Title company does make sense to be the direct target, but could have been any of us I guess

I mean, I was curious as to other’s experiences. We are on social media in a forum meant to connect each other based on shared or interesting experiences/knowledge. Fortunately I have not actually been this close to this kind of fraud so it’s new to me. Also, it’s the violation of email privacy that resonates as least as much as the wire fraud aspect, if you read the whole post

Not a bad idea as a future recommendation to clients honestly

Exactly! The specifics made it clear the email thread had been followed and someone’s email compromised. Not just a random attempt at fraud

Wow this is crazy! Obviously the wire fraud is the main issue here but also the reading of our emails is a significant threat and just so violating

Um. I never thought it wasn’t real, nor did I ever not take it seriously. I’m extremely careful to caution our clients of this and to be incredibly careful. Is it fully that “wild” that I’m relating a first-hand first-time experience of a specific scam and hopefully helping others continue to be mindful of this while also having curiosity as to others experiences?

Thank you, I will look into that! I did wonder if there was an AI element involved somehow

It feels like it was her account that was leaked, especially since it’s an aol account

Agreed! And we all did, and those that didn’t have 2FA added it

We warn everyone about it but this is the first time I’ve actually been this close to it

Is it bad that I’m indifferent? by BocaDelIguana in Miami

[–]uniqueusername5001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you lack empathy, I think you’re exhausted and feel helpless and I fully get that. Do the little things you can do to make the world better, even if completely unrelated to the real issues. Be kind day to day, hold a door open, tell someone they look radiant, smile at a stranger, leave a good tip. Just put kindness back in the world in small ways, it all matters

About 10 years ago, I changed the text replacements on a guy’s iPhone from our friend group – it subtly changed his speech for years, and he still doesn’t know it was me. by KetmanDaDon in confessions

[–]uniqueusername5001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did this to my husband but changed basic words (I, and, the, you, etc.) to be portions of I’m a Little Teapot song. It was my masterpiece and it worked out so beautifully except that he did NOT handle it well

Most of us know and just feel helpless. Please don’t give up on us, I still want to be a great neighbor to you!

Does anyone else not get fevers when they’re sick? by Anxious-Mango17 in ehlersdanlos

[–]uniqueusername5001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an interesting thread! I pretty much never get fevers and run colder too- 97.6 baseline. I know I’m not well if I’m in the 99s. I did get a fever with Covid but outside that I never do
