Take me money and run-a Venezuela (with apologies to Harry Belafonte)


Back in the 70's, my father of blessed memory was friends with the performer Harry Belafonte.

 

One of Harry's signature Calypso songs was lamenting about a woman named "Matilda" who took a man for all that he was worth... all his money - everything!  In the song he says:

"the money was just inside me bed, 
Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head

and then zap - it was gone!

Well now-a-days things aren't so blatantly obvious.

If you haven't heard about what happened at Equifax by now, you need to immediately take action...


Equifax Data - you know, the folks that do the credit reporting - had a huge data breach that could affect over 143 MILLION people!  It seems that over the period of a few months, Equifax had personal information including Social Security numbers, Driver Licence numbers as well as disputed claims information stolen.  This affects so many people that Equifax is offering free credit monitoring (a service that they usually charge for) to people who were affected by the data breach.  What you need to do is - RIGHT NOW - go to the listed website and see if you could possibly be affected by this.  I know that I was!!  I am on the watch list so I enrolled in the service.

Here is the site to go to to enroll and find out more information:


Don't be like the poor soul in Harry Belafonte's Calypso song...

"Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost
Woman even sell me cat and horse
Heya! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela"

If you are interested in hearing this fun song... here is a YouTube clip...

As always, I solicit your comments on the blog site.
