I got a call from scammers. I guess they had spoofed the number from my CU, the same number I've been calling for 35+ years, I know it by heart.

I don’t think I’ve actually placed a phone call to my credit union for 20 years.  See website and app for 99.999% of info.

I’m not proud to admit I once dismissively hung up on a government regulator because he had a thick East Indian/Asian accent and sounded like one of a million cold call solicitations that came from that part of the world back in the day(late 90’s)  He called right back and I was about to go off when something clicked and I realized my error.  Not sure how far he could have pushed being blown off but it certainly would have been my job and a bunch of money.  

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away, I managed subcontracts for a company that did environmental remediation at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska.  So we were buying hazmat suits, test wells, you name it. I accidentally fat fingered a vendor number and some lucky port-a-can vendor got a $75k payment that was supposed to go to someone else.  The guy actually called me and sent the check back.  Go figure.

Tomorrow is the Great Test of whether I rewired the Square Reader correctly. It's the only one that auto-deposits. Others like Venmo let money sit there until I ask for it.

Assuming I don't give it away in a scam.
