59 Sneaky Scams Millennials Fall For—And How to Outsmart Them Before It’s Too Late
Lesson learned: never order anything off of social media ads.
There’s a popular one right now. I first heard of it on the Crime Junkies podcast, but then it actually happened to me! Funny how that works. Here it goes:
A man calls your cell and tells you he is with such and such police department and you have an outstanding warrant. It’s fairly elaborate and convincing, and because of the shock value of hearing you having a warrant, it immediately gives you panic and alters your rationality. That person will give you the option to venmo the department to remove the warrant. If it happens to you, tell the person that you will wait to be served in person by a process server….or just f**k with the guy. Up to you.
Saw an ad that said, people born between this time period might be entitled to money. My interest was piqued, so I clicked. Got 3 phone calls in a matter of minutes.
