Telephone Scam Alert
At least one resident here at KoH has received two telephone calls where the caller said they were from Amazon Prime and wanted to alert them that $200 had just been charged to their Amazon account. If that charge was in error, the recipient of the call should push 1 (or some number) on the phone. The resident did not push anything but hung up and a bit later checked their Amazon account from their computer. Needless to say, in neither case was such a charge listed in their account. Those examples convinced the resident that the caller was “phishing” for information from them and that the call was bogus. Hence this posting to alert others who might receive such calls.

COVID Humor. Really?
Jokes from
The HUMOR Project's
Laughing Matters E-mail Newsletter
Thanks to Joel Goodman, Founder & Director, The HUMOR Project, Inc.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 (and its mutations) are still with us. We need our sense of humor to stick with us. Here are 19 invitations to laugh in the face of COVID-19. Thanks to Jenny Mirling, Taffy Colker, Nancy Fairbanks, and Linda Nyquist for getting us started.
Why do they call it the novel coronavirus? It's a long story...
2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.
Due to the quarantine, I'll only be telling inside jokes.
The World Health Organization has announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out.
I don't think anyone expected that when we last changed the clocks that we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone.
I'm not buying a 2021 calendar until I see a trailer.
Do you ever go out and while you're out, you think, "This is exactly why I don't go out!"
I can't believe I forgot to go to the gym today. That's seven years in a row now.
OK, if we're going to have one-way grocery aisles, then I'm going to need a passing lane.
Question: If 2020 was a drink, what would it be? Answer: colonoscopy prep.
During the coronavirus daze, I'd like to thank whomever told my mother that WTF means, "Wow, That's Fantastic!" Her texts are so much more fun now.
Being stuck at home, as I watch the dog chasing his tail, I thought dogs are easily amused. Then I realized I was watching the dog chase his tail.
The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors.
Every few days, try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
I need to practice social distancing from the refrigerator.
Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask and ask for money.
On average a panda feeds for approximately 12 hours per day. This is the same as an adult at home under quarantine, which is why we call it a "Pandemic."
The amount of jokes about coronavirus has reached worrying numbers. Scientists claim we are in the middle of a pundemic.
Snow White is down to 6 Dwarfs. Sneezy has been placed in quarantine.
