Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for not being here. I was in hospital the last week. So I'm on the mend and looking forward to seeing how you all have been,......how have you all been? Anything fun or interesting you'd like to share???

This one came in today. The Paypal portion approximates legitimacy, but 1) the return email address does not match the name. 2) "Call to cancel" is not how iPhone purchases work. For the practice of it, what else are you spotting?

Happy Monday, Scam Fighters! ☕💪 If you’ve already checked your email before your first cup of coffee… you’re braver than most of us. 😅 Remember — scammers love Mondays too.

Investment scams, particularly in cryptocurrency, are rampant on social media. This was the scam I fell for. I did my 'research' and I thought I was ok to proceed. I was not and I lost thousands of dollars. Scammers promise high returns with little risk and often create a sense of urgency. We know this!! Research and I mean research any investment opportunity thoroughly and avoid sending money to anyone who contacts you directly on social media. Has anyone here been affected by a cryptocurrency scam??
