recently I watched a commercial on tv that talked about how money has changed… it made me laugh as it has gone from being something that went into a piggy bank, to being paper you saved, to not being visible at all…

right now more and more places are not taking cash… it is becoming the new normal as stores do not want unsanitary money passing through their system…

I pulled out some old money; some of our current cash; and credit and debit cards…

I didn’t even dig out a cheque… something I used for many years, but barely do now…

I think about how we can put cheques into the bank by taking photos of them… how we pay bills and receive money electronically… how we send and receive money by eTransfer…

is this the final step to us becoming a cashless society…

trifecta…

been laughing all evening…

in October I upgraded my Costco membership thinking it would result in a bit of a refund…

recently I’ve talked with many people asking about their Costco refunds and been rather ticked that I didn’t get one… each person advised they had received a cheque in the mail…

today I finally got around to calling to see what was going on… they were obviously busy because I was on hold for quite some time…

eventually, I spoke with a lovely woman… she advised that the cheque was on the second page of my renewal letter… which came weeks ago… and which I opened but didn’t look at the second page, lol…

she was very kind and we laughed together over the whole thing… what a sweet woman… not a single person mentioned it came with the renewal letter…

I’ve also been waiting for an invoice from my amazing tax preparer but hadn’t seen one…

this afternoon my refund cheque arrived which reminded me to call to find out how much I owed them, but they were closed… then I searched through my email to see if I could find anything and came across an email with the invoice in it… it came minutes after the original one with my results… too funny…

and then, for the trifecta, I tried to open my new online app and deposit the cheque into my account, using my phone… I used an old password and eventually was blocked from the site… called the bank and I have to wait until tomorrow for it to reset… then I can try again, as I now remember the correct password, lol…

hacked…

bank, computer, hacked, police

the picture below is of my computer… well, where my computer should be…

my nephew has just had a look at it and has taken it away to be de-bugged…

usually it isn’t that big a deal but whoever got into it tried to talk my financial person, via email, into wiring money to Istanbul… he realized it didn’t sound like my emails and called me at work…

since then I’ve talked to the police, who apparently wouldn’t do anything unless they had got my money, the bank to be sure no one had found their way into my accounts, my email service provider to figure out what I needed to do with that account… and I’ve tried to contact the anti-fraud people but haven’t connected with them yet…

all the while feeling violated and sick to my stomach…

started when I tried to open a file sent by a friend, with what I thought were baby pictures… said they were sending something in Google doc… if you get something along those lines – don’t open it!

what was particularly worrisome was that my finance guy was emailing me back and I never got those emails… the tech guy told me that they take them right off the server before they get downloaded to a person’s phone…

big girl pants again, sigh…
