I received a call from Capital One recently. Dude was trying to tell me that I had charges made in Georgia, have I been to been to Georgia recently, they think it's fraud. The phone connection was terrible, his Indian accent was THICK, I could hear other people in the call center. I've dealt with CO fraud department before- they didn't sound at all like this. I asked him for the last four of the card number used because I have multiple cards with them. He gives me the first six numbers. I tell him that only tells me that it is a Visa/MC/Amex/Discover and what bank. Stop trying to scam me. He got upset and hung up. I called CO directly and they had no idea what I was talking about. Just another scammer.

He's worse. He's now into vaccines and other medicines.

Get a cheap VPN like SurfShark VPN (follow my links to get 82% off - just kidding but I do use them). It's perfectly safe to use a cheap VPN like that if you're just trying to hide yourself from non-governmental actors to keep your private info private.

I hope Reddit refuses and BlackCat releases. Taking corporate money only emboldens bad acting corporations.

Studying towards cybersecurity certifications and hopefully moving into a cybersecurity analyst position sooner than later.
