THE PINK LADY AGAINST SCAMMERS

A co-worker sent this to me today.  This is a must watch!!!!  The info is really good.  I'll talk about it on my next podcast. https://www.amperesec.com/news/three-tech-tricks-romance-scammers-use

This is about a 30 minute or so conversation.  The first part is short and then the second part comes right in.  He was a challenging one but a good conversation. Check it out! CHALLENGING SCAMMER

So today's contestant is... Okay so if you don't know by now, these scammers use some type of photo shop to change pictures.  And I have a perfect example. First off, get the Reversee app on your smart phone now.  It is FREE ! So on most scammers, I run the picture through the app.  It works most of the time.  (You can see examples on some of my conversation screens shots in my blog). So you should by now know to ask a guy to take his picture with 3 fingers by his face to see if he is real.  Majority of the time they won't do this, they will insult you, etc.  Some will send pictures with only 1 or 2 fingers. So today's guy sent me the picture. I decided to put it through the reversee app.  And this is what came up.  I found another picture exactly like it but with a different guy.  Shirt, background and 3 fingers all the same.  So I looked closer at the picture he sent me. See my picture below: Also when looking closer his face color is darker than his neck and fingers.

This was my opening line.   Besides me yanking their chains, I want to show how gullible they really are.  They like to prey on lonely women and these women feel bad.  Well don't ladies!!!  Scammers are the fools and we are going to stop them.  Or just lead them on and come in the for take down. NEVER SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW!!!!  

So they always ask how long you've been a fan.  And as you will see in the conversation below, I said Johnny Storm did it for me.  And he didn't know who Johnny Storm was!!!  This was too good not post! Sorry for the wrong words below,  Iwas using voice recognition and I didn't proof it. This is one for the books!!!!!

HAPPY 2022!! Here are some audio conversations from a few weeks ago.  As always, enjoy!! J PICHONOFF   GEORGE DAVID BRIAN PHILIP WELSON
