What a perfectly ironic misspelling

Precushion sounds intriguing. I always feel like I need to gradually work my way into being relaxed.

I got one of these. Put my PIN backwards to send a distress signal.

I've received a few from someone claiming my CC info on my netflix account was not accurate and I needed to resubmit, pin and security code included..........over email.

Maybe I'm old fashioned like this, wallet in my BACk pocket and all, but not exactly sure how this would burn my stomach.

I would use that form as toilet paper and mail it back to them.

What always gives it away for me is all the words they use to try to ramp it up. “Terribly!”, Urgent, Uppermost. No real corporations ever talk that way solely because of the liability and PR concerns. They downplay things.

Got one yesterday on email from “GoDaddy” about a change in terms for my email account. It looked real and I almost clicked the virus link to “confirm receipt” but the only thing that made me cautious was their demands that I respond “immediately!” aor they “would terminate my account.” The urgency was what gave it away.
