Scam Caller had Social Security Number My husband got one of those “a civil lawsuit has been filed against you” scam calls today. We typically get one a year. He’s still always confused by them when he gets them so talked to the lady for way too long imo.

Phishing Scam, now spread to Expedia. Just like how people previously mentioned about booking.om having this scam, apparently this is now also on expedia. What’s worse is that Expedia would automatically send a copy of this message to your email – and that goes through the actual expedia servers, so one of the usual ways of detecting phishing doesn’t work. Expedia customer service …

What kind of social media scam is this? On public posts, like from NPR, often I’ll see a man spamming women “you’re beautiful” over and over. I’m looking at one specific case where this guy’s persona (fake, all images were stolen from a real person -reverse image search- and uploaded on the same day) is a doctor/surgeon. On his own page, he interacted with a woman who engaged him and …

This means that many American households, at any given time, have at least one order pending delivery. Unfortunately,… Read more…
