This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our info@lemmy.world mail address telling that they are “lemmy.world Security Team”, telling that they will “disconnect” your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.

    Yes, exactly this. You want people who can’t see behind the simple facade. Because they are more likely to be easily fooled. You don’t want to work someone who is very sceptical or just moderately sceptical. In that time you could work through a bunch of people that can’t see behind this and pull out money from them.

    Scammers want easy marks. Why wouldn’t someone make it easier for themselves by naturally filtering out people that can’t be easily fooled?
