This season, I’m only shopping on well-known websites. I list the reasons why in this short podcast.
Medicare’s not calling: Open enrollment season almost guarantees you’re going to get more scam calls. Real Medicare won’t call unless they’ve mailed you first. If someone wants your SSN over the phone, they’re shopping for gullible folks. These scammers aren’t sloppy either, they’re international pros who can drain tens of thousands before you notice.
Dress like your favorite TV character: ShopYourTV tells you exactly what they’re wearing and where to buy it, down to the season and episode. The site links to Amazon and they get a commission on what you buy.
💔 Swindler swiped: Shimon Hayut, infamous as the “Tinder Swindler,” is back in jail. The con man from Netflix’s 2022 doc, was arrested in Georgia after allegedly scamming a Berlin woman out of $52K. Netflix might want to go ahead and greenlight Season 2.
🎮 Game over, cheaters: You’ll be banned forever if you’re caught selling your Call of Duty account. This is a big problem, so Activision is adding new anti-cheat tech before Season 3 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone starts.
