Online fraud/scam and spam, help stop it
Comments (5)Just curious, when you say, "never go online without doing so using a LiveLinux distro," are you referring in general to using a computer with a Linux OS, or are you referring to using a Linux CD ? If the latter, (to be clear) are you suggesting always to use a "live CD" for going online instead of the computer's own operating system (whether it's Linux or not) ?

Comments (8)LOL Pam, I'm glad I'm not the only one! How ever in the world I got on their list I will never know. At first I thought it was funny only because it was an example of "it takes all kinds . . . " but now I find it incredulous, along with all the others. Wish I knew how to stop those, since they use spam machines to generate nonsense e-mail addresses that I can't block since they use a new one each time....See MoreGW- please delete Spam/Scam posts (all forums)
Comments (5)It came up elsewhere on GW since the spammer is all over the boards. There's a chance a creative GW member somehow wrote code to put the cats all over the guy's spam. Would take some creative doing and technical know-how, but my BIL is in IT, he says you'd be amazed at what people can pull off. Easy for a mod to do, but can't see a mod doing that to spam, they'd just delete it....See MoreLatest Scam Calls
Comments (40)I see doctors at UCLA Medical Center, and they are very difficult to reach by phone. For one doctor, whenever I would call, my call would go directly to their voicemail, and they would say that they would call me back. When they did call back, I usually did not have my phone with me or could not answer it fast enough, and they would leave a voicemail telling me to call back at a number other than the one from which they were calling, which I think is a general number for many departments. Anyway, while this was going on, I collected about six different phone numbers for one doctor, and finally I just called the number from which they were calling and got the main operator and explained the problem I was having. He then made the appointment for me himself without transferring me to another extension. Some doctors are extremely difficult to get because they are so busy, and it usually takes at least a month to get an appointment. My brother can make appointments with his doctor on-line, but that is not an option at UCLA. The good thing is that there are lots of excellent doctors at UCLA - the bad thing is that it is difficult to get the appointments. I try to answer the phone if the area code is 310 even if I don't recognize the number because there is a good chance it could be one of the doctors' offices. There are never any names that show up on the UCLA caller IDs unless I have saved that number in my contacts list. I see my regular doctor in Pacific Palisades, and his office is always easy to reach, although I might be on hold for a couple of minutes. His office is better staffed than the offices at UCLA. My Medicare supplementary insurance (SCAN) is like an HMO, and so I generally have zero co-payments, but I have to see doctors in the UCLA system, and my regular doctor is affiliated with them. He recommended this insurance, and I am very happy with it. In addition to the Ronald Reagan UCLA hospital, I can also go to St. John's in Santa Monica or Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Hills with the plan that I have. There is also an emergency clinic in Marina Del Rey that is very close to my house, and it is open on week-ends. I do have a high co-pay for other emergency room visits ($75), but I have not needed to use that. I've only gotten on phone call message that was Chinese, but when I lived in Venice, I used to get a lot of voice mail messages in Japanese because the people who had my number before me were Japanese. One time I had my BIL (who was visiting at the time) answer the phone in Japanese, and he had the most difficult time getting the people on the other end off. He could not convince them that they had called the wrong number. So if you get another call in Chinese, make sure that you do not speak Chinese back to them, unless they are someone you know....See MoreOklaMoni
