Theft. The very word makes one feel violated. And when it actually happens it will feel so much worse.
You’re not a stupid person. You are not careless… You check accounts and lock doors when you leave home. Yet as careful as you are and as much as you practice good habits; there are persons who practice just the opposite, which is how to steal.
Fraud is rampant right now. These persons who steal are liars… On your email, your phone, hard copy, everywhere. So, open nothing you do not recognize. Take no “friend” on the Internet that you do not already know personally. Verify everything before action is taken. Think you’re safe? No you are not. Can’t make friends with the online services? Get help! Ask for help. Do it. Do it now.
Theft. These people are thieves and liars for a living; they work 24/7 and tell themselves that this is a legitimate career. They come home after “work” and prepare a dinner just like you… But the ingredients are bought with someone else’s hard earned cash and it might be yours. Change your passwords often! I know, it can be a pain in the behind to do this… I often tell myself that if there is a password to cross over to heaven I may be on the outside for eternity because passwords can be difficult to deal with… They can’t be anything that relates to you or your life; they must be random. You don’t like it? No one cares… Get over it. Save yourself… We ALL have to get over that and practice changing those passwords so that thieves and liars cannot steal the food we need to buy, the house we need to live in, the life that we worked so hard to have! THEIVES! That is not NOT an honest living, and you and I are the target. It is a new world out there. These thieves and liars want what you have. Don’t let them have it. It is the wild wild west today with computers and cell phones and Internet.
May you heed the words that I’ve said and save the life you worked to have.
Best… Carolyn Thomas Temple
