Speaker 1: Were he with a beautiful Sam Fisher?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Or is we like to refer to you as
Speaker 2: scam Fisher.
Speaker 1: Let's get sech I tag first.
Speaker 2: Sam and I caught up yesterday, which we had really
Speaker 2: nice lunch, was beautiful, and Sam was telling me a
Speaker 2: story about how sophisticated scams are these days.
Speaker 1: Now I want to call bullshit.
Speaker 2: This is not sophisticated.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but this was the.
Speaker 2: Dumbest thing on Sam's behalf.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: Sam's going to tell his story, but this is what
Speaker 2: good friends can do, right. Please, Once you hear it,
Speaker 2: you'll see how unsophisticated this scam. Sam sell it to me,
Speaker 2: because I've almost been scammed myself several times, and those
Speaker 2: text messages that come through at three am in the
Speaker 2: morning can be convincing.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this was like five pm in the afternoon, right,
Speaker 3: so like prime time I'm in the UK. I get
Speaker 3: a text saying, hey, did you spend five hundred and
Speaker 3: forty one dollars and whatever sense at this place in Austin, Texas,
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no, and it looks so legit,
Speaker 3: and normally I'm on it. Normally I'm like googling the
Speaker 3: anonymous phone number to see where it is. I just
Speaker 3: didn't for some reason because I was in a I
Speaker 3: was in a songwriting session, I was working. I was
Speaker 3: like no, And then they sent another text that was
Speaker 3: did you did you spend one hundred and whatever dollars
Speaker 3: in this place in Texas escalating now Inexas, And it
Speaker 3: was like and then it was like call this number
Speaker 3: to whatever and it was like from my bank, and
Speaker 3: it was like it was and it was it was
Speaker 3: literally from my bank. And I called and they had
Speaker 3: the exact same automated voice and so then I was
Speaker 3: literally on the phone for like hours and they were like, oh,
Speaker 3: we know, we need to do security questions.
Speaker 1: And so it was a real person or was a
Speaker 1: a I sam.
Speaker 3: It was a real person, and it was like I
Speaker 3: spoke to them and they were like, what's your like
Speaker 3: mother's maiden name, what's your what's your dogs name?
Speaker 1: What's like? And you thought you were verifying answer, But
Speaker 1: here's where.
Speaker 3: I should have stopped.
Speaker 1: This was the giveaway.
Speaker 3: So I would give an answer and then I would
Speaker 3: get a security code and they'd be like can you
Speaker 3: read me the car?
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, of course, and let me
Speaker 1: tell you.
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, that didn't work, so let's try
Speaker 3: it again, because obviously like the geo tagging or whatever
Speaker 3: was like, oh, ping, this is not where Sam is.
Speaker 3: And I was like, they were like, oh that one
Speaker 3: didn't work. What about this? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: here's another code. And so they got into my online
Speaker 3: banking and they stole fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh got fourteen k My god, that hurts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And at the time I was when I was discovering
Speaker 3: all this, mind you, I was at like post work
Speaker 3: drinks and I'm out having good time and I'm on
Speaker 3: my phone being like.
Speaker 1: Here's a code, babe and bank account.
Speaker 3: And then finally like it dawned me and I was
Speaker 3: like what am I doing? And so I called the
Speaker 3: real bank, like called the number on the back of
Speaker 3: my card and they were like, oh no, you music
Speaker 3: And yeah, so now there is a process to get
Speaker 3: it back, and like do.
Speaker 1: They get it back for you? Are they able to?
Speaker 3: Well, so you'd think, but because it went to a
Speaker 3: Bank of America account. Bank of America is like They're like,
Speaker 3: you know, you can't place any blame on us, Like
Speaker 3: We're going to do what we can do. But we
Speaker 3: can't promise anything and you have to sign this wave
Speaker 3: of form or whatever.
Speaker 1: And so I got an idea, hold on how much
Speaker 1: do you make per stream of your songs?
Speaker 3: Zero point zero zero zero three cents everyone in Australia
Speaker 3: listening to this, right.
Speaker 1: Parents, And then we can get the money back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. Just be aware of those scams.
Speaker 2: Some are sophisticated, some like Sam's are not sophisticated, but
Speaker 2: they can still pay. Now.
