Beware Scammers!

April 9, 2025 by 1 Comment

I got one of those fake Paypal invoices today for a .50 caliber double barrel shotgun.

I’m like WTF?

Now here is the funny part. There is actually such a thing as a Seneca Double Shot .50 cal Double Barrel Shotgun. Turns out it is an air-shotgun. Think air rifle but made up as a shotgun. Even Midway USA carries it!

I’m not sure why I’d want a air shotgun given all the choices available in “real” shotguns. Nonetheless I learned something like that actually exists. I guess I should thank the scammers for broadening my horizons.

About That Student Loan Forgiveness

April 15, 2024 by 2 Comments

The Complementary Spouse received an interesting email today. It dealt with President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan.

Hello my name is Benjamin Rivera on behalf of the Student-Loan Debt Department. We tried to contact you at your home and did not hear back. Your Student-Loans have been marked as eligible for forgiveness under the new 2024 guidelines. Your case number is #21825, and your file will remain open in my system for only one more day. If you could please give your dedicated eligibility line a call at: (8­­­­44-3­6­1­-60­39)

Thank You, Benjamin Rivera

There is only one tiny problem with Mr. Rivera’s email. There is nothing to forgive.

That is because the Complementary Spouse has never, ever had a student-loan. Moreover, she never received any calls at home from the “Student-Loan Debt Department.”

So take this as a warning that scammers are out there pushing supposed student-loan forgiveness when the reality is that they are trying to take your hard earned monies.
