Amazon driver refuses to deliver wine to 92-year-old grandmother without ID

Talk about taking your job seriously.

An Amazon delivery driver refused to give a customer a bottle of wine that was delivered to her because she did not have ID – despite the fact that she’s 92 years old.

The customer, Louise Wilkinson, was shockingly refused the bottle of Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry that her grandson Carl Jonston arranged to be delivered to her U.K. home, The Sun reports.

When the grandmother, who insisted she was of legal drinking age, explained that she did not have a driver’s license or a passport, the delivery driver took the package away.

The driver tried to deliver the wine bottle again the next day, but when Wilkinson showed him her bus pass, which has a picture of her on it, he still refused to give it to her.

“She is clearly old enough to drink and the second time she did have photo ID, but a bus pass isn’t on Amazon’s list of accepted identifications,” Jonston, the grandson, said. “I can understand that if you are lucky enough to look around 18 you should have to show ID. But my gran is 92. No one could be in any doubt that she’s old enough to drink.”

AMAZON DISMISSES REPORT ON DELIVERY CRASHES, INSISTS SAFETY IS TOP PRIORITY

He added: “But why can’t they be like in the supermarket where they just accept a visual check if you are clearly over 18. I don’t see why Amazon drivers can’t do the same.”

Amazon’s policy regarding purchasing alcohol states that valid photo ID and a signature from the recipient are required upon delivery for all customers.

“If the recipient is not over the age of 18 and has not been able to show valid photo identification, the item will be returned to Amazon for re-delivery the following day,” the policy says.

Acceptable forms of photo ID include a passport, driver’s license, military ID card, a biometric immigration document or a photographic identity card bearing a national Proof of Age Standard Scheme (PASS) hologram.

Jonston said his grandmother was a bit disturbed by the incident, as “people that age get anxious when things don’t go to plan.”

He said he’ll instead seek a refund from Amazon and deliver the booze himself.

Hackers publish Ring camera accounts, urge other hackers to record users in their homes

Hackers keep targeting Ring accounts.

Hackers have been publishing thousands of Ring camera account credentials on the dark web and forums frequented by cybercriminals, according to reports.

In some cases, hackers do it just for the laughs, “in the hopes that someone else would hack Ring users, hijack their accounts, play pranks, or record users in their homes,” according to a report at ZDNet.

These reports come after a Mississippi mom told Fox News that someone hacked her Ring surveillance cameras in her daughter’s bedroom and talked to her.

In an appearance on “Fox & Friends: Weekend” with host Rachel-Campos-Duffy, Ashley LeMay, who works overnight shifts as a nurse, urged the security company to have “more of a response because this is…happening to people all over.”

Ring, which is owned by Amazon, said in a blog post on December 12 (and updated on December 18) that it was “made aware of an incident where malicious actors obtained some Ring users’ account credentials,” including usernames and passwords.

The criminals modus operandi is to steal credentials from a non-Ring service and then reuse those credentials to log into Ring accounts, according to the blog post.

<p>That jibes with reports which call this technique “credentials stuffing” — i.e., if the username and password is matched to a Ring account, hackers publish it online, according to ZDNet.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, when people reuse the same username and password on multiple services, it’s possible for bad actors to gain access to many accounts,” Ring said.</p>
<p>The company said it has taken “appropriate actions” to block bad actors from known affected Ring accounts and affected users have been contacted, adding that it is encouraging Ring customers to change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication.</p>
<p>One list published on hacker forums claimed to contain credentials for 100,000 Ring accounts. Ring told ZDNet that of the 100,000 credentials only 4,000 were for valid Ring accounts.</p>

You’re not paranoid. Your phone really is listening in.

Is your phone listening in on you?
(iStock)

The scene plays out like a thriller: you pull out your phone, and you see an ad for AirPods.

Wait a minute, you think. Didn’t I just have a conversation about AirPods with my friend? Like, a real conversation, spoken aloud? Is my phone… listening to me?

Why, yes, it probably is. When you use your default settings, everything you say may be recorded through your device’s onboard microphone. Our phones routinely collect our voice data, store it in a distant server, and use it for marketing purposes. This fact was kept quiet for some time, but this kind of targeted ad is gradually becoming common knowledge.

