Beware of a pretty sophisticated PayPal/banking scam that a family member of mine just got hit by.

So my father got a call a couple days ago from someone claiming to work for PayPal's fraud department (he has a Paypal card/account) and it all seemed very official/professional. They said there's been a bunch of fraudulent looking charges on his card and went through a number of charges that my dad didn't make (the typical scammy charges like target.com, itunes, walmart, etc..). Sure enough my dad looks on his paypal app and sees all the charges, and he obviously confirms that he didn't make the charges and to lock/replace the card as the person suggested.

This is where it get's pretty next level. As they're talking, the 'representative' claims that the 'scammers' just attempted to log into his account and change his password, and he asks if my dad to confirm he got a text from Paypal with a PIN. Sure enough my dad gets a text (ACTUALLY from PayPal, the standard two-step verification text they send if you try to change your password or whatever). The person didn't ask for the PIN though (that would be an obvious red flag). They said they locked his account and it's all under control.

So at this point it seems 100% legit that it's Paypal (they 'knew' about the charges and that my dad would get a text before he even got it, yet didnt ask for the PIN). They tell my dad that the card has been locked and he'll get a new one within 7 business days or whatever, and not to worry about anything, it's all good. The scammer was incredibly professional/well thought out too. He properly advised my dad to remove the 'de-activated' card from any automatic billing cycles, said to be careful about avoiding scams (wow), etc...

So luckily my dad logged into paypal today to confirm the cards were frozen, which is when he noticed not only were they not frozen, there was a dozen more charges on his card since the call he got and they maxed out his credit.

So here's what happened: The scammers stole the card info, made a couple charges, then pretended to be Paypal and called my dad to tell him about the charges, tried to login to his account so he would get a verification text, made it seem like they were on top of the situation and had it all under control, and then continued to make the fraudulent charges hoping he wouldn't notice or think it's fine because 'PayPal' already knows about it. Some hiding in plain sight, reverse psychology stuff.

Just want to make as many people as possible aware of this. I like to think I'm pretty damn savvy with scams and I think I

My friend with Austim forced by family to give access to banking/take control of finances

(Scotland)

Back story:
- Best friend has autism, lives alone in council housing.
- Few months back a stranger approached her and manipulated her into paying over Β£100 for grocerys
- Said stranger added her on facebook and continued to make my friend (who struggles to so no under threat of conflict) pay her money for "emergencies" and other made up excuses.
- When my friend told me about it because it was severely stressing them out, i convinced them to stop sending money, block the stranger and then i reported them to the police.
- Police took my statement and seemed very interested. They gave hints that this stranger does this alot. That was the end of it, she never tried to contact my friend again.

Current issue:
My friend's family just found out about this from "getting ahold of messages" (unsure how they did that) between my friend and the scammer (who turned out to be somebody her sister knows). Friends sister and mum FLIPPED out. Started screaming at my friend and DEMANDED my friend give her sister access to her bank account so she can control and watch what she spends money on. They even psychically grabbed her arm and pulled her into a car at one point. My friend started sobbing but eventually did what they said and now her sister has complete access to her bank. My friend does not want this but is terrified about increasing conflict in the family and getting shouted at more so she feels like she cannot change this now.

I'm thinking that this is very illegal on the sisters end? Can her family just force her to gain access to her bank without a court order/power of attorney?

Ideal grocery list for family of 3 saving for house and eating healthier!

So I been trying to reduce the excess or expensive items while shopping as we are saving for a house and just had a baby.

I am looking for a good bi weekly or better yet monthly shopping list to prevent constant trips and saving as much money as possible. We aren't picky eaters, I just can't eat seafood for most part. Also we have been getting almond or oatmilks as they last a lot longer than regular just for reference but we still do cheeses.

Anyway thanks for any suggestions or input

[Banking] List of Open Banking implementations (banks, apps)

As far as I can tell, the Open Banking API should be rolling out this month, but it's unclear who/when/where this is going to happen.

Have any banks opened their API up yet and are there any apps that take advantage of this?

Are there any timelines for other banks and apps that will link up with all this?

