As it turns out, I am as good a copier-and-paster as I've ever been. New Hampshire's state motto is "Live free or die." For a few years, Rachel Chen will not be living free.
*****************************
A North Andover woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges related to her role in perpetrating tech support scams that robbed elderly victims of thousands of dollars, authorities said.
On March 14, police in Allenstown, New Hampshire arrested Rachel Chen, 26, for attempting to take $22,000 in cash from a victim, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella's office. Chen and her coconspirators told the victim that he had a “virus on his computer, his financial accounts were compromised, and he needed to turn over the cash to protect it,” prosecutors said.
The victim was on a porn website when a pop-up message appeared prompting him to call Windows security on a provided phone number. A person with a “heavy Indian accent” who went by “David” picked up the phone. After the victim was told there was “pre approval” for a withdrawal from his bank account, he gave David remote access to his computer to “monitor and prevent future hackers.” The 60-year-old victim was instructed to withdraw money from his accounts and deposit it into various Bank of America “dummy accounts” to purportedly protect the funds.
Under the guidance of the Allenstown Police Department, the victim arranged a meeting to give a box to the scammers which they believed would contain $22,000, police said. Chen, using the code name “Alice,” then arrived to pick up the money. Investigators determined that Chen and her coconspirators scammed two additional elderly victims out of a total of $40,000.
Chen pleaded guilty to two class A felony counts of conspiracy to commit theft by deception and one class A felony count of theft by deception, according to officials. On one conspiracy count, Chen was sentenced to 2-6 years in New Hampshire State Prison, and to 7 1/2-15 years for the other. She was sentenced in the Merrimack County Superior Court. Chen was also ordered to pay $20,000 in remaining restitution after already paying $20,000 prior to sentencing. Chen has also been forbidden from working with “elderly, disabled or impaired adults, and serving as a fiduciary for any person."

All right, so this is interesting. This guy was technically proficient enough to find a porn website outside of like YouPorn or PornHub. You know the big ones to get to one of those weird ones. And believe me, I've been to a few of them that you have to get through a million pop-ups before you actually get to the video.
Yet he was still dumb enough to click on the pop-up and make the call and then allow remote access?
I mean I've been jonesing before to like see the video and like a bunch of pop-ups get in the way but I've never been so into it that I thought I had to call a Windows security site before I could get back to my porn.

Allenstown is just across the river from me, and next to the town I work in. It has an area called Bear Brook that has a reputation.

There was a 4.1 magnitude earthquake off the coast of York this morning. Everyone who is away in Florida, such as our neighbors and friends, are texting us, asking how things are at home.
We're in Costa Rica, so we don't know. But our cat sitter says our house is fine.

Earthquakes are by far the scariest natural disaster to make because all the other ones have at least some sort of warning like a tornado. You get a few minutes at least to get into your little basement or whatever, hurricanes you have like a week. Same with snow storms and stuff like that. Earthquakes are zero warning.
Also, how's Costa Rica treating you scotch?

This is the view from my window right now so I'd say we're pretty much on equal footing in terms of beautiful scenery.

I didn't feel anything in the Concord NH area. My in-laws in Rochester did though.

The video, posted three days ago on TikTok and other social-media platforms, appears to have been shot outside the Pembroke Hill School and shows a child wearing a pink winter jacket, pink boots, and a large white bunny mask standing on one side of a sign with the message "Jesus Loves White Children" on it.
On the other side of the signboard stands what appears to be an older teen or adult, wearing a "Ghostface" mask from the "Scream" movie franchise and waving, as the song "Heroes" by Casting Crowns plays (with the lyrics, "These are the heroes, just ordinary people. Laying down their lives like angels in disguise").
At one point the camera pans up to the top of a flagpole to show an American flag flapping in the breeze.

Sort of like State Highway 58 in Colorado to and from the Coors Brewery in Golden with the occasional overturned beer truck. There's a certain curve they always seem to miss.This is certainly one of the more entertaining reasons for Rt. 95 to get shut-down in our town.
