00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. They these are the radio blogs on the Fred Show.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: And I know I say this all the time, and

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: it's not to make myself feel better. I don't feel

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: that old. I don't think i'm that old. But I

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: am beginning to experience things where I go places where

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: the people, like a doctor or a dentist or repair

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: man or whatever, they were always so much older than me.

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: They because well of course they were, because they know

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: every their doctor, they got to be way old, you know,

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: it would be a doctor. And now I go to

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: the doctor and the dude's like, he's younger than me

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and he's been a doctor for a while. And I'm

Speaker 2: ass doctor already.

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: Like it really starts to mess with you. Audio journals

Speaker 2: Go, dear blog.

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: I know we're all, you know, pinchion pennies these days,

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: and eggs are seven dollars. But like the scammers are

24
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 3: getting really thirsty because now they're hitting me and I'm like, what,

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: what gave you the impression that I could get scammed?

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not that girl. So I'm sitting yesterday and

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,200

Speaker 3: A text from Rod and I'm putting you out there,

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: Rod Heller Helmer at hotmail dot com.

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: Okay, the first clue that it's a scam.

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: A second yeah, and it says the toll Roads Notice

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: of toll evasion.

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: You have an unpaid toll bill on your account.

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: To avoid late fees, pay within twelve hours or latefield

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: late fees will be increased and reported to the DMV.

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Now you know you got the wrong girl.

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: Was like.

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: With each other. They try to put that together, but like,

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't care. You know that about the tolls.

40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: So I'm like, then it's like reply now and pay,

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: and they give you a link and then it says

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: the toll roads team whishes you a great day. Why

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: was like what they don't exactly, they don't they have

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: I am very familiar with this collection of tolls. Everybody

45
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: knows that. So I knew off the bat this was

46
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: They've never wished me a great day. Ever, I knew

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: that was a scam. And then you are emailing me

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: or texting me from a Hotmail account, like you didn't

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: even have the decency to make a Gmail account.

00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 2: This is getting.

51
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, and so or at least make a fake alias

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: that looks like a lot of the ones that you know.

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: Some of these scams are really clever, like you got

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: to look really carefully and be like that kind of

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: looks legit. But oh no, wait a minute, no, there's

56
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: no way that's right right, you know, but now you

88
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,400

00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: Is that?

90
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: So you got it right there. But I feel bad

91
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: for people like my mom. My mom was looking to

92
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: rescue a cat, a specific kind of cat.

93
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: She was looking all over the internet.

94
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: For it, and I've come to find out and my

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: mom is a very smart, savvy woman. I come to

96
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: find out that she was sending people deposits, I know,

97
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: and that's a huge scam.

98
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this.

99
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: But cat breeders and rescues for specific breeds of cats

100
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: that have value. She was looking for a main coon

101
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: and she was willing to do whatever, you know, a

102
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: reputable breeder or rescue one if one could be found.

103
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: But that's what she wanted specifically. And I find out

104
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: she sends a bunch of money and then like and

105
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: then she was like, I'm not paying that, and then

106
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Venmo is mad at her, like Paulina because yeah, you know,

107
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay that, like it was a

108
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: scam or whatever.

109
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: But how terrible are you?

110
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: People trying to adopt animals and you're taking their money

111
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: because you know they want it. Yes, So it's like,

112
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: but who's sitting around going, I know, let's scam, you know, well,

00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: now that they've hit me, they got Kayla's mom. They've

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: reached out to your mom and they all they direct

118
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: these scams on what they think is relatable to the person,

119
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: so they know.
