When I was 15 in 1996 I met a girl in an AOL chat room and we met for a date. We weren't compatible, but we were both real teenagers who were exactly who we said we were and had proper intentions. It was a damn miracle.

A guy on reddit once offered to pay a month of rent for my family. $1300 CAD.

Everyone told me it was a scam. But.. no. No scam. Dude legitimately sent $1300 CAD from Australia via bank transfer. The transaction went through. It was an incredible help for us, as we were struggling and falling behind.

I was just like "Well, I have nothing they could possibly steal and credit too bad to take a $2 loan, what are they gonna scam me out of?"

My grandmother nearly got scammed and sometimes you have to escalate things. The scammer basically threatened her with a time limit or her bank account would close. She kept trying to go along with it despite my protests until i physically wrenched her tablet out of her hands and kept it until the next day when the "time limit" would have expired. I looked like a jerk at the time but she realised i was right once nothing happened. Watch out fir your elders and sometimes you might have to make them listen

I'm playing Stardew Valley while watching this and got an in-game scam call 😭

My brother scammed my grandmother out of her last 10k she had to her name. He called and begged her to send bail money to him, that “he’s in real deep trouble,” and shit. He was part of a much larger scam the FBI had been hunting. That was maybe 5-7 years ago? Now the FBI has reopened the case, and sweet Karma is heading his way because he was dumb enough to not use a burner phone

Emkay. Get some sleep. I'm concerned for you.

5:05 It’s also viewed as CSEM (aka CP) even if you took the photo yourself and shared it. If they’re old enough, and won’t listen/acts like they know everything that might be worth to point out.

Skimmers are super easy for scammers to quickly place on payment areas without people noticing unless you specifically watch the cams at that time, they are usually accompanied by another person to be a distraction while they apply the skimmer. We are taught at convenience stores to do skimmer checks mostly by giving the plastic card parts a good tug and to look for off looking keypads, and checking for cameras over the keypads

when Jack can barely joke about the posts, I feel like it's really bad lol

Perfect timing. Just had to set up a call blocker because I've been getting 10+ spam calls a day for a few weeks

I've seen this "your Android/iPhone has been hacked" scam far too often on MCPEDL. Except in their case Overwolf chose similar route Microsoft would've went for and uses it as a firewall to prevent certain users (read, anyone who's either the same race or same gender as me) from certain community content, usually completely random things the site development and app development teams (yes, MCPEDL is both of these things) don't want people to use.

20:27 licensed insurance agent here, insurance companies especially reputable ones wont ask the beneficiary for payment, the only way that could happen is if they are also the policy holder which can happen in instances of where the person who has the insurance put on them is unable to get the insurance either because they are a child or dont have the finances

It's weird being the easily approachable kid that everyone knows is into tech. A lot of people approach me asking if this message they received is a scam and are they in trouble for opening the message. I help to my ability. And. Frankly it's quite enjoyable. But sure is weird sometimes. Haven't seen any juicy scam attempts lately.
It's nice to know that people around here prefer asking to just going forward with things. But at the same time it's sorta terrifying to see how common scams are. Even good ones.
