PSA-Scams...

We all get them in our spam folder....most just delete

A relative of mine didn't 

It was for a Mystery Shopper

Now in her defense there are or were real jobs like that

 once back in the day.

She received this email and thought why not check it out..the first email was vague, 

the next email had some red flags, worded weird and lots of miss spellings.

My relative googled company no complaints so she preceded.

Here's were the scam comes in

She will receive a check and wait for instructions

She received a USPO money order for $850 

She is to go to her bank and cash it, take $200 for herself 

then go to Western Union and send the remainder of money order to the next person listed

RED FLAG RED FLAG

The next person is in the Philippines.

She did not go to her bank collect $200 and pass go to Western Union...

She googled the name on the Money Order and found the Fraud trail.

The buck stopped there....

But what if she didn't have google and her intuition to stop her 

in this economy we are all cutting corners and trying to make ends meet

What if and obviously this must work or why would it still be around

Be Aware 

That is my PSA for the week...

My blogger friend Petra posted this on Facebook

Have a wonderful day! 

PSA-Fruit Flies from Hell

1. I don't know about you but I hate fruit flies.....sorry animal/insect activist. I mean no disrespect really! We buy a lot of fruit and sure enough our kitchen ends up a breading ground for these god awful creatures. Come on people you all hate them ...admit it ! You can't die from them, but they do carry bacteria. Yuck! Thanks to Google I found the easy solution to get rid of them.

   1. Empty jar or plastic container (jam jar 0r cool whip container)

   2. Slice some bananas put in jar

   3. Cover with plastic wrap and a rubber band

   4. Poke holes on top with toothpick.

   They are attracted to bananas and they go in and can't get out. After a couple days throw the container and it's contents in outside garbage. You can also use an apple core, red wine with 3 drops of dish soap, apple cider vinegar.

   Just doing my part to make the world a better place!