As a “prime” example, tap or click here to see what Amazon does with the voice data it harvests and how you can stop Alexa from listening.

Your phone isn’t the only device that’s watching and listening to you. The FBI warns hackers can take over your smart TV if you don’t secure it. Tap or click to learn how to take control of your privacy on your TV before it’s too late.

Before you ask, yes, it’s perfectly legal, and developers claim not to abuse this practice. But that doesn’t mean you have to like it; many people are startled to see ads for things they have only spoken about, not search for on their browsers. Luckily, there are ways to stop your devices from eavesdropping on you.

Whispering (marketing) campaigns

When you think about it, smartphones are equipped with an arsenal of monitoring equipment: multiple microphones and cameras are designed to absorb audio and video. While these tools may be useful for creating media, they are also a goldmine for advertisers.

In mid-2018, a reporter for Vice experimented to see just how closely smartphones listen to our conversations. To test his phone, the journalist spoke pre-selected phrases twice a day for five days in a row. Meanwhile, he monitored his Facebook feed to see if any changes occurred.

Sure enough, the changes seemed to arrive overnight. One of his test phrases involved going “back to university,” and by the next morning, the reporter saw ads for summer courses. He then changed up his test phrase to “cheap shirts,” and quickly saw advertisements for low-cost apparel on his Facebook feed.

This report triggered a wave of studies on the surveillance effects of social media platforms.

While not every study provided clear answers, a general sense of agreement on the matter was reached due to hints in the User Agreements of several apps and social media platforms. Tap or click for an easy way to spot what’s hiding in the User Agreement of your favorite platforms.

These user agreements explicitly state recorded audio may be used for targeted advertising purposes. Interestingly, such practices aren’t against the law. This action allows tech companies to push the privacy boundaries even further to encourage us to buy things we don’t need.

What can I do about being spied on?

If you’re not comfortable with targeted ads, there are ways to mitigate your smartphone’s spy power. That said, you may lose access to some handy features like wake words and voice assistants, so you’ll have to decide whether these features are worth sacrificing your privacy.

The biggest vulnerability comes from the “always-on” feature of most voice assistants. To pick up wake words like “Hey Siri,” the mic needs to remain on at all times – which means your phone is always listening.

The best place to start taking your privacy back is by turning off the “always-on” microphone features on your handset. Here’s how to do it.

Deactivate “Hey Siri”

Apple has come under fire for transcribing audio recordings of Siri users. The data is locally stored on your device and is uploaded once Siri is activated, so disabling this feature will at least make your Siri inputs shorter and more specific to your requests.

To turn off “Hey Siri,” navigate to your iOS device’s Settings, followed by Siri & Search. Then, toggle Listen for ‘Hey Siri to Off.

Disable “OK Google”

Every time you use “OK Google,” or use another voice-controlled function, your query is recorded, and the transcripts are saved to your Google account. Tap or click here to learn how to remove these recordings and other info you don’t want Google to store.

If you use Google Assistant on Android, open the Google Assistant Settings. Say, “OK Google” or hold down the phone’s home button, then tap the file drawer icon found on the upper right-hand corner, and tap the three-dot menu. Select More and choose Settings.

From this point, you’ll want to scroll down to the devices category and select your phone, then in the Google Assistant section near the top, tap the blue slider button to change it gray, which turns off Google Assistant.

Disable mic access for apps

Disabling the always-on microphone features from your phone isn’t enough for some apps like Facebook. The social site makes exceptions to the rule and will keep on listening unless you make the change.

This is just one of the many privacy settings you really should be using if you have a Facebook account. Tap or click for more ways to lock down your profile.

Here’s how you can turn audio recording off for Facebook, but the same steps apply for any app that uses the microphone:

iPhone

Go to Settings >> Facebook >> Settings in the sub-menu. Slide the Microphone switch to the left, so it turns from green to white. That turns it off. Alternatively, you can go to Settings >> Privacy >> Microphone then look for Facebook to do the same. Note that you can toggle the mic on and off for other apps, too.

Android

Open Settings, then choose Applications and Application Manager. Look for Facebook, and tap App Permissions, then toggle the microphone off.

