The Guardian | ‘Fullz’ disclosure: the man with the street words to help parents prevent children falling into fraud by Hilary Osborne
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Kaf Okpattah, a former insider to the UK fraud scene and now an investigative journalist, explores how young people are drawn into online scams in his new book *Scam Nation*. Using the jargon of fraudsters—“squares” (bank cards), “fullz” (complete personal financial details), “clicking”, “addy” (shipping address), and “mule herder” (recruiters of money mules)—he recounts growing up surrounded by peers who treated theft as a normal, even glamorous, part of life, and shows how social media and the promise of “free money” lure students into roles such as money‑mules or influencers who flaunt stolen wealth. Okpattah warns parents to watch for these coded terms, noting that the allure is especially strong for those who see fraud as victimless because banks might reimburse victims, and urges early intervention to prevent teenagers from being recruited into the lucrative but criminal world of cyber‑fraud.

"Had #Bhattacharya truly been silenced, nobody would know him."
"Though he never showed sympathy for #COVID’s victims, he produced an overwhelming amount of self-pitying material, bemoaning the fate of his #SocialMedia content. He even took [his] case to the #SupremeCourt [but] lost."
...GUESS WHO SILENCED the study proving (again) that COVID #vaccines work? Same guy.

> Truth Social CEO Out After $1.1 Billion in Losses. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/truth-social-ceo-out-after-1-1-billion-in-losses/
It's not like he was a failure though! I mean, the whole point of Truth Social was (a) give Trump a megaphone no one could mute and (b) scam investors. Seems like Nunes succeeded on both counts.
