Stupid Saturday: 9/29/2012

Story:



My take on it:

What I don't understand is this: How could a mother forget their child outside nearby a vehicle if she was leaving him/her alone on the property?  There were no details about the father or anyone else that would have watched this child properly.  Not only that, she didn't bring the child with him seeing that she already knows that this kid can walk.  Why leave the child alone on the property if there was no one that could prevent the incident or if a kidnapping were to happen?

Another thing that I was thinking was why she wasn't looking behind her as she was backing up?  Was she in a hurry?  We don't know the answers to these questions, but its a tragic that a mother of her age was too irresponsible to take care of a child.

I'm betting that Department of Human services would  be involved after this incident was published in the paper.  After all, the mother has another child that she is taking care of.

My take on it:

I don't understand how the mother was able to detect that the loan the daughter was looking at was fake, but didn't take the $1500 scam seriously.  Having a scam asking to pay for $1500 worth of items first is one of the many red flags that would have been obvious that it was fake.

What I don't understand here is the fact that the daughter believes that she didn't provide the scammers any personal information to the online website.  That is total bullshit in her part.  She had to communicate to them in some manner in order to share her service that she had received, not to mention had to share her address in which the check had came into their mailbox later in the month!  The picture above even has the address to the person it belongs to.  She had to give them an address, name, and other information in order for them to physically receive the check.  I don't see the reason why the daughter is making this excuse.  Maybe she doesn't want to be the fault of everything that she had done incorrectly.

Where would the information go?  It would be stored and be used to advertise more spam to this student, not to mention that her information could be used in fraudulent uses.  Not only that information is collected by the victim themselves, the website can even steal her credit card information that is stored on the computer.  Seeing that she and the mother doesn't know beans about security and spam websites, it wouldn't be a surprise that their credit card accounts are being used by other scammers.

I'm curious where the hell she had received the $1500 within the month to use to pay for purchases in the first place!  Did her mother give her the money willingly or did the daughter have money from somewhere?  Its unknown from the article, but it raises questions to where the daughter was able to get the money from to spend on something that she ironically needed money for in her student loans and for a student loan.

I think the both of them need to do is this:  Either stay off the computer or find computer security classes.  Research websites effectively and properly before making stupid judgements like that again.  Find work out in the real world in the local area.  Its not hard to go to a business and pick up an application. Online jobs are the biggest scams on the face of the Earth and shouldn't be taken seriously.
