    • Since I find "social media" platforms to be a waste of my time, my personal answer is "No". If those texts include a phone number, you can place it in the search box on every page of this site and it will take you to the proper number thread to post information about the text. You may find that...

Offered to send us free t-shirts of our local professional baseball team....BLA BLA BLA. They'll call you from what appears to be a local phone...

    • That doesn't make any sense to construct a major highway with the intention of scamming people over the phone. The scammers would have to be among the dumbest in the world to spend more than they would ever collect from scamming. Besides, why would they call North American phone numbers and display...

(I highlighted US Mail, because doing so means that they've committed a Federal offense, which puts them a cut above the typical texting or email scam, in potential penalties.) Same old garbage: It...

I took out some short-term, low-interest loans one year, to shift income to the next year, rather than pulling from a 401k that year, for tax reasons. (It's all about cash flow, and 2% loans did the trick.) Apparently,...

In the case of the elderly and the "young and busy" it may simply be a matter of convenience. It's easier to adopt a simple strategy (don't answer unknown callers) than to...
