When One Gets Targeted By Criminals

 

 

Did they succeed in their "Valet Stealing"? I hope not ....

I often get some very, very shady "offers" from scam agents, publishers, authors, etc., etc.. However, sometimes I even get messages from insane or just criminal individuals. This is an instance of such a message:

"Hi, You're running out of time.

It's important you pay a ttention t o this m essage right now. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it. 'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and m e, a nd I ain't playing games. You don't know me however I know you very well and righ t now, yo u are think ing h ow, right?

Well, you've been treading on thin ice with your browsing habits, scrolling t hrough those videos and clicking on links, stumbling upon some not-so-safe sites. I placed a M alware on a po rn website and you visited it to watch (know what I mean?). When you were busy watchi ng videos, your system initiated op erating as a RDP (Remote Proto col) whic h pro vided m e tot al con trol over your device.

I invested in more days than I probably sh ould have inves tigat ing into your dat a. Extracted quite a b it of juic y inf o from your s ystem. and I've s een it all. Yeah, Yeah, I've got footage of you doing filthy thi ngs in your house (nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there's the videos you were p laying, and on the other half, i t is y ou jerking off. With just a cli ck, I can send this garbage to every single of your con tacts.

Your confusion is clear, but don't expect sympathy. Frankly, I am willing to wip e t he slate c lean, a nd allow you to mo ve on with y our daily life and forget y ou ever ex isted. I will offer you t wo alte rnatives.

The video was st raight fire, and I can't eve n fatho m th e embarras ement you' ll endure wh en you r colleague s, friends, and fam check it out. But hey, that's life, ain't it? Don't be playing the vi ctim here.

2. is to pay me, and be confident ial about it. We will name it my "privacy tip". Now Lets discuss what happens if you pick this option. Your dirty secret remains your secret.

Needless to say, I have the email address of this individual, and I'm going to report him to FBI even though I suspect that not much will come out of it ....

SHAMELESS As Don the Con

 

I don't know what this young lady did to deserve a scolding by the police, but that face is the very picture of something that normally keeps people in line: SHAME is the game, and it works with most of us because that's how we were brought up. "Shame on you!!!" is a potent war cry in many battles, even today, but it doesn't always work with everyone. Some people literally are OUT OF SHAME or DEVOID OF SHAME. One of these individuals is Don the Con, aka Donald Trump. 

Then what is "shame"? Well, according to "Britannica Dictionary" it's something most - but not all - of us recognize at once. I think "shame" may be the inner police officer keeping an eye upon us, who we are, what we do, and how we react when caught doing something SHAMELESS.

To be caught doing something against "the more or less implicit rules of society" would stop most individuals from doing what he/she is doing or has done: Repeats of that nasty deed would be SHAMEFUL. 

Yup, he/she was found out, was PROVEN guilty and thus is classified as culpable of something disgusting or "low class" that would make most people shameful enough to start regretting their ways. They don't like being PROVEN guilty as it's declassifying as a human: GOOD, honest and decent people are not supposed to associate with shameless individuals who don't have that "inner police officer" they themselves have. The reason? To associate with scum you yourself become scum = It's contagious!

Oops, inner police officer didn't like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those who lack that "inner police officer" most often are dictators of some kind. They feel that they are in the right, no matter what they do, and what's more, they know how to play decent people and butt them on each other - or themselves via their inner police officer: "Self-blame" sure is a lovely weapon in the hands of the shameless ones and they love gluing it to everybody but themselves.

 

As well presumed other felonies we don't know of YET.

 

If a normal person was accused of one or two of these PROVEN felonies he/she would bow his/her head IN SHAME, but not Don the Con: There is no inner police officer telling him that what he did/does is wrong and that he should be ashamed of himself. No, he just shrugs and go on with whatever he was doing which is bad news for everyone else ....

Stages in A Robbery Attempt On FACEBOOK

 

This is something I experienced on my (late) Facebook profile's MESSENGER a couple of years ago. I think it was part of an intricate "Nigerian scam" and I don't blame Facebook as I don't see any proofs of them being co-players ....

