24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: If he asked the Unfortunately, not all scammers are as

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: honest as Rick from.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: Detroit, Oh shocking.

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: A lot of them make up crazy, elaborate lies to

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: trick you into sending them cash. And I would think

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: most people under age seventy should be able to identify

30
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: as scam right when they see one, don't you think?

31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I just think people want to believe the

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 3: best in others, and I feel like it's.

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: The same with catfishing.

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, so much.

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Well, apparently the higher ups at our company have zero

36
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: confidence in us.

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh did they scam us?

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Well, recently they send all the employees out an email

39
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 1: to take a phishing scam test?

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Did you guys do this?

41
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: I delete all the company emails you didn't take it.

42
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm not falling for anything.

43
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: All the employees are required to do this.

44
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: I think that that is scamming you into taking it,

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: and then if you don't take it, THEMN well, he

46
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: totally mastered it.

47
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: This is perfect because then we can do it right

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: here on the show.

49
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: All right.

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: So basically, they sent an online quiz with a big

51
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: list of messages and you had to determine which ones

52
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: were legit and which ones were scams.

53
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: We really had to do this. Yeah, and after going

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: through it.

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: They must assume we're really dumb, okay, because let me

56
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: go over a few of them. I'm just going to

57
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: read you the first line of this one. It says, Hi, Sir,

58
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm in a hospital in Dubai. Right there, I'm thinking legit. No, yeah,

59
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm already reaching for my wallet as soon as I

60
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: read that, but let's keep going. The next line says, recently,

61
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: my doctor told me I would not last for the

62
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: next six months to my cancer problem. In parentheses, they

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: say cancer of the lever l E V E.

64
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: R a cancer problem. It's all I'm thinking. This could

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: still be legit.

66
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: I'm eighty twenty right now because I know my lever

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: has been acting.

68
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: Up a lot.

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: That's a different lever, sir.

70
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: The email goes on to say he's giving away all

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: his money because of the terrifying woman that he married,

72
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: and then he says, quote, I know what she's capable of.

73
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: She sold her soul to the devil, oh.

74
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Not her son. And look, I may have pretty extreme

75
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: lever cancer, but I'm really worried about my wife.

76
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the death threat right there.

77
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: He says, I do not want her to come near

78
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: my money spelled M U n y. The best part

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: is he signs it regards John Kelly.

80
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: Is that really what the company sent out to test

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: if we would fall for it?

82
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: That I failed?

Speaker 1: scam test that our company wants all the employees to

93
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: complete to determine if these emails seem legit or seem

94
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: like a scam. Yeah, so let's go to the next one.

Speaker 3: test whether or not we know what a phishing scam is.

127
