Latest scam at my store this week: woman comes in to buy Apple gift cards - she wants several thousands dollars worth.
As I am ringing up her first $500 card, I start asking questions like we are supposed to.
Me: buying a lot of cards (she looked sooo nervous) - who are they for?
Customer: A friend
Me: a friend you know in real life or someone you met on the internet?
C: a friend
Me: just asking because a lot of people get scammed. Had a woman cuss me out because I wouldn’t sell her Cards to buy a puppy. Told her to go to a reputable breeder, meet them in person, get her dog. She came back months later to apologize because it was a scam and showed me pics of the dog she bought in person. You aren’t buying a puppy, are you?
C: no, it’s a friend (while twisting her purse straps)
Me: is your friend waiting outside?
C: no.
Me: just asking because I am concerned… just don’t want you to lose money.
She is looking more nervous so, while slowly starting the next Transaction, keep sharing other scams. I also purposely tried to load the card for another $500, knowing our system would reject it because the limit is $750 a day.
The transaction fails. I turn the screen toward her.
Me: sorry, you can’t purchase the second card because our system won’t allow it.
She asks me to repeat that and turns her purse towards me.
Me: one time, I had a lady who seemed nervous who set her purse down and motioned me to come around the counter. She told me the Scammer was on the phone, making sure she did the transaction correctly.
Woman turns more pale and mouths “HE IS ON THE PHONE”
I walk around, set her purse down, pull her away, and she starts crying and spewing out the story!
They told her her bank account was used for money laundering. She withdrew ALL OF HER MONEY from the account and was going to use it ALL to buy Apple gift cards.
They also said her social security number was used and a MARSHALL would be delivering her a new card at her House tomorrow 🙃
I was LIVID! Walked to her purse, pulled out the phone, and said “hello? I have all TWELVE numbers you have been calling from (yes, she hung up multiple times and they kept calling back from other numbers) and she is on her way to the police station AND will be calling the FBI afterwards. If you EVER call her again, I will track you down and kill your dog after I beat you with a stick until you bleed out”. They hung up. And no, I wouldn’t kill a dog!
We couldn’t refund $500 she had already put on the Apple Card but offered to help her contact our customer service and Apple to try to get it back.
She had an Apple phone so also showed how to set up Apple Pay.
She cried more, we talked more, I hugged her, told her how to handle in the future, she was going to call her daughter and let her know what happened.
Asked for another hug and left.
PLEASE talk to your family!! Tell them that despite the “sense of urgency” the scammer uses to make them “do things Right now”, nothing horrible is going to happen if they don’t do what they want in 12 hrs or even 24 hrs.
Take the time to ask someone they trust if the “circumstance” is legit and get help before they lose all of their money!!
I am so tired of seeing people lose all their money to these people!!
Сегодня привезла подростка,после наркоза в палату к его маме.Забрала каталку и иду обратно в операционную.
Меня догоняет мама ребенка:
-Доктор!Вы забыли ваши ручки!
-Это ваши, Артем их выбрал в коробке храбрости.
Мама Артема растерянно:
-Нам никогда не давали ничего из коробки
Взломала у коллеги пин-код на компе. Известно, что это 4 цифры, стандартные комбинации не подошли. Когда нажимаешь на восстановление пароля, то там прописана почта, в названии которой, парам-пам-пам, 4 цифры.
Коллега в роуминге и вовремя не успел написать, какой у него код
Так бесит, что все как овцы переходят на макс. Уведомления с сайтов настроены в тг и на почту. Говорю, что нет, в макс не настрою, значит, в почте. Ставьте прокси на тг, всё работает, можно вообще ничего не менять.
А ещё путают прокси и впн (типа на комп на работе нельзя ничего)
@shoom_m Дааааа, те же чувства.
Мне ещё ответили "мы хотим легальные способы, поэтому макс". Но какое наказание за получение уведомлений с сайта в телеграме мне не смогли ответить.
Короче, отправляю всех в почту, где изначально всё и было настроено
Купила абонемент в тренажерку на 18 месяцев. За 8800 ₽. Зал в центре в кванте +есть групповые занятия. Звучит как скам.
Но подруга уже 4 раза была там на групповых.
Завтра идём с коллегами на тренажёры
Сижу на концерте, думаю, ну вот остались тут только музыканты, которые избегают упоминать политику, не высказывать позицию. Либо такие как шаман.
А потом Бобунец рассказываете, как выступал в Авдеевке и на Красной площади 18 марта

@KateDyukova@skate_mos У меня просто 4 года впн скорее включен, чем не. Я редко отключаю.
Но ради школы, видимо, придётся установить.
Сейчас в саду там какие-то фотки кидают а я не вижу
