@maxleibman True. No one ever wants to talk to me. Even my mum only called me to ask for money for her operation. 😡

@maxleibman basically how I treat any incoming phone calls tbh. I don't even say hi for a couple seconds if I do answer, mostly it's clicks and disconnects.

@maxleibman my dentist has been hounding me for a bill they decided i owed. they're using a really sketchy looking mail server so i ignored it. i called them and not only is it supposed to be legit, they will never mail me the bill unless it goes to collections.

Good advice, Max.
I just assume that if anybody contacts me about anything, it must be a scam.
Life is so much simpler with zero trust.
(FYI: In case anyone didn't notice, this response is dripping with sarcasm.)

Would they lie to you honey? (oh, no, no no) //
Now would they say something that wasn't true? //
I'm asking you sugar, would they lie to you?

Reminder, any interaction with anybody is intended to change the recipient's behavior, whether one wants it or not, and therefore is technically a violation of that person's right to self-determination

@davidbcohen

If I dream about someone, I still am going to demand they say our pre-agreed secret password, so I know it's really them.

"Is really that you, mom?
Oh, I have missed you!
But first I need you to say..."

@maxleibman I got two unsolicited and very detailed/specific mails last week. One from an art project asking if I wanted to be involved, the other from a record label asking me if I wanted to release with them.

I of course instantly assumed it was a very intricate scam.

Did a load of digging around, and well, came to the conclusion that these were actually genuine mails. Couldn't quite believe it. This never happens.

  • If someone has a Mastodon account, it is a scam
  • If someone uses social media, it is a scam

I was called half an hour ago by a very strongly Indian accented man who claimed to be from a legal firm and asking was this the best number for the legal team to contact me about my compensation. *

I said no, because you're a scammer. Now **** off.

I should have played with him I suppose, to stop him calling someone else for a while.

*No idea what compensation. My little greenhouse did blow over this morning, maybe it was that.
