So, I tried to report the the phone scam. "We are either in a staff meeting or are experiencing technical difficulties... please call us back later." I did a few times. I gave up.

Tonight, it was an email scam, repleat with a Scotiabank logo. I tried to report it by accessing the RCMP reporting facility on their website. Don't bother. What a bunch of shite that is. Many questions, some of which ya can't really answer, and if ya don't fill em in, yer screwed... I mean, how do I know if this is an organized crime unit or what their affiliation is? WTF? I just wanted to report a potential crime. WHY do the RCMP make that so difficult? Are they getting a cut?

Word on the street is they can't find honest employment. Fawk, Gnu, where else can you be a crook, be licensed by the state to carry a gun, and collect a pension when ya shoot twelve people?

We have no law anymore. Fuck 'em.

Actually, I stumbled on an eaddy for the fraud unit so I forwarded the email to them and added the phone number of the phone scam.

I don't receive many, and those that do come are equipped with a warning note. Shaw Cable good at removing them.

Most banks and such type institutions have an email address now that you can forward the fraudulent emails to and they look into it. It's usually something like spoof@scotiabank.com or somethin' along that line. If you call the bank in question or look up their wedsite, you can get that email address. Forward yer phishing and fraudulent emails to them, and they will follow up on it.

Jesus put his money in the Bank of Nova Scotia eh? (Old Jimmy Flynn song)

Naw...the way I heard it, Jesus gave all his money away to the poor and he didn't bank any of it. That's why they killed him. They figgered he was settin' an example of "share and share alike" that was real bad for banks and rich people in general!

p.s. King Kong tried to do the same too, and that's why they killed him. Conspicuous unselfishness is not tolerated for too long in the present social order.
