NEW CURRENT WAYS OF STEALING FROM YOUR CREDIT CARD! BE CAREFUL FRIENDS, WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS SO ANYTHING GOES!!

Current ways of STEALING...

ESPECIALLY LOOK AT SCENE THREE...

Be sure to read Scene 3. Quite interesting.

This is a new one. People sure stay busy

   Trying to cheat us, don't they?  Make your kids watch this one too!

SCENE 1.

A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'Funny, I thought I locked the locker...   Hmm, 'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to

make sure all was in order.

  Everything looked okay - all cards were in place...  A few weeks later his credit card statement came - a whooping bill of $14,000!

   He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did    not make the transactions.

> Customer care personnel verified that there was no mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen...

'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled

out the credit card, and yep -  you guessed it - a switch had been made.  An expired similar credit card from the same

bank was in the wallet. The thief broke into his locker at the gym

and switched cards.  Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he

did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.

  How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?  $9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?

  Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell' with some credit card companies. It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to a big one!

============================

  SCENE 2.

A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.

The bill for the meal came, he signed it and the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along.  Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough,

though, he actually took a look at the card and,

lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.

  He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.  She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.  All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and

took out the real card.

> No exchange of words -- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology....(This scenario actually happened to me at a local restaurant - Falls Terrace - between the waitress and the front desk cashier.)

Verdict Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.  Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or  the card is taken away for even a short period of time.

  Many people just take back the credit card without

even looking at it, 'assuming' that it has to be theirs.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE,

DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD

EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!

==========================

   SCENE 3:

Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in. I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course,

is linked directly to my checking account.

The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.  While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialling.

  I noticed the phone because it is the same model I have,

but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a picture.  He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.

  Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of,

oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close

attention to what he is doing..

   He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.  About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.  Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact

that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.

  Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened.

  Needless to say, I immediately cancelled that card as I was walking out of the pizza parlour.   All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.  Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.

  Notice who is standing near you and what they are

doing when you use your card.  Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.

  FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN THINK OF.

LET'S GET THE WORD OUT! JUST BE AWARE.

   Never let your card out of your sight...

check and check again!

Scary isn't it...

THE UK'S "BREXIT" FROM EUROPE WILL NEVER HAPPEN ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR THOM BROOKS, THE HEAD OF LAW AT DURHAM UNIVERSITY!!

Hi Folks,

We need to continue to pray. Have a read of this and you will see what I mean.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/brexit-article-50-eu-referendum-uk-will-never-leave-says-top-academic-a7214926.html

We should accept Brexit will never happen! Top academic says Britain will never leave the EU because Boris Johnson and other leading Brexiteers did not realise the full complexity of the process, a leading expert has claimed. Professor Thom Brooks, who is head of Law at the University of Durham, said Article 50 is unlikely to ever be invoked, and if it was it could "let down the next generation". Prof Brooks, who advised the Electoral Commission on the wording of the referendum question, said:“I do not think Article 50 will be invoked.

"BANKS ARE PREPARING FOR AN ECONOMIC NUCLEAR WINTER" ACCORDING TO SPRIHA SRIVASTAVE FROM "CNBC FINANCIAL NEWS"!!

Banks are preparing for an ‘economic nuclear winter’!

Banks get ready for 'economic nuclear winter'  Monday, 29 Aug 2016 | 7:30 AM ET | 00:39

The first half of 2016 has been a roller-coaster for financial markets. A combination of uncertainties surrounding the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union and weaker-than-expected corporate earnings results across the region means a tough second half looms.

European banks, in particular, have had a very tough six months as the shock and volatility around Brexit sent banking stocks south. Major European banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse saw their shares in free-fall after the referendum's results were announced. In the U.K., RBS was the worst-hit, with its shares plunging by more than 30 percent since June 24.

The current uncertainty over when the U.K. will start the process of quitting the EU has banks on tenterhooks. But a source told CNBC that banks are "preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation."

Speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic, a source from a major investment bank told CNBC that financial services firms have put together a strategy in place that takes into account the worst-case scenario that could happen by the end of this year.

"This could mean triggering Article 50, referendum in other European nations leading to a break-up of the euro or sterling hitting below $1.20 or lower. The banks are ready for anything now," the source said.

The source further explained that the challenge in 2016 is nothing compared to when the Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 and the banking sector is this time a lot more resilient. "Markets hate uncertainty and the events this year have unfortunately created a lot of mystery around what is going to happen next."

