Huh. Guess my bank isn’t my bank for telling me to move my money in a separate account to keep it safe (from myself).

People really do fall for this. I believe this mainly affects the elderly. Not anyone using Lemmy, but it really does exist.

I tried explaining to a nice elderly woman that the person texting her asking to buy Steam cards wasn’t actually Jason Momoa, but she couldn’t be convinced. Fortunately, the manager at that store forbid anyone from selling her any gift cards of any kind.

People think they are paying the IRS in ITunes gift cards, or the bail bondsman takes Google Play credits over the phone.
