DON'T tell them Morpheus sent you! Say they're for your nephew! DON'T TELL THEM IT'S MORPHEUS

So true. My phone number has an area code from a place I never actually lived in (carry-over from a family plan, most of whom do live in said area code) and I got bombarded with calls the other day. I just assumed it was US election spam and blocked every number. Could one of them be my cousin calling from the trunk of a kidnapper’s car? Possibly. But, eh, not sure what I could really do from thousands of miles away.

Phone is on silent, all calls automatically screened for spam, when it rings and isn't in my contacts, it goes to voicemail, no voicemail, no callback. All groupchats are muted, all notifications are silent, no message content on lock screen, no notif for emails, no social media apps except Lemmy. Emergency alerts are disabled too, if I'm gonna be sucked to death by a tornado, I don't wanna be looking at my phone when it happens.

A package arrived with a phone inside. Once he put the phone in his hand, it rang. Most people would answer that call, I think.

As a professional Steam purchaser I can tell you def not me. Am glad digital games can’t collect physical dust haha.

They don't need to have a use for the codes on their own Steam accounts, just have to be able to sell them.

I guess someone who scams other people.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

lol legendary

Steam sale, bro. Sorry, not sorry

I heard they stopped selling them a while ago precisely because they're common scam targets. But I've actually never seen one, they were never sold in my country.

Valve stopped making them.
