    I needed a place to live and applied for a place. Guy called me up and wanted to sign a lease without seeing the place and send me a virus link to click. I kept asking to meet him there and he kept telling me to click the virus link.

    I didn’t, but unfortunately I had sent him the info you would apply for a lease for. No financial info fortunately. Had to lock my credit report. I get 10,000 scam calls a day.

    I was homeless at the time and I took this really hard.

      This is what I hate, so many scams prey on people who are desperate or otherwise already in hard times. Scamming someone who doesn’t have a roof over their head, or is elderly and lives off a small social security income, or needs a job to afford food… that shit is the lowest of lows.

      I guess if you scam rich people you’re more likely to be caught.
