no kidding. i literally berated my mother for answering a weird phone call and then i proceeded to fall for the following scams:
1. a text message saying a postal package couldn't be delivered and needed an extra postage amount (in my defense it was the exact same day that I was expecting a package). i paid for the extra 20 cents with a credit card that was then charged for various purchases at Walmart, every single magazine (i have no idea why magazines). I'm still unsubscribing from online magazines.
2. ordered a book on conspiracies from random website (never showed up)
3. something else i've already forgotten
