What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

From CP newsletter.
Interpol operation arrests 3,500 cybercriminals, seizes $300 million[^]
"Another emerging scam tool is AI and deep fake tools to generate synthetic content that appears realistic to the targets or even the voice of a person close to them."
I have gotten a couple of calls where a person claims to have been arrested and they need bail.
Now there is no way I am going to fall for the gift card and meeting on a corner somewhere since I know exactly how bail works. But still if I know the voice on the other end that is going to get complicated. Since other scenarios where gift card and corner might apply (like a claimed kidnapping.)
I would probably still call the police.
But perhaps time to look into a 'key phrase' for the relatives. Or at least the ones that I would give money to in the first place.

Someone recently tried to phish me, and they had a human at the end of an 800 number as part of the scam.
Someone is paying for that number, so I reported it to the FBI.
It was pretty convincing if you missed a minor detail in the originating email, the same detail that got it through the google filters, and that was that it originated from a gmail address.
I don't want anyone falling victim to them, that's why I reported them.

I'm sure they make it easy to submit stuff. What they do with it is completely up to conjecture.
It's a corrupt organization.

They've had a few times I think that they have either hacked and patched vulnerable machines or hacked the hackers and stole money back.

When my daughter was little, we had a phrase we taught her. If she wasn't with us (visiting a friend, school, etc.) she knew she had to hear that phrase before going anywhere or doing anything with anyone else. We never actually needed it, but she still remembers the phrase (she's 32 now  ).

Is she married and did you teach it to the husband? Otherwise, she failed.
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
Iβm begging you for the benefit of everyone, donβt be STUPID.

Hmm. I'm going to assume you're making a joke here, and not insulting my daughter's intelligence. She's a smart one, and will ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) your *cough* stuff *cough* up.

You didn't see the Joke icon on the post?
I'm a programmer, it doesn't take much skill to my stuff up.
Bad knees, nerve impingement in the left shoulder, my 3 yr old granddaughter can mess me up.

Nope. Sorry if I sounded testy. It doesn't take much to make me go full-bore Papa Bear  .

Hopefully she did so she and her husband can teach it to their children.

I got a text message that I owed the "Well Care" walking clinic some moola with a link to pay. I called the clinic directly to confirm that it was a legitimate text message and the amounts matched. While convenient, frankly, I wouldn't even trust a bill if it came in the mail nowadays!
