JUMBIE SEZ: I think the era of Apple is drawing to a close.
We've been saying for awhile now that Apple needs to focus on its niche because a death battle with Google won't end well. Yet, the snafus keep coming.

TECH BULLETIN
_______________
2 Calls and a FB post in the Fairhope area today.
It looks like there's another outbreak of phone and pop-up scams going around. Phone calls that say they're from Microsoft, or an Antivirus company...or even your bank. Pop-ups declare your computer is infected and will be locked.

Remind People You Love: No one will EVER call you and tell you your computer is infected. No one legitimate. EVER.

If you are in doubt, HANG UP.
CALL DIRECTLY to the number you have on file for whomever they claim to be.
Check the papers that came with your computer if you can't find one. Call your bank directly, or your credit card company. Call whomever you KNOW that can help.
If you can't find one at all, it's SCAM.

Stay safe out there y'all. These guys are really pushy and intimidating.
Please help get the word out to those that are vulnerable. Thanx. 🤓

JUMBIE SAYS: Be safe out there folks. Spread the word to friends and neighbors in danger zones - safe shelter is nearby and open. Better to err on the side of caution. See you on the other side.
