46. Cello Email Scam EXPOSED! (Audio Only)

This episode tells my most recent encounter with an email scam
involving a "free" cello.  I hope it will be entertaining
and informative!  When in doubt, don't click on links in
emails or make arrangements for deals that are too good to be
true.  It's probably a scam!  This scam involved
offering a "free" cello where the victim pays for shipping via
Venmo, CashApp, or Zelle, but never receives the cello. The
scammer specifically asks for "friends and family" Venmo which
removes purchase protection. In addition, the scammer acts as
both the shipping company and the person giving away the cello,
using two email addresses.

CISA (The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency).
 Be safe, everyone!
