Day 2571 Scammed and fully loaded

28th August 2024

My first task of the day was to put a call in to my credit card company. I was looking at my monthly statement last night and noticed two transactions that I did not recognise.

The first was a modest amount of a few pounds, the second was about ten times larger, I can only imagine what other amounts would have occurred if I hadn’t checked.

The phone call was short and ended with my card being cancelled which was a bummer as soon I was planning to book my flight back to the UK. Now I have to wait for the replacement card to be sent to my cottage in Bradford on Avon and for Ryan and Louise to send it out to me.

I don’t know how these things happen, the only time I let the card out of my site was at a recent restaurant, I can’t believe it could have happened there as I’ve been there many times without a problem.

So with my money returned and my card useless we had to go shopping.

I was in a particularly dozy mood as we didn’t get much sleep, people were annoying me. ladies standing in front of the chiller doors stopping me collecting the items we needed.

I’m glad we survived and got out quickly, otherwise I might have bitten someone’s head off.

Late afternoon I had to drive to the shooting range to meet up with James our ammunition pimp, he had purchased a thousand rounds for us through “ his contacts”

I didn’t realise how heavy they were until he handed me the box, my hands and head dropped towards the ground, it was only my hidden strength stopped me looking like a complete burke.
