Principles are for wusses!

—Yrs Trly finally got one of those “89 bazilyun bitcoin or else!” e-mails the other night.
Stupid me; I opened it, probably poisoning my iPhone forever.
It was in my iPhone’s “junk” folder, not on this laptop. Or maybe it is — I haven’t cleaned out my laptop “junk” in a couple days.
“What if your wife found out you been fooling around?” it screamed.
HELLO; to do that yer gonna hafta drag my wife up from Hell. She died eight years ago, destined for Hell according to her mother.
I also happen to know I never fooled-around over 44&1/2 years. I was given the opportunity, but passed. I was better off with my wife: the BEST friend I ever had.
“Code was planted in your smartphone which tracks all your naughties.”
HELLO, again. I hardly use my phone.
“It’s all those apps you downloaded. Some had buried tracking code.”
So far, seven apps, and two are airline checkin.
Two others are GoogleMaps® and Weather-Channel®. Fifth would be my bank, so I can online deposit with my iPhone.
I think someone else installed “Facebook-for-iPhone,” and I installed Facebook’s “Messenger.”
The e-mail was inordinately long, perhaps 1,000 words. I read a little. I just noticed single words, like “donation,” what they demanded to avoid spilling to my deceased wife.
And then there was the e-mail demanding I “log-in” to see why my Social Security was frozen. (I just got it!)
Failure to log-in constitutes fraud, and you will be jailed.” (Tremble!) Really? BAM! —In the trash!
Every once in a while I get e-mail notification my credit-card is frozen. (It worked at the grocery.)
The e-mail looked legit; full bank design and coloration, etc. But I phoned my bank. They requested I forward the e-mail to “abuse.”
Why are there so many predators any more? People that prey on little kids, the elderly, and women.
I think our prez sets the example. Grab some starlet’s crotch, while ripping off all-and-sundry. Rake in billions doing so, and fire anyone that counters.
I first heard it years ago: “rules are made to be broken!” = principles are for wusses!
