Beware of Scammers! Lost 3000 euros with just one stupid click!

I want to share my experience to warn you all and hopefully prevent you from falling into the same trap. Recently, I was scammed out of 3000 euros through a single careless click.

It all started with an email that seemed totally normal. I thought it was important and clicked the link without thinking twice. Unfortunately, soon after, I noticed money disappearing from my account.

My advice to you:

1. Never click on links from unknown senders.

2. Double-check URLs and avoid sites that look suspicious.

3. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t let this happen to you. Stay cautious out there!

Notice on Comments

Hello! Just popping in real quick to say that I’ve gotten a couple suspicious comments with nonsense & a link. For reference, they look like this:

I am deleting comments like these without regard because they are likely spam or malicious links. As such, please refrain from posting any links on my fanfics -- of course, exceptions can be made with thorough explanation and verification that the links aren’t malicious or spam, but if they seem suspicious I will 100% delete comments from here on out that strike me as bots or as potentially dangerous.

That being said, allow me to run through a little Online Scam PSA. If you are unsure of the warning signs of a scam, hazard links, etc, please click to read more :)

 I highly recommend all my followers to study up on ways to prevent yourself from being hacked or scammed -- be wary of any suspicious/unprompted emails, comments, or messages promising some kind of financial support or “free” gift. If you can, avoid even clicking on a message (especially DMs or texts) as these can potentially lead to your computer or account being hacked. Absolutely, under no circumstances should you ever send money to people you are unfamiliar with, unprompted and unreasonably. If they are accusing you of debt and are demanding payment through gift cards or Bitcoin, it is a 100% a scam and you will not be able to receive your money back.

I am not a legal reference, but my dad is a fraud detective who specializes in Embezzlement, Pyramid Schemes/White Collar Crime, and most common forms of Fraud, so I try to offer that knowledge whenever possible to protect others. If you’re ever unsure if something is a scam or if an offer seems too good to be true, it’s likely bad news :D But seriously, don’t be afraid to drop in my DMs any questions/comments/concerns if y’all have any questions on the matter bc the world is crazy rn and none of us can afford to lose more money than we already are XD

I’m more active on my main Tumblr @danni-dollarsign, so send DMs there if you can! Thank you and pls be careful out there!!!

2023 / 06

Aperçu of the Week:

"We wanted the best, but it came as usual."

(Viktor Chernomyrdin, former Russian prime minister, in 1993)

Bad News of the Week:

The image of the "People's Democratic Republic" of North Korea is often described as Stone Age communism. While the majority of the population suffers from extreme poverty and, in some cases, famine, Kim Yong Un stages himself as a monarch and operates a strange cult of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, which he sees as life insurance for his own despotic regime. All of this is done under the eyes of China, a protective power that is difficult to understand, and in distinction from the economically successful brother nation of South Korea.

For a long time, North Korea existed like a country on another planet. Hardly any information penetrated to the outside or the inside, the communicative isolation seemed perfect, the media control total. This still works internally, but in recent months it is the World Wide Web, of all places, on whose map the country is no longer a blank spot. On the one hand, North Korea operates extremely successful hacker cohorts who, in addition to various espionage and disinformation campaigns, also managed to collect at least $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency through online fraud and data extortion. In other words, a concretely lucrative business that flushes foreign currency into the state coffers.

What is unclear, however, is the objective of what is currently the second notable North Korean Internet phenomenon: an apparently broad-based social media offensive. In a series of channels, which according to CNN are new and have been astonishingly successful in a short time, the country is staging itself as a pleasant home for seemingly normal teenagers. Who speak perfect English with a British accent. Who, for example, enjoy popsicles and love to read Harry Potter. Only the former is hardly available and the latter is even officially banned. Why is this done? Good question.

The videos "look like a well-prepared play" scripted by the North Korean government, said Park Seong-cheol, a researcher at the Database Centre for North Korean Human Rights. The scenes shown from the alleged everyday life of youngsters are not completely fake, but staged. For example, there is a water park, a movie theater and an amusement park in Pyongyang. Only these facilities are reserved for an elite class of party officials, military officers and government employees. Like the Internet access these strange influencers use - just like the smartphones that aren't actually available. What's the point when, according to the CIA fact book, only 26% of the population even has electricity? It would be nice if the North Korean tourist office, which wants to open the country's borders to international tourism, were behind this.

More likely, however, it is a red herring. With which the regime wants to influence the current narrative: North Korea is not an isolated country that could attack its neighbors and the United States with nuclear weapons. But rather an ordinary East Asian country where ordinary people like you and me live ordinary lives. Combined with the recent spate of missile launch tests, the latest expansion of the Nyŏngbyŏn nuclear facility documented with satellite imagery, and a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) unveiled just last Wednesday at the 75th anniversary of the founding of the armed forces, this leaves a queasy feeling.

Good News of the Week:

Probably the death toll of 28,000 from the earthquake in the Turkish-Syrian border region is out of date by the time I post this. The worst series of quakes since scientific records began has devastated an area where nearly 20 million people live. And as events unfold, a whole series of negative findings are coming to light.

The Turkish government is not implementing the regulations that actually apply to buildings in the latently earthquake-prone region. Neither Syria's ruler Bashar al-Assad nor the rebels in the north of the country are allowing solid disaster relief by foreign forces. Enemy nations cannot be stopped from attacking each other even in this situation. Even in the Near East, there are sub-zero temperatures at this time of year. And the Kurds remain constantly the biggest loosers of them all anyway.

