I just got finished reading this on Reddit.

I can relate. I have an Apple family set up on my iPhone. I got an email the other day with a receipt from apple confirming a purchase of a game or a movie, I can’t remember which one. I asked all my kids and wife if they made the purchase. They all said no. I was so pissed that my kids probably purchased a game or movie and just didn’t want to tell me so I clicked on the link in the email to log into my apple account with my apple ID.

It all looked legit from apple. I logged in with my credentials and I even entered my Apple Card credentials as well! After realizing that my kids were telling the truth, I started looking more into the email address that contacted me as well as the site I was directed to via the email. The email address was not an apple address…and the website only had one clickable link. THEY GOT ME!

Because I was acting in haste I didn’t do my normal due diligence and my normal routine to verify if the email was legit, which it wasn’t. It was a typical phishing scam. I immediately changed my Apple ID and I requested new numbers (which can be done with a click on the iPhone) for my Apple Card.

A few hours later I noticed several failed purchase attempts on my Apple Card. The scammer was attempting to use my card information to make large purchases online. It was good I caught this fast enough.

Lesson learned is don’t allow your anger/haste of seeing a family member making a purchase from a shared account without your permission cause you to act quickly to reverse the charge. After all, the game or movie was only a few dollars. I wound up not losing anything except a few minutes of my time that it took to change my Apple ID and my Apple Card information.

Completely respect that. “Mock” scammed..? That’s a new one. Never heard of that.

Breez works well. The one question I have about Pheonix…the seed phrase you get, can it be used with another wallet to restore?

In Breez you get a 12 word “seed phrase” but from what I read on Breez it’s not actually a seed phrase and it can only be used to restore you wallet on the Breez platform.

Can anyone clarify the same for Pheonix please…

I would not be supprised if some of the most well known, prominent software developers/engineers, coders and the like are also hackers who scam and exploit.

The reason I come to this conclusion is, who else has the knowledge and skill sets to pull off these exploits? If one had these skill sets what would be holding them back from using them to scam, exploit, and hack?

What are your thoughts…?

“The inevitability of death, and the finitude of time, and hence its scarcity, necessitate a constant accounting for opportunity cost, and from that comes all of man’s economic thinking and action. All human actions consume time and therefore come at the cost of forgone actions. Understanding scarcity in general as resulting from the scarcity of time helps us understand opportunity cost, and why the economic way of thinking must always include the cost of the forgone alternative. Since human time is scarce, it is valuable to humans. There is thus always an alternative valuable use of time available for an individual, which must be taken into account.”
