Bonjour everyone!
We’ve passed the year checkpoint, crazy eh? Our June has been pretty warm, we’ve had a few weeks where we broke the 40 degrees celcius with humidex! and let me tell you… that’s WAY too warm for me 🤣 very thankful to have bought a neckfan to wear at work in these occasions.
June’s feels
This time, I fear I don’t really have anything to report ~
What I’ve read this month;
I’ve finished three books this month, The Wall of Winnipeg & Me, The world’s even dumber criminals & Vous êtes cordiallement invités. Which makes one more Nonfiction & one french added onto my yearly goal, the last one had also been one from my Summer TBR.
What i’ve watched this month;
I’ve been trying to finish Season 5 of Dexter, as we decided to finish our subscription to change to amazon Prime. I’ve also see they’ve added My Hero Academia up to season 5, so i’ve been catching up on that too!
June’s Highlights;
♥︎ Just one post has been missed this month, as I had been working and feeling under the weather. besides Randomize my TBRs and First line fridays, i’ve posted: My experience adding a kitten to a senior dachshunds home, Halfway reading stats, Am I succeesing reading more French books?.
♥︎ Gaming wise, I had been obsessing over Harvest Moon 64 aswell as going back on Sims 4.
♥︎ As pissed as I am for this one, I need to warn you, I fell off victim of a fraud I didn’t knew existed. At first it all sounded legit, they call from your internet/phone provider to tell you they have a discount for you- didn’t 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 “password forgotten”, 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 person’s address. Fraudsters then get themselves a new phone at YOUR expenses 🤦🏽♀️
Luckily I got to my senses when he told me I couldn’t access my account while the “discount was processing”, got in anyway and saw they indeed had bought a samsung phone. Called my provider to report the fraud and cancel that order – nothing else was compromised thankfully as though my credit card is in registered prepayment, you can’t see the digits or anything. The phone was to be added to my invoice, that would then pass on my credit card as normal.
July’s Spread;
I’ve shared them on this post instead 🌸
Did your summer had a good start?
40C – gross! The humidity makes it way worse too – I’m not looking forward to the rest of the summer.
I’m sorry to hear you were victim of fraud, but I’m glad you caught it in time and nothing else was compromised! I feel like it’s been getting worse this year — I’ve 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 💀 and they’re getting smarter too. Ive heard they can duplicate your voice with AI now 🤦🏽♀️ so you can’t even trust the voice!
Fraudsters are just awful as the rob people not only of money but of confidence too!
I can’t believe they can sleep at night! Some people really don’t care 💀 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 I’m glad you were able to catch it.
Ah my god.. yeah we’re into one right now- 38 celcius 💀 suppose to rain all night & tomorrow dropping at 22. This is way too hot