Fortunately, many humanitarian highlights are also showing up in the face of adversity. For example, even Sweden, reviled by Erdogan, is sending aid workers to eastern Anatolia. So is the beleaguered Ukraine, which surely would have been admitted a different set of priorities. And those that don't have appropriately equipped aid workers, like the United Arab Emirates, are opening their wallets. And every day there are - still! - improbable miracles, such as the rescue of a heavily pregnant woman who was rescued yesterday after 115 hours under rubble.

What somehow makes one optimistic despite the terrible circumstances is humanity. When people stand by each other in times of need, even though the religion they believe in actually dictates enmity. When official requirements are suspended in order to allow family members who have become homeless to travel to their relatives in Germany, for example. Or when the international community thinks not only about the current rescue, but also about reconstruction afterwards - the EU has already announced a donor conference for those affected.

Even the self-proclaimed crown of creation, which likes to define itself in terms of greed, resentment, jealousy or hatred, is capable of empathy. It's nice that the term "humanity" still has a positive connotation. Even though we so often seem to go out of our way to change that. The heart is probably more than just a blood-pumping muscle after all. And conscience more than a transmission in the synapses of the brain.

Personal happy moment of the week:

I broke a bottle of red wine while shopping the other day. And moistened various purchases in the carrier bag. I noticed most of it and was able to clean and dry it. That the red wine also flowed into a box of cigarillos, I did not even notice. Not until I wanted to smoke one and had a damp, soft stem in my hand. So I put the box open on the heater in the office. And discovered two pleasant side effects of my mishap: the smell of red wine and tobacco at work has an comfortable calming effect. And the taste of the cigarillos gets a pleasant additional flavor. From that perspective, I was able to profitably recycle some of the spilled red wine.

I couldn't care less...

...whether the former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Hans-Georg Maaßen, who is increasingly conspicuous for his racist and conspiracy-theory tones, can be officially expelled from the conservative CDU. Or whether the high good of freedom of speech also protects him within the party from accountability for his unspeakable statements. The fact that an obviously extreme right-winger could rise as a political official to become the head of the most important authority for upholding the state of lawfulness, of all things, weighs considerably more heavily and calls for more consequences than which membership card he carries around with him.

As I write this...

...I'm drinking a beer not even five hours after I got up today. A tough week in many ways takes its toll. And I tackle the challenge of relaxing Bavarian style.

Post Scriptum

In the German capital Berlin, the House of Representatives will be newly elected today - as a repeat election. This is because the regional election that took place in the fall of 2021 parallel to the federal election was declared invalid by the Administrative Court due to numerous mishaps - from ballots running hout to polling stations closing too late. Realpolitically less relevant, since no result of the election would change e.g. the majority conditions in the Bundesrat, is a look on Berlin nevertheless interesting. On the one hand, out of sarcasm, since this debacle also fits perfectly with the prejudice that simply nothing works in this city. On the other hand, out of curiosity, since in the end every conceivable party constellation is indeed possible. The extent of my tendency toward the former will depend on the first projection in less than an hour on the latter.

Navigating the Digital Landscape: Understanding and Preventing Online Fraud

In today's interconnected world, the internet has revolutionized the way we communicate, shop, and conduct business. However, with the convenience of online transactions comes the risk of falling victim to various forms of online fraud. From identity theft to phishing scams, cybercriminals continuously devise new ways to exploit unsuspecting individuals. In this blog, we'll delve into the world of online fraud, explore common tactics used by cybercriminals, and provide practical tips to protect yourself from falling prey to these scams.

Understanding Online Fraud:

Online fraud encompasses a wide range of malicious activities aimed at deceiving individuals into divulging personal information, making unauthorized transactions, or compromising their digital security. Some common types of online fraud include:

Phishing Scams: Phishing involves the use of deceptive emails, messages, or websites to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or social security numbers.

Identity Theft: Identity theft occurs when cybercriminals steal personal information to assume someone else's identity for financial gain. This can involve opening fraudulent accounts, applying for loans, or making unauthorized purchases.

Payment Fraud: Payment fraud involves unauthorized transactions made using stolen credit card information, compromised bank accounts, or counterfeit payment methods.

Online Shopping Scams: Online shopping scams lure unsuspecting consumers with attractive deals or counterfeit products, only to steal their payment information or never deliver the promised goods.

Protecting Yourself from Online Fraud:

While online fraud can seem daunting, there are proactive steps you can take to protect yourself and minimize the risk of falling victim to these scams:

Stay Informed: Educate yourself about common online fraud tactics and stay informed about the latest scams circulating online. Awareness is your first line of defense against cyber threats.

Use Strong Passwords: Create strong, unique passwords for your online accounts and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. Avoid using easily guessable passwords or sharing them with others.

Verify Sources: Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments in unsolicited emails or messages. Verify the sender's identity and scrutinize URLs for signs of phishing attempts.

Secure Your Devices: Keep your computer, smartphone, and other devices updated with the latest security patches and antivirus software. Enable firewalls and encryption to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Shop Securely: Only make online purchases from reputable websites with secure payment systems. Look for HTTPS encryption and padlock symbols in the browser address bar to ensure a secure connection.

Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly review your bank statements, credit card transactions, and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Report any unauthorized charges or discrepancies to your financial institution immediately.

Protect Personal Information: Be cautious about sharing personal information online, especially on social media platforms. Limit the amount of personal information you disclose and adjust privacy settings to restrict access to your profiles.

Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter any suspicious emails, messages, or websites, report them to the appropriate authorities or organizations. Reporting scams helps protect others from falling victim to similar fraud schemes.

Conclusion:

As our lives increasingly move online, it's essential to remain vigilant and proactive in protecting ourselves from online fraud. By staying informed, using strong security practices, and exercising caution when navigating the digital landscape, we can minimize the risk of falling victim to cybercrime and safeguard our digital well-being. Together, let's build a safer and more secure online environment for everyone.
