Honorable de recibir un Certificado de Reconocimiento de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles. Fuimos la primera startup en la Ciudad de los Ángeles.

Mom's Computer's Elijah was interviewed by CNET on a terrible scam we deal with, fraudulent online obituaries. Here's a link:

Tech Story of the Month
Mom's in the LA Times Story
(The sheer amount of creative scams that come into the shop is mind boggling. And just like online ads are tailored just for you, with AI, the same now with scams. The days of the mass scam phishing email are passing. You can't help but marvel at what some good ol' thief, far away, with a cellular connection, can come up with to monetize anything online)!

Moms: Thanks for calling Mom's Computer, how may we help you?

Customer: I just read my obituary online, it's everywhere.

Moms: Have you done something that has gotten attention online recently? Has your family seen it?

Customer: My dad saw it on a youtube video

Moms: And he watched a little ad before?

Customer: Yes. (Turns out customer is a reporter with the LA Times, who while being very much alive, was reading about her death, online.) The article is behind a paywall, but for those interested in the weirdness we encounter daily, or think I make up my stories, take a look!

Mom's Computer has passed it's 10th anniversary & we've worked with lots of folks. Being proudly out of LA, many of those folks are actors & musicians. The other day we got a call from Bruce Davison (permission to tell the tale). For those like me, who really identified with the film Willard (the original), Bruce played Willard. Funny how 50 years later, an actor from a film that his been in your head since you saw it, pops up on the other side of the screen unable to update his mac. He was a pleasure & with extensive credits, but I made sure we only met on zoom, not take any chances or become Ernest Borgnine.

A very heartfelt thank you for all of my birthday wishes. They become more important every year. I think of retirement, but who would miss this adventure!
Tech Story of the Week:
See Mom's Computer in the LA Times. After 10 years of fighting scammers, preventing and recovering the results, we are happy to be recognized on our hometown newspaper!

I was the victim of an elaborate AI death hoax, which spread fake news about me online. Here's what it's like to read your own obituary.
