with my credit union already so that nothing would happen unless I approved it personally. And I don't carry any credit card other than my amazon prime. And that's one of those that doesn't even have a security code number on the back - it's a "never expire" card that you can't use anywhere else. We really don't use credit cards, thank goodness. It was more my social security/medicare that I was worried about, though I'm already actively drawing both right now.
They're suppose to be sending me a check via FedEx to cover the cost of software I'm suppose to buy from the company vendor. From what others on FB have said, this should be around $1300. I have no intention of even opening up the FedEx pkg. I'd like to send it back unopened. Is that an option? Has anyone ever refused a FedEx pkg? This would be my last bit of extraction from this "mess."
I did go buy a desktop PC when the one I was going to use as a "sandboxed" system died the night I set it up. But I just decided to keep it rather than taking it back. There ARE going to 87k IRS jobs opening up sometime soon, and at least some of those are going to be remote customer service positions. If I'm lucky, I could get one of those. I need something to cheer me up. And this desktop, while not anywhere near a top dog system, was a pleasant surprise for no more than I paid for it. I consider it an excellent buy; not one I'll run into again for awhile. So, I'll use it to cheer me up for now, and only add what I need to get it ready to go for a sandbox system, separate from the family network I have set up.
Meanwhile, maybe I'll call Blackboard. I worked with their software for 20+ years. Maybe they have something remote. I think rather than trusting something coming to -me-, maybe cold calling on companies is the way to trust things right now?
