If you see an individual who apparently is making a bank transaction at the ATM, beware.  What this individual is really doing is placing a trap in the ATM machine to “Capture” the next user card.  Altering the ATM’s is a risky business, these individual works in teams.  The lookout warns of any possible eye witnesses or the next potential victim.  You approach and use the ATM machine, after they have set their trap.  You insert your card and begin your transaction.   Then all of a sudden your ATM card is confiscated by the machine, your confused and asked yourself why.  Then out of nowhere a Good Samaritan appears and pretend to helps.  What they are trying to do is, get your pin number.  This good Samaritan  will try to convinces you that he/she can recover the card, if you press your pin at the same time the Good Samaritan press “cancel” and “enter”.  If your card is confiscated do not accept help from anyone in the ATM area unless it’s a bank employee or use your cell phone and cancel your card immediately.  These Good Samaritan have your pin number and your card, they’ll withdraw everything from your account.  Be cognizance of your surrounding.  Take note, check the ATM slot before your insert your card.  If you see something is out of place leave the bank ATM area immediately and go to another bank.

I GOT FLOWERS TODAY

We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me.  I know he is sorry and didn’t mean the things he said, because he sent me flowers today.  I GOT FLOWERS TODAY, It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day.  Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.  It seemed like a nightmare, I couldn’t believe it was real.  I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.  I know he must be sorry because he send me flowers today.  I GOT FLOWERS TODAY, and it wasn’t mother’s day or any other special day.  Last night he beat me up again, it was much worse than all the other times.  If I leave him, what will I do?  How will I take care of my kids?  What about money? I’m afraid of him and scared to leave.  But I know he must be sorry because he sent me flowers today.  I GOT FLOWERS TODAY.  Today was a very special day, It was the day of my FUNERAL!  Last night, he finally killed me.  He beat me to death.  If only I had gather enough courage to leave him, I WOULD NOT  HAVE GOTTEN FLOWERS TODAY.  (Author unknown)
