      Perhaps its because I pre-date most internet technology, but I am extremely distrustful in all digital spaces. Everyone should’ve started being extremely distrustful years ago, if they weren’t already. Not today.

      You don’t wait for a big problem to smack you in the face. That’s how you lose 40k like our elderly friend. You just get to be in the first wave of potential victims that way.

        I grew up before the internet myself. I can’t say I’m on high alert for fake video calls lol I will be moving forward, however, now that it’s a credible threat.

          I’m not saying I don’t make video calls, mind you. I just don’t trust them 100%. Haven’t on that specific one for awhile now.

          Thus, if someone asked me for 40k via one, I would say no, and to contact me in person.
