Daily challenge
The Daily Scam #146
One real-or-scam message a day. Read it, decide, learn the tell — and keep your streak alive. Your answers never leave your browser.
You've seen every challenge in the pool, so today's is a rerun worth a second look — new ones are on the way.
You answer the phone at suppertime and hear a recorded voice:
Scam. "Your service provider" is the tell — a real provider names itself and names you, because it knows who you are. Providers send written notices before any suspension, and no bill is ever paid by pressing 1 on a robocall. Check your balance in your own account if you're unsure.
A new challenge drops at midnight (Eastern). Come back tomorrow to keep your streak.
