North Kingstown Recreation Department Summer Program – Tennis and Coach Cristelle Fox

The Baseball Storyteller

Every summer up until high school, I took tennis lessons with the Town of North Kingstown.  It was part of a busy summer of recreation my brother, sister, and I participated in.  The tennis courts at the North Kingstown High School was where you could find me, some time after swimming lessons, and just before creative writing at the NK Town Library.  I was (and remain) a huge fan of the sport and still watch most of the major championships on TV.  It is a sport that combines athleticism with hand-eye coordination and it helped me develop athletically for both high … Continue reading North Kingstown Recreation Department Summer Program – Tennis and Coach Cristelle Fox

Known as the “Windows Support Scam” or “Tech Support Scam”, you may have received this unsolicited phone call from individuals posing as Microsoft Windows tech support. The scammers claim that your computer has notified them that there are “corrupt files” or malicious software that needs to be fixed. The caller then walks the consumer through a series of computer commands, allegedly “fixing the issue”, but actually installing malware or other software that allows the scam artist to remotely control the computer. The caller then solicits credit card payment for the so-called fix. When consumers question payment, the caller threatens to … Continue reading Don’t Fall for the “Microsoft Tech Support” Scam
