More of a P.S.A. than a question.

Watch out for the phishers. I have been hit up by some three times this week.

I get rid of them by asking why they picked me to write to. They avoid answering

at first, but if you keep at them they stop P.M.ing you.

@shaelan Did you mess with them a bit or just cut them loose?

shaelan · 41-45, M

I responded. We'll see where it goes. I world hsve reported it but there's no scam or link yet. @Dainbramadge

@shaelan Oh.. I never even thought to report them. Good thinking.

I've worked in fraud prevention so it's obvious to me, but the paper trail still needs to exist. @Dainbramadge

@shaelan Gotcha. So dragging them on could not only be fun but productive as well? Cool. I will take a whole new look at it now. :-)

It can also keep them busy, in a way, but I suspect they won't respond after their message has been left unanswered for half a day, for instance. @Dainbramadge
