Romance Scams Are On the Rise

Before Valentines Day
romance scams are on the rise.
Beware of a stranger talking sweet,
invading your cyber world.
Flattery will get you talking,
texting soul secrets and desires.
Phishing is his only business,
and after you are truly hooked
he'll reel in your bank account!

PS: He's really not a sheikh from Dubai!

If he were a loaf, Jesus, THE PERFECT One

Phone and E Mail Scams

I received an exciting soup mail
I’m minted, with wealth off the scale
But I know it’s a fraud
By some bloke from abroad
These fraudster’s should be put in jail

Got a call from a ‘Microsoft’ guy*
His fake story I did not buy
Said he’d turn off my ‘puter
And re-route my router
He told me just lie after lie
