I just made the mistake of saying the same kind of cunts who would vote for Ricky Gervais to be PM are the same breed of pricks who voted in Trump on my Twitter and now my normally quiet feed is awash with idiots.

I’m about to go do a meet and greet with the original red Power Ranger, who is currently facing 20 years in prison for Covid relief funds fraud.
Today is an odd day.

He was looking hungover and disheveled and was clad in the kind of “I LIKE GUNS AND FREEDOM” gear that only right wingers or people from Iowa wear.

If just ONE of the six yellow jackets standing around the hole in the ground outside of my window since 8am yesterday morning did some actual work, they might be able to get home a bit quicker.

Opened a packet of Walkers Cheese and Onion crisps.
Man, they are hitting the spot particularly well tonight.

Crisps are the best savoury snack.
N. B. I may also have had some cadbury's buttons too. To balance the crisps with something sweet.

I think this was a review for Hulu? I don't even know from the title or text, but it was the highest reviewed err review for Hulu when downloading the app.

I'm seeing a large increase in the number of scam texts recently.
I've lost count of the number of parcels waiting for me to arrange a new delivery due to missing postage.
O2 keep telling me that will have to suspend my account if I don't pay my bill.
Today though, poor Apple has had to suspend my ApplePay account due to an admin error.
Every single one can be rectified quickly for my convenience by clicking some random ass link. Who the fuck falls for this crap?

Tbh calling people who fall for it thick or whatever just feels a bit victim blamey.
A fair portion of folks who fall to this will be old folks having senile moments, for example.
Not even them being thick, but a combination of not being that tech savvy combined with declining faculties makes it very easy to fall victim.
Some scams are very easy to spot but when you get the ones that look genuine, I'm not going to blame somebody for not realising.
I do wonder if so many look shit in order to make the better produced scams seen more legit.

I've also noticed a marked increase in the past month or so. Each one gets forwarded to O2's 'Report Spam' number - fuck knows if they do anything.
I am particularly enjoying the new format of:
"Hi mum i'm texting you off a friends phone i've smashed mine and their phones about to die can you whatsap my new number xxxx please its important x"

Yeah, it's often aimed at non-tech savvy and particularly older people and they do a massive sweep of numbers in the hope of getting a few responses. My (elderly) parents and my (elderly) neighbour have just be told to ask me if they're not sure. It's easier to tell them something isn't genuine every single time than it is to help them recover from identity theft and financial loss.

I had one the other week ago. It was an absolute blinder if I must say...
"Hello mum , I dropped my phone in the toilet and I'm messaging you from my mates number and their phone is dying please could you WhatsApp me on..."

Can you still forward texts to 7726 where you are? I know it works in the UK and US.
The number's probably spoofed anyway, but in that case, the network operator should be blocking it and they'll get in bother if they don't (allegedly). Anyway, reporting them helps.

I had a call a couple of hours ago saying there's been a £300 Amazon order and a £1500 international money order and to press 1 to stop them. I just hung up and checked my account. However, my father in law has been caught out twice by them, to the point of installing software on his machine. Thankfully people have walked in on him each time at that point and realised what was going on. I stupidly clicked on a link the other day when I was tired, doing too much and misread an email I received. I then realised and did a virus scan etc, but it's easy to do. You sound like you'd be more than qualified to be Home Secretary of the country.

I always just immediately block those emails and texts, but since you've actually accidentally clicked on one, where do they lead?

Just now I very nearly downloaded an exe file without thinking while trying to get a printer driver for a laptop at work. I clicked on the google result just below the proper Samsung website, not realising that it wasn't just another link to a slightly more relevant page on the Samsung website. It was only when chrome kept blocking the download that I even thought the url looked weird.
This is how it starts isn't it...
