And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT.

There is a settings menu within the site settings menu, and in there there is a field with *extra* form fills that I guess are filled in if you accidentally hit "save all" when you're on a website. I have deleted the offending entry and all is well with the world.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Help! My gmail account is getting flooded by spam messages for lists and accounts I never signed up for. How do I make it stop?

Mine too.

Ugh, sj. It's like 1000s of messages from 11:15 on today. I've spent the last hour and half dealing with it.

I'm only getting 5 or so but I didn't sign up for these.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Weird day all around. No GMail spam (yet...), but I got a voice mail on my cell in Chinese, allegedly from Warwick, RI.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The Chinese voicemail spam has been going for months, at least on my number. They may have focused on numbers associated with high Chinese populations.

I just got spear-phished on the phone for my credit card details. Successfully. The fuckers got my PIN form me. I feel so foolish. I cancelled my card as soon as I came to my senses. So far, it looks like there were no fraudulent charges.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Good catch, Tom! At least you recognized it for what it was, even if after the fact. Don't beat yourself up too much, these folks are professionals.

Me, I just spent half an hour on the phone with Venmo (pretty hard when you've lost your voice), and discovered that I had 2 accounts, somehow. Happily, that has now been resolved.

I had to call ABT and Shutterstock to cancel accounts I didn't create and never wanted. My spam folder count was 570-some this morning. After this nonsense it's up to 2200+.

Are there planets in retrograde or something?

DX, I've been getting them for months, with a DC area code. I'd love to know what they're saying.

I'm sorry, Tom. You caught it quickly, and that's good.

Consuela, yuck for voice-loss, but hooray for a quick fix on the Venmo issues.
