Never click on “unsubscribe” links in email that is spam – e.g. unsolicited email that you did not request.

I get a ton of spam email. Some of the most notable ones are from the following where the corporations are incompetent and unable to verify an email address prior to creating an account. You should never click on any link in an email unless you are 100% sure that you know the sender and it has not been faked. 

I suspect that many of these are legit that someone were created by someone who didn’t know their own email address. They may be or may not be, there is no way to know.

Why shouldn’t you unsubscribe? Because you never know if the link you are clicking to “unsubscribe” is an actual unsubscribe link or a link to a zero-day exploit which will then compromise your device – your iPhone, Windows computer, Mac, Android device etc.

You should only hit the “spam” or “junk” button for any email that you didn’t subscribe to. Even if it could be a legit company, don’t risk it.

Here are some of the ones I get the most junk from:

oceanstatejoblot.com – continual receipts etc (email@emailoceanstatejoblot.com), webteam@virginmedia.com – continual bills from the UK, imports@email.pier1.com, harborfreight.comMidwayUSA@email.midwayusa.com, @groupon.com, dallasnews.com, TalbotsCustomerService@e.talbots.com, cargurus@mail.cargurus.com, petrescuers@email3.homeagain.com, Ashley.Sommers@eleadtrack.net, redlobsteremail@em.redlobster.com, nytimes@e.newyorktimes.com, tdelong@drivecoyledeals.com, MazdaofFortMyers@s1.eautodealerhub.com, dv8@email.dv8fashion.com, rvera@familypowersports.com, noreply+b65178c684193384@formstack.com, enroll@aiuniv.edu, rai@email4.camel.com, batonrouge@pigtailsandcrewcuts.com, blakely@drivecoyledeals.com, Chevrolet@delivery.chevrolet.com, argurus@mail.cargurus.com, JulieParker@drivecoyledeals.com, tdelong@drivecoyledeals.com

Credit Karma incompetence

So someone fraudulently created an account at creditkarma.com using my email address.

  1. CreditKarma.com does NOT require email verification prior to creating an account and then starts spamming.
  2. There is no way to notify them of the error.
  3. CreditKarma “support” is incompetent: “We need your birth date in order for me to pull up the right account and assist you better. Please provide the needed information in order for us to proceed with the process. “. “please also provide a physical mailing address”.
  4. Given someone is using only my email address, none of my personal information will help them.

So, please beware of CreditKarma, they do not seem very competent.

Rights.com Quotation of the Day 08/23/2022

[T]he events of 1913 effectively transformed America from a constitutional republic into a centralized state. Instead of gold and silver being the coins of the realm, instead of workers keeping the fruits of their labor, instead of the people paying for the legitimate functions of government with indirect taxes, instead of the federal government minding its business overseas, America has become a superstate.By any objective criteria, the Federal Reserve has been a colossal flop. Instead of maintaining the purchasing power of the dollar, the greenback has lost approximately 95% of its value since the Fed’s founding.The Fed was also supposed to use its tools to banish the business cycle, or at l east ‘smooth out’ the economy’s ups and downs. Instead, the Fed has given us the Great Depression, and nearly a dozen business recessions, including the deep downturns of 1973-75 and the off and on downturn of 1980-1982. Murray Sabrin

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 variant A.30 is heavily mutated and evades mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies with high efficiency

The key takeaway:

A.30 exhibits a cell line preference not observed for other viral variants and efficiently evades neutralization by antibodies elicited by ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BNT162b2 vaccination.

In short, A.30 evades the mRNA vaccines and should be monitored closely.

AT&T sending me someone else’s info for 703-314-7724

Have to love how AT&T still is not bothering to require people to verify email addresses so today they sent me information about 703-314-7724 and their data usage.

They provide (a) no way to notify them and (b) not easy contact information.  Instead you have to waste time chatting.

So two things:
1. Whomever is at 703-314-7724, please update your email address at AT&T.
2. AT&T - require people to verify email addresses.

The Democrat party today as a union of socialists, fascists, and communist. In short, anti liberty statist authoritarians.

The Democrat party today as a union of socialists, fascists, and communist. In short anti liberty statist authoritarians, embracing censorship, cancel culture, anti-rule of law, and pro-chaos.

The Democrat party is the anti-truth, anti-honesty, anti-integrity party, but they are the pro power, pro-hate, pro-division (so pro-racism, pro-sexism etc) party.

Dividing people based on immutable characteristics is inherently evil and that is the modus operandi of today’s authoritarians.
