@CaptainJanegay @iokiwi @glitzersachen @Extelec @Edent Iām a working age, very tech savvy adult who is paying attention, and this absolutely might still get me if the timing of the notification was right. @TheEjj @CaptainJanegay @iokiwi @glitzersachen @Extelec @Edent the notification absolutely should've said "did you call us" rather than "are you on the phone with us". Even that's easy to miss but one would nees to be very paranoid to suspect this one. @TheEjj @CaptainJanegay @glitzersachen @Extelec @Edent just reminded me about this article from @pluralistic published a couple months ago about how he got scammed. https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/05/cyber-dunning-kruger/#swiss-cheese-security My mistake --- I wanted to answer to the OP, not not yours or satisfy *your* interest. My heartfelt apologies.  @iokiwi @glitzersachen @CaptainJanegay @Extelec @Edent Yes, the reaction is correct, but it is far from obvious to most people. Or even people who know better, if you catch them at the right moment. |
@iokiwi @glitzersachen @Extelec @Edent Yes. I'm also not so much interested in whether it's obvious to a working-age, relatively tech savvy adult who's paying attention.
I want to know if it's obvious to my last scam-related client, who was a woman in her 70s, run off her feet caring for her husband who had dementia, already worried about money, and who picked up the call - thinking it could be a family emergency - while she was cooking dinner & running late.
