Are you having a bad day?
 
Well, take solace in the fact that you weren't scammed into sending $25.6M from your employer.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/4/24...onference-call

Apparently the scammers got a low-level employee on a fake conference call and used video images of major employees of a large corporation. Most of this article is behind a paywall but it at least fills in some details on the article above:

SO next time your boss cusses you out, tell him you haven't sent $25.6M of the company's money to scammers.

Scammers should be murdered.

Seconded. I would support SEAL teams finding these people and assassinating them, or maybe having space lasers fry them. These people are the worst kind of evil.

Agreed. If you wanna steal, do it the old fashion way. Stick a gun in a bank tellers face.

I'd go Wiccan because I bet Wiccan space lasers are a really awesome green color.

Resistance is futile.

Yes but maybe not that bad. Found out my dog has a heart issue and diabetes. 500 bucks already before meds or having to put him down. Since I've already invested that much just getting diagnosed I'm thinking I might as well give the insulin a shot and see how he responds with everything else.

May he who has not sent 25 million of their employers money to random people cast the first stone.

These are the same people who call some 85 year old grandma who has diminished mental capacity and prey on her empathy getting her to drain her bank account that she is living off of savings & social security to the end of her days. How people could do such a thing and sleep at night I have no idea.

LoneWolf 02-05-2024 06:14 PM
Not reading the article, but how does a low level employee have authority to send that kind of money without going through several levels of approval? I’m a director for my company and I can’t approve anything over 250k.

He’s not a “low level employee” anymore.


Now he is unemployed and trying to figure out how to launder his share if $25m.

That's my issue. If you want to rob a bank or steal from a large international company, you're terrible. But these people try to destroy individuals' lives, and that's a special level of terrible that deserves a special level of retribution.

Low-level employee? Sounds like Hootie and a FanDuel scheme

Having a good day/night. Watching a recording of NFL Networks’ coverage today. Colleen Wolfe is a mother****ing smoke show. Oh dear Lord, I want to kiss her parents. She is absolutely killing that black dress.

These cockbags call me a dozen times a day. I'm to the point where i want the US military to do something that helps Americans and start drone striking call centers in India.

FYI, If you want to see Jason Statham totally destroying a ton of scumbag scammers, there is this movie all about it.

Not a bad mindless action flick.

Been meaning to watch that! Sometimes I watch YouTube people messing with the indian scam centers but they are way too nice to them.

First we stomp them, then we hang them, then we tattoo them, THEN we kill them.

Today has been a royal PAIN IN THE ASS!

I never thought dealing with my specialist doctor's offices support staff would be as bad or as painful.as dealing with fast food workers. My pulmonologist office is the worse.

Maybe a few less $100 dollar carb infested lunches and a few more workouts and you won't need to go to the doctor.

When you only make your enemy stronger
 
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Janarius Robinson was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip early Tuesday morning on suspicion of driving while under the influence, according to multiple reports.

Robinson, who was only elevated to the active roster during the Raiders Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, was arrested just before 6 a.m. in the 3700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard, KTNV reported.

Great action and story, but the lack of realism hits you in the face: the scammers are white Americans in the US, not natives of India. Reminds you of how every burglar or thief in home security commercials are white. Uh huh.

If you're having a bad day, just be glad you didn't build a $500,000 house on the WRONG LOT!
