A few years ago I read a story about children play areas parks in Sydney. Slides and swing for the children to play safely or so we as parents hope. This particular park while innocent enough during the day. However, nighttime became a haven for drug users who would try to bury their needles in...

I agree 1000% my view of scammers are they are heartless scum on a good day. I think if the countries these scammers are based were to get a little tougher on scammers, then we may not see as many as we do. Some countries (no names mentioned) have the attitude that as long as their citizens are...

I agree I do the same, if a call is important and from a reputable company then they will leave a message. However, scammers prey on vulnerable people. Those in a hurry with a lot their mind, someone expecting contact from their trusted company. Most people do not wish to be rude when they...

Another life cut short far too young. R.I.P.

I have had repeated automated phone call from supposed bank credit card security. They often claim I have had a transaction on eBay for "X" number of dollars, I get the usual, "if you did not authorize this transaction press one or two to speak with a consultant". I hang up before the thing has...

One of the problems is these scammers try to prey on people who are vulnerable, elderly, something stressful going on in their lives, in a hurry or not thinking straight (medication). These people try to persuade the victim to make urgent, hurried decision before they realize they are being scammed.

Low life scammers are very persuasive and pushy often resorting to forceful, coercive tactics to get the victim to comply before they realize they are being scammed. When a scammer contacts a potential victim they first, try to establish trust and a sense of urgency to encourage the victim to...

I had a call a few years ago and I kept the guy on the phone for half an hour. I kept answering the bloke as though I was on the computer. My computer was turned off and I was sitting there with a blank screen (no power) just typing away to make the guy think I had the computer on. After half an...

You enter these lotteries with the mindset I am going to lose or donate my money to the lottery. But on the off chance I win, then it is a bonus. We have always gone with Lotto and had a few small wins here or there, but it is more about a little bit of fun and speculation a chance to make...

I think they had everything happen in that place all bar a meteorite strike and volcanic eruption, stay tuned for the next saga of Tragedy Bay.

You were one of the lucky ones. So many scammers take advantage of vulnerable people, and everyone must be vigilant when online. Not saying that these relationships do not work or that every online contact is a scammer. But we have to be aware of predators who will take advantage of others. I...

I have found that these people are targeting anyone they can conscript on social media and not just on dating sites. I check the persons profile page and recent posts. Most scammer try to make their profile look legitimate as though they have been online for a long time and a safe bet. However...

I do not think it matters where the accident occurred. The fact is these beds are sold all over the world and this could happen to anyone with this type of mechanism on their Otterman bed. I was looking at the image of the bed trying to figure out how this could have happened. I thought that the...

It is about educating people about what should be recycled no shame (guilty conscience) just another form of education.

The queen also took her name as a keepsake from her husband. When Queen Elizabeth was very young, she could not pronounce her name as Elizabeth. Instead, she would say Lillybeth. The name stuck as an endearing love token between her and Prince Phillip.

RIP. My deepest sympathy for the family for their loss. This is unimaginable that such a device could lead to a person's tragic death.

Wow did they pick a week to arrive in Australia East Coast. Warm to hot temps and storms.

Yes, I do believe that greed and academic arrogance can override basic caution.

I think something like this should be displayed in a more private domain. While sexual liberties and freedom is often a controversial subject. I personally think it looks more like something that would garnish the gates of sodden and Gomora.

Two more celebrities gone taken far too early. It really starts to hit's home how fragile is our mortality. I am just over 67 and forced to retire with my health, and these two people have passed away so young.
