These 2 Things Are What A Con Needs To Steal Your Identity
|

Some good info from an article I read online. The date of birth info is a “thing” here and this is why mine is not given here.
Frank Abagnale, a former con artist famously portrayed Leonardo DiCaprio in the film Catch If You Can, is out with a new book aptly entitled “Scam If You Can: Simple Strategies to Outsmart Today’s Rip-off Artists.” In it, he highlights the tricks today’s scammers and con artists are using to commit .
“If you’re on Facebook, here’s the only things you have to remember — never tell anybody where you were born or your date of birth,” Frank Abagnale told Yahoo Finance. “'s 98% of stealing your identity. I only need to know those two pieces of information.”
In the book, Abagnale outlines five rules of how to protect yourself from today’s scammers:
1. Protect your identity. Tip: Put your guard up as soon as someone says you need to share your personal or information with them right now — stop and verify the person you’re dealing with.
2. Secure your finances. Tip: Do not trust someone who tells you they always beat the market or can guarantee a certain level of returns. An honest and qualified planner cannot guarantee investment results.
3. Preserve your digital presence. Tip: Do not keep all your personal information in the cloud or on one laptop. Keep printouts of important documents in a lockbox or upload files to an external hard drive.
4. Safeguard your home and hearth. Tip: If you do not recognize the calling you, do not pick it up. If you do pick up the call be sure to remain tight lipped as the con caller may be recording the call, and saying nothing usually results in the caller hanging up.
5. Shelter your heart. Tip: Verify the person you are speaking with on a dating app is real. Search online to confirm claims of location, employment, and photos.
One surprising thing Abagnale notes in his book is the uselessness of passwords. He says passwords were originally created to secure individual time spent on computers used multiple people, not to protect personal information or security needs.
“Passwords are for tree-houses ... If you look at ransomware breaches, malware, [breaches] all come from passwords. So I’ve been a big advocator of eliminating passwords” Abagnale said. “I think you’re starting to see more and more companies, retailers, merchants, eliminating the need for passwords. So in the next two or three years, I don’t think we’ll be using passwords”.
Abagnale said scamming and are “4,000 times easier than when I did it 50 years ago because I didn’t have all the technology exists today, the forms of communication exist today.”

Thoughts on August -50

This is sort of a follow-up on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood post. Still haven’t seen “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” but it is on -do list – perhaps when I next connect with some woman here. Anyway . . .
On another site I’m on (the garage/tools site I’ve mentioned a few times) there was a non-tools discussion about August 1969 and Woodstock – the music fest not the lil yellow bird. is what I posted there, with a updates, I figured since I wrote it I would post it here too.
In August ‘69 I was and a month from becoming . I lived on the west side of Los Angeles. Myself and a neighborhood went a month long camp (mid-July mid- August) on Catalina Island. We were “long hairs” and guess is the “fossils” needed a vacation from us  . We had not heard about Woodstock at this point.
We were in the older of there and were mischievous at best. thing we did was rekindle an old beach campfire story, told over a few nights to the younger , about a seaweed monster that came out at night from “Bird Rock” which was just off the beach. It supposedly sucked the brains out of and goats. There was a goat skull with a hole through the top to support this BS story. The next night a guys were gonna cover themselves in seaweed, on the other’s shoulders, and appear walk of the water as the story continued. But the next day we were told in no uncertain terms that the story was done.
I/we later found the Tate–LaBianca murders had happened on August 8–9. It was not far from where some of our mates and friends lived up Benedict Canyon. It was just about the thing on the news, even more than Vietnam. All of L.A. was pretty scared and parents had evidently talked the counselors and make sure all was OK.
No word about Woodstock (August –) sometime later. That is the music of early life so I would have loved have been there.

