N.C. Clerk Wins $200,000 by Mistake
Apr 20 11:01 AM US/Eastern

***Begin Quote***

CONOVER, N.C. (AP) – A store clerk’s slip-up at the cash register has paid off big time.

Wadburn Allen on Tuesday accidentally rang up two duplicate Powerball tickets for a customer in this western North Carolina town. At the end of the day, after she was unable to sell the second ticket, Allen paid for it herself.

The next day, Allen returned to the store and found the ticket matched all five numbers—earning her a $200,000 jackpot.

REMEMBER, remember, back in March when there was the big powerball jackpot. And, I wasted the two bucks buying the clerk’s “mistake”, Here it is! I’m telling you, if I hadn’t bought that mistake Mister Murphy (of Murphy’s Law fame) would have smacked me upside the head. As it was, he decided no lesson was required. Argh!

Here’s my post. http://tinyurl.com/24o7w7 Score one for blogging!

How do you think that customer felt sharing the jackpot with the “mistaken” clerk?

LIBERTY: “illegals” will still pour through.

You could station a sentinel along every mile, and “illegals” would still pour through. Add to that the Pacific coast, the border with Canada, and the imaginary line all these antis focus on, between Mexico and the United States, and eventually it will dawn on you that the only way to keep America secure is by (A) abolishing the welfare state, (B) enforcing the Second Amendment, and (C) running a strictly non-interventionist foreign policy. Every one of those measures is sensible and easy, but they’re career-enders for politicians and their hangers-on.

I don’t see separating the Gooferment from Education and honest money.

Maybe it’s in there somewhere. I’m sure LNS would get to it soon after polishing off the other three! ;-(

Inclusion is good for business

***Begin Quote***

Merrill now strives for diversity of thought, believing it will lead to innovation, growth and competitive advantage. Most of the writers about innovation also stress diversity of thought as a powerful source of innovation.

***End Quote***

Hey, I love Kent’s blog. And, he was kind enough to mix it up with me about my opinions on Merrill Lynch. It was sort of like watching the samurai carve up the turkey. Feathers every where.

Bottom line: It was interesting and educational.

YAHOO ANSWER: Unknown mortgage? Sure possible.

Friday, April 20, 2007

*** begin quote ***

Can someone take out a mortgage on your home without you knowing?

I got a phone call, left on answering machine, talking about a mortgage. I do not have a mortgage on the home . I am just worried that someone could fraudulently get a mortgage on my home. With people stealing identities how easy would it be?

*** end quote ***

ABOSLUTELY! One of the first indications of identity theft is when strange debts are recorded to “you”. In fact. there’s a horror story cited below. There’s a reason that most credit experts advise that you check your reports as often as you can. That’s discovery of bad things before they go to far. My credit card issuer verifies all purchase more than X dollars with a follow up call. Sometimes annoying but worthwhile. Depending up your state, you can get some reports for free, block access to your “identity” with a password, or other things that come with your location. As a NJ Notary, I am very sensitive to fraud. A notarized power of attorney is gold to a fraudster. I’d suggest that you guard your signature. I use one on “financial” documents and another as a throw away. That is when I charge at Home Depot, I use “fjreinke”. When I open a bank account, I use my full name “ferdinandjreinke”. It’s a little trick but I like it. Also, never use the same password everywhere. Also, when you give answers to security questions, lie. You have to remember your lies, but that a small price. I’d love to see the scammer’s face when he answers the security question “what’s your wife’s name” and gets told the right answer is the wrong one!
