Show Wednesday. July 7, Scam preys on insecurities about banks' Dear Ann Landers: Please warn your readers about a scam I just heard about. Elderly folks are;particularly vulnerable. Here's the way it works. The con; artist calls and says he (or she) represents the person's bank. He informs the person that the bank is having difficulty meeting requirements to be computer ready for Y2K. The con artist says, "The bank needs you to transfer your money to a bond account structured to protect your money until the bank can be fully Y2K compliant." Then, he asks the person to confirm his or her account numbers and give verbal authorization to transfer the funds. This is a huge scam. Banks are almost all Y2K compliant and would never ask a client to confirm a bank account number over the telephone. If you give out this information, these con artists could get their hands on your money, and you will never see it again. Please, Ann, tell your read ers never to give out this kind of information, no matter who asks, and to report such calls to the phone company or the state attorney general's office. Thank you for getting the word out. S.P. in Missouri Dear Missouri: Some scam artists are so smooth and sound so convincing ADVICE COLUMN that the average person would suspect nothing. Your admonition never to give an account number or approval for transferring funds over the phone should be carefully heeded. Thank you for the heads-up. Waning but not extinct Dear Readers: Remember the poem from the person who said he was behind the times and didn't have a fax His real concern, or however, was that he would no longer be able to find typewriter ribbons. Well, my readers have ever-faithf- ul Ann Landers sent me names and addresses of dozens of stores all over the United States and Canada that have plenty of typewriter ribbons. I have been assured that they will be in stock for many years to come.

She offered to wait for him and have a late lunch when his class was over. He called her on my cell phone before the end of class to say he'd pick her up. This was at 1:30 p.m. He picked her up at his former office, and they drove to an expensive restaurant because "he didn't want to run into any former coworkers from his old company." As he told me this story, I started to get angry because he had told me the previous day that we could not go out to eat because money was tight. When he saw I was getting angry, he jokingly said he had just made up the story to see my reaction. I decided to check it out by looking for a receipt from the restaurant that he originally stated he had gone to. I found it in his that day. He thinks I'm out of line for being upset that he took this divorced "friend" to lunch. He says I'm jealous. I feel used and disrespected since he kept the date a secret, picked her up for the lunch and then lied about it. What do Angry Wife you think?

Recently he began taking a class near his former office. His class began in the morning and ended at 2 p.m. When he returned home one evening, I asked him how his day had gone. He stated that he had gone to lunch with a lady from his old office. (She happened to call him last week for someone's phone number and mentioned that "no one ever takes her to lunch.")
