My LOL for the day

...or my "beware of" for the day.

I logged into my work comp today (which has been giving me numerous amounts of email telling me how to achieve a long lasting erection) and I got this email from Chase bank. I knew right off the bat this thing was fake because I've never had a Chase account my entire life. It looked all official which is how I can see newly computer savvy grandmas get duped into thinking this is real. Here's what it looked like.
I laughed to myself and said let me just see how the hell these people manage to steal identities.

Armed with a fake account number and social, I clicked on the link. Once again, the page I was directed to looked official enough, but the disconnect was instead of security information, I came upon a survey rating Chase's service. "Nothing new" I thought since banks do ask this from time to time. One dead giveaway was the URL. This page was made as a sub folder to a main website that, of course, was forbidden. The funny thing is that I could completely bypass this survey to get to the "important" info.

The next screen tried to convince me this was a "secure" connection. That's great and all, but we're missing the cute little lock icon that appears in the bottom bar of the browser. I had to enter account type, account number, credit/debit card number, three digit "security" number and social security number; not even my name! Another flag went up when my made up credit card number didn't have an issue. I would assume that a Chase website would recognize that the four digits that indicate if it is a chase card were missing.

Then the kicker came when the next screen came up. I was asked for my four digit pin number for my card! Now unless you've been living in a cave in Siberia, everyone knows about identity theft. Who the hell would give this piece of info up? Who the hell would give ANY of this up? I typed in another fake number and was told my "reward" for answering the survey will be credited to my account.

It was funny to me how stupid someone can be if they did fill this out with all their info. I say they freakin' deserve it.

Then Vivacious solved the case and sent an email to the television station. She sent this email with a pic attached:

Dear NBC News Team,

I am afraid that I was unclear in my last email, which is the
forwarded message below. I would hate for my initial message to not
fully represent the investigation that was conducted in the search of
the true Crighton Leprechaun. Just who was this character of the
night? Now the truth can be revealed. I am supplying your news team
with everything it needs to move forward in this operation (see
attached lo-res jpeg). This evidence is ready for public display on
screen. Please contact me, or my PR team (cassidy.alexander@gmail.com)
for a hi-res version to print in the local (maybe even international?)
papers.

The hysteria can end once the truth is out. As you can see, the
similarities in the sketch are an uncanny match to that of the
authentic photograph of the Crighton Leprechaun. Face shape wouldn't
even measure on a scale, its that good. The eyes which were once so
peculiar when introduced to us in the sketch now seem to make perfect
sense. And the Crighton Leprechaun's location of a tree makes us shout
a resounding, "YES!" after viewing the authentic photograph.
Leprechauns don't live in trees on a normal basis. But now, we see why
one might think they do.

If you need more information or evidence, even DNA, contact me.

Look here for the pic.

She got a song made about it and a tshirt link from the news station.

Happy Friday!

Yes....Yes...

I have been running around like a chicken with her head cut off. One thing after another. Never fear, I've got some stuff for you.

No pics to show you kids from last night's mag party. I slacked 'cause there was a tremendous LACK of variety to shoot. Therefore it wasn't much fun to shoot. Thug after thug after thug wearing grand ma moo-mooooos. Somewhere a granny is shivering naked. All I have to say is as much as I make fun of the little Bedford brats, I'd rather go to their cheap ass events than a makin'-money-all-women-are-hoes club. I dedicate this song to you from a band with (what I think) is one of the best indie band names to date:
Say Hi to Your Mom: Pop Music of the Future

Also in my universe, I braved the line and headed into Trader Joe's. I'm so glad we finally got one in the city. The only thing that helped me not gain the freshman 15 were the cheap salads and awesome frozen food from that place. I've never seen the shelves so empty but I somehow managed to get everything but one item that I wanted. So for all of you who thinks you can't eat well cheaply, go down a block from the monster Whole Foods and leave their $4 heads of lettuce behind!

I know all of you have seen the Nat Port rap vid. Not diggin' the hair cut tho. I hope V was worth it, but from what I hear it doesn't even get near the book.

BUT, have you seen The IT Crowd? I'm so pissed there's only 6 episodes. I just hope they don't try and take this show and make a crappy American version of it.

Instead of ranting about shit like I always do like why I'd like to sue the MTA for emotional and physical damages from riding the L train, or why I'm going Amish because at least that's the only thing that's still hardcore and original, I'm going to leave you guys with a little something fun: Live Simpsons

oh and one more thing.

I know you kids have seen it, but for those who haven't:
Genius!

You guys HAVE to read this

I don't know why I still get applications for credit cards. My credit is insane with school loans and two WAY overdrawn credit cards since freshman year that I'll never pay off. So when I get these apps that I know they'll laugh when they stamp denied on, I tear them into tiny pieces and throw them out. Well, now I'm scared.

Beat It!

As promised, here are my photos from last Friday. Good ol' booty shakin' time at the new home of MisShapes: Don Hills. The crowd was interesting to say the least. B&T crowd mixed with fashionistas and boys who looked like they watched a little too much America's Top Model and modern dance.
Enjoy!
