750K will get you a modest townhome where I live, and that's probably still much cheaper than in a major city. Now let me tell you how real estate is a scam.

It's like a 12 year old compiled all the tech words he knew and then really wanted to show them off. I also need to start using the term "adult vids (porno)" more. Hi, your account is now infected! Renew the password right now! You might not know me me and you are certainly interested for what reason you're reading this message, right? I am ahacker who exploitedyour emailand systemsome time ago. Don't try out to contact me or alternatively find me, it's not possible, considering that I forwarded you an email from YOUR own account that I've hacked. I developed special program to the adult vids (porno) site and guess that you watched this website to enjoy it (you realize what I mean). Whilst you were watching content, your internet browser started out operating like a RDP (Remote Control) with a keylogger that provided me authority to access your monitor and web camera. Next step, my softaquiredall data. You entered passwords on the web-sites you visited, and I caught them. Surely, you can modify each of them, or have already modified them. Even so it doesn't matter, my app renews information regularly. What actually did I do? I compiled a backup of every your device. Of all the files and contact lists. I created a dual-screen record. The 1st section demonstrates the film you had been watching (you've got a good preferences, wow...), and the second part shows the recording from your camera. What must you do? Great, in my view, 1000 USD will be a fair amount of money for this very little riddle. You will do the payment by bitcoins (in case you don't understand this, go searching “how to buy bitcoin” in Google). My bitcoin wallet address: 14B3FpCjNnoGxTsGor46Wk689GsvKbyv4x (It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it). Warning: You will have only 48 hours to perform the payment. (I put an unique pixel in this letter, and at this time I know that you've read this email). To tracethe reading of a messageand the activitywithin it, I usea Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything thatis usedfor the authorities should helpus.) In case I do not get bitcoins, I shall certainly direct your videofile to each of your contacts, such as family members, co-workers, etcetera?

Not sure if it's limited to bikes or if that's just shows up for me due to my interests but every couple weeks Facebook will have ads for $5000 bikes being sold for $75. A bunch of different manufacturers with pictures and info ripped off the MFG website. Anyone else see these for other products? Like buy a new Tesla for $200! We will sell you this new house in Manhattan for $5000. The prices are laughably unbelievable. Also why not just sell things at a believable discount and just not deliver the product. It would at least be harder to tell that it's a scam in that case.

shame on an IGA posted:Efficiency demands the scammer filter out anyone credulous enough to bite but smart enough to figure out it's a scam after the scammer has already begun investing time in their case. It's very much to their advantage for the scam to obvious to all but the most absolutely doe-eyed. How does the scam work then? I assumed it was just charge customer, then don't deliver product. In which case wouldn't it make sense to make it as believable as possible? I guess maybe their payment method could be "mail us cash in an envelope". I never bothered to actually try and buy anything from those ads.

Wicked Them Beats posted:Imagine you're someone dumb enough to think the IRS would ever demand payment in gift cards. Now assume you REALLY want a cool motorcycle. And hey, you just found this ad for a cool motorcycle and it only costs $100! Add in a story about how the scammer had to leave the country or something else that you desperately want to believe because you want a bike and this is your only chance to afford one. Yah that would make sense. Though the website itself looks like a real website with a regular store. Though maybe once you try to buy you'll get a guy emailing you with a regular Craigslist scam. Konstantin posted:Chances are you'll get a bike, but it will be the cheapest possible Chinese crap with some stickers on it. They also use shady Chinese credit card processors, so you'll probably get a call from your credit card company asking if you authorized a charge from some company whose name is a bunch of random letters. Again, why not charge a reasonable amount if your plan is to not deliver the actual product anyways. DizzyBum posted:First thing this makes me think of is penny auction sites. Was a regular looking sale as far as I could tell, not one of those auction things where you have to pay to bid.

Domus posted:If you have to ask if it's rigged, the answer is almost always "yes". I can't think of many exceptions...the state lotteries perhaps? If carnival games are rigged then lotteries and casinos are also rigged by the same definition. They're all specifically designed so they take in more money than they give out.

Blue Moonlight posted:I don’t know that’s true - lotteries and casinos are strictly regulated. It’s common knowledge that “the house always wins,” but they’re doing it according to a rule book that is public knowledge, if not law. I mean you should just assume that anyone doing something as a business is doing it to make money and they wouldn't be doing it if they're losing money in the process. Then it becomes pretty obvious that the carnival games are designed to take in more than they're paying out, the mechanism in which they do it is irrelevant.

Just about everyone should have a credit freeze. There's no real downside to having one. Unfreezing takes less than 10 minutes when you need it.

Speaking of delivery scams. We ordered something through Doordash but got somebody's Grubhub order instead. Went to the Doordash website and put in a complaint, got an automated message saying a credit had been issued for the order. 10 days later, no credit. We contact customer support and they say it's now too late for us to contest the issue. We went into the Doordash website and took a screenshot of the message saying we got a credit and they just completely ignored the email. So now we're doing a credit card charge back.

Just saw this on ebay. This is just the laziest attempt in the world to set up an illegal gambling operation right? 7 ounce bath salts in a sealed bag with real cash inside. You can get $1,5 or $20 Each bath salt bag has at least $1 in each one. Each Bill is inside a little plastic bag so it won’t contaminate the bath salts

We just bought a new car. Found the lowest price on Cargurus.com. Called the dealer, had them send us the price in writing. Drove over and paid for it. All in all, a pretty pleasant interaction. We also called a couple other dealers to see if they could price match and they couldn't. All in all, the price out the door was something like 6k under MSRP. bamhand fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Dec 3, 2020 |

Yeah just look up Suntrust's number and call them if you're worried about the one on the letter. Often legitimate messages that are worried about sounding like scams will say that. To look up their contact info to reach them rather than have them provide it in the email/voicemail.

Are there really counterfeit video cards? I finally gave in and got a 3080 ti off ebay at 50% mark up. Came as advertised. Obviously the risk there varies a bunch by seller. I'm seeing cards regularly sell at $2000-$2100 for that card.

Interesting. In that case ebay actually might be safer since you're seeing actual photos of the product. Plus you can try and register the serial number once you receive the item. I suppose you can't be 100% safe though. I got my card last week and I'm glad everything appears to be as it should be.
