I know what a firewall is but i don't really know those programs. I succumb to "blogging coma" recently because I freaked out with my blogs [I have 9 by the way] because I lost some bling-bling there so i had to re-install templates, customize and widges all over again. it was killing me. i just wish i know what i was doing because i only learn some html code just by reading from other websites that gives tutorial and tips. then, eventually i learn how to shop online to and just any another kind of shopping... it's addictive [lol] oh well, blogging now is my way of life so i have no right to complain. but still i wish i have more knowledge like you do. geez… I know what a firewall is but i don’t really know those programs.

The next day, I got a very early morning call from my bank asking me where I am and have I been anywhere last night, I told them, "San Diego and never been anywhere last night except home", they told me, "we called because we suspect fraud in your account. you deposited money at 7:00 pm in san diego, but at 10:00 pm and 10:30 pm you had withdrawals at north hollywood, then, at tarzana. we stopped your account already, we would re-open it if you had affirmed you were in those 2 places, but since it is clear you were not there, then, we have to issue you a new account and card. We will refund your account with the unauthorized withdrawals." It did not take long for my account to be refunded, but anyway, after that, I really stopped from using ATM at night, I actually seldom use ATM since most transactions are paid automatically, and electronically. Frauds are everywhere, I guess, we do really have to be extra cautious. i am cautious when it comes to internet transactions involving bank or credit accounts, but it did not stop me from shopping on line since sometimes, the deal on line is a lot cheaper than on stores. thankfully, i had never been a victim of fraud yet. i was once a victim of banking fraud, but not on line, when i deposited a check at an ATM (at night, I totally forget I should have not done it at night), maybe, someone was able to spy my PIN, and several hours after that, i had 2 unauthorized withdrawals.

I'm not nearly as cautious as I should be. I can be careless sometimes. Im in the computer field as well but you seem more hardcore than I. I’m not nearly as cautious as I should be.

It doesn’t alarm me about a suspicious activity
