    My brother and I are very aware of phishing scams. The ones shown here would probably fool even us looking pretty legit at a glance.
    I imagine they still catch many people, even those aware if their attention is divided or fall for the 'immediate attention' part of the snare.

      That happened to me the other day, but fortunately I immediately realized and signed all devices out and changed my password
      I'm trying to sell a computer, and after talking with someone a little bit, they asked me to "prove I was real" by giving them a verification code. Said code was straight up verification for my Google account, and I was distracted gaming so my dumbass just straight up gave it to her

    I was once phished from a silly bot sending fake links to Discord users who have "rare" badges like me (or at least I think they were targeting the "rare" discord accounts). They got into my account and changed the email and password. My account has my one debit card linked to it and they even tried purchasing the highest Discord nitro for $99.99 which my card declined. I contacted Discord support to help me out, but they replied DAYS later basically saying they couldn't do anything since I had 2FA enabled and I did not have the backup codes to disable 2FA due to changing computers and resetting my OS and losing files, etc. So, a month goes by and I apparently did enough complaining to Discord throughout that month that I eventually got somebody from their staff team to turn off 2FA for me manually, even though their forums say that they can't do such thing for you if you are hacked (which is so dumb). The day they disabled 2FA for me so that I could reset my password and re-gain access to my account was also the day a new TOS email was sent around from Discord so I wonder if they changed something so that they could help me and others out with the sort of issue I had. Anyways, I got my account back and left the servers and friends the loser who took my account added me to. All good now, but I almost lost everything. Be safe guys, make sure to check what you read and click on/sign in to.

    That happened to me in one giveaway. The scammer has used the same username obv an sent me a link to claim my prize. Out of curiosity i clicked it but it wanted me to pay like one dollar with my credit card to claim my prize even though in the messege it said it was free. Then i realised that it was a scam. I checked the profile and what a suprise. It had way lower followers. So be carefull out there and think before falling for this type of stuff. Stay safe!

    the interesting thing to note about the usps scam, i wanted to see the main site from in which the webpage was being hosted on, but instead of taking me to some website, it took me to a server directory page of some kind, it would show what some of the things on the server was. some were restricted, but what wasn't restricted i was able to download. In my case, one of the files had an api key of some kind, i think it was for a telegram bot. Maybe try to pick apart these sites if it's possible, you might find something interesting.

    I recently was going to be scammed. I had applied for a new credit card and a few weeks after i recieved my card, i get a call from this guy who claims to be a bank guy. Mind ya, the call went from straight 9 AM to 3 PM, him calling me at regular intervals.
    He took my acc number(and yes i was in college during this whole time, my dad did all this), and a few other details and then asked my dad the CVV number which isnt supposed to be revealed. Dad got sus and made some excuses.
    Me back from home got to know this. Scared the f out of me. Immediately blocked my card (it wasnt actually even activated, for some reason i didnt want to activate it and thank god i never did it!!).
    The scammer knew that the card wasnt activated and persuaded my dad to get it activated. Dad was smart enough so again he made some excuses.
    At 4 PM i got a bunch of activation request links and codes, i was like bwuh stop it XD all this is in vain, really my family was having a good time see him struggle. The scammer also attempted to perform a ~$1000 transaction but guess what? dad recommended me to keep a low balance initially so i only had like $50 in my acc XD.
