Hola, familia. I know I might be a little late with this post but, I would like to share with you a pattern that always happens to me during february's specifically. Ever since I started middle school (and now I am in high school), I have always found February as the weirdest month out of the whole year. February consistently, for the past 5 years, have always been bad, or somewhat out of order, for instance, it can be simple as walking down the stairs every week in February since I started middle school I have fallen down a pair of steps. Usually, it's about one time a week. Also, in February's, my work flow seems to slow down but sudden constant not procrastination but occupation of projects, and lowering of regular grades etc. And the weirdest thing that happened to me this month was recently I almost was robbed of my computer (MacBook Air).
You see I had an ad up on Craigslist selling my computer and someone responded and wanted to see if it was still available... so I obviously responded "Yes, this Item is still available, are you looking to purchase?" He responds to me with an email saying "yes" but he is an international businessman and needs it to be shipped internationally (he was going to pay for the postage) and I get about $1,220 in the end. So it sounded like a great deal and fitted my income range and he wanted to pay through PayPal so I agreed and proceeded and I got an email from "PayPal" saying I got $1,350 in my balance (including postage) and I needed to give them the tracking number once shipped. I said "great" but, he didn't give me any info on if I was still paying for the postage and if I give it to UPS will I be charged so I go to the PayPal website and call them and 30 minutes later after setting up the account properly my balance was still at zero so the lady on the phone said could you read the email we "supposedly" send you and I read it. She said that the email was fraud and PayPal would never ask for the tracking number and send the postage, etc. All it added up because the postage stamp he gave me was false and everything. Well, curiosity is never a bad thing. For pictures of the emails he sent me hit the jump.
Welcome to February.
