Things in modern life.....

Sometimes things happen in life which you don't want, don't need and have little or no influence over.  These are one of them, and their so called 'Courtiers' or Agents who sign you up - whether you want to or not! They then disappear like worms back in their holes and the next thing you hear of them is an entry on your Bank Account for their monthly fees.....If you're like me, you immediately block any further payments, and - imagine - you never hear anything else from them!

   They even open fake g-mail accounts, have fake visiting cards printed with adresses which do exist but the person is never contactable, not even at 2.99 euros a minute! 

All you get is an offer from the telephone company to make suggestions about others in your area who are in the same business..! Oh yes, I need that.

Take care - if your phone has an 'address book function' put anybody you will accept calls from into it. They will show up as 'recognised' with the name.....all others will show up as 'not known' or 'unrecognised' or even 'withheld'

   What is not understandable is that the law, at least in France, states that these Mutuelles should be 'profit-free'.......Yes, maybe, but first of all to get rid of the profits they give it all to various shady characters!

A quote from the link below:   'A mutual insurance company is an insurance company owned entirely by its policyholders. Any profits earned by a mutual insurance company are either retained within the company or rebated to policyholders in the form of dividend distributions or reduced future premiums.'

Bank Card fraud is certainly on the rise and is no 'little' fraud. We were victims of this particularly onerous crime but we were fortunate, the Police were able to find video tapes and images of the person responsible, a neighbour, 'best friend' of my wife! It is to be expected that the Bank Insurances who will reimurse us will also be involved with her!

And so life carries on, somehow - People make life difficult for themselves and others, but what can you do....they call it human nature!

For me, there is nothing Human nor Natural about these things!
