Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn Podcast

Posted on May 3, 2024 by Amy Lynn

Seems everyone these days has a Podcast and why not? There is a lot of data to be shared and there are a lot of people who want to hear about it. I’ve been fighting doing a Podcast for years, but after God inspired me to be more than my sum I threw up my arms and say okay! So here we are. I’m not exactly new to Podcasting, I’ve been helping my clients for years. This page will be updated often with different applications that we have been approved upon to listen to, so please be sure to bookmark it. Thanks! This may not be a serial Podcast as I will only record when God inspires me. As stated, this is a faith and technology related Podcast that I truly hope you enjoy the byte size portions. I’m always open to guests, content suggestions, and sponsored content so feel free to contact me today! You never know what may happen. May you be blessed by what you hear and bless me by sharing it.

I have a unique way of looking at things and I’d like to share that view with you. I believe technology and faith have a lot in common and I can teach both at the same time during one little byte. I’m a computer geek, programming since the age of seven so I have a lot of things to share. All my businesses are lead by God. My very core has always been my faith. It’s why I was so excited when he gave me the guidance to do the podcast “Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn.”

New book out now, Annika and The Pretender

Posted on April 9, 2024 by Amy Lynn

The last paragraph of my new book. ——–> I’d like to leave you with a parting question that I feel is very important and applies to this. When you die, what are you leaving behind? I ask this because when my father died, he left behind over seventy-five journals. Not everything in them was nice, but we made peace before he died. If your abuser is causing you to react poorly to their abuse, it’s time to turn the tables. Their abuse will be their lasting legacy, not yours. Their hate and hurt will be there forever, should they die, and others will see the true nature and core of the individual causing you torment. It may be very hard to do and can even feel impossible. Holding back while someone is abusing you, slandering you, or possibly even stalking you, is one of the hardest things to do. So report it. Take screenshots and share them with your friends and family. You never know; one of them may be in law enforcement or have connections that will ensure your abuser pays for their crimes. So, keep that in mind. What is your lasting legacy?

ABOUT: From grooming to breadcrumbing, ghosting, sociopathic tendencies, downright abuse, pathological liar, narcissism, a con artist, bullying, criminal stalking, an affair, signs of multiple personality disorder, and ultimately, a romance scam. This is a story all about dominance, control, and abuse that caused a great deal of emotional distress. It is a story with a lesson and a warning for others.

Facebook started the relationship with this scammer, and Facebook ended it.

This book is about a master and slave relationship with no physical abuse; however, there was deep mental anguish. It is about two consenting adults, even if one was lied to from the very start.

Due to the nature and context of this book, it took four rewrites, four months, and three title changes to complete.

In this book, you will find a great deal of resources and support for getting help and identifying these types of individuals and their actions. Helping you see the red flags before it becomes too dangerous.

The word victim is used a lot in this book, but it is also about a survivor. This book also serves as part of my healthcare advocacy.

The American Counseling Association recommends:

“Five Ways to Help with Coping AFTER a Crisis Situation.”

    • Recognize your own feelings about the situation and talk to others about your fears. Know that these feelings are a normal response to an abnormal situation.
    • Be willing to listen to family and friends who have been affected and encourage them to seek counseling if necessary.
    • Be patient with people; fuses are short when dealing with a crisis and others may be feeling as much stress as you.
    • Recognize normal crisis reactions, such as sleep disturbances and nightmares, withdrawal, reverting to childhood behaviors, and trouble focusing on work or school.
    • Take time with your children, spouse, life partner, friends, and co-workers to do something you enjoy.

Facebook Scam Warning

Posted on November 7, 2023 by Amy Lynn

A scam is going around Facebook and I decided to play the game and see how far it would go. I’ve included two photos of the type. (You can report it to Facebook, they are so stupid they do nothing.)

So you post your “answer or reply.” The poster replies, “congrats msg me.” Then the scammer will ask for your payment information. I used a fake PayPal account I had. The poster then replies with a photo that “confirms” the payment has been sent. Of course it’s not been sent. Then the scammer says, “You need to pay the taxes and fees so it can finish sending. Send me X amount of dollars.” Then you the unexpected victim sends the requested amount. Wham! You just been scammed and you got nothing other then the screenshot of a fake payment.

You can of course contact your payment processor about the scam but it’s not going to stop the scammer. They just create more accounts and get more and more people falling for the scam because places like Facebook don’t shut down the accounts or delete the postings.

Please share this with your friends and family so they won’t fall victim to this non-stop Facebook scam.

Please also note I’ve seen this on Tumblr as well.

How to add 911 to Amazon Alexa for FREE

Posted on September 24, 2023 by Amy Lynn

I’ve actually had Alexa call 911 for me. And it works perfectly fine FOR FREE. Simply follow THESE steps:

Click on Alexa app, click on Communicate tab at the bottom – top right logo (people) –  top right 3 dots – “Emergency Contact” I’ve added 911. This is easy to use and free.

There is a woman who writes for AARP who is telling people to pay for a service that does this. This is not helpful for seniors!

I said to Alexa “I think I’m having a heart attack.” Alexa replied “Reaching out to your emergency contact.” Then next thing I know, “Akron 911 how may we help you?”
