Thank you. Hi, Kim.
How can I prevent ChatGPT from using my conversations?
I've been watching... While listening to you, Andrew, and actually back in the day, your husband, on the radio for many years.
The nearly famous Barry Young.
Yes.
He's going to demand a recording of this that someone remembers him.
surprised how much email I get from that. Oh, and we love Barry, of course. Oh, yes.
So, yeah, Andrew used to work with Barry, too.
What steps can I take to secure my Facebook and Instagram data?
I actually, speaking of Barry Young, we still have the Facebook page active, and I'm still the administrator of it. It's usually twice a day I get a message. Where's Barry coming back? Where's Barry?
Well, how cool is that?
So, what's happening?
Well, my bank account's over the last two months were compromised twice. I am a joint owner with my mother's bank account. She's 90. And the first time was, and it's my opinion, we transferred a large amount into my checking account. And Wells Fargo called me, some banker that I'd never heard of, saying, oh, you have a large amount in your checking account. You should move it to your savings account. So he wanted me to come in, and I said, you know, it's Christmas Eve. I need to – I've got a lot of things to do, so I'm going to do it on my own. So I created an account, moved the money. When I was in getting a check for the earnest money, Wells Fargo called me and said, oh – Your account, there's a snapshot of your account circulating on the dark web.
We need to block all your accounts. So those got all blocked. That was on a Friday. Monday we went in, had everything, all new account numbers. Okay. Which they put the old account numbers on the new accounts and the new account on the old account. So I don't know how that was helping. But fast forward into February... Um, I had trouble logging into my Wells Fargo account.