Meanwhile, a common theme across second-quarter results has been a warning of uncertain times ahead. From big investment banks to mining firms like BHP Billiton and Glencore to the auto sector, companies have cited uncertainty and volatility in markets as a reason for weak results and have warned that the second half will be challenging.

Following that, a number of banks have cut their exposure to equities due to the volatile nature of stocks in the first half the year. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs downgraded stocks to "underweight" as part of its 3-month asset allocation citing global equities to be at the upper end of their "fat and flat range."

"The second half of the year is going to be very challenging for U.K. corporates," Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA told CNBC via email. "Not only are they contending with possible recession in the U.K. and more prolonged slowdown, the uncertainty factor surrounding Brexit leaves planning for the future a very difficult task."

Erlam further explained that a number of companies won't know for a while what the future of their operations in the U.K. will look like.

"I imagine many are already putting plans in place for moving operations abroad should the U.K. lose access to the single market. With companies less likely to invest and recession very possible, the second half of the year isn't looking great, particularly for those companies with greater exposure to the UK."

But while challenges continue to loom, some analysts have said it was important for companies to get on with their business.

"I think the main problem for the second half of the year is the uncertainty caused by Brexit, though that's likely to persist for two years or more, so I suspect companies are likely to roll up their sleeves and get on with their business," Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown told CNBC via email.

Khaif explained that the challenges will remain but it is important for industries like banking for instance to focus on maintaining their solvency ratios and "de-risking and simplifying their businesses."

PETER HASSON FROM "THE DAILY CALLER" REPORTS ON THE LEAKED GEORGE SOROS DOCUMENT WHICH CALLS FOR REGULATING THE INTERNET TO FAVOUR "OPEN SOCIETY" SUPPORTERS!!

Leaked Soros Document Calls For Regulating Internet To Favour ‘Open Society’ Supporters!

The Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) is part of the Open Society Foundations, Soros’s secretive network of political organisations. According to the organisation’s website, “The Open Society Justice Initiative uses law to protect and empower people around the world, supporting the values and work of the Open Society Foundations." The call for international control of the internet is part of a 34-page document titled “2014 Proposed strategy” that lays out OSJI’s goals for between 2014 and 2017.

The leaked document was one of 2,500 documents released by “hacktivist” group DCLeaks. As reported by The Daily Caller, the section of DCLeaks’ website dealing with Soros has since gone offline for unknown reasons. TheDC saved a version of the 2014 strategy before the site went offline.

In the document, OSJI argues that international regulation of the Internet is needed to protect freedom of expression.

“Our freedom of expression work furthers the free exchange of information and ideas via the media and internet, and proposes to begin to address the free expression and association rights of NGOs. The internet has been a key tool for promoting freedom of expression and open societies — as in the Arab Spring — and is a potential safeguard against monopoly control of information in such places as China and Central Asia,” page 19 of the document notes.

“But it is also presenting under-addressed challenges, including lack of regulation of private operators that are able to decide, without due process procedures, what information is taken off the Internet and what may remain. A ‘race to the bottom’ results from the agendas of undemocratic governments that seek to impose their hostility to free speech on the general online environment. We seek to ensure that, from among the norms emerging in different parts of the world, those most supportive of open society gain sway.”

One of the “Program concepts and initiatives” listed in the document is to “Promote — by advocating for the adoption of nuanced legal norms, and litigation — an appropriate balance between privacy and free expression/transparency values in areas of particular interest to OSF and the Justice Initiative, including online public interest speech, access to ethnic data, public health statistics, corporate beneficial ownership, asset declarations of public officials, and rights of NGOs to keep information private.”

Another initiative is to “Establish states’ responsibility to collect data necessary to reveal patterns of inequality, and define modes of collection that are effective and protect privacy.” (RELATED: UN Internet Agenda Tied To George Soros)

Throughout the document, OSJI’s position appears to be that private actors on the internet must be brought under international control in order to prevent them from suppressing each other’s freedom of expression and speech.

One of the organization’s goals is to “Establish soft law and judicial precedents safeguarding online free expression, including adequate protection against blocking of online content, intermediary liability, user standing, and related issues.” (RELATED: FCC Cites Soros-Funded Neo-Marxist-Founded Group 46 TIMES In New Regs)

“One weakness of current efforts to promote online free expression has been the relatively sparse and uneven use of the international human rights law framework, including protections for free speech. This may be due to the paucity of coordinated efforts to generate hard law, and some soft law, in this area, both domestically and internationally,” the document states later, before noting the opportunity for the organization to influence “international free speech law in the online environment.”

