Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Just one of Temu's online scams "5. Counterfeit goods scam

Temu allows third-party sellers to sell on its platform, and among these sellers lurk scammers trying to offload counterfeit goods. One of the reasons why Temu is so affordable is because some goods sold there might be of lower quality than advertised or differ from the description and photos online.

In some cases, products have been tested and found to be dangerous. Investigative reporter Ellie Flynn uncovered cases of products containing harmful chemicals for sale on Temu, including jewelry and children's clothing. In a different Temu fraud scam, a third-party seller was discovered to be selling counterfeit Air Jordans."

It looks like SeniorLearn is offline. I haven't been able to get into it since yesterday.

I've noticed, Patricia. I've had numerous packages that were scheduled to arrive a certain day, all of a sudden show up on my doorstep and/or tell me it is out for delivery days before it was originally scheduled to arrive. They may be trying to get ahead of the seasonal crush.

Also, I got wind of changes to Audible's method of payment to authors who have audio books published with them. On the surface, so the authors say, they get a larger portion of the profit, but then down in the contract, it changes the method of calculating said portion by adding the free Audio Library listings that are borrowed to the calculations, enough so that it actually reduces the net that the author gets. At least that is how I understand it. It doesn't affect the buyer/listener. I have noticed for a while now, that more recent audio book full prices have increased. I have been expecting an increase in membership fees, but didn't see one last year. I've been wanting to get off the Amazon merry-go-round for a while, but so far the variety of choices and lower prices still win out most of the time. I do not use Temu. Their prices generally seem way too low, and that make me wonder about the sources.

Good morning, it's warmed up to minus 35. However, we're to expect a large snowstorm starting tonight with 7 inches of snow, (We'll see...); with a plus 14 tomorrow. However, Sunday we'll plunge back into negativity.

That Amazon, dry goods package is here, has been since Wednesday but isn't listed as out for delivery yet. Amazon is losing its luster, perhaps gotten too big, monopolizing, and many of its goods aren't worth the price, seemingly third hand.

I always read the reviews before ordering and understand that many of the ones listed in various publications are those with borderline reviews. But then, it does deliver to your door, and you pay one yearly delivery price no matter how few or how often you order.
