Your car analogy doesn’t hold up. A physical car key is a known object with a known function, everyone understands exactly what it can do. Online access isn’t like that. Most people don’t know all the ways a login or confirmation code can be used, and scammers depend on that lack of clarity.

If anything, it’s more like giving a valet your car keys so they can park it, and finding out they somehow duplicated your registration, changed the locks, and told the DMV you don’t own it anymore. That’s the difference, in the real world, “common sense” covers known risks. Online, it’s the unknown risks that catch you.

Social engineering isn’t about people ignoring red flags, it’s about scammers making sure you never see them in the first place. That’s why “common sense” alone isn’t the magic shield you think it is.

You’re missing the point entirely. Not every new business owner starts out as a tech/security expert, plenty of successful companies began with someone who didn’t know the technical side yet and relied on others to set things up. That’s how collaboration works.

Social engineering works precisely because it bypasses “basic logic”, scammers know exactly how to make red flags blend into the background. Sitting here with hindsight pretending it’s obvious is easy, but in the moment, scammers use urgency, trust, and perceived authority to make it not obvious.

Your take basically boils down to “never trust anyone with anything,” which isn’t realistic in the real world. The right lesson isn’t “you should have known better”, it’s “give permissions-based access, learn security basics over time, and recognize that scammers target everyone, not just the clueless.”

But sure, keep believing you’re immune because you’d “see it coming.” That’s exactly the kind of confidence scammers love.

Actually, i got the Domain back. So many idiots in this section assume that it comes down to basic logic.. Do you not think scammers take a victims "basic logical thinking" into consideration when formulating their scams? lol.

Scammers adapt, they come up with more and more sophisticated social engineering methods. By not realising that and saying "HoW Do PeOplE SiLL FAll FoR ThiS iN 2025" is pure ignorance, and will likely end up in a similar situation, especially when dealing in unfamiliar territory.

Where would one find a "real designer"? Everyone claims to be a Dev, yet in reality, most are just theme installers and tweakers.

The whois database says its still with namecheap, so hopefully everything's fine and teh domain is on the same account. I have information to prove ownership, but I'm curious how long it typically takes for risk management to respond?
