some people are vulnerable Gay - my mum, who is 82 started getting spam emails and almost got taken. They just don't know what to look for and haven't experienced crime first hand

I was talking to someone the other day, who, although knowing that "Nicole" is a scam call, decided out of curiosity, to go through whatever procedure is advised, press 1 or whatever, etc, but not getting to the actual point of giving card details. That proved a major error, as they must have been able to detect that behaviour, and thereafter deluged her with calls.

macca tells me that if you were to read a passage from your best novel, they will hang up in fright.

They aren't on the for Sale lists ... You must have them in hiding .

I wrote a short story about intimate conversation , the few words may not have been enough.

Nothing more inspiring than the beauty of those real ladies , who preserve their femininity, Play the irresistable music with their high heals , and the blinding colors of their flowing dress.
They make it so hard for the audience .

Almost suicide, to keep being a fighter pilot over the length of WW2. Some German pilots flew missions virtually every day of the war, and survived, but they were a tiny minority. Quite a few survived into 1945, when they were overwhelmed by superior forces, I think I saw where of 22,000 fighter pilots fielded by Germany, less than 1000 survived the war. Soviet losses would also have been drastic. The Americans kept their pilots to a restricted number of missions. The losses of RAF Bomber Command, equated to air crew having only 50% chance of surviving the 30 missions they were limited to. The Normandie Squadron suffered high attrition, only 3 of the original 20 survived. When asked how he managed to last the war through to the end, on of those pilots said there was only one reason, the design staff at Yakovlev, the source of their redoubtable Yak-3 fighter planes.

Watching this now. Really well done and what a story.

Reminds me of a little known Roald Dahl book, Over to You - great short stories about his time as a RAF pilot.
