Integrating the Spirals: How to spot a scam

My credit union sent the following helpful information and tips regarding scams to me (and their other customers) the other day. I found it useful, so I thought I would share it:

Don’t get caught in a Money Mule scam – from my credit union. For obvious reasons I don’t want to disclose the name.
Red flags to watch for and how to protect yourself

I had never heard of a Money Mule scam before. I mean, I guess in concept but not in name.

Now, it’s up to us to do our due diligence to ensure we don’t fall victim to scammers.

By being better informed we can stop scammers from stealing our hard earned money!

Perplexity

I’m using Perplexity AI now to copy and paste potential job scam offers. I’m also using it to ask some scholarly questions pertaining to the research I have done for my 5th book!

So far, I am finding the answers and feedback it provides very helpful!

Integrating the Spirals: Scammers

Have you ever thought you were chatting with Keanu Reeves or Kevin Costner? It’s happened to me!

This is not Keanu: Inside the Billion-Dollar Celebrity Impersonation Bitcoin Scam: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/hollywood-celebrity-impersonation-scam-1236309121/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&user_id=66c4c6965d78644b3ab742a0

I wrote about some of these scams before, but this article by Rebecca Keegan for The Hollywood Reporter was full of more details than I ever thought of when it comes to these scammers (and why they want to move your chat to Telegram)!

I almost hate to comment on YouTube or Facebook posts of people I don’t know, because invariably some scammer tries to lure me to another platform or chat. Ugh! It’s so annoying!

Gullible

I’m gullible at times or in a mood to see how far they’ll go, so I play along—for a little while. But I tell you, 100% of the time, it’s a scammer.

Don’t waste your time on them, please. And certainly NEVER send bitcoin, money, gift cards, etc. to anyone you don’t know!

Integrating the Spirals: Getting old sucks (Avoiding scams)

Like me, you’re probably already screening your calls and putting “Please text first” under your signature and contact information on emails. It sure seems we can’t be careful enough!

Some recent examples of scam messages:

I liked a Facebook group and had hoped to chat with someone from the project about offering them some of our original music. Nope! A scammer had taken over and replied to me instead:
I don’t answer these types of chat messages. Ugh!
Thankfully, this spammer didn’t get money from me. I was actually going to send the person money via a post for product from Barbara O’Neill. Ugh! My bank wouldn’t allow the payment to go through and that’s when it hit me that it had probably been a scam.
I saw this and thought I’d share it because even I often find it difficult to spot the difference (spot the spammers).
I’m glad I got this handy information from Chase bank!

The older I get, though I have been a tech professional for over 35 years, I can be fooled too. I just have to slow down and REALLY EXAMINE sales pitches, emails, and messages very carefully before spending any of my limited income.

Now, not to worry, I’m still having fun making movement videos.

I am focusing on feeling good. I’ve got no time (or money) for the scammers or spammers.
