Dear Editor:

WARNING " THERE IS FRAUD IN THE AIR!

Midafternoon on Monday, June 7, 2021, I received a call from a kindly older man named Frank. Aware that I subscribed to DirecTV, he asked if I would be interested in a new promotion.

If I was willing to pay the premium for two years in advance, I would qualify for a fifty percent discount; my cost drops from one hundred dollars per month to fifty. I accepted the offer; the payment process was awkward. I had to purchase three hundred dollars in EBAY gift cards and call them with the numbers. I followed through and completed the transaction.

On Tuesday afternoon, I received a call from Kaz with ATT / DirecTV relating a massive computer meltdown with all the recent changes lost. In order to take advantage of the promotion, I would need to reregister, send the funds and call in with the numbers again. Recognizing my inconvenience, they committed to sending me my three hundred dollars and a two hundred dollar bonus for the hassle. I fell for the line, bought cards and called in the numbers. The EBAY cards cannot be traced.

On Wednesday, I realized that ATT / DirecTV and I had been swindled. Tom, a high power, high pressure rep stated they could not write five hundred dollar checks because of a shortage of the smaller denomination checks; so, they would send me a seventeen hundred dollar check, if I sent a six hundred dollar fee to cover half of the increase then EBAY will pay the other half of the increase.

An executive at ATT / DitecTV shared with me that imposters had manipulated their phone system to forward their calls to the swindle lines. In sharing this incident, my sister-in-law, Jeanne, stated profoundly, "These scams always take advantage of the elderly. " If nothing else, I got a laugh " I think!

"A Father Shouldn't Have to Wait"

A father shouldn't have to wait,

Until it's Fathers Day,

To be told how much we love him

Each and everyday.

A father shouldn't have to wait

For a little thanks and praise,

Cause father we're thankful for you

And will be all our days.

So we're sending you a little poem

As just a little token,

To tell you of the loving thoughts

That are so seldom spoken.

And then we want to thank you too

for all the loving things you do,

Not only on one special day

But each day the whole year through.

So no wishes are more loving

Nor thoughts so warm and true,

As these sent to say how very much

We truly love and appreciate you.





Our Father's Love

It was his good advice,

His helping hand,

His words of encouragement, too.

It was all the warm

And thoughtful things

Dad took the time to do.

It showed his special

Love for us

Each and every day.

That's why our love

For him is more dear

Than words could every say.