Edit: My main motiviation is to find something like YNAB that is easier, secure, and not breaking any rules. I really liked YNAB while I had it on a student trial. However, importing CSVs every now and again was tedious. I wouldn't want to provide any banking login details, so that bascially leaves me waiting for this Open Banking API to take off.

Groom/groom’s family’s invite list is unexpectedly & drastically larger than bride/bride’s family’s list. How do my parents and I tactfully ask them to cover additional costs?

My parents are (very, very generously) paying for the vast majority of my wedding next summer. When we first started planning, the anticipated guest count was 175. 75 for me, 100 for my fiancΓ© as he has more friends, a large family and significant business network (getting my mom on board with that guest ratio was enough of a headache).

My final list is 86 people, and contains all the friends I could possibly think to invite, my entire extended family, parents’ close friends, and the coworkers I don’t hate. I expect 75 or so to attend.

My fiancΓ© has a massive extended family, a gazillion friends, and works in a very relationship-based industry with a ton of colleagues and clients he speaks to almost daily. He hasn’t given me his final list yet, but it looks like it’ll be, at the absolute minimum, 170 people: 50+ family (without inviting children). 60+ colleagues/clients/friends, all requiring plus ones. We’re probably looking at 150 actually attending. He’s told me it’s completely impossible to cut his list further without jeopardizing relationships.

The marginal cost per each additional guest is about $275. My parents are, um, super duper not jazzed about shelling out $14k+ for 50 additional guests. They also feel it’s simply not fair to ask them to foot the bill for a 225 person party where they’ll only know 40-50 people (my family).

What’s a tactful, diplomatic way for me and my family to ask my fiancΓ© and his family to cover these additional costs? Does anyone have experience doing this and having the conversation go well? How did you have the payment work - did the other family pay a portion of the final invoice? Pick up the tabs for a couple vendors whose prices approximately equalled the additional attendee costs? Keep things simple and write a check?

A family of 3 is going to vote for Bernie is Louisiana THIS AFTERNOON. They had no idea voting was today. Husband, wife and daughter voting this afternoon for Bernie!!!!! This was after 10 mere minutes of phone-banking!

Update: Sanders VIABLE in Louisiana at 21.7% with 19.3% reporting in as of 10:02 pm EST. Thank you sisters and brothers for your push today!

By the way, we won Kansas and Nebraska. Boom.

We're winning states people. Today we won 2 out 3. It's happening.

UPDATE (3:30 pm EST): VIRTUAL TIE IN POLLED CALLERS. We need facebankers and phone bankers to avoid a tie otherwise Bill Clinton and HRC Supporters will have power with coin tosses and other polling precinct shenanigans (re: Massachusetts, Florida with phony DEM ballots). Get pissed off people, and then phonebank with a great big smile.

My results so far after an hour and a half:

Louisiana voters are friendly.

8 Bernie Votes (3 more make that 11!) 1 Leaning Bernie (she was only aware Hillary and Trump were running. She's now feeling the Bern.) Lots of dead end calls, move to the next

3 openly confirmed Hillary supporters

7 did not share their preference openly but that they were going to be voting. Possibly Hillary supporters.

One supporter is car pooling his co workers and they are ALL Feeling the Bern

All others were wrong or hang-ups. I am weeding out these numbers, and this just means our field supporters aren't wasting time on out of date data or undecideds. WE ARE INSTRUCTING PEOPLE HOW TO GET TO THEIR PRECINTS.

This is a NUMBERS GAME. We won't get everyone but as we've seen in other states EVERY VOTE MATTERS at each precinct. Phone-bank/call while you redditt!

Who wants an SEC STATE UPSET over Hillary in Louisiana!?!?! Our time and action for Bernie is what causes this change! PHONEBANK for 10 minutes.

This is an exhilarating time for us. The caller was friendly and thankful I called, otherwise they had no idea voting was happening today. This is true change and it's easy with the Bernie Dialer.

She even let me show her how to go to Voteforbernie.org/state/louisiana/ site so she could go to the correct precinct. This is awesome stuff Berners.

Join me on the Dialer at go.berniesanders.com/page/content/laphonebank/

We're making a difference and I'll take fellow phone bankers sharing their success stories over karma today! Now is our time.
