The world of mobile app game seems to me like the Wild West. There’s a whole lot of ads for them promising all sorts of things and very little of it (I’m being nice and not all-inclusive) seems to be true. We start by seeing an ad that possibly features some typo describing the mostContinue reading ““Fake Games” Inside Fake Game”

Eclipsed by Scammers
On a day that was to be dedicated to celebrating the solar eclipse (though only partial here), I was instead shadowed by scammers. Three tried their routines on me but I wasn’t patient enough to play with the first two. Here’s #1, a classic: I do wonder what “Roman dishes” means. Italian? #2 also usesContinue reading “Eclipsed by Scammers”
Dueling Scammers (Part 2)
In my previous post I wrote about a failed “wrong number” scammer. This one was better, and could handle the improv longer. And thus ended another convo. And may I add: 🥰
Dueling Scammers (Part 1)
One day, within 25 minutes of each other, I received two of those scammy “do I have the right number?” kinds of texts. However, in spite of the temporal proximity of the messages, the senders were very different. We begin with the failure. At least “she” asks if it’s my phone number. But her abilityContinue reading “Dueling Scammers (Part 1)”
Line!
When directing actors who are working on getting off book (having learned their lines), I always tell them the only four-letter word they are allowed to use to call for a line is: “Line!” And speaking of actors and lines, have you ever worked with an actor who memorized their lines so well they can’tContinue reading “Line!”

Ree-diculous Texts
I’ve been saving some of the more absurd forays into text spamscam for a blog post, and I think it’s time to present the latest collection. Some try pretty hard, and others give up way too easily. This one was in it to win it, with photos and gifs. I didn’t respond to Hello KittyContinue reading “Ree-diculous Texts”
Report from the Trenches of Spam
I just wanted to present a couple of recent forays into the Spamiverse. I guess these must work sometimes because they keep trying, but it seems like anyone should be able to see through it. I mean, if you tell me you are from the USA but then say something like this, I have myContinue reading “Report from the Trenches of Spam”
Playing With The Scammers
Don’t get me wrong: offer me $6.5 million and I’ll take it. But that has to be a legitimate offer, and not a sudden out-of-the-blue scammy message on WhatsApp, the top choice of scammers. Here’s a recent “conversation.” I don’t feel the need to add any commentary, other than wondering if it’s a person orContinue reading “Playing With The Scammers”
Here Comes the Judge!
Are you a good judge of character? “Order in the court! Order in the court!” “Guacamole with chips!” [Rimshot] So either I need some more caffeine, or I’ve already had enough, because my mind began to free associate on the word “judge,” with memories flashing by as in a flip book. But I do thinkContinue reading “Here Comes the Judge!”
