Being

Cracking open arguments, scams & systems. New breakdown, most days.

The fix is one question: "Is that actually what I said?"

Drop an example of the best (worst?) strawman you've seen recently. I'll pick the sharpest one to break down next.
Cya next time, maybe

U were arguing with someone and they bring up this silly trick👇

[Being @Existing1Being]

That's a strawman, and it works because it FEELS like a real response.

Once you notice it, u can see it constantly in replies, quote-tweets, the news, everywhere!

This is the first of a series on the mechanics behind common scams, how they actually work, not just "be careful out there."

Has this happened to you or someone you know? Curious how it played out, sharing is caring :)

Two things stop this completely:

1. Add a PIN to your carrier account, required for any SIM changes
2. Move 2FA off SMS entirely ,use an authenticator app instead

Both take 5 minutes. Do them today, not after this happens to you.