Keep in mind, turning off Facebook’s microphone access will affect and disable certain features like Live Video. If you’re going to use these features, you will have to toggle the mic back on. Follow the same steps above, but make sure the toggle is set to On, and you’ll be good to go.

Bonus Tip for More Know-How:

Amazon has previously come under fire for violating the privacy of its users with Alexa. The famous voice assistant was revealed to be recording users’ inquiries and storing the recordings for human reviewers to analyze. The exposure caused Amazon to make several drastic changes to its products and privacy policy.

10 top gadgets of 2019

As 2019 is winding down and we enter the holiday season, it’s time to look back at the best devices — the ones that stood out in a crowded field. Some of the top picks are a bit surprising, others won’t be quite as shocking — all are at the top of the gadget food chain.

1. Oculus Quest ($399)

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with the Oculus Quest, mostly because VR has fallen out of favor. Yet, new games like “Beat Saber” and “Vader Immortal” are outstanding, and the device does not require a high-end computer — it is all self-contained.

2. Panasonic Lumix S1 Camera ($2,500)

My favorite high-end camera of the year snaps brilliantly clear photos at 24.2-megapixel in full-frame (which means the image is not cropped). The camera shoots in 4K video as well, and the shutter snaps fast photos. A big bonus: You can also take 96-megapixel fine art photos.

3. Apple AirPods Pro ($249)

My top pick for audio gear, the Apple AirPods Pro were a major leap forward in terms of audio fidelity. My music sounded clear and crisp, and the noise-canceling features work as advertised. A nice bonus is that the case can be charged wirelessly using a charging pad.

4. Tie: Google Pixelbook Go Laptop ($649) or the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 Laptop ($1,250)

Laptops come in all shapes and sizes, but the Google Pixelbook Go is slim, trim, and powerful for basic tasks like writing and web browsing. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is designed for higher-end apps and business users, lasts 17-hours on a charge and has a high-end webcam.

10 USEFUL GADGETS FOR THE MODERN OFFICE

5. Amazon Echo Auto ($35)

A surprise pick, the Amazon Echo Auto is a speakerphone for your car that also adds Amazon Alexa. You can ask the bot to play your favorite album or check the weather. In my tests, the device worked well even with road noise in the background, and it’s easy to install.

6. Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar Smartwatch ($1000)

Any smartwatch that lasts 21 days on a charge is worth considering. (Most models like the Apple Watch only last one day.) The Fenix 6x Solar is packed with features, including a heart-rate tracker and even a golf course tracker.

7. Wahoo Fitness KICKR Bike ($3,500)

Does the world need another fitness bike? Absolutely, if it is this high-end. The Wahoo KICKR Bike can adjust the grade of the bike as you ride. The virtual shifting tech can match the gear ratios, the number of gears, and more for the bike you normally use.

8. Apple iPhone 11 Pro ($999)

A surprise hit because of the long-lasting battery (in my tests, sometimes lasting two full days on a charge) and, also, the camera can shoot wide-angle, normal, or zoomed in with a quick screen press. It’s more durable now, too — especially if you drop one in water.

7 BACK-TO-SCHOOL GADGETS FOR AN EPIC COLLEGE DORM ROOM

9. Tile Slim ($30)

The Tile Slim is thin enough to fit in a wallet, but the big news from 2019 is that the device now lasts for three years and has a wider 200-foot range. I use one to track the location of my wallet and, with the premium service, your phone will chime if someone steals your wallet.

10. IKEA Symfonisk ($179)

Of all the Wi-Fi speakers I tested this last year, the IKEA Symfonisk was the best one. It sounds sublime, and the bonus is that it is also a lamp for the living room. I liked being able to sync multiple Sonos-powered speakers all around my house, too.

4 ways to get cash back on Amazon

These are Kim Komando’s top tips for getting cash back on Amazon.
(Reuters)

For many of us, “holiday shopping” has become “searching Amazon.” Wish lists and automated suggestions make gift-giving a carefree experience. You can conceivably find presents for all your loved ones without stepping outside.

An Amazon Prime membership makes an easy stocking stuffer. Tap or click for 15 perks that come with an Amazon Prime membership.

