Hi I have been trying to find an alternative to OnlyFans since I can’t use it and fees are high there.
I tried Fansly, Fanvue but payouts take ages.
Any idea ? Thanks
I received a notice from Shopify that I had a $300+ auto renewal of LifeLock and a number to call if there a problem. The whole thing felt like a scam but I was surprised it showed up as a legitimate charge on shop.
I called the number to hear if it was a scammer. It was an Indian man. I pretty quickly said I'd need to call back and they quickly tried to get me to not hang up. I knew it was a scam at that point and let it rest. (I notified shop and made a ticket with them about 12hrs ago, but no call back yet)
Here's the real reason I'm writing this: now my bank suddenly told me I was charged for it. How did they get it this far? I'm so confused. I thought the scam was only to get me to call and give up info.
I'm pretty sure it's a scam because it starts with "Dear valued user" and the email address doesn't match, but I'm concerned because of money.
EDIT:
This is the email:
Dear valued user,

Thanks for choosing us,

EDIT 2: So rather than being a digital marketing agency in Australia, they were actually trying to fake being MetaMask, a crypto wallet so yeah. Definitely a scam.
This seller is selling shirts from actual brands at a cheaper price. i thought it was a scam at first but the shirts match with the ones on the website and they are US based. i’m starting to be convinced they are real.
Hi.
Yesterday I was given several phone calls from a number out of my country on whatsapp . I thought, ‘hey, they’ll just back off naturally, surely some guy who got the wrong number’.
And he rang me 5 consecutive times. Couldn’t do much so I answered.
The man didn’t say much and hung up after I asked who this was.
A day later, I get a text from another account from the same country.
“Alan, the situation has now been formally reported to both the Italian and Portuguese authorities because for several days we have been unable to have any direct contact with Teresa.
We do not want arguments or conflict. We are only asking that Teresa speak directly with her mother or one of us through a short voice or video call, even for a few seconds, freely and spontaneously.
Until this happens, we will continue cooperating with the authorities in order to verify her condition and safety directly.”
I am not Alan, I do not know anyone named Teresa and I am nowhere near Portugal or Italy.
What am I supposed to do?
Has anyone had any experience with ordering THCA Boutiq vapes from the following website?

I believe I have been scammed for $350 from this site. Does anyone have any feedback from that site?
i got a pm on my tiktok page of a guy saying
“Kinda wild, and idk if you'd be down with it but I do know a chick who'd pay like $80-$400 per pair to buy your socks also could send $ for like food,
shopping, or gas. Whatever could work”
i’m not against sending a spare pair for cash but dont want to get scammed in the process haha
I was contacted by someone claiming to be a Talent Acquisition contact at a major EV manufacturer.
Initial outreach was highly personalised; they referenced my actual automotive journalism background, LinkedIn post about redundancy, specific articles I'd written and seemed to understand my experience well.
The unusual bit is that the outreach came from a personal Gmail address rather than a corporate company email, reading like this: firstname.lastname.hr.companyname@gmail.com
Since then we've exchanged several professional emails which are lengthy and somewhat wordy, almost certainly partly / fully written by AI. They've reviewed my CV (I sent over a heavily doctored CV with my address, phone number etc taken out), they asked about salary expectations and preferred location, and are now proposing a call to discuss possible communications / content / brand opportunities.
No asks for money, ID, bank details, weird links, Telegram, WhatsApp interview, etc.
I've also found a real person with that name working at the company on LinkedIn and I’ve attempted to connect.
Does this sound like a legitimate but unconventional recruiter / contractor, a sophisticated recruitment scam or something else?
Curious what people think.
So I'm confused on if this is real or not, it's a recruitment email from Starbucks. This email mentions a real recruitment lead (I looked them up on LinkedIn) but "referring" is spelled wrong and I feel like that's something that would've been caught.
It came to my work email and I don't believe it's outside of the realm of possibilities for me to be approached by a recruiter for them. but I'm still cautious since it's asking me to click a button to schedule an introductory call.
(Censoring their name since it is a real person mentioned in the email.)