Finding A Hook Up And A Match

WARNING: This is NOT safe sex. But it my explain an number of things that happen on sex sites. 
WOODBURY, N.J. – A New Jersey woman is accused of torching a man's house after he invited her over for late-night sex, then fell asleep and did not hear her at his door.
Taija Russell, 29, was arrested Tuesday in connection with a fire that destroyed a home earlier this month, said Woodbury police. Police accuse Russell of sending a series of angry texts to the slumbering resident, then buying lighter fluid, matches and a lighter at a nearby gas station around 4 a.m. on Aug. 4. She's accused of setting a fire outside the sole doorway to the man's home, then fleeing as the flames spread, according to a probable cause statement for her arrest.
The victim, whose name has not been released, awoke around 4:30 a.m. to find flames blocking the exit from his smoke-filled residence. He escaped by physically removing a window frame and climbing through the opening, police said. The man, described as "covered head to toe in soot and ash" and wearing only a T-shirt, then ran around two-tenths of a mile to Woodbury's police station. He "frantically" announced that his residence was burning, then ran back to his home, says the probable cause statement. The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and first- and second-degree burns, according to police.
Firefighters from Woodbury and surrounding towns responded to the blaze, saving the man's dog. "The residence and its contents were completely destroyed," says the probable cause statement, which notes the fire was determined to be arson.
Police then learned of texts sent by Russell to the victim, which included "I see you wanna die" and "You wasted my money to come out here." The victim's phone also showed eight missed calls, according to the probable cause statement.
The man told police he'd invited Russell to his home "and stated that she was a 'side chick' whom he had been having a sexual relationship with," it adds.
Video surveillance showed the woman outside the man's house "just prior to the fire" and making a purchase at a Conoco station on Mantua Pike, police said.
Russell is being held on charges of attempted murder, aggravated arson, endangering and criminal mischief.
The incident marked the second time this year a woman was accused of setting fire to a man's home in Woodbury. A city woman, 33-year-old Tasia Young, was charged with aggravated arson and other crimes in April.
According to police, Young confessed she engaged in a threesome at her boyfriend's duplex, then became angry when he sent her home and the other woman stayed.

Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
|
Posted:Jul 29, 2019 6:32 pm
Last Updated:Aug 28, 2019 6:47 pm 9203 Views

I’m curious as whether anyone here has seen “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” and what they thought of it.
One reason I’m curious is I “grew up” in and around there. Once Upon a Time… I was born in Hollywood at a hospital, a bright blue building, which is now semi-infamous as being owned by a “religious” cult. When I was older, in the 70s and 80s, I worked in and around the movie business. I had a jobs that were part of the movie industry. Also, when I was between jobs I would work with a friend did credits work (as a gopher) and/or as an extra (relatively easy and food). I am in the credits of a Dolph Lundgren movie (The Punisher). I am disguised (a hood covers my – I’m not pretty enough for Hollywood) as a thief and I die within the first minute of the movie as the credits begin. I’m also in the crowds in “Electric Horseman” and “The Fan”. Anyhow . . .
The other reason I’m curious is I’m not a fan of Quentin Tarantino. The movies I’ve seen of his are a bit too bloody for my tastes. However, if this isn’t bloody I may check it .

A Kidnapping And An Imposter

Yes you it read right. There has been *pause effect* . . .
A Kidnapping And An Imposter *emoji effect*
Most every Sunday a citizen of this Blog-o-sphere gives us a Musical Quiz consisting of ten (1.0) questions based on his vast knowledge of ROCK and ROLL music. citizen4722 He then forces us to wait a week to find out if our paltry answers are correct. But *pause for effect* . . .
This week we have been duped by a suspicious duplicate of citizen *dun, dun dun* ( a suspenseful and musical interlude). This week we were quizzed on Classical Music. Not "classic rock" like Led Zeppelin, or the Eagles but *pause for effect* . . . Chopin, Brahms, Sir Edward Elgar (no relation to Edgar Winter) and other long haired musicians. Clearly NOT a quiz Citizen would post up. *emoji for effect*
Obviously Citizen has been kidnapped and a dastardly imposter has taken his place. *dun, dun dun* but *pause for effect* . . . As yet no ransom blog has been posted, but *pause for effect* . . . stay tuned *rim shot* for effect . . .

No not on me, or in the time space continuum, in the fabric of A*F*F. I’ll ‘splain.
I opened my email this AM and found a message titled “Precious One”. OK, so it’s obviously for me 
It is from a address and wasn’t caught by the spam filter. The message read . . .
“My name is Faustina 35 single with no and never been married. Im 5.7 ft 5 Ibs. I will like us to be friends. I got your email address from AdultFriendFinder.com while reading the little you had to say about your self. Below are some pics of me and i hope you like them. I will be awaiting your response.”
There are a few things of interest here:
1. She claims to have gotten my email address from AdultFriendFinder. This is interesting because my address is not posted where any member can see it. So how, and / or why, did she get it?
2. There is none of the usual formatting or look of a typical A*F*F marketing message.
3. While the spelling and grammar are a bit off it isn’t as bad as the scam messages usually are.
So what is this? Yes it is most likely some sort of spam/scam. But from whom and more importantly . . . how did they actually get my address? I didn’t contact this person as she is outside my general age range. My first thought is they got my address from one of several data breaches over the past 5 years or so since I’ve been here.
My first question to y’all is have any of you recently received an unsolicited offsite message similar to this?

