Alexa plays
As my clock chimes
Reminding me of slower days.
When Father Time
Kept a steady pace.
Many have vanished without trace.
This rhyme
Will not save
Me from the grave
And if people should find
My poetry
It will not profit me.
Yet I must write
For the night
Will end all my poetry
Over the last 10 days, I have received 2 emails purporting to come from WordPress and asking me to renew my domain. The below is the text of the latest scam, and I’m reproducing it here in order to bring the scam to the attention of my followers and other WordPress users:
“Auto Payment ID Declined
Dear Valued Customer,
We attempted to process your automatic payment for your domain renewal at WordPress.com, but unfortunately, your payment method was declined.
To avoid any disruption to your website or email services, please update your payment method or renew your domain manually as soon as possible.
Renew My Domain <https://soyfix.com/log/log/login.php>
Thank you for choosing WordPress.com.

Kind regards,

You will see that the link to renew the domain does not contain a WordPress web address. This is a big red flag indicating that the email does not come from WordPress and should be deleted.
If you have any doubts about the status of your domain you should log into your account on wordpress.com to check its status. Please never click on a link within an email purporting to come from WordPress.
A young lady who is really most cerebral
Said, “your poetry it is so very terrible!”
I said to her, Jane,
You have a great brain,
But your manners they are really most terrible!”
You left your umbrella behind
For me to find.
I remember, it had ducks.
I let you know.
But we did not go
Down that path again.
Still I remember the ducks
And she who came
To me in the rain.
K Morris - Poet
