This post on how scammers use Chase's confirmation system to get victims to open up their accounts:
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/05/bank-scammers-using-genuine-push-notifications-to-trick-their-victims/Decades ago, we saw universal connectivity as a path to freedom. Instead, we have created a world where we are literally subject to dozens (if not many more) attempts to rip us off every day. We've made a world that is much more predatory and hostile, and it is getting worse.
Thus far, I've managed to avoid falling victim to any of these attempts. But I can only wonder when, as I get older and more confused and the scammers get more sophisticated, that will change. "When", rather than "if", seems like the relevant word here.
Oh well...I guess I'll get more coffee and read more email, I'm sure that will make me feel better.
