Watching me while I’m browsing the net?
Good. I could use a house.
This is so good. Congratulations.
I’ve gotten a few of these, but I just moved so it only included Google maps images of my old apartment, and I guess the data scrape didn’t get my phone number, so it included language like “I bet you wouldn’t like it if I called you at 0000000000, would you?”
I’m savvy enough to laugh and delete, but I’m sure this would be very effective against some older Americans.
Authy had a data leak that resulted in partial leak of phone numbers. God an email with this weak ass opener “I could’ve called 123xxxxx567 but I didn’t”
bitch barely tried 🤣
Yeah, I definitely knew it was fake when they called it a “beautiful neighborhood”. My friend did you even look at the picture you sent?
Ha! I don’t even have a house!
nice setup, by the way
thanks man, but how did you get a picture of my room ?!?
My wife got that one twice already. Not very bright people.
I got this one
I got example 1 verbatim about a month ago complete with Google street view picture of my house. Jokes on them, all of my porn viewing is on an ancient tablet that does not have a front facing camera.
Me too. They had an old address I lived at five years ago. I’m shaking, I’m shaking.
That’s the way to win. Never fill in your actual address. Just keep them trying and make up new fake addresses as soon as you can.
I’ve got a variant of this one about 15 times (minus the picture of my house). I sometimes read it out to my partner for the luls. I never keep a web cam attached to my computer, so I find it even more hilarious with the details they go into about my jerking activities and the questionable porn I watch (everything I enjoy is insanely tame lol)
You make it tempting to actually read scam email …. Almost
I especially like when they tell me my address lol, as if I’m supposed to be scared into responding.
Gahhh they figured out how to use a publicly available database!
Just you wait till they figure out what the phone book is!
It’s all good.
I’ll just call it a deepfake and get on with my life.
Hi, can you send me copy of the video too? You have me email address.
I’m torn between asking them to put up or shut up, and maybe just not confirming they got an address that still works.
I keep kind of hoping I get this one. I’m ace, so I definitely haven’t been watching porn of any kind, and my house has changed dramatically since the last time google came by, so it would just be entertaining. But then I see people on nextdoor all freaked out that “someone has pictures of their house,” and it makes me wish for a large, extremely targeted sinkhole to open up under all these scammers.
My sister got the one where the scam says her son got into a car accident and - mumbling through ‘a broken jaw’ so thats why the voice is off - Officer Peterson needs to arrange bail, but off the books.
It was surprisingly effective, and my sister had a freakin’ heart attack as any parent would, and THOSE people can rot in a hell made of mealworms, ticks and black flies.
My grandma almost fell for this. Asked my mom what to do. Mom almost fell for it. After an hour of freaking out and preparing to go buy itunes gift cards or whatever it was, my mom thought to call me. “Oh my god are you ok what happened where are you etc”
Uhh I’m at my apartment, getting ready for work.
Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam.
My mom and I have talked about that kind of thing and she knows to call me directly if someone ever tries to say something happened to me. She’s not stupid, but maybe just not growing up with people constantly trying to scam her at every turn hasn’t prepared her for the depths these assholes will sink to, and they’ve gotten so much more sophisticated.
I wonder what those do with people who live in apartment buildings, lol.
It will show street view of the building or road
Pointless – you need to beep through 4 doors to get to my unit. Hell, the elevator won’t even take you to the right floor unless you can get a fob from one of my neighbours so that button will work. Stairs are locked to get ONTO a floor, so they’re only good as exit stairs without another key that only firemen get, and you can’t get in by rappelling onto my patio either, Ethan Hunt.
Nobody wants to get into your apartment. This thread is about a digital scam. Have you been paying attention at all?
