#6231 Hospital costs, brother resolution, lj scam.

[scottobear]

Bro's was fined $50 after pleading no contest... woke me up from my lovely nap, too. Still raining something fierce. I woke up with the phrase "bulletproof martyr" in my mind...not sure where I know the phrase. (or if it's some last minute mental swirl). Danny's got a really bad sinus infection... he's on antibiotics, and suffering from a lot of yuck.

from news-

So here's the latest in LJ scams...

People are now saying they're "friends with the LJ crew" and have access to cheap accounts. They then offer to sell you $25 paid accounts for only $10, but they'll first need your username and password. These people then do get you a paid account, but with a stolen credit card paid for under your name. Once we see it's a stolen card, we suspend the victim of the hoax, thinking they stole the card.

Things to be noted:

-- we don't give cheap accounts to anybody for $10
-- never give anybody your password
-- there are many scams out there. don't trust everybody.

Please disseminate this to any community where you've seen this going on, translated into whatever language. (This scam seems to be popular within the Russian userbase lately....)

Did the "bulletproof martyr" meet the "bulletproof monk"?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

a good question....

Maybe the bulletproof monk was martyred?

I simply do not have enough words to tell you how much I love this icon! *laugh*

But what does your Polaroid read, Scotto? =)

Are you having time for lots of Newt snuggles? And recovering well?

It says "This guy doesn't know anything, just talks about his cat."

[dorkgirl.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Perfect!! =)

I was craving green tea ice cream today....

damn...

wish I could get some delivered!!

xoxo

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you're in south florida... no friendly sushi joints nearby?

[bettiegirl.livejournal.com]

yeah, but none that deliver only ice cream =)

I'd haveta order like $20 worth of ice cream.

Ah well....maybe tomorrow...

xoxo

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Doh! That's a lot of ice cream!

Well, I guess you could stock up!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Hey, they were supposed to charge you like 25 bucks for a couple of Ibuprofren -- and $75 bucks for some of those slipper thingies, too.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Hmm... maybe that's included in "other pharmacy" and "non-sterile supply" ?

Hooray for slippy-socks!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]
