From 2024, but funny to read…

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we’re all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

    Pro tip: You’re gonna get scammed if you ever receive a scam message that appears to be related to something you happen to be expecting. I’m sure you’ll feel all superior to the rest of us until that happens, but it will happen to you.

    And meanwhile, you’re so fucking smart it galls me to have to point this out to you, but what about your grandmother getting an SMS like that? Not everyone is as brilliant as you.

    And the point is that it would be relatively easy for companies to avoid looking so “sus”.

    So instead of feeling smug that you think you can keep yourself safe, perhaps thinking of others might be a good place to start.

    You’re just as bad as the fascists who have zero empathy for anything until it affects them personally.
