This is such a clear and empowering breakdown, thank you for sharing it. I love how you turned what could’ve been a stressful and intimidating moment into a chance to learn and strengthen your systems. The reminder that scammers rely on pressure and confusion really hits home. Also, your point about AI being both a potential threat and a tool for defence is spot on, and an important reminder that we can flip the script by taking a breath and using the tools available to us!
I ask GPT about many things like this. Actually, just the other day I got a message saying they really loved my profile picture on the app and wanted to use it for an art model... I was very flattered, however, my photo on that app is the default graphic so something was a little sus 😂
I threw it into Chat GPT and, yep, it was a scam to get you to click on their malware link.
From extended warranties to single hot babes in your area, nothing is safe. I don't get it either. Like, if you're smart enough to understand and use malware, can't you find an honest way to get money? Ffs 🤦
Wait….I haven’t moved to another city just because of all the single ladies in my area. Are you telling me it isn’t real?! 😭
In all seriousness for them is a numbers game. Rather than trying to get more efficient they mass send these scams. If they have a 1% “conversion” rate and send thousands of scams per day (which is not hard if you automate it). You suddenly have hundreds of people falling for it

That’s right. Take a deep breath and don’t panic 😊
There are many ways we can protect our selves. Even talking with someone about it can make a huge difference

They are really creative. Some of the scams I don’t actually understand how they can possibly turn it into getting money from you 😂

Oh no, the ones in your area are definitely real!
Yeah, and their number game is annoying as shit! I have never wanted to punch people in the face more than them.
