READER WRITES IN ABOUT EMAIL SCAM

READER WRITES IN ABOUT EMAIL SCAM

Dear Heloise: What you described in a recent column about an email scam happened to me three weeks ago. I made the mistake of believing what you described. The scammers did get access to my computer, and they scanned it. Aside from making my mortgage payment each month by phone call, I always do my banking in person. So, I was “told” that I had to withdraw $3,500 from the bank and deposit the money into a Bitcoin ATM machine that was located at a gas station in an unfriendly part of town.

State immigration law again on hold

The on-again, off-again state immigration law is once more on hold while the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals considers its constitutionality. Senate Bill 4 would allow state and local law enforcement officials to arrest and deport people suspected of entering the state illegally from Mexico, the Austin American-Statesman reported. The U.S. Supreme Court last Tuesday removed a temporary hold on the law, which allowed it to take effect for several hours before the 5th Circuit court again stopped SB4 from being enforced while it considers its constitutionality.