Combing through the endless product listings can be exhausting. That’s why I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. Tap or click for my trusted product reviews and buying guides on all kinds of tech from smartwatches, phones, laptops, to headphones.

Since you’re shopping on Amazon, you might as well get money back for doing it. Let’s get started.

1. Use the credit card Amazon wants you to use

Amazon often advertises its credit cards, promising cash back. There are a lot of benefits that come with an Amazon card, but they vary by type.

First, there is the Amazon Reward Visa Signature card. With it, you’ll receive 3% back when you shop at Amazon and Whole Foods Markets. You’ll also get 2% back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores. Plus, you get 1% back on all other purchases.

The second option is for those who are Prime members: the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card. With this card, you’ll get 5% back when you shop at Amazon and Whole Food markets, which is 2% more than non-Prime members receive. Just like the card for non-Prime members, this one will also give you 2% back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores. All other purchases will earn you 1% back.

Amazon also lets you use your cashback balance on future Amazon purchases. Just link your card to your account, and when you buy stuff on Amazon, it’ll give you an option to apply your cashback balance to the new purchase.

As you shop, Amazon ads may pop up more often than usual. Tap or click here to turn off those nosy advertisements.

2. Other credits cards that offer rewards

There are plenty of other cards out there to choose from that offer rewards on Amazon.

For example, Discover has a cashback offer that will help you save money. You can earn 5% back on up to $1,500 in purchases in various categories throughout the year, along with 1% back on general purchases.

During the holiday shopping season this year, Amazon is one of those qualifying categories. From October through December, you’ll get 5% back on all purchases made through Amazon.

Another is Bank of America’s Cash Rewards Credit Card. You can earn 3% back in the category of your choice. Choose from gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, and more. If you want to get the 3% back from Amazon, you’ll need to select online shopping as your category. You’ll also get 2% back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs, plus 1% back on all other purchases.

3. Use a cash back website

Cash back websites are relatively simple. Just sign up for a free account, and when you complete a purchase with any of the site’s participating merchants, you get cash back. It’s just like using a coupon, except you earn money back after the purchase has been successfully completed and tracked.

A key example is TopCashback. You can earn cash back on your purchases. You can browse the TopCashBack site and choose from thousands of retailers, including Amazon, and exclusive cashback offers. Click through to your favorite retailers and shop like normal. The retailer pays TopCashBack a commission for your purchase, and it adds this as cash back to your earnings.

You can earn more by using the TopCashBack app where you’ll find coupons, in-store coupons, and instant account access. The app is available free for both Apple and Android gadgets.

4. Find rebates on Rakuten

If you’re not familiar with the name Rakuten, you may recognize “Ebates.” When Ebates re-branded, it took on the name Rakuten.

You can sign up free with a Gmail account or link to Facebook. There are typically signup bonuses, such as a free $10 Amazon gift card or similar promotions. Once you’re in, you can shop at over 2,500 stores and earn up to 40% back on your purchases.

Stores pay Rakuten a commission to get eyes on certain items, and Rakuten shares the commission with you in the form of cash. You can also get cash back through Rakuten when you shop Amazon. Tap or click to learn more about Rakuten and other apps that pay you to shop.

There are some special terms to adhere to, including cash back is only available for select departments, and it’s not available on gift cards, Prime memberships, wine, or more.

Bonus Tip: Shop Amazon’s Warehouse Deals

For second-hand goods, Amazon Warehouse stocks lightly used products that are still functional, but don’t qualify as “new.” Conditions range from “Refurbished,” “Like New” and “Very Good,” down to “Acceptable,” and the product information includes notes on what defects or blemishes to expect on a particular item.

As you might expect, you’ll find a treasure trove of electronics from video games and widescreen TVs to smartwatches and Bluetooth speakers.

This marketplace does have its risks. The items aren’t in perfect condition, and most electronics do not come with warranties. Amazon does honor a generous return policy, and you can sometimes procure a warranty or protection plan from SquareTrade, depending on the item.