........................................

24th of October, Someone on Messenger: Hello how are you doing...hope all is well with you and your family?

My response: Thank you, and I hope the same for you (I think this was "Brenda", but I'm not sure)

 

Brenda (who was on my friends' list, but not someone I talked to a lot), Later, the same day, 24th of October: "Good to see you online ... I went to dr and tested positive for strep! Ugh!! other than that i am doing pretty good, glad to hear from you and have you heard about the good news yet?"

My response, some hours later: ???

26th of October, 00.01, Brenda: "I’m wondering did I told you anything about the publishers clearing house (PCH)?"

My response, 26th of October, 05.48: "No, what's that?"

Brenda: "I was able to get cash from them but i saw your name among the winner list when they came to deliver my winning money did you actually get your or did you received any E-mail from them yet??"

My response, 27th of October, 07.40: "I never applied"

28th of October, 01.38, Brenda: "I got $150,000.00 cash from them. There’s no need of qualifications and it’s not a loan. I actually thought you have heard already I think you need to check this out by contacting their claiming help desk. Do you know how to apply for the program?"

My response, 28th of October, 06.04: "Didn't you read the above? It's (not) about people outside of USA"

Brenda, 21.28: "This is real and legitimate program unlike a loan which you don't have to pay it back A Sister of friend who works with the Government said the money is from Government... i got $150,000.00 When i applied for the Grant... I don't believe such opportunity can ever exist to me until my bank verify the money and see its legal, you don't need to pay it back it's a program that you can also benefit from ."

Brenda: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090868641546&mibextid=ZbWKwL 

Brenda: "Just click on the link above then put your finger where it says "SEND MESSAGE. A blank page will open, put your finger on this page and Leave a message let them know that a beneficiary told you about them and you will like to apply for the program... That "solves" the system. Trying it"

My response, 21.51: "The link just leads me to your Facebook page, which can't be right"

Brenda: "Just try that right now click on the above link right now it will take you directly to their private official Facebook page you will see a message button leave a message there then send am very sure they will get back to you as soon as your message got delivered"

My response, 00.02: "No, I can't make it work"

Brenda, 01.22: "I have get you connected with the claiming agency right now i think you should check your messages you should have heard from them by now"

My response, 09.09: "No, and that's not going to happen as I'm a Dane, not an American"

"The name of this "Brenda" is: Brenda Johns, and she was on my friend's list - except that she most likely wasn't the one I knew by that name, but an ID-thief, pretending to be "Brenda". Later on the scam developed into a new pattern as a so-called "agent" stepped in and more or less took over: AGENT SCARLETT CHARLOTTE

 

Scarlett: "This is AGENT SCARLETT CHARLOTTE From the Desk of Federal Reserved Funding Grant Program . The United States Government and Private Grant Foundations give away Billions in free money every year to Millions of U.S. Citizens just like you through the help of the State Department or Workers Compensation Appealing Board(WCAB) BILL GATE AND WARREN BUFFET FOUNDATION,These are cash grants that all U.S taxpaying citizens are entitled to (PCH) and should take advantage of. This money can be used for almost anything you can imagine. In fact right now people are being approved for large sums of money to start Businesses, eradicate CANCER and pay for their Children’s Education, Medical Bills, and even buy Themselves a house.This is an Empowerment program set up by the Federal Government to help the American communities and other countries around the World. it’s money given by the American Government to help the American Communities. You might be one of the lucky beneficiaries who won from this Empowerment Program. KINDLY GET BACK TO US WITH YOUR FULL NAME & FULL HOME ADDRESS..........."

My response, 9.08: "I never was a citizen so this is not for me."

Scarlett, 11.18: "HOLD LET’S CHECK OUR DATABASE SYSTEM TO SEE IF YOU’RE ELIGIBLE TO QUALIFY FOR OUR YEARLY GRANT MONEY."

