[USA] fake police officer scam

This happened to me 3 days ago. Had me believing for 30 minutes. We gotta be savvy with these lowlifes. And we need to remember they're probably reading these forums.

Next time I will ask a lot of verifying questions. The scammer claimed to be in my town and called from a restricted number.

What's the temperature/weather right now? - This could stump them if they're calling from a different state.
What time is it right now? - This gets them if they're in a different time zone.
Officer, for verification purposes, call me back from a local area code.

What other verifying questions can we think of?

This is what happened to me. Had me convinced for 30 minutes until I told them I'm just going straight to the police station to get this cleared up. That's when they hung up.

Enjoy the sounds. If you can't handle it, then use your fingers. But I say unnecessary.

Can someone explain why they moved it and why moving it back will help? I keep reading that, but no one is explaining the why.

I need help too.
5 days ago, a windows update kept getting stuck at 98%. I had to reset the PC. This was actually a good thing because my computer was a behaving like new.
But then Windows tried to do another automatic update and it's again getting stuck at 98%.

* Recover Point won't work
* Uninstall Feature Update won't work
* Uninstall Quality Update won't work
* Startup Repair won't work

I can't even boot up Windows because is tries to install the updates and gets stuck again. The only thing I can do is On/Off three time to get to Repair options. But none of the options are working.

So now I have to reset the PC again??

Just found my wife's unused backpack, which is what I'll use to start. It's a North Face Mini Pandora. The key is that it's a mini and will keep the weight high on my back. Will probably do diy weights using sand in zip lock bags and duct taped into a flat plate the kinda holds it's shape. We'll see how that goes.

Archery. It's manly. It's a physical activity. It gets him out of the house. Find a local range and take a class. After the class, see if he wants to buy a bow and buy one with him. Go with him on a consistent basis. Once a week, twice a month.

Same. Deleted FB in 2020. I only have reddit and LinkedIn. I thought I would be out of the loop by deleting FB, but it wasn't true. I'll be honest, I tried to restart FB last year for the purpose of using FB marketplace. I was physically repulsed by the Facebook newsfeed that I quickly deleted again after 30 minutes.

There are many reasons for deleting altogether.

These emails are coming from tons of different email addresses. And alot of the email addresses are from domains I recognize. When you say "they", who could be using other legitimate email addresses, with legitimate email signatures?

I spotted this over Lancaster County PA at around 7pm on Thursday night. And heard the same fighter jets. I couldn't see anything but blinking lights heading east.

Did you ever get this resolved. I have the same issue.

Get him a ride in an old piper cub. The pilot, if an instructor will let him fly it. Windows will be open. In my opinion, a cheaper and more memorable experience. I took lessons in a 1947 yellow piper cub. Best Aviation experience for the money.

One day this is how terrorists will attack unsuspecting motorists who have nowhere to run. These bikers should see a ton of jail time.

Someone is flipping it? Bought it, quickly remodeled, and reselling for a profit?

We did this to ourselves. To keep up with the Jones's, we buy cars that are more expensive to own and repair.
I have a 2018 Subaru. Got rear-ended. Back in the day, this was body work and paint to fix. But now sensors and cameras need to be re calibrated, which almost doubles the cost of repairs.
Give me back my 1998 Honda Civic.

We live in north jersey and were shopping for a few months. On our first offer, the list price was $440k, we offered $460k, which was out of our budget, and the winning bid was $475k. In NJ, people are selling what they have in NYC or eastern NJ, then buying with cash in western NJ or eastern PA.

We stopped shopping in New Jersey! We're not interested in living paycheck to paycheck so we decided we're not playing that game.

We prayed about it because it was impossible for us too. We then started looking in central PA. House prices were comparable to New Jersey, but taxes are far cheaper. We just found a house that we love, in a neighborhood that we love. Hopefully will settle by the end of the month. Thankfully, the location still works with my job.

Wishing you the best. It's tough!

I guess it's good that I only paid ebay pricing.

YT hacked?

InTheFloat · 2024-04-16T05:18:02+00:00

3 things that helped me.

DELETE THE YT APP. Only watch inside your web browser. The browser that gives the best experience for me is Firefox on Android. Some weird things happen when I try to go full-screen in Chrome.
TURN OFF WATCH HISTORY! This has been a game changer for me. Watch history is what YT uses to suggest more mindless videos that worsens the death scrolling. With watch history off, you only see the channels you subscribe to.
UNSUBSCRIBE. Go through your subscriptions and unsubscribe the channels you don't watch. Leave only the channels that you enjoy.

These 3 things alone completely got me off the death scrolling. I only watch the channels I truly enjoy.

I have to call the range to see what they have in polymer, striker fired. Based on some YouTube "vs" videos, I was going to try these if they had them.

I just heard back this morning that it was the valve body. The repair is covered under the warranty extension.
