  1. Two things, one good, one…icky.

    It's always so exciting to get a new follower/subscriber! Thank you so much! A smile can't help but materialize upon my visage when I receive news of a new sale or follower. It really makes my day, it also helps make up for the bad…

    I got one of those scammy phishing emails today. So-and-so would like to feature your book in our reading group or whatever. You can probably hear my eyes rolling when I open those up. This one was more vague than ever, and full of mumbo-jumbo talk. At least it didn't look official at all, no need for me to waste some time to look things up.

    Well, I hope you're enjoying your day! I'm with my wife at the farmer's market in town, selling her amazing wire-woven works. Happy that we've got a light breeze going now. Happy Sunday, stay inspired!

  2. I’ve gotten three “Hello” texts from unknown numbers in the last 2 hours. I guess the pig butchering gangs are back in business! #GonePhishing

  3. Those random "misdirected" text messages I've shared with #GonePhishing have slowed way down. Why? The Thai army just freed hundreds of workers forced to work the scam from Myanmar!

  4. Why do so many romance scams involve a dinner invitation? Especially a specific one like seafood, Chinese, Thai, etc. I wonder if this is more effective against Westerners in general than against me? Or maybe it makes the message sound authentic?

  5. I’ve had all kinds of time lately but none of it for scammers…

  6. Now THIS would be a surprise!

    I guess the romance scammers are getting creative (and aggressive)!

  7. I was thinking of buying an evening dress, but just don’t have time for the design plan!

    Also, I’m not Chloe.

  8. Apparently Siri has not heard of Pig Butchering and Romance Scams…

  9. “Will Jim Play Golf” is your band name of the day…

  10. Yes, this is a completely normal way for people in North Carolina to ask their friends out for dinner.

  11. Ooh! Ooh! I got this!

    A decent person forced to work in a pig butchering operation by a criminal gang.

    How close am I?

  12. Was this before or after that vicious tiger attack?

  13. Are you really though? Or are you trying to romance scam or phish me?

    #GonePhishing

  14. This one actually feels kinda creepy/threatening…

  15. Is that the crossroads down by Dockery Plantation? Because you already got my brother Tommy there… 🎸👹

  16. Another #GonePhishing signature is the lack of spacing or double spacing after what I presume are mad libs style tokens. Something in their text generator is borken.

  17. Philomena, I sent you a message by carrier pigeon Didn’t you receive it

  18. Just got a phishing text from an SMS short code, followed by a phone call and robotic voicemail from the scammers. They have my name and account number. Fun! #GonePhishing.

    Searching for that toll free number only finds scam warnings, and I keep the debit card locked at all times.
