Bonjour everyone!
Weāve passed the year checkpoint, crazy eh? Our June has been pretty warm, weāve had a few weeks where we broke the 40 degrees celcius with humidex! and let me tell youā¦ thatās WAY too warm for me š¤£ very thankful to have bought a neckfan to wear at work in these occasions.

Juneās feels
This time, I fear I donāt really have anything to report ~
Ā
What Iāve read this month;
Iāve finished three books this month,Ā The Wall of Winnipeg & Me,Ā The worldās even dumber criminals &Ā Vous ĆŖtes cordiallement invitĆ©s.Ā Which makes one more Nonfiction & one french added onto my yearly goal, the last one had also been one from my Summer TBR.
Ā
What iāve watched this month;
Iāve been trying to finish Season 5 ofĀ Dexter, as we decided to finish our subscription to change to amazon Prime. Iāve also see theyāve addedĀ My Hero Academia up to season 5, so iāve been catching up on that too!

Juneās Highlights;
ā„ļø Just one post has been missed this month, as I had been working and feeling under the weather. besidesĀ Randomize my TBRs andĀ First line fridays, iāve posted:Ā My experience adding a kitten to a senior dachshunds home, Halfway reading stats, Am I succeesing reading more French books?.
ā„ļø Gaming wise, I had been obsessing overĀ Harvest Moon 64Ā aswell as going back on Sims 4.
ā„ļø As pissed as I am for this one, I need to warn you, I fell off victim of a fraud I didnāt knew existed. At first it all sounded legit, they call from your internet/phone provider to tell you they have a discount for you- didnāt asked for any passwords, SIN or credit cards info. The email looked horrifyingly legit and the guy sounded like a seller. Well spoken, kept asking me if I had any issues with the service..
What they do, they enter your account via the āpassword forgottenā, get you to provide the digits you were sent. They then upgrade and get a phone that is sent to your address; they call back explaining there was an error and to send it to another personās address. Fraudsters then get themselves a new phone at YOUR expenses š¤¦š½āāļø
Luckily I got to my senses when he told me I couldnāt access my account while the ādiscount was processingā, got in anyway and saw they indeed had bought a samsung phone. Called my provider to report the fraud and cancel that order ā nothing else was compromised thankfully as though my credit card is in registered prepayment, you canāt see the digits or anything. The phone was to be added to my invoice, that would then pass on my credit card as normal.

Julyās Spread;
Iāve shared them on this post instead šø

Did your summer had a good start?
40C ā gross! The humidity makes it way worse too ā Iām not looking forward to the rest of the summer.
Iām sorry to hear you were victim of fraud, but Iām glad you caught it in time and nothing else was compromised! I feel like itās been getting worse this year ā Iāve had to put up a fraud alert on my credit report after a former employer and my bank got hacked with information (and they were pretty back to back), though thankfully nothing got compromised either.
Oh hell, iknow š and theyāre getting smarter too. Ive heard they can duplicate your voice with AI now š¤¦š½āāļø so you canāt even trust the voice!
Fraudsters are just awful as the rob people not only of money but of confidence too!
I canāt believe they can sleep at night! Some people really donāt care š and as technology go on, more ways to get tricked infortunately
We just (supposedly) ended our heatwave. Some temp and dropped off a few degrees but still very hot.
The fraudsters are getting better and better at it but Iām glad you were able to catch it.
Ah my god.. yeah weāre into one right now- 38 celcius š suppose to rain all night & tomorrow dropping at 22. This is way too hot