“One reason for this failure may be that the leading digital rights groups/movements have developed separately and at a certain distance from the traditional free speech groups (though this is beginning to change). The Justice Initiative, working with other OSF programs that fund leading players in both sub-fields, is well placed to help bridge that gap and promote the use and development of international free speech law in the online environment.”

The U.S. is set to cede control of the internet on Sept. 30, stoking fears that the internet could eventually be subject to the United Nations instead.

OSF previously called DCLeaks’s release of the documents “a symptom of an aggressive assault on civil society and human rights activists that is taking place globally.”

"THE ISLAMIC MAHDI IS COMING BACK IN A SPACESHIP" ACCORDING TO A LEADING IRANIAN AYATOLLAH!! SPECIAL WND EXCLUSIVE REPORT HERE BY BOB UNRUH!!

WND EXCLUSIVE

AYATOLLAH: MAHDI COMING BACK IN SPACESHIP!

'Super-modern vessel' to have sound 'of thunder and its power and speed is that of lightning'

 BOB UNRUH

A prominent Iranian ayatollah says the Mahdi, the end-times Muslim savior, will come back in a spaceship with the sound “of thunder and its power and speed is that of lightning.”

Actually, his recent explanation wasn’t completely clear.

“It is like a spaceship and like other swift and amazing space vessels that are found [only] in stories today, but nobody knows how close [these vessels] come to truth and reality. Maybe it will be like [a spaceship] but in any case it is not a spaceship,” he said.

His description was discovered in an Iranian news report by the Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and analyzes media reports in the region.

The comments came from Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, who operates his own website to promote his views.

He was respoinding  to a question about the “arrival of the Mahdi – the Hidden Imam who is the equivalent of the Messiah in Shiite Islam,” MEMRI reported.

“He explained at length how the Mahdi’s arrival will be high-tech, as befits the modern age,” MEMRI said. His comments included:

• “It was said by Imam Sadegh [the sixth Shiite imam, circa. 700–765 C.E.]: ‘When our Lord arrives, the land will be illuminated by divine light, and [God’s] creations will no longer require sunlight.’ The interpretation of this saying is that the issue of light and energy is expressed in that both in daytime and nighttime powerful lights can replace sunlight.”
• “Today we use satellites [and by means of them] cover extensive areas, so that anyone with a receiver can use them… In the time of the Mahdi’s arrival, there will be a powerful apparatus, that may be difficult for us to imagine today, for transmitting images so that the entire world is visible like the palm of a hand. Without worldwide control by an intelligence [apparatus], there can be no unified global regime [as foretold that there will be when the Mahdi arrives], and no peace, security, and decency… Therefore, God grants him this tool… Once again I stress that this is a routine matter, and that it is inconceivable that it will come about based on a miracle; rather [it will come about] by means of ordinary tools that are based on scientific and industrial advances.”
• “Another hadith states: ‘A bestial vessel is reserved for your Lord and Friend [the Mahdi]. What is the meaning of ‘bestial vessel’? A cloud that is loud as thunder and fast as lightning, upon which he rides. Be aware that soon he will [appear] riding on clouds, and ascending to seven heavens and seven lands.’ This does not refer to an ordinary cloud, as clouds are not vessels that can be sailed upon in outer space. [Clouds] travel near the atmosphere that is close to the earth, and they cannot attain great altitudes. Therefore, the meaning here is an extraordinary and very swift vessel that looks like a dense cloud in the sky; its sound is that of thunder and its power and speed is that of lightning. When it moves, it slashes the heart of the sky with extraordinary force, and in this way it can advance to any point in the firmament. Therefore, this is a super-modern vessel, and there is none like it today. It is like a spaceship and like other swift and amazing space vessels that are found [only] in stories today, but nobody knows how close [these vessels] come to truth and reality. Maybe it will be like [a spaceship] but in any case it is not a spaceship… “
• “When the Mahdi rules, the pure will have the height of freedom, and the criminals will be monitored – maybe so much so that sound waves will be detected from the walls of their houses, and when necessary it will be possible to understand what they say at home.”
• “Perhaps a century ago, this statement [about detecting sound waves] would have seemed like an unimaginable miracle. Yet today, some countries monitor traffic on the roads using radar, with no police present. Therefore, it is clear that during the global revolution of the Mahdi… there will be an unprecedented expansion of industry and technology.”
