Imagine walking around with a $10.5 ATM card in your wallet. No stress, huh? 😱 My head would be on a swivel: "Wait, is that guy following me?" Maybe the downside is that in the fine print, the daily withdrawal limit is $200, so it'll take just over 143 years to drain it 😣

You'd think that these scammers would at least use spell check or something. At least twice a week I get a notice that my Amazon account has been locked. 🤠 Fr.

October 1, 20214 yr I regularly get “your account has been locked” from two banking institutions I have never done business with, so those are obvious scams. I subscribe to Spectrum cable for internet, and do get a legit email each month to inform me of my latest bill amount. (The actual payment is automatically deducted). The legitimate email addresses me by name, contains my actual Spectrum account number, and a summary of charges. I often get a scam Spectrum bill as well. That one addresses me as “Dear Spectrum Customer”, contains no summary of charges, and wants me to “open the attached invoice”. I assume the scammers send those to all known Spectrum email accounts.

October 1, 20214 yr Administrators For the last year or so, I get this little tidbit on the upper portion of my Netlix home screen. It says there is a problem with my email address. I have checked it out and it's fine and seems to lead to something fishy. There has been no problem with billing or with anything to do with Netflix.