Scarlett, 14.20: "WE GOT YOUR FULL DETAILS AND YOUR INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROGRAM IN OUR DATABASE NOW THEN YOUR TICKETS NUMBER IS .P7864758074278/188 SERIAL NUMBER ..05/092/39/50/26/71 BATCH NUMBER .. P3973730842/143"

 

Scarlett: "CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR

GRANT APPROVAL AS OUR DELIVERY TEAM ALERTS THAT YOUR DATA VERIFICATION PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL AND YOUR NAME IS STILL AVAILABLE AS ONE OF OUR LUCKY WINNERS TO CLAIM FOR THE ONGOING GRANT, WHY DOES IT TAKES YOU SO LONG TO CONTACT US ?"

 

My response: "Well, let me be blunt: I don't accept something like this if I don't understand it. I never applied, I never tried to make contact, and I don't find any information that make me see this a genuine. Also, the link you sent me leads to your page and nothing else. All in all, I feel that this is some weird sort of scam."

Scarlett, same day, 20.05: "The FBI and other Force agency are aware of our grant programs . We ain’t scammers and our program is legit. - This is why we are willing to provide you money for personal use or for business.The truth is, many people aren't even aware that the program exist The government does not knock on your door to offer you free money.

No credit checks required ? No need for co-signers ? You may be eligible even with bad credit or bankruptcy ? You never have to pay back. This fund is an award that does not have to be paid back. We Are United Power To Success and Focus for Human right. This is 100% REAL & LEGITIMATE"

I, being quite stubborn by nature, still is not convinced which leads to an anger attack by Scarlett: "Then get blocked we thought you needed help we didn't know you are here to abuse our grant and it's against our grant rules and regulations once you tried this next you will be to the Fbi now get your fuvking ass out our page"

 

My response, 23.24: "Fine with me, just delete me on your page and on the list that I never wanted to join"

A VERY angry AGENT SCARLETT CHARLOTTE: "Now I see you want to die wretched idiot make sure you don't reply my messages anymore once you do that you'll need to talk with the FBI we don't want this kind of waste human being in America."

  

My response: "Once and for all, I'm NOT AN AMERICAN. I'm a DANE, Living in the European country where I was born. I don't know what scam you're trying to pull off, but it stinks."

.................................................................................

And, of course that should have been the end of it, but it wasn't: I didn't fall for "Brenda" or "Scarlett Charlotte", but fall I did when they resorted to the "heavy cavalry" by pretending to be a couple of friends I had known - and talked to - for years. After succumbing I was ripped of a minor amount and then swarmed with nude requests: "Send me yours and I shall send you mine ...." 

All in all a very interesting, and in many ways hilarious, experience ....

Anne, the Sad Story of A Woman Who Was Bereaved Beyond Endurance

Well, this isn't the grave of Anne, Queen of England (1665–1714) and the last Stuart to reign. However, most of the "inhabitants" of the vault ended up as failures in life when deemed by their own standards and dreams which turns it into a sad - and kind of ironic - memento to her biography: It's the grave vault of the narcissist Henry VIII (1491-1547), marked by a slab of marble:

In this quite bare and unceremonious grave vault are Anne's beheaded (and arrogant) grandfather, Charles I, as well as one of her 18 dead children put to rest with the Tudor king Henry VIII and one of his wives, Jane Seymour. All of them relatives, but still, not "bed fellows" one might expect to find together in their last resting place. However, that's just one of the many unexpected traits in the biography of poor Anne, the first one being that she - and before her her sister, Mary - became queens of England. The main reason for that was that their uncle, Charles II (1630–1685) didn't have any legitimate issue and that he, who was a secret Catholic, had his nieces brought up Protestants to make them acceptable by British standards.

Pregnant 18 times, six children born alive, but only one, William, survived until he died, 11 years old. Pregnancies take their toll on the body and the futility of 18 dead children must have been unbearable. Still, she endured because she was a believer: Being brought up an Anglican she found solace in her beliefs which I find quite strange. She might have raged against the God she believed in, but no, she didn't. Not even being racked by something that may have been lupus made her lose faith. 

Anne's life was one of unstoppable suffering, and I - who am an Agnostic - admit that her Christian faith kept her going, but that leads to a question: Should one accept what she went through as acceptable in life? Not that she had much of a choice, but ....

