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.

Indeed. So glad you both were safe!

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

[@Sprungusbungus]

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

[@karihuenoczima]

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

[@euosvarietychannel6986]

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

[@AlyxTheProtogen]

Spam calls are the worst I already get enough anxiety whenever I am waiting for a call, I don't want to have to check if it's a spam number each time I get a call

I experienced two different interview scams a few years ago when looking for remote work. Went through the interviews feeling incredibly skeptical, even got the hiring offer for one and he sent me a pic of his ID to convince me it was legit. I just couldn't go through with it cause it felt so sketch. At the time I hadn't seen anything about scams like that so I had no idea if I was just being paranoid or not, but I'm glad today that I went with my gut both times after seeing some of these posts that sound exactly like what I experienced.

8:42 How it must feel to be scammed out of of your money.

[@wendyjohnson7763]

Feel like this reminder is needed here: anyone, and I mean Anyone, can be scammed. We all have off days or let our guard down. Don’t feel bad, and don’t make other people feel bad. Scammers (at least good ones) know how to manipulate you using emotions and urgency. Don’t answer unknown numbers. If someone calls saying their your relative, hang up and call your relative. Health insurance companies do not inform you of policy changes over the phone. If you get scammed call your bank. There’s also a way to alert the fbi. And remember, anyone can get scammed.

[@Cassxowary]

also, I doubt a scammer will send CP to cops but still, scammer is a less scary option to child predo!

[@supertjh]

Purely based off the thumbnail, by the same logic, he said "No" to the offer.

[@AdiG1]

There were once scam messages going around on Xbox Live (probably still are) where chat bots would link you under the guise of one of those stripper shows online. They are scripted to respond to the word "wish" with "I wish you'd sit on my face, mmmm". This was back in 2017/18

[@sansthemedic8581]

Fun fact about the stuff to do with Jack saying that programming has to be one of the most important languages to learn in the modern day, when I was doing research for my final year project at uni I actually ended up finding research that states that *young people agree* with that. Can't remember the sources but yeah, even students agree that coding is a very important skill in the modern day

44:37 it depends on where you are. In Michigan, gift cards never expire. It’s amazing.

[@ruby_loveyt]

Some do, it depends on companies. If it's something like a VISA or another debit/credit card company's gift card: expires. If it isn't, doesn't (Saying this as a Michiganer)

[@ellaminnowpea1999]

@@ruby_loveyt eyy, a fellow Michigander! True that those expire, though I think they get around the laws by being refillable debit cards or similar (same reasons they have an activation fee, etc). But gift cards to businesses/stores/etc don’t expire! So when in doubt, gift card to a store/business, check, or cash - never those damn visa “gift” cards!

[@jaxsonbateman]

Re: gift cards as an actual gift (mentioned at about 44 mins in). Agreed! It would be one thing if gift cards offered some bonus over regular cash, like 5% off purchases or even just an entry into a prize draw that you almost surely won't win. The fact is that 99%+ of gift cards offer *nothing* over regular cash, except for the giver to feel like they gave a more thoughtful gift to the receiver, or that they demonstrated they know them better - with the obvious downside that the money can straight up get lost if the gift card is lost or enough time lapses (not to mention if the receiver doesn't actually use the entity the gift card is for). A little change would actually make them a great gift (again, just a small bonus over regular cash is all they need), but right now gift cards as a whole almost feel like a scam.

[@devanbaugh4915]

42:04 hey, the gas station one could be a credit card skimmer. It's super common where I live. If you offer to pay cash for their gas, and they *do not accept the gas* then they *do want your credit card*

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.

My rule of thumb is that if the scammer says the word “kindly,” it’s 100% a scam. I’m sorry, but no one tells you to “kindly” do something lol, they’ll say “please” or just as you to do it. Scammers almost ALWAYS say “kindly” when they’re asking you to do something. Honorable mention: repeating the same phrases as well. Like “I need you to do this right now so I can get the money to you right now.” They tend to just say the same things, and to any native English speaker, it doesn’t sound right

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?"
