BonTexasNY Posted July 5, 2021 #21827 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I just posted this on Bella's thread. Thought to share in here as well: I had to change my email password. I received an email from Walmart letting me know my order was received and should arrive July 6. Huh? $52.00. I scrolled further and found the person who ordered the Whey Protein Powder lives in CA. So thankful I have no credit card on file AND the email that was used was the one used for job searches not the one I use to order from Walmart.com. I usually change my password periodically but it got away from me this time. I called Walmart and the order was cancelled. Their fraud security has been notified. Scary. Please remember to change your password periodically! We now resume our regular "broadcast". 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the NJ grown corn we used to buy at farmer's markets when we lived in NY. So sweet it tasted like it was cooked in sugar. We had a huge garden growing up in NJ, would go pick the corn and could eat it without cooking it was so sweet. Do miss the corn and especially the tomatoes. Got spoiled and am very picky now, hard to find anything that even comes close here. Tip I learned for cooking corn, smell the steam coming off the pot, as soon as you smell the corn take it out, fresh corn only needs a minute or two, older can take much longer.

Please remember to change your password periodically! We now resume our regular "broadcast". Sounds like this was a legitimate mistaken order since Walmart cancelled the order, but this is also a common scam. People will send an email or text message talking about an order arriving that you don't recognize. Often, people will reply, which let's the scammers know that they have a "live" address or phone number. They will then sell lists of live addresses to other scammers. They may sell 1000 addresses with a guarantee that 95% are active. If a scammer buys the list and finds that there are fewer than 950 active addresses, they can contact customer service for the organization from which they bought the addresses and get their money back. Yes...it's a real business and worth a lot of money. Worst case, they will convince someone to send them their password or credit card info to someone fix the "mistake". Never reply, and never click on any links provided...even if they look legit. Always separately contact the company involved (e.g. Walmart) through a known good phone number or email address from their web site. No legitimate company will ever ask you to provide them with your password. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am paying attention and I do care. I have a lot of stuff going on right now in my life and trying to keep up to date is hard sometimes.

Thanks, it is actually very simple.... If one of the "regular" posters mentions an anniversary, I take note. If I may say so, I'm good at that 😉 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where the corn we got this weekend is from, it's okay, nowhere near as sweet as NJ corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad would soak the corn with husks still in place in a huge pail of water for an hour, then put them right on the grill. Oooohhh so good! 🙂 I do the same with my corn. Love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap with phone, send it email to myself, download, go into downloads, transfer picture to "pictures" file with folders (I have a big one titled Maine 2021 right now)...then select from that to post. Most likely an easier way...but it works for me. 😉 Glad I'm not the only one! 49 minutes ago, akcruz said: We had a huge garden growing up in NJ, would go pick the corn and could eat it without cooking it was so sweet.

Tip I learned for cooking corn, smell the steam coming off the pot, as soon as you smell the corn take it out, fresh corn only needs a minute or two, older can take much longer. I grew tomatoes, cukes, peppers and scallions in NY. NJ sold the best corn and tomatoes. When I tasted how good NJ tomatoes were I stopped growing them myself. We lived on the NY/NJ border and had multiple farms to buy home grown produce. 37 minutes ago, bobmacliberty said: Sounds like this was a legitimate mistaken order since Walmart cancelled the order, but this is also a common scam.

I never clicked on a link in the email but called the # for Walmart that I googled. I hate to think what would have happened if I had a saved credit card on file. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those dots in the water in the second photo is me, one of a handful without a wet suit. I've been swimming there all my life before wet suits for surfers were fashionable. Currently in a VERY hot bath and looking forward to dinner in the local pub Hubby absolutely refuses to come in unless it's the Med or Caribbean, which is weird as our first date was when he asked me if I would like to come to the local scuba diving club where he was a member and he dived off the British Coast all the time. But that was 35 years ago. Edited July 5, 2021 by sgmn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
