Keeping up with the Laws...

Tomorrow, there will be a postcard posted

Watch for it. (I'm just too lazy to go take a picture of it right now).

Then watch for it in your mail. Hopefully you WON'T get one.

If you DO get it, chances are you will end up as part of a class action lawsuit.

If you get a postcard welcoming you for being a valued member of VoiceNetPlus!, be sure to be prepared to call the phone company. A while back I got one and couldn't figure out what it was. It looked like I was, well, being welcomed to something I joined, WHICH I DID NOT. A quick Google search, and I found, yep, sounds like a scam. I kept the post card. I've had it a couple months I think. Today, I went to pay our phone bill and it is $26 and change over what it should be, with charges to a couple different things...USBI and OAN Services, Inc... all pointing back to this postcard. Dave called the phone company and has cancelled whatever this is, and was told it was something we joined by clicking a pop up window. NOT! Anyhow, by the sounds of it, we are stuck paying the extra cash for this month, and we are now part of a class action lawsuit. Fun.

Never click popups, even the ones you don't see (You know, like when you have them blocked like I do).

And never believe anything is FREE. (I am sure some of you reading this may believe those stupid internet tricks - THEY ARE TRICKS, DON'T BELIEVE THEM) NOTHING IS FREE. Well... with the exception of tomatoes... I am sure we will have a bunch of those this summer. But that's from ME, free things from me are always FREE! :-) But that's the exception to the rule.
