► Fraud Caught By Credit Card Company
January 8,
2012
An international shipping company based in Japan somehow obtained the
number and expiration date of one of my credit cards. They
attempted to bill the card for over 300 dollars. Fortunately,
Bank of America became
suspicious and blocked the transaction. They will also
be issuing me a new card with a new number.
I do not know how a Japanese company obtained my credit card
information, but I'm guessing it was most likely the work of a rogue
employee at a legitimate U.S. company. I believe rogue employees
are quite prevalent. One thing that always baffles me is
how I suddenly receive spoof emails from people pretending to be
Amazon.com or PayPal.com right after I conduct legitimate transactions
with those businesses. It can't be just coincidence.
To further protect my identity, I recently bought a paper
shredder. I needed a shredder that could handle daily mail, and
found one at a very reasonable price that works perfectly. If you
are interested, here are the details:
► Ousted Polka Organization President
Protests,
Starts Recall Petition
Saturday, Dec. 31,
2011
(Mashapotato, WI) Vladimir Siegheil, former president of the Polka Promenade organization, was seen collecting signatures at area
polka events this weekend in an effort to recall newly-elected
president, Mike Freedman. Siegheil was unanimously voted out of office earlier in
December.
Siegheil claims his recall petition has the support of the National
Polka Radio Broadcasters Union, an organization he admits he founded
last week. "This is a union
matter, now," explained Siegheil. "Union power! Union power! And
recall Scott Walker, too!"
As of yesterday, Siegheil's petition has gained four signatures, all of
them apparently family members. "I
would have five signatures by now, but my mom is still on the fence."
Siegheil needs to collect 140,000 signatures by the March 17th deadline.
As if a recall petition were not enough, Siegheil has launched a
protest movement which he named Occupy
Vliet Street. As with all of the other occupy movements
taking place across the country, we have not been able to determine the
exact purpose of the protest. However, according to Occupy Vliet
Street's Facebook page, the protest seeks to "...admonish large corporations, tax the
bejeezus out of the wealthy, and get me my job back!" Occupy Vliet Street's current membership
consists of Siegheil, four members of his family, and some homeless guy
named Kevin. "Again,"
added Siegheil, "my mom is on the
fence."
Ironically, the protest is seeking corporate donations and bequests
from the wealthy.
Siegheil currently serves as president of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter
Partei. When asked about his involvement with socialist
workers' organizations, Siegheil replied, "The shortest line to the American Dream,
my friend, is a soup and bread line."
