Very sad news: Posted by Glenn Stewart:
IN MEMORIUM
I regret to inform everyone that HAYA was found dead beneath the Hegenberger overpass. A headless pigeon was found nearby. We speculate that she was struck by a car shortly after capturing the pigeon. This is a tough break for all of us--those who provided medical treatment, rehabilitation conditioning, observing following release, and everyone who thought about and cared about the outcome for this bird. These things happen every day but we do not know about it unless it is a banded bird--that someone finds and reports. Thanks to the work of many, she did not meet her end shot and starving or in a medical clinic, but with her face into the wind while carving out a piece of the San Francisco Bay as her own. With regrets, --glenn@scpbrgFly free, Haya.

Our credit union checking account was hit last week with a $29.95 electronic withdrawal by an entity called "Web World" with phone number 877-830-9381. Our credit union rep initially said I had to file a theft report with local law enforcement (as if the Sheriff of rural Geneva County, Alabama would give a damn about a theft of $30 from a credit union in Gainesville, Florida). After my rant (30-year member, etc, etc) the credit union put the money back into our account. A call to the 877 phone number reached a processing company whose rep identified the charge as a one month subscription to an adult web site (they could have at least given me a user name and password!). He denied any responsibility for the charge, said they are just middlemen, but promised a refund in 3 to 5 days. Seems odd that when I call the credit union with account questions, I have to provide my life history before they will talk to me, but a scumbag scammer who has my name and account number (no idea where they stole it) can just help himself to our money. Anyway, check your bank/credit union accounts carefully and often - this looks like an ongoing scam (see link) and I'm guessing these people hope we will not notice the disappearance of relatively small amounts of money. http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/8778309381 I had this happen to me about 5 yrs ago. I noticed a $29.95 charge to my charge account that was not made by me so I called the bank and after much explaining that it was not my charge and filling out all kinds of paperwork, the bank replaced the money. When the same charge appeared the next month, I started looking into what company was getting my money and I was shocked to find out it was a porno site located in S. America! I had to go through the same stuff as the month before to get my money back, cancelled that account, got a new card and the charges never appeared again. That's why I now check all my accounts quite frequently.
