Cybercrime

 Getting hacked off


Twice in the last 12 months I have had my bank account hacked by people in the Philippines. This raises the question about what happens?

Do they get the IT training, then find there is no work; or do they get the IT training to hack?

A few years ago I had to laugh when the bank contacted about a suspicious sale using my card.
It was from a man in Wigan, Greater Manchester who tried to use my account to buy some disco equipment. The funny part is I have not been to Wigan, the last time I passed through the area was back in 1988 when I got de-mobbed from the Royal Air Force.
 Even in my teens I never liked going to discos, the bright flashing lights and loud noises gave me severe headaches.

Prior to that, a person in Budapest, Hungary tried buying a meal with my details. I have never been anywhere near the area; the closest I have been would be when I went to Switzerland the year before I got married (36 years ago).

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
