    ...^^^... Some of those credit card solicitations (telephone and mailed) are just trying to get your SSN and important info to steal your identity and credit.

    Had an article in the newspaper here ... where a bunch of people were ripped off after giving their personal info out to those people.

    Yeah, I had that thought also. I always think its some scam when they call you. The way I look at it is, if I want to get a credit card I'll call the specific company.

    https://www.foxnews.com/world/6-year-old-boy-mauled-by-pack-of-dingoes-at-australian-tourist-spot

    A young boy was recovering after he was attacked by a pack of dingoes at a popular Australia tourist spot Saturday.

    Michael Schipanski, 6, was flown to a nearby hospital after the attack at Fraser Island, which is off the coast of Queensland, according to Sky News. The boy was swimming with his family when he attempted to run up a sand dune and was met with the pack of dingoes, a breed of dogs native to Australia.

    The boy’s father, Mark, said the animals “wanted blood.”

    “I heard him screaming, bone-chilling screams of terror and fear and pain, and turned around and saw him set upon and dragged down by this pack of dingoes. It was out-of-control, vicious, terrifying,” Schipanski said, according to Sky News.

    Mark said his son had “severe puncture wounds” and bite marks on both of his legs. He said one dingo was trying to drag the boy down the dune. He managed to pull the dingo off his son.

    Fraser Island, a World Heritage site, is known for its dangerous dingoes and authorities have warned tourists about the animals.

    A 9-year-old boy was killed by one of the animals in 2001.

    Famously, Azaria Chamberlain was killed by a dingo in August 1980 when she was 2 months old. Her body was never found. Her parents were initially charged and convicted in her death before a piece of the baby’s clothing was found near a dingo lair. Their convictions were overturned.

    As long as tourists will feed them to draw them close they will see humans as a food source and lose their fears.

    I remember goito Yellowstone in the 1970's when i was a kid and seeing a few dumbasses approach buffalo out in a field to get pictures. Just walked up to about 10-15 ft. My Dad said something like "you're about to see natural selection at work". Luckily for the idjuts a ranger came along and got them back to the road. Not my picture but this is the idiocy;

    Yeah, your right about that. Problem in QLD is Fraser is a wild dingo habitat and tourists are constantly reminded not to feed them, leave trash out or behind and the grubs still do it. Australians are already dealing with political parties trying to close access to the island completely and again the “kill all the dingos” nonsense is gaining volume. Just like tourists nearly killed the GBR, they’ll likely do their best to force the destruction of a lot of fauna so they can get their pictures for instagram.

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/woman-pr...ed-caregiver-into-sexual-gratification-police

    A Texas woman pretended to be autistic earlier this month in order to con a caregiver into sex, Pearland police revealed on Thursday.

    Rachel Childs, 29, allegedly solicited a caregiver online by pretending to be her autistic twin sister – despite not actually having a sister, a news release said.

    Childs reportedly paid the caregiver to pick up her “twin sister” at Childs’ house in Pearland, Texas, take her to the caregiver’s house, and then return her the next morning.

    Childs then allegedly engaged in sexual conduct toward the caregiver, which made him suspicious, Houston's KHOU-TV reported. The caregiver investigated Childs, learned her real identity and alerted authorities, police said.

    Childs turned herself into Pearland police on Jan. 3 and is now out on bond, the Houston Chronicle reported. She has been charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault and indecent exposure, the news release said.

    Pearland police request that anyone who believes they were victimized call 281-997-4151. Pearland is about a 25-minute drive south of Houston.
