Still, how could I have been such easy prey? Scam victims tend to be single, lonely, and economically insecure with low financial literacy. I am none of those things. I’m closer to the opposite. I’m a journalist who had a weekly column in the “Business” section of the New York Times.

The fact she honestly fell for "dont tell anyone, stick cash in a box and hand it to a guy who wont show you any ID" is just mindblowing.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 16 February 2024 05:46 (three months ago) link
Yeah, single and arguably lonely here, but I’d never do that.

doesn't seem like one of the best examples of this scam, but some acquaintances of friends and coworkers have been scammed by similar, if more elegant, schemes and the two things in common are immediate threats to life/livelihood and the implication that hanging up the phone will have immediate consequences
I have some sympathy and would like to point my finger and laugh, but the stigma of the whole thing means a lot of people never report that they were scammed and that's how this shit keeps happening

in short: phoned up and told their identity had been stolen, was being used by miscreants of some description, that their bank wasn't safe, to take out a bunch of money and give it to some bloke who pinky-sweared he was from the cia.

i want to be clear that her status as a scam victim is not what's worthy of derision. it's the framing of "How could I possibly be a clueless rube? I'm a financial advice columnist for the New York Times!"

Wowww. Would love to see the courtroom argument about 80 bpm footwork tracks with a backbeat. Also amapiano, dancehall, and NOLA bounce are about to become hot commodities in Chechnya.
