Stephen FoskettFirst off, they’re emailing me constantly with phishing attempts (like the image supposedly showing a #Trezor update on Medium) that are decently constructed but not really convincing. Just look at the sender address and the whole scam becomes clear.
They’re also constantly sending me Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App account reset texts. Amazingly these services don’t combat spam and phishing attempts in bulk so I’ll get a half dozen a day. As far as I can tell these are legit reset texts so they must also be trying to clone my SIM.
I locked down my SIM as best as I could with the service provider but this is pretty concerning since there are tons of stories about successful SIM cloning even with the security turned on.
Then there are the constant password request emails. A dozen or more a day. I’m sure they’re aggressively attacking my email provider to get into my account.
And did I mention lots of Trezor-related attacks? I think there was an email address breach at Trezor so they know I have one. This must be why they think I have tons of Bitcoin (I don’t have any!!)
I don’t even use Zelle or Cash App. And the only time I ever used Venmo was to tip the piano player at the Brown Palace in Denver. If you’re ever there, go see John Kite. He’s amazing!
I created account to try to lock it down, and it appears that you can’t do that. Venmo doesn’t even support 2FA!?
FallsMom 🌻I stopped using Paypal years ago due to the constant spam/scam emails. ..
Not using Paypal or Venmo makes me a sort of outlier in my family/friends groups.....
@FallsMom but you essentially can’t turn these things off. If you don’t have an account, it will just automatically try to create one for you in your email address or phone number. And then it will email you or text you. I hate that.