AOC blasted for ‘misleading’ tweet taking ‘victory lap’ over new Amazon jobs in New York City

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was slammed on Friday night over what critics say is a “misleading” tweet touting a new report about Amazon bringing jobs to New York City.

Last summer, Ocasio-Cortez waged war against Amazon after the retail giant struck a deal with the state of New York to open a second headquarters in New York City, which would have brought 25,000 jobs to the city, in exchange for $3 billion in state and local subsidies. Ultimately, Amazon backed out of the deal.

However, it was reported Friday that Amazon was leasing a 335,000-square-foot office space in Manhattan that is set to bring more than 1,500 jobs into the city.

Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the news on Twitter.

“Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway – *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Maybe the Trump admin should focus more on cutting public assistance to billionaires instead of poor families.”

She also posted a picture of herself sitting on the couch with the caption: “Me waiting on the haters to apologize after we were proven right on Amazon and saved the public billions.”

AOC CALLED OUT AFTER CLAIMING TRUMP FOOD-STAMP REVISIONS MIGHT HAVE LEFT HER FAMILY ‘STARVED”

Many took exception to the “victory lap” the freshman congresswoman made and pointed to the math of the jobs that were still lost from her battle with Amazon.

“Another day, another viral misleading tweet from AOC. Amazon is leasing office space in Manhattan for 1,500 employees, which is 6% of the 25,000 jobs its HQ2 in Queens (her district) was supposed to add,” The Daily Caller’s Peter Hasson said.

“AOC could have had 25,000 jobs in her district from Amazon, but now, Amazon is only offering 1,500 jobs using rental space OUTSIDE her district. She’s taking a victory lap for a 94% loss in jobs in NYC and 25,000 job loss in her district. Socialist logic is incredible,” political strategist Caleb Hull wrote.

This isn’t the first controversy Ocasio-Cortez stirred up on Twitter this week.

The Democratic “Squad” member received pushback Thursday after claiming her family “might’ve just starved” had the Trump administration‘s tightened requirements for food stamp recipients been in place when her father died in 2008.

Critics claimed the freshman congresswoman misrepresented the new rule, pointing out that it applies only to childless, able-bodied adults under 50.

PELOSI SUGGESTS AMID TRUMP IMPEACHMENT, ‘THE ARTS’ WILL HELP HEAL AMERICA

The U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) finalized the first of three proposed rules targeting the Supplemental Nutrition Program, known as SNAP. The plan announced Wednesday will limit states from exempting work-eligible adults from having to maintain steady employment in order to receive benefits.

Ocasio-Cortez, 30, responded to the announcement on Twitter on Thursday.

“My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48. I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved. Now, many people will,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most.”

The New York Democrat was 19 and about to begin her sophomore year at Boston University when her father, Sergio Ocasio, died of lung cancer. It is likely her mother still would have claimed her as a dependent at that time.

Several critics challenged the congresswoman, including The Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington-based think tank, writing: “The rule applies to able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who do not have dependents. The rule wouldn’t apply to parents with minor children, the elderly, or disabled people.”

Amazon delivery driver’s hilarious reaction to basket of treats outside Delaware home caught on video

A Delaware homeowner captured on video an Amazon delivery driver’s reaction after he discovered that she had left an unexpected surprise at the front door.

The doorbell camera footage shows Karim Earl Reed III walking up to the Middletown home as he discovered a basket of treats for delivery workers, which included water, soda and other snacks.

“Made my day! I leave goodies out every year,” the homeowner, Kathy Ouma, posted on Monday.

Reed’s reaction to the thoughtful gesture, however, was a surprise in and of itself.

“Oh, this is nice! We got some goodies … wow!” said Reed, who helped himself to the goodies.

He then begins to dance as he walked back to the delivery truck. Reed’s joyful reaction quickly went viral. The video has been viewed on Facebook more than 6.6 million times as of Thursday night.

“This is great, so thoughtful of you and he clearly appreciated your generosity from those moves!” one Facebook user commented.

“This was a perfect way to remember to be thankful for the little things and help others even when you’re going through it,” another person wrote.

Many commenters said they wanted to try Ouma’s generous idea. One person, however, said there’s just one thing from stopping her.

“I would try it, but the squirrels would probably eat the snacks,” she said.