Random number started texting me. Now they are asking some semi personal questions. Not sure if I should just ignore or outright block.
Screenshot in the comments.
Has anyone come across scammers requesting you to go to coinbase.com.sc - the .sc is a top level domain for the Seychelles. I was asked to go to this site in order to safeguard my funds, scammer did not know I was using a virtual machine.. Is this new or a variation I havent come across before?
I do not use Tumblr for anything else besides reposting things in the fandoms I'm in, is this a common scam? They asked if I was willing to work with them on this, but I scrolled their acc and short of yesterday their last repost was 2021?
There was an email in my Spam folder, that claims to be from a cyber criminal group. Basically threatening to release private photos and information about me to everyone unless I do as they ask.
How do I know if this is a scam or a serious threat?
"I'm asking because I accidentally clicked on a suspicious link that was sent to me via DM. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a phishing scheme that compromised my account. My account was then used to target other users. I believed you were the one who sent me the link since you had the same profile picture, name, and similar u/. After I managed to recover my account, I mistakenly reported your account for hacking and scamming me, as I couldn’t identify the actual username of the person responsible."
Then an hour later...
"I'm thinking that you got impersonated, do you happen to have discord so I can forward you a screenshot of the account and I also got an email from Reddit and I want to show it to you. I only have a screenshot of the account I couldn't find it anymore they must have changed it."
So basically I'm trying to sell my PC and I saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace of a company paying for PC (parts or whole). His Facebook store page is PC Lab Québec. He has no physical store or address and he told me his site is under construction. He is buying cash though which makes it harder to scam and he did say some specific things on PC building that proves he as at least basic knowledge of PC Building.
I'm having doubts but there is nothing in his messages that confirms anything, do you guys think it's a scam or not?
I saw an email that read
“Hello,
We are the ShinyHunters hacking group.
A few months ago, we gained access to your devices and started monitoring your online activities.
What happened:
We gained access to the Amtrak.com database where you have an account and easily accessed your email.
You weren't very careful about the links you opened.
A week later, we installed an exploit on your devices, including your phone, giving us access to your microphone,
camera, keyboard, and all your data.
We have your photos, browsing history, conversations, and contact list.
Among other things, we discovered that you frequently visit adult websites and watch explicit videos.
We managed to record you and created videos of you pleasuring yourself.
With a few clicks, we can share these videos with your friends,
colleagues, and family or even make them public.
Proposal:
Send us $2000 in Bitcoin to the following wallet:
1Jrn8GVMaVTgpFxDqTRB2Bbgxgw5SnjH9j
We'll delete everything immediately.
You have 48 hours from the moment you open this email.
Once the payment is received, we'll remove the malware from your devices.
What you should NOT do:
Do not reply (email was sent from a hacked account).
Do not contact the police or anyone else—we'll release the videos along with other stuff all over the internet.
Do not try to reset your devices—everything is stored on remote servers.
What you don’t need to worry about:
We will see your payment immediately—the wallet is generated specifically for you.
We will not share your videos or other things after payment—there is no reason to continue causing problems.”
I don’t know what to do obviously I’m not gonna give them $2000 but what should I do. Do I ignore it. It was sent on May 18th and I just now see it I don’t know what to do.

Trying to get this thing shipped but the payment stuff is confusing (never bought from FB before) Is this guy trying to scam me or?
He keeps directing me to his revalout and saying stuff like "Of course, but I'm not going to tank any of my banking over less than the price of a commissioned poster or something, haha. This is why revolut would work. I can charge the payment to a card and you'd be pretty easily be able to recover the money if that were ever to be the case.
I can prove I have the GPU to hand mate, and that it works (time stamped photos/ID etc)."
Maybe im just paranoid but the site seems to me a bit fishy. It seems barely functional considering its supposedly from a reputable brand.
They also only take credit cards which seems a bit weird
