So today, I let down my defense, almost got scammed. If you know me at all, then you know I always think someone is out to get me, not just me I mean like in general somebody is always looking to screw some one over. I worry because  my parents are older and when my mom answers the phone she has almost many times fell for these scammers the only thing that keeps her from going threw is she is unable to drive, thank goodness. So I was having a problem with my I pad the screen is cracked, which is a first for me. So I googled apple site for tech support, clicked on what I thought was a legitimate site, anyway I tell the India guy, of course this is nothing new the fact that he is of India decent, if you are offended by this oh well. I told him the problem, I gave no information other than my name and the serial number of my device, so he says it would cost $100.00 for new I pad, then says something to the effect to deposit and I thought what does that mean, so I explained I don't want new I pad I want the screen replace, he then said $50.00 and someone will come to your home to pick it up, which I thought was weird so I said I don't think this is legitimate I will just take it to a apple store, then he proceeded to tell me to go F MYSELF and I said what!!!!!! Then he hung up as I said a few choice words back. OMG, WOW is all I can say. So I learned something today from my son who is very tech savvy, he said if I google something and it has AD IN FRONT that means its not the real deal. So on to better news, Las Vegas trip was a blast, loved everything, great time, family and friends. My plane, the flight was great no issues, I might be safe to say my fear of flying is gone,maybe.
Stampinup is great got all kinds of freebies, and I guess I will give it some effort and see if I cant sell something.
