facebook and internet scams

so much for the deceptive blog-style advertising on social networking sites... posing as a blogger, advertising on facebook and through google, misrepresenting an offer for a free sample of a teeth whitening product, and fooling not only me, but my target fraud protection people, i learned a bit more about internet scamming tonight after two hours on the phone... so there may be, out of principle, another mark of refusing to pay a bill on my credit report because i paid the visa card everything except the scammer's charges, closed the visa account, and told three target visa reps that i will not be paying any further charges so they can choose to do as they wish, but i'll ignore any requests for payment of the disputed amount... after putting that in writing, i am done (remind me to read this if i mention it with more than a dozen words later cuz you know i will cuz, well, that's what i do)...

freaking world, humans really suck - everybody just trying to rip everybody else off with a smile as if they are your friends, saintly, even... tell it you your gods on sunday and believe you're believed because nobody calls you on your hypocrisy because everybody else is pretending they aren't either, just like you...

meanwhile, in my world, another day of crunching numbers for the kids so the people with all the education can figure out how to get the people with minimal education to treat the kids right while the kids are pushing every limit they can... life in the psychiatric schoolyard, the psychotropic playground of the many messed up minds (but then, they are human kids with human parents, so what should we expect... not too cynical tonight, aye?... or is this just thereal... yeah, come on, prove me wrong... i double-welcome you)...

grinning all the way :)
