        LPT.

        If you ever have a question, don’t follow the ‘helpful’ link. Go directly to the bank/credit card company/Pay Pal/whoever.

        Also, I just got a text from ‘Chase.com@suri.li…’ telling me I had $3,000 deposited in my Chase Bank wallet. Always check the email address.

            Not an expert. I’ve read that the scammers deliberately use ‘obvious’ scams because they don’t want to waste time with people who will catch on. They want the confused seniors or recent immigrants who can’t speak the language.
