We Are Alive! June 28th, 2023 Fighting Fraud

Not the most fun thing in the world, but it's got to be done. I got up early this morning and to my surprise, there was a knock on the door. I opened it and there was and Instacart delivery person with one item: laundry soap.

Did I order that? No. Did Lauren? No. Did one of the children start typing on the iPad? Nope. It must have been a gift! Right?

I check my email and see an order from Instacart. It wasn't a gift, it appears I bought and paid for it! Oh no. My account must have been hacked into!

I check and sure enough, there were three more orders lined up to be delivered later today. I explained the situation with Lauren and we both agreed, we've been exploited!

I canceled the other orders (we were about to get 5 packages of chocolate chips, 12 cans sparkling water and some hair conditioner) and we got on the phone with instacart. We immediately changed our password and began investigating.

Whoever was playing with our account, forgot to change the delivery address... or else it was on purpose to see if we'd notice. But a SECOND address was added... (the plot thickens) it was in California. Confirmation of non-authorized activity in our account. We got an actual person on the line from Instacart and we explained the situation. They didn't believe we didn't place the order at first, until we explained in detail what we discovered.

Thankfully I was able to cancel the other orders and delete the California address. With the changed password and other security measures, we should be good for now.

Not what I expected to be doing this morning!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Bank Bailout Special!

It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

"Politicians like problems because they can claim to have solutions... but their solutions often create even more problems."

Thank goodness you got it delivered to your address to have noticed it and rectified it immediately.

It’s really sad that these issues are becoming more predominant which points to us to be extra careful with our online dealings.

Do have a splendid midweek💕

I'm amazed how unconcerned the people at instacart were, like this happens all the time.

That's no good, Benjamin. However, this is the problem of our modern life. Some people will show their skillfulness in an evil way.

Something good happens within the bad things. The first delivery came to your address. Otherwise, it would go unnoticed, God knows how many days/weeks/deliveries.

So sorry to learn about your hacked account and thank God you were able to run the check and report accordingly. Hopefully, the measures taken will put off the hacker too.

I know we are not supposed to hate, but I hate hackers. I am sorry this happened to you. I have had my bank card hacked twice that I caught and the bank said they caught some before I was charged. One was someone in Mexico watching movies. The bank reimbursed us and issued a new card.
