Same. Especially about my social security number having problems

Hit enough people and someone will eventually fall for it. Hit enough more and even more will.

Boomers fall for it all the time. Running automated scam calls is incredibly cheap and the payoff is high. It’s way easier than your standard fraud.

They aim to hit the older demographic and try to find people who are mentally distracted or not there. Check out the Mark Rober YouTube video he did recently. Intervened in a scam where people had legit mailed 15,000 dollars cash to a scammer

I always assumed it was something McKinsey helped create.

3 dates in and communication has dipped hard. Really good, refreshing dates with this person who is ticking boxes nobody else has for a long time.

She’s away for 2/3 weeks from tomorrow, asked her the day after our 3rd date (last week) that I would like to see her again before she goes if possible, but since then texting has gone from twice daily to now having no reply in 48 hours. There’s not enough time to see her now which is fine, but feel like I’m slowly being ghosted. (cont)
