I heard on the news that Verizon customers, not necessarily seniors, got a text from their own number, saying their March bill is paid and to click on a link to get free service next month. It took them to a Russian TV site…..

I never reply to texts not in my contacts. I won’t even reply to ones supposedly from my own provider. I log into my account and look for that page or call them to ask if they sent a text. Years ago I got a text to change my password, so I called them. They said it was them and they understood my caution.

I delete emails or texts from unknown senders, not even opening it. I shred junk mail I get as snail mail. Don’t answer the intercom unless expecting a delivery or visitor. Somebody’s probably trying to get in so they try everyone.

Unless I recognize someone at my door as maintenance or a neighbor, I don’t even say “Who is it?” They have no business with me so go away. I’m naturally skeptical and more so now.

My orthopedist recommended Glucosamine to me--but maybe I'll cut back on it,.

Watch our for an email telling you your PayPal account has been compromised and to contact a certain site. It's a scam.

I don’t trust anyone. I got a text from some company saying I opted in to receiving texts from them which I did not. But I know not to even reply with STOP or CANCEL. This alerts them that it’s a “live” number a human responds to. They can then sell your number to other scammers.

I’m getting a lot of scam or dirty texts. My provider screens out or silences scam or telemarketer calls but the texts get through.

I've gotten calls with Caller ID's supposedly from some kind of police charity for troubled youth. I've never answered any call as usual, and they were calling me for YEARS from different numbers.

I MIGHT have jury duty next week. It's one day or one trial. They warned us about scams claiming to be the court, asking for personal info and threatening arrest if you don't appear.

Unfortunately a lot of companies expect employees to multi-task, because it saves them money. (Make the receptionist not only take calls but work on spreadsheets for example) But none of the tasks get our full attention.

I believe some are better at it than others but I knew we aren't hard wired to do it. Same with working at night.

I NEVER take my phone ANYWHERE near the bathroom or water at all! Nothing is that important I tell you. I don't get people taking the phone with them in the stall at public restrooms. I've heard women talking on the phone while doing something else.....

Well, I have been known to take my phone into the bathroom when I'm talking to my sister--but not to anyone else!
