My neighbor bought the testosterone pills you see advertised on tv, free month first time. They required a credit card number and sent him a bottle every month and charged his card. He had to cancel the card to get it to stop. Also the pills whacked out his brain, he was quite batty for a while.
Oh sure I had a friend, bought the testosterone pills
right up there with a fish story.
Just had to say that ......
Electronic security is pretty good, just use common sense. I pay all my bills, over the web, write one check . The donation to my church, have one CC, single point of credit line.
Having many and playing CC roulette, folks can loose track of what's going on. ATM card only use it at the bank to finger tip cash.
Never would i use a cell phone for any type of $$$ transaction. That to me is like walking around with a bag full of cash. Shouting to the world, look at all the cash I have in this bag. If one loves the cell phone purchases, at least pair it only to a CC, never a bank account
This just happened two days ago, sharing as a teaching moment.

Again common sense, if it is convenient to spend your $$$. is it just as convenient to steal it, just the world we live in. Sometimes inconveniences are also protection.
As to the subject:Internet connected appliances ........ what's the point, not really seeing the need. Will not change the way the ice maker works. It will still jam and now a cell phone is annoying you about it also.
Back to thinking about stupid stuff
