Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

From my understanding:

  1. Buy a bank login
  2. Buy a SIM swap
  3. Change location w/ RDP server (I don't fully understand this one; maybe pay to RDP into a pwned PC in the right location)
  4. Find a fall guy and give him a good cut
  5. Wire money to fall guy
  6. Fall guy withdraws money
  7. Get money from fall guy

Looks like it'd be better getting into the darknet businesses that facilitate the wire fraud. Always better to be selling pickaxes than digging for gold.
