Institutions have gotten in at the IPO price for decades. Retail got the leftovers.

xStocks just ended that.

Now, retail investors worldwide can access US-listed IPO price exposure via xStocks, at the offering price.

I put a prompt injection into my LinkedIn bio and recruiters are messaging me in Old English and calling me Lord.

Hey @krakenfx customers 👋

Here’s how to turn crypto into cash.

Anyone remember this? This unit plays the “Thundering Turbo” game. Came out in 1983. Was the closest to VR at the time for kids. It was great for road trips in the 80s.

@Ky1eKatarn That’s Vulptex Mulder.

@tmuxvim It’s usually fraud when it’s the other way around

@Sdh2355 @KarineSueQc Agreed, it would be great, but they really don’t know this for some reason.

A scam blowing up this year that nobody warns you about: the recovery scam. Here’s how it works.

You get scammed once. Crypto, romance, fake invoice. Doesn’t matter. You realize, you panic, maybe you tell the scammer “I’m calling the cops.”

They record that call. Then they wait 4 to 8 weeks.

Then a “police officer” calls. Or a “lawyer.” Or someone from a “consumer recovery agency.” They know specific details about your scam. Because they ARE the people who scammed you.

They offer to help recover your money. Just need an upfront fee. Gift cards work great, apparently. Or more crypto as a “recovery bond.”

Rule: Anyone who contacts YOU first about money you lost is the scammer. Government agencies and law enforcement do not work this way. Ever.

Share this. Send it to anyone who might be vulnerable to getting scammed TWICE.

@osint_based Yes, definitely - also sometimes one scam group hacks another scam group.

@beausecurity I recently had a family friend get scammed and they told people about it on Facebook. They then told us they were working with the “FBI” and when we asked if they reported the scam to them, they said “No, they called me”. 😬

@MalwareJake @SANSInstitute I’d imagine that a very good portion of their annual revenue comes from training and certification of DHS (and other US Gov agencies) employees. The choice was probably to stay in business rather than pick a fight with the US Gov over politics.
