@pluralistic That’s the polite was of saying overcooked steak tastes like shit, but if that’s what you order, don’t come complaining!

    Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.

    Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.

    Google Maps, showing the storefront for Golden State Lock as an empty building.

    @pluralistic @AnnaAnthro At the other end of spectrum, you have my street, which Google Maps is convinced it and the next street over are a single road. It’s been 20+ years of mixups with mail and deliveries, with the residents of both streets and the town hall repeatedly trying to get Google Maps to correct this mistake.

    Somehow only Google Maps can’t figure this one out. All other services list both streets accurately. Of course, 90% of delivery people use Google Maps so… 😬

    @skaficianado @clarablackink @tomjennings @pluralistic @AnnaAnthro I remember the first time I went to the UK, they explained to us that cab drivers in London has to pass a test to show they knew the ins and outs of the whole city. That had really impressed me! I wonder if it’s still the same today…

    I wuz robbed.

    More specifically, I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened. And then he tried to do it again, a week later!

    @pluralistic “Meanwhile, I'll continue to post about it whenever I get scammed. I find the inner workings of scams to be fascinating, and it's also important to remind people that everyone is vulnerable sometimes, and scammers are willing to try endless variations until an attack lands at just the right place, at just the right time, in just the right way. If you think you can't get scammed, that makes you especially vulnerable”
