  • Edit: speaking from US banking, I think it’s probably different in other countries with updated banking practices.

    Recruitment scams tend to involve the hirer sending you a large check to cover office setup purchases from the hirer’s “trusted vendor” and you keep the excess as your first paycheck. Unfortunately, the check is fake and the vendor is just the hirer behind a fake website. But the check “clears” in a couple of days, so you think you have the money, and you spend that money in the fake website, then your bank lets you know the check was fake and takes all the money back.

    I’m sure there are other scenarios but they all involve a fake payment that eventually gets taken back. Glad you weren’t taken in.



  • The problem with this is that reading the generated HTML behind a page that has been served to your browser does not prove that data was stored in an HTML source file. The data is inserted into the page while it’s being served to the browser. That’s what the JavaScript does after it requests the data from the backend code, which gets the data from the database (or whatever storage is being used) and sends it back to the JavaScript, which puts it in the page.

    Saving data in source HTML files would mean every possible combination of data anyone might request must be saved in its own separate file, which is definitely not how web development is done. Laws should not be made by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.













  • In your user settings there is a place where you can select your language. It’s a multi-select so you can select more than one by using ctrl+click.

    Earlier there was a notification going around letting everyone know that they needed to select “Undetermined” as well as any other language you want to select because if you didn’t, you could get language errors. Worth a try.
