BiggerBoat posted:OK. This just started happening to me recently. I'm pretty sure the "attractive woman" fake accounts just end up trying to get you to pay for porn after you accept their request. The Playstation Network also has this happen sometimes- I had to turn off messages from non-friends because once every other week I'd get a message from a bot/fake account with an attractive woman as the picture that just said "Hey."

USPS also keeps prices down for the private parcel services. Without it, UPS and Fed Ex are only competing with each other instead of a third company that's only business plan is "breaking even", so it'll get expensive as hell.

Tom Smykowski posted:My favorite responses to those are the "gently caress you you piece of poo poo!!!" Always a fun message to wake up to A friend of mine once responded to a porn/fake prostitution scam text that included 15 other people with "Well, boys, are we doing this?" before anyone else had the chance to respond and those 15 other people ended up finding it pretty funny.

Within the past week or so, two friends of mine have separately gotten weird texts that are just a single picture of a woman's (or at least female-presenting) hand holding a drink. One friend got a picture of some kind of iced coffee or frozen drink, completely free of branding. The other got a photo of a bottle of wine (you can see the label in this one). Neither had any text accompanying the image whatsoever- it was just a photo sent over SMS with nothing else. Is this some kind of weird scam trying to goad them into replying and then getting into the scammy part? Or did two friends of mine just happen to get two very similar wrong-number texts within the same few days and there's some poor actual friend who didn't get confirmation that their friend/partner was indeed coming home with the correct drinks?

Crust First posted:I have seen people post online about "wrong number" scams where a pretty lady texts them "on accident" and this somehow ends with them a week later sending thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin to someone to "invest" for them, and then whoops the money is gone. That's what was weird about this- you couldn't even see what the person looked like at all. The only reason I said "female-presenting" was because the person had nail polish in both photos. The only part of the person visible was their hand/wrist. The looking for active numbers thing makes sense though.

PhazonLink posted:other than landlords(oh and gov stuff?), is there any legit place would ask you to use a check? Contractors, realtors, lenders any service that doesn't want to deal with credit card transaction fees. That said, most of these places offer the option of using a credit card and pass that fee onto you as an extra charge. When you're working with contractors, that extra charge can be hundreds of dollars, so checks are pretty useful there.
