There is some urgency, such as a birthday or anniversary.

They ask about the condition of an obviously new item.

They ask if something is 'still available' when it's obviously for sale in your shop.

Etsy does not have a published phone number you can call.

You find a (FAKE) Etsy phone number off the net and talk to a sympathetic customer service rep that wants you to download an app so they can access your account to fix something.

They send you a link to a (FAKE) Etsy page that looks genuine and asks for your login and/or credit card details.

You get a (FAKE) email from Etsy claim you need to buy a high dollar pre-paid Visa or American Express card to get your Etsy account working.

You get an email from (FAKE) Etsy saying you need to do X to get your account verified.

They claim your Etsy checkout isn't working, and they send you a link to 'fix it”.

They claim they cannot check-out and need your email to complete the order.

You go back to their account, and it's gone.

They want to take the conversation off Etsy (they ask for your email).

SO JUST BEWARE OF WHO YOU LET IN YOUR DEVICE!! I used to think I was pretty smart about all of this, but the guy fooled me. Fortunately I don’t store any of my passwords on my phone so he was unable to get anything….I believe… at least. When I rebooted I changed my phone password. So I hung up on him & did a hard shut down on my phone. Fortunately, shortly after, that Little voice that alerts us when something is just not right told me the guy wasn’t a rep of Gmail and to STOP. AND 😡😡 (angry at myself) I gave the guy permission to get into my phone. Realized later it wasn’t, but had already downloaded the app. While searching for the phone number so I could have assistance I came across a number that said was googles number. here’s the deal: I am unable to get into one of my Gmail accounts.

Unfortunately, I cannot leave a decent rating because of what happened to me. here it is again, let’s see if it shows up this time. I sent in a review but it’s not showing up. Anyway, please rate the app based on IF IT WORKED OR NOT, not “oh no i got scammed 😭😭😭”. No big deal, and this isn’t supposed to be a bug report as this is a review, but I’d figured that I’d still leave it here since I’m too lazy to go on their website. Only issue is holding and dragging with the touchpad controls, and it doesn’t support custom cursors as every time you move your mouse, it would invert the mouse hue every second frame. It works as intended, without any weird paywalls. You got scammed, and it’s your fault that this “microsoft”/“amazon”/“cash app” indian person who is totally not a scammer just scammed you. And for all those people who are leaving 1 star reviews, let me ask you even CHECK the reviews before downloading this supposed “scam” app? No, you didn’t. Of course you’re giving them access to your device, duh.

What does the anydesk app do
