r/RBI•

I'll preface this by saying I don't think this is anything nefarious or stalker activity, so I'm asking to see if maybe anyone else has experienced this or what, idk, scam bot? crawler? automated IG testing thing? it could be.

Every few weeks for the past ~6 months (including today, and several times in the past month - an acceleration) and maybe once every 2-6 months for the past 5 years I've gotten password reset emails sent to my high school email address, that I haven't actually used in over 15 years but have set up to forward to my actual email. It is a very mundane and nondescript email (think common noun + number combo, practically randomly generated sounding, definitely not a refe

r/Assistance•

I can privately send proof of the job/take home salary along with identity verification. It leaves me with a surplus and the ability to breathe for the first time in a while, but until then I am unable to pay my prescription copay ($60), buy human + dog food ($200), or pay electric/internet (~$150). Any portion anyone could help with (via venmo, zelle, or apply pay) and will also be paid forward to other requests on here. I'm so excited about what's to come but filled with dread in the meantime and can't ask my family for assistance.

Starting a new job soon after pursuing an attempted change to education which was found to not be livable (to put it lightly), but I'm in that pre-paycheck limbo as well as needing to catch up on some things upon first check. Will send all my info + current job + upcoming job info - also happy to barter any dev/design tasks. Very very appreciated. Have history of pre-arranged loans repaid outside of the bot on here which I can also provide upon request.

EDIT: WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE MY OUT OF POCKET TO $140, NOW ONLY REQUESTING $140 TOTAL. Pay back $160 on 10/28.

Hi all, still recovering from a summer of no substitute teaching work, and trying to catch up on utility payments as well as being able to pay for a doctor's appointment on Wednesday. I finally got insurance figured out (medicaid) but will not be able to select the HMO in time to cover this appointment, which I cannot miss. I will have all necessary receipts showing that this went towards utilities and the doctor's appointment specifically, plus my employment info + any other documentation you need.

I've had a pre-arranged loan that I paid back in full with user saki_matsumot

r/wrongnumber•

Check the r/scams subreddit. Look at any pinned post there about what this is. Every other post in here now is the same exact set up. Example:

Wrong number: Hi Mr. Dergbutts, will you still be delivering my ice sculpture to the important dance event?

You: Who is this?

WN: This is Loomy. This isn't my good friend Mr. Derbgutts? I was so sure I had the number saved

You: No sorry I don't know anyone by that name. You have the wrong number.

WN: Oh my, I hope I did not inconvenience you by entering this number incorrectly. This must be fate, you are so forgiving. Would you like to be friends? I am based in Singapore Hong Kong Los Angeles. W

I don't know what the goal is because I thankfully would never in a million years click on the link, but what they're doing is creating accounts with somebody's picture that you already follow, with their full name as the display name, and follow request you. The bio says it's a backup account (IE, in case the original account is banned from IG, which does happen for various reasons to large accounts) and then adds an "🔞 💦 💋 😈" link with a strange URL to said bio.

In my case (with a private IG account) I've only been requested by fake versions of people I was mutual followers with and knew IRL, but I imagine they're creating this for the giant follower lists of various influencers too. My

Really appreciate it - I can provide my days worked, screenshots of me attempting to resolve the issue with payroll secretaries, and anything else you need. I will have to pay rent on the 6th so I have to split it up into two repayments.
