Bad Paper is an awesome book and goes into some of this debt collection scam stuff. Really opened my eyes to the DC industry and the giant scam it is.

You know what my favorite loving scam is? I see it in every goddamn loving issue of Popular Science I get, a big two goddamn page spread for the loving John Ellis Water Machine.

So what's the scam? Change the hyperlink text to a legit URL while the actual URL for the hyperlink is the phishing site, counting on people not to hover over the link to verify its veracity?

Sk8ers4Christ posted:Actually now that I think about it those phone menus should be considered scams too. I feel like companies/organizations set them up in a way that always leads you to a dead end rather than connect you to a real person that would be able to understand and resolve your issue. oh hey you must be talking about comcast  efb If it's something I need an operator for, I'll mash 0 or start cussing at the phone until it hangs up or gets me to a loving person. Incidentally, I haven't had to talk to a live person since I switched away from the Comcast-provided poo poo router - that dropped connection all the loving time -to a Netgear that occasionally drops connection due to a Comcast outage.

My wife got brushed, it would seem. Have I Been Pwned? says her newest email was in 4 breaches, never mind her older ones predating our marriage, so it's not at all surprising that we got a package from Joe Doe at JFK Airport in New York, the shipping label for which was covering up the original Chinese shipping label. What's creepy as gently caress is that she loves bunnies and it was a puzzle about bunnies

I had a customer at work use it to scam their customer once.
for a while though.

Boy, these scammers and number spoofers are getting good. Missed a call about an hour ago from a number that leads back to a rolling shutter manufacturer in Ohio. It's just parallel to my line of work and not inconceivable that someone from such a place could be calling me. Then again, they'd leave a message if it was important.

Amex still needs that last check digit though to be Luhn-valid. One of my earliest programming exercises was to attempt to write an algorithm that could produce Luhn-valid numbers. The CVV, however, is a different story. Those algorithms are highly guarded and, if I recall, provider-specific to derive the CVV from the expiry date and the card number.

Looking a little further, into it, the card number and expiration key are encrypted with keys known only to the issuer, then the result is decimalized. Ergo, you could probably brute-force it but if they're using a good 128-bit key, it could take a long time.
