A News10NBC investigation looks into payment demands for blood tests that never happened. At least one of viewers was called by a lab and a collection agency demanding payment for bloods tests that she says never happened.

Gahhhh. The medical scammers are some of the worst. People are already under stress because of whatever their medical issues are without the additional stress of fighting over a non-existent bill.

Almost a year after Estiveo's Mom died, I got a bill from a "mobile lab" for bloodwork she supposedly had done. The date of service was not only long after her death, but also several months after the doctor who supposedly ordered it had died in a freak rock climbing accident. They were sending me the bill because Medicare had denied the claim.

I sent their paperwork to Medicare with a letter detailing all relevant dates, and cc'd the mobile lab using their return mail envelope. Never heard from them again.

The time they take tying up the scammer's time is time they aren't ripping other people off. It also helps spread the word for people to be careful.

This scammer keeps screaming at what would be an older lady. Kitboga is great at stalling, asking ridiculous questions, using multiple voices with some sort of voice camouflager, and keeps breaking down crying. The scammer is horrible, he couldn't care less and just keeps asking for the money. He wastes days of a this creep's time.

It's also really funny how he ties them in knots.

Steve works together with other antiscammers that are more into the hacking trade, that attempt to take down scam centers in India. Also one non-profit in the US that works together with US police to track local scammers and money mules.

Laughed so hard I cried and choked on water listening to him "panic" while spending the gift cards he "bought" for the scammer to pay a "ransomware virus fee" he made up. The scammer SCREAMS "No no no don't do it!" and he's CRYING hysterically (as an older lady) "I videotaped all my grandkids' births! I have to pay it!" Oh my God, he’s hilarious.

We did crazy stuff as kids (NOT SCAMS!) but pre-internet. One favorite weekend drinking game was calling people from Weekly World News stories to see if they were real. Once, there was a spread about "The Laziest Man Alive" with a kitchen built around his bed etc. Directory assistance had his number. WWN left out one detail—the poor guy was paralyzed from the neck down! De minimis for WWN. We were compassionate; many were thrilled to get a call from across the country and would chat with us. No internet back then. 😂 If there's enough interest, maybe I'll explain what was behind the headline: "Oh My God, It's Bernice!"

Many of those vehicles have been caught on camera driving through Central Florida and other states committing traffic violations and running up costly bills for unpaid tolls.

Coffezilla fires back:



What ever insurance he was relying on is less than forthcoming in terms of coverage so Coffee is passing the hat and selling merch.

In my no way qualified opinion the facts and evidence in the Logan v Coffee suit weigh heavily for the defendant but the money disparity is off the charts.

Liquid Marketplace sounds interesting.

Also looks like his smear campaign against the developer of his scam might be a sign of a crime itself.

Google warns against new tool for scammers

FOX59 News
6 Aug 2024

So-called “SMS blasters” are like miniature cell phone towers that put out a signal that can tri your smartphone into connecting to it instead of your regular network. The devices are small enough for crooks to drive around with them in their car. There have been some reports of scammers walking around with them in their backpacks.
Note: devices that still support 2G are at risk

The older devices that support 3G and some of 4G continue to have the 2G support. When the signal of the scam box is stronger than the original of the provider cell tower it will switch, the box of course needs to mimic the correct provider. The video recommends deactivating 2G support, while possible on Android devices, impossible on Apple.

@all *What You Need To Know About The FOREX News On Monday]*
*The US dollar (USD) continues to face heavy selling pressure at the start of the new week as investors prepare for the presidential election. September factory orders will be the only data on the US economic calendar on Monday. During the European trading session, the Eurozone Sentix investor confidence data for November and the revised HCOB manufacturing purchasing managers' index for October in Germany and the Eurozone will be closely watched by market participants. *
*EUR/USD ended a four-day winning streak on Friday but ended the week in positive territory. The pair benefited from the broad selling pressure around the US dollar in early Monday trading and rose towards 1.0900. GBP/USD gathered bullish momentum at the start of the new week and rose towards 1.3000, where it encountered resistance in the previous week. Following the sharp decline on Thursday, USD/JPY reversed direction on Friday and rose more than 0.6%. The pair remained in a retreat on Monday and was in a deep downward fluctuation around 152.00. *
*XAU/USD price strengthened. The risk of the US presidential election and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are likely to support gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, in the short term. That said, rising bond yields make zero-yielding assets such as gold and silver less attractive, so the recovery of US dollar demand and rising US bond yields may prevent gold from rising further. The focus will shift to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Thursday. The pending outcome of the US election is one of the reasons why the market assumes that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) on Thursday as per the usual practice, rather than repeating the massive 50 basis point rate cut. *
*Hello everyone, welcome new friends to join our forex trading signal sharing group, this group will provide you with the following help:
1: This group provides 1-2 forex trading signals every day. The trading success rate last week was 94.8%;
2: Provide real-time news of the investment market;
3: Provide technical analysis of all investment markets;
Our main goal is to help you understand forex, and we provide as much support as possible to achieve this goal. You are free to choose the trading method you want!
You can do this by opening a free demo trading account, which allows you to trade and invest in a virtual trading environment until you are ready to trade officially! If you need to open an account, please contact the club's trading assistant.