Demons "Everywhere"

 

Tucker Carlson, Trump supporter and former Fox News host, claims that ca. 18 months ago he was attacked by a demon in his bed. He even had physical markings in form of scratch marks and wounds after the alleged attack which are supposed to be evidence that it really happened and not only was something that took place in his head and his imagination. That's interesting, but more as a tell-tale sign about Tucker's personality than as a proof that there are demons out there. To me it's more likely that Tucker Carlson had a special, wild wet dream than a demonic visit, but then I am a skeptic when it comes to demons although they are part of our history and ideological heritage.

The Church, always ready to subdue people by scaring them, has up through history preached over "demons" out to catch our soul and drag us down into Hell. They had carvings of demon gargoyle figures on the churches and kept warning people against associating with these hellish creatures. Also there were lists of demons, names and hierarchy, that turned it into something more tangible: "This is not figments of the imagination, no it's real, and they are out to get YOU!"

However, this obsession with demons and the way of representing them in art that to most modern humans seem ludicrous may have an interesting perspective: The very rare illness of Prosopometamorphopsia or PMO. People who claim that they see demons may experience illusions about strange deformities in faces that others don't see. For instance, that happened to Victor Sharrah who all of a sudden began seeing normal faces distorted and changing or "remodeled" into demonic traits.

This strange disease is neurological: The perception is distorted, not the real faces.

The Beginning of Life and The Bible

Well, that may work wonders, but Yahweh clearly defines himself as someone to be obeyed and not swayed by reason or prayers, e.g.: "⁶³ Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess." (Deuteronomy 28:63) 

(Actually, in my opinion, this old religious figure in some aspects resemble Donald Trump in his insistence on POWER. As it is the depiction of this former toyboy for the goddess Astarte/Asherah doesn't strike one as a "good", benevolent or even considerate god even though that's an important part of modern, public beliefs about him: Sometimes he is even seen as a kind of Santa, bestowing gifts upon people which is not in accordance with descriptions one finds in The Bible).

To me beliefs, religious or not, are human made and thus may shift with social and historical conditions. As they are human made it's interesting to see that Yahweh often is described as the propagandist of ideas that in reality are against what The Bible professes. One of the subjects that undergoes such a modern transformation is life itself. When and how does life start is an important question when it comes to women and their abortion rights. I've often seen claims about the "sin" of abortions, even when founded on medical reasons, and this "sin" may be translated into "go against the will of God". However, those who say something like that obviously haven't read what The Bible says on the subject of life and babies. They simply propose something which they take for granted must be the message of The Bible.

 

According to The Bible life begins at birth, and not before birth. "Life" as such is defined as "breath", like e.g. in the legend of Adam in (Genesis 2:7): God ".... "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." As to the biblical respect for life of children as such then it seems non-existent: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalm 137:9) The massacre of the innocents (Matthew: 2:16-18) tells the horrifying story of Herod having all male children of a certain age executed and there are no signs of a godly regret or even compassion. The Bible is NOT PRO-Child as such. Children are not protected by Yahweh whether in or out of the uterus.

ZERO

 

Well, balloons are full of air - i.e. "nothing" - so in many ways this is the perfect symbol of what we know as the ZERO ....

Zeroes are not worth much when you need something and have to find money for it on your empty bank account, but GOSH, how interesting as an idea.

"Zero's origins most likely date back to the “fertile crescent” of ancient Mesopotamia. Sumerian scribes used spaces to denote absences in number columns as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon." (History)

According to tradition it appeared in Europe as late as approximately 1200, also introducing the "comma" of numbers which has its own mystique.  

When somebody asks you "is this (empty!!!) number even or odd one finds out just how strange it is. How is it even possible that it entered the series of numbers: 1 - 2 - 3 - and so on or 0 - 1 - 2 - 3, etc. when it in itself is empty? It may be tempting to denounce it as some kind of "non-number", but that would ruin the picture of how to do mathematics as well as a lot of other things in the modern world ....
