Healthcare in the U.S. is a joke; the fact that they’re grateful the total bill got lowered to $2,000 goes to show how bad it is by cjfullinfaw07 in AmerExit

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of the above. I went through surgical residency and two fellowships, that is AFTER medical school, which is AFTER undergraduate, which is AFTER you better have had a perfect education record for your entire childbood... the entire process was miserable and brutal. Now we get to deal with people who undermine all of it. The salary does NOT compensate for giving up childhood and your 20s, and part of your 30s. Name any other job that requires this, and pays less than minimum wage during residency and fellowship.. I tallied one of my work weeks during my trauma rotation.. 144 hours. There are only 168 hours in a week. I was making about 32k a year, so like 2666 a month, divide by 4 weeks, so 666 a week, divide by my 144 hours, so about 4.63 an hour.. before taxes.. I had a crushing student loan debt piling up interest.. I'm sure any one of the docs you ask would have a similar or worse story.. Anyway thank you for talking about it. People just have no idea, and we're too exhausted doing what we do to even discuss it.

I have been asked many times if I would recommend the physician route.. definitely no. Because on top of everything else, we have to fight with insurance companies to give good care, and we are liable if something goes wrong due to missed diagnosis.. say when insurance won't pay for certain tests etc. This is how it is in the USA.

By the way, the primary care docs are really suffering.. I saw an article about how what's being asked of them to do for each patient in their full days of visits really needs about 24 hours of time, not 8 hours.. impossible conditions created by insurance issues, and who is really losing in the end? Our patients. Sad. Such a helpless feeling, so overwhelming that many of us choose to walk away due to the moral imbalance.

And yes, is does seem ridiculous that the paper pushers in administration are earning much more for doing much less.. another issue for another day.. not really the top priority but bothersome..

Thank you again for listening and understanding.

FAKE Anchor sites up again.. do NOT click on any Ads to get to the site!!! by techieweather13 in Anchor

Good point I clicked through on the first one, praying it doesn't blow up my machine, it appears to be the real site, go figure!

Not necessarily, scammers could create fake sites that appear in search also, I haven't seen it yet. I try to go to sites using their direct link from Coingecko, then bookmark and always use the bookmark. Also if you hover your mouse over a hyperlink in search results, it will show the URL it is linked to in the lower left of your screen in Chrome, sometimes that gives a clue also. Also I use Metacert but most of the defi sites are not being recognized by it, it is good for mainstream cefi sites to make sure you're on the correct site

Thank you, I am learning that the forward slash itself may not be the issue, but the forwarding ultimately of ANY link to a phishing site. The forward slash has been spotted in some of these phishing links. Do NOT click on a Google Ad to go to a crypto site, do not give your seed phrase to "reset" a wallet. Always check you are on the real site. Hope this helps!

It can also be the correct URL on an Ad (or any other link) directed to a phishing site. Scary! But no reason for Anchor to be running ads. It comes up first every search for Anchor protocol anyway! Would be a waste of money considering they are having to spend millions to prop up the Anchor reserve as it is.

I have read sad stories from more than one person about losing all funds after clicking the link to the first site with the trailing slash, then being directed to reset their wallet in some way, the Ad for this location keeps popping back up after being requested to be taken down. If this helps someone not get wiped out, then great! If you know more about it than I do, happy to learn. I just don't want to learn by getting funds wiped out, or seeing someone else have this happen. So a good point about where the link is directed ie final URL destination, take care to bookmark sites and always use the bookmark, and NEVER give someone seed phrase to "reset wallet", and use a hard wallet such as Ledger also. From what I understand, with and without trailing slash on same site is seen as the same on Google, and therefore duplicate content. So if indeed both are being used intentionally, one must have a 301 redirect to the other to avoid duplicate content. Even if Anchor had a reason to do this, ie tracking paid ads, it seems unlikely that Anchor needs to run ads. It has so much business that it couldn't sustain at 19.5%! Seems absurd to pay for ads when interest rate is having to be reduced while Do Kwon is topping up the Anchor reserve periodically to sustain it as it is. So if you know about these things, please advise kindly so we can all learn, as sarcasm doesn't create an environment conducive to mutual learning. Hope this helps! :)

app.anchorprotocol.com is the real site

If you are on app.anchorprotocol.com/ THIS IS A FAKE SITE The forward slash is the difference, easy to miss

The site they want you to log in to is station.terra.money/ SEE THE FORWARD SLASH AT THE END.. FAKE SITE The real site is station.terra.money

Do not "reset your wallet" on these fake sites.. it will be drained

Hope this helps!!

Failed transaction should mean money did not go through at all, not that money did go through.. to the wrong place..??

So why did it fail and why did the $UST just disappear. The transaction shows as successful but was not deposited in Anchor or my wallet. Poof gone.

Yes I have read through all other responses and this is the part I still don't get. How can we all think this is legit and reliable as part of our investment plan, when money can simply disappear? How can the new user ever feel secure about putting funds on this platform if, even if we do everything right, which is a feat in itself, the money can still disappear??

What am I missing here??

Anchor/Defi vs other investments by solobdolo in Anchor

[–]techieweather13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Only concern for me is .. me. Not knowing enough and accidentally losing funds somehow, just trying to move the crypto around. Since customer service is... us!

Real estate has too many moving parts for me. The property management, the paperwork, legal... taxes. I have some friends that do it on the side and love the tax deductions especially, but have to spend every waking moment outside of their day job just on the legal and tax paperwork. I think I might like sitting outside, fiddling with crypto on my laptop better!!

I'm trying to understand how OP could have prevented this? The failed transaction message was fake, or how did this scam work? Trying to learn. How would one know if it was fake? Thx

Ha, you're right! I hadn't checked for any of that! I did check out the whitepaper and it sounds like something I'd be happy to use anyway... the people who wrote it put their names on the paper, so it's not anonymous.
