I’m super cautious with these messages like I’m sure we all are but on Monday I ordered a printer from Amazon. They said it would arrive on Wednesday. On Wednesday I was working from home and I got a text from “Purolator” saying they’d tried to deliver my package and failed. Shit! I’d been listening to beats too loud to hear the knock on the door! I ran outside to see if the delivery guy was still on my street. No one was around…and then I realized, damn, they got me (to dash outside, anyway).

These things can fail 99.99% of the time but when they land on someone at just the right moment, it’s so easy to just go on autopilot and do the dumb thing.

This type of stuff is diabolical for old folks who just weren't inoculated to these scams. I feel terrible for them. Get calls often asking me to help interpret.
