Xamanismo Coletivo"This is the most important lesson of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scams</a>: that no matter how well-attuned you are to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cons</a>, you can still be <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/conned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conned</a>. The belief that you are immune to a con actually makes you a mark. It's for that reason that I recount the tales of how I got <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a> – to help other people understand that being sophisticated, alert and even paranoid is no guarantee that you will be <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/safe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#safe</a>." <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a> <a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/05/troy-hunt/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/05/troy-hunt/</a>

Zorro Notorious MEB 🪷🪷🪷Wait! Let me get this straight - - Students can pay for an AI to write papers for them? - And schools can pay for software that reads the papers and figures out whether the student wrote it or an AI did?Folks, we're being scammed!- Alan Turing wanted to build machines that could impersonate a human in teletypewritten communication. - John McCarthy wanted to build machines with common sense. - John von Neumann wanted to build self-replicating machines and to upload his consciousness into a machine.Claude Shannon wanted to build machines that made him money. But somebody has built a machine that enriches itself on the backs of students and teachers?We. Are. Being. Scammed.😡<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a>

AI6YR BenLA Times article about someone who turned a rental into an Airbnb... had to roll my eyes at how the homeowner judged the renter's character... "...made a great impression on the walk-through, driving up in a white Tesla and sporting a Rolex."(driving a Tesla is not necessarily a red flag, unless it's a Cybertruck -- but combined with "wearing a Rolex" would be a **huge** red flag. Just owning/showing off a Rolex is a red flag.)<a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-23/hijacked-how-renter-turned-l-a-home-into-an-illegal-airbnb-from-5-000-miles-away-lawsuit-says" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-23/hijacked-how-renter-turned-l-a-home-into-an-illegal-airbnb-from-5-000-miles-away-lawsuit-says</a><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a>

Nils AndresenI got <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a> somewhere in the last days... 😱And if my wife hadn't noticed, I would probably have scammed the next person in the coming days.Someone handed me a 10 Baht piece instead of a 2€ piece. I guess this proves once more that I'm better off using cards instead of 'physical' money. 🙄

Tuxi :arch: :postmarketos:I got <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a>.

Robert DresdenDo I know any <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/OSINT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSINT</a> folks?My parents got <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/scammed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammed</a> yesterday night by a WhatsApp ("this is your child. I have a new phone and need money") scammer. They were able to get their money back trough the bank so all is fine. I still want to wreak havoc in their scamming infrastructure and all I have is the number of the phone the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/scammer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scammer</a> uses. Any ideas are welcome :)
