I got 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. 🙄

Do I know any folks?

My parents got 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 uses.

Any ideas are welcome :)

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

Help your seniors to not get

Thousands by mimicking loved ones in emergencies | Ars Technica

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

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

He wrote "Doug @Rushkoff says that the ethic of today's "entrepreneur" is to - 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

Watching someone continuously getting online is sad. It's watching them slowly descend into and besides from trying to help protect them from themselves, I'm not sure there's anything that can be done. 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.