Desperately Seeking . . .
|
Posted:Jun 2, 2019 4:24 pm
Last Updated:Jun 4, 2019 6:47 pm 34261 Views

No, not Susan, c’mon this is a sex site why would I consider finding a woman for sex HERE? Sheesh! And yeah, it really isn’t desperately either. It’s more like a strong want, a very strong want . . . hummm . . . does kinda sound like sex huh?  Ahhh, but it is seeking. Annnywhose . . .
My post regarding seeking a race car You Dont Call You Dont Write got a bit more response than I thought it might. Very cool y’all. In fact it generated at least 1 potential lead. Leads are helpful because finding what I want hasn’t been easy. I’ve scoured the race car classifieds (very few suitable already built cars), and Craigslist (mostly for a car I would build from scratch) not many in AZ. I have come across 2 built cars so far, but far away (PA and IA), I wouldn’t mind a road trip. Careful AFFers I may be comin your way .
That is the PA car - it got sold. Ad was asking $1000, damn good deal.
The IA car’s owners are divorcing, he cheated and ran off with the other (hummm, sex again). They are asking $2000 but I think I could get it for $00. There is a car in Phoenix, a Chevy Cobalt, the price is about right ($00) for what it is, but it would be a build from scratch – that is a lot of work, and time.
The Cobalt
Part of the problem with finding a good build candidate is I have rules to meet and then my own preferences. Hummm, that kinda sounds like . . . sex don’t it? Rules wise it has to be: ‘front wheel drive (FWD not FW , a “compact” car, 4 cylinder engine. No station wagons, convertibles or 2 seat sport cars allowed, no Honda CRX’. Then, ‘no turbo charged, super charged, rotary engines, or engines utilizing variable cam-timing’. This eliminates a lot of cars.
Then my preferences: manual transmission. 2 doors (even stripped 4 door cars weight more), running driving and stopping, no frame damage. And, I would like a manufacturer that is still in existence so I can try to wrangle some form of sponsorship. So Eagle, Pontiac and Saturn are .
Based on what is left over I did some calculations (horsepower to weight specifically) and found the following possibilities with a fairly good hp/wt ratio: Dodge Neon (95 – 99), Dodge Avenger (95 – 2000), Mitsubishi Eclipse, Chevy Cobalt.
But . . . Saturday I came across 2 “groups” on (which I hate) where pretty much the type of race cars I’m looking for are listed. I’ve contacted about a dozen. They seem to be mostly in the Mid-West (especially Iowa) and a few in/around Texas. So we shall see what comes of those.

You Don’t Call You Don’t Write
|
Posted:May 27, 2019 8:19 pm
Last Updated:Jun 13, 2019 2:37 pm 44995 Views

That’s what people say when you haven’t called or written in a long time. Well I can’t call most of y’all, but I might if I could . Far as writing goes . . . yeah I haven’t and that was pointed to several times when I announced the return of BiggLaLa. FYI, that post was all about her so if you talked about me there BL gonna git ya.
So, even though I don’t really “owe” any explanations you’re gonna get some. There are 3 reasons; the first 2 are kinda dull. 1. A lack of motivation. Being ‘out in the sticks’ so to speak there are few local women on these sites, so the motivation to be here is mostly waiting  for an interesting local woman, or more, to pop up here. 2. My computer is approaching the end of its useful life. I had someone do remote ‘CPR’ and it is effectively terminal (pun intended).
Now, the third reason – I’ve been on other sites. Yes you read that right I’ve been cheating on A*F*F. I’ve been looking at other sites. Now, honey(s) before you get all upset let me explain. They aren’t naked/girlie/sex sites. But they are related to an addiction I have, just not the sex one. Hummm . . . perhaps I should ‘splain further.
If you’ve read my posts may have figured out, that I’m a race driving addict. I had 4 race cars at the beginning of this year and had one on CL, off and on, for the last few years. A few months ago I finally sold that car. Running that car (a Mustang) took a ton of effort beginning with the fact that the closest track it was suited for is a 400+ mile round trip. Leaving the track at 1 AM meant I wouldn’t get home till about 5 AM, after a race where the temps could be over 0 degrees. To really get to tracks that a decent purse I would have had to to Texas or California. “So what” you say.
Well, in talking to the guy who bought the Mustang I found that a local-ish dirt track (only 1 hour away) is running a of cars that suits the types of cars I like to build and drive. I could not run the Mustang there. So I went there; checked things , and I got the whiff of race fuel in – it does smell like victory . So, the other sites I’ve been scrounging around on are ones where race cars are sold and technical info is obtained. The tech info will be very important because I have 2 options for having a competitive car; an already built car and make it better (something I’ve done quite well). Or build up a car from a street car which takes a lot of time and . My preference is an already built car – that option tends to be less expensive if they were built decently. But there has been a problem. Just like finding local women finding a comparable race car locally has been a no go. In fact I’m talking to owners in Texas, Iowa and PA.
Anyhow, if y’all want to hear more let me know.
