I got #scammed somewhere in the last days... 😱

And if my wife hadn't noticed, I would probably have scammed the next person in the coming days.

Someone handed me a 10 Baht piece instead of a 2€ piece. I guess this proves once more that I'm better off using cards instead of 'physical' money. 🙄

I got #scammed. How the #fruit desert thingy was advertised on the box, vs how it turned out.

Do I know any #OSINT folks?

My parents got #scammed yesterday night by a WhatsApp ("this is your child. I have a new phone and need money") scammer. They were able to get their money back trough the bank so all is fine. I still want to wreak havoc in their scamming infrastructure and all I have is the number of the phone the #scammer uses.

Any ideas are welcome :)

Omg, if you want to add to the gnawing anxiety of scammers and being hacked just follow @BleepingComputer Every toot (I 😝that term) is scary but you need to know. #scammed #hackedmaterial #hacking #SOS

One of the greatest reveals and found #truths if someone claims they #love you is to start including them in future #plans, you really find out how #fake and #fraudulent they are.

#Protip to all you people desperate and dateless but keep getting #scammed by assholes.

"I'd love to learn more about your organization! Can you please mail me some info about you?"

The caller dropped my connection within a heartbeat.

Now you know. That's one of the easiest ways possible to stop a #scam

Again, please pass this on to the seniors that you know who are more likely to have #landlines or think of these calls as legit. They're not.

If it’s a real org, they’ll absoLUTELY send you brochures and pamphlets.

Help your seniors to not get #scammed

Just been #scammed out of £44 via Difmark trying to buy a key for #JediSurvivor. Furious, but also have that sick feeling in my stomach. Should have just gone somewhere more reputable and accepted paying more.

Thousands #scammed by #AI #voices mimicking loved ones in emergencies | Ars Technica

Tausende werden von KI-Stimmen betrogen, die in Notfällen geliebte Menschen imitieren

KI-Modelle, die darauf ausgelegt sind, die Stimme einer Person genau zu simulieren, machen es böswilligen Akteuren leichter.

Cory Doctorow has been #scammed and is not that happy with that (!)

He wrote "Doug @Rushkoff says that the ethic of today's "entrepreneur" is to #GoMeta - don't provide a product or a service, simply find a way to be a predatory squatter on a chokepoint between people who do useful things and people who use those things."

Poor world… I sometimes want to leave this planet and found a more friendly one…

The check used to be a way for us to verify who we were communicating with. It became a status symbol. Twitter monetized it. Y'all (twitter) ATE that shit up. And now more companies will be at the same bullshit lmao #meta #twitterblue #scammed

Watching someone continuously getting #scammed online is sad. It's watching them slowly descend into #mentalillness and besides from trying to help protect them from themselves, I'm not sure there's anything that can be done. #bitcoin scammers can easily take advantage of people in this situation.

Massive corporate profits while people freeze and starve. High inflation rates even though the UK is growing. Interest rates are up again and these bankers on TV are smiling. In layman's terms. Prices will Not come back down but should level off. We are being played. #Scammed

This ‘#Cryptoqueen’ #scammed investors out of $4 #billion, the FBI says. Then she boarded a plane and #disappeared

Authorities say #OneCoin was a pyramid scheme that defrauded people out of more than $4 billion as #Ignatova convinced investors in the US and around the globe to throw fistfuls of cash at her company. Federal prosecutors describe OneCoin as one of the largest international fraud schemes

Someone created a fake email ID in the name of one of #ICC's consultants in the USA and sent a request to the #CFO of ICC asking for 4cr. ICC Cleared the payment without noticing the exact email ID.

Till date ICC has been #scammed of 20cr by fraud emails.

I got #scammed this week. No major damage. But still, in the spirit of the public good, is a rundown of the story. Don’t click SMS links. Ever.: https://davidknuffke.medium.com/i-got-scammed-8dd7a4e97278
