Another pip so Jeff pit Pip perae. Yes, 21 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.799 I love that. So Jackie and Shadow have hatched two 22 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.200 eggs so far, and yesterday just after ten o'clock there 23 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.920 was another pip spotted. And I'm watching. I'm watching them 24 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.480 like me, and I think about twenty five thousand other 25 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.680 people are watching right now, and they're up in the nest. 26 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.079 There's lots of snow, but the chicks are nice and 27 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.239 fluffy and moving around, and you can see there's a 28 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.000 big hole in one of the eggs. Yesterday when it 29 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.599 was raining, I don't know if you guys are, if 30 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.680 you're as obsessed as I am, but I was watching 31 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.159 and Jackie gets up and it's pouring down rain, and 32 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.159 those little eaglets are drenched and they don't have feathers 33 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.520 or anything yet, so they're not waterproof, and they just 34 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.719 have this fuzz on them. And they looked like wet cats, 35 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.159 but you know what, birds or maybe a chicken that 36 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.400 had been plucked or something like the poor little guys. 37 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.360 But they're nice and fluffy and dry this morning. So 38 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.319 very exciting. We'll keep you posted. And because we're on 39 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.680 PIP watch again, also, daylight saving time kicks in on Sunday. 40 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.919 And one of the things we were talking about yesterday 41 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.639 is how you know, if you want to kind of 42 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.759 get your body acclimated, you should get up a little 43 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.000 bit early. Yesterday I did get up early because I 44 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:41.800 thought somebody was breaking into the house. It was just 45 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.680 the winds blowing. Today, I woke up ahead of my 46 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.560 alarm clock about fifteen minutes early. Again, well that's one 47 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.680 of us. So I'm getting acclimated. So that's what you're 48 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.039 supposed to do. You're supposed to go to bed a 49 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.840 little bit early and go to get up a little 50 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.360 bit early to sort of ease yourself into the time change. 51 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.159 Here's what's ahead on wake up call. Residents of Pacific 52 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.800 Palisades can once again drink water out of the tap. 53 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.360 LA Mayor Bats announced yesterday that I do not drink 54 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.879 order for homes still standing after the Palisades fire are 55 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.280 being lifted today. The fires tore through the Palisades two 56 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.240 months ago. Today. A first look at a court ordered 57 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.360 audit of LA's homelessness program shows poor oversight and an 58 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.840 inability to track substantial funds allocated to the programs. More 59 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.599 than two billion dollars has been dedicated to homeless issues, 60 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.680 according to the report. SpaceX has lost another Starship rocket. 61 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.520 Rocket was ten test launched yesterday from SpaceX's base in Texas. 62 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.400 About eight minutes into the flight, several of the engines 63 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.159 appeared to lose power, and then the craft spun out 64 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.960 of control and there was an explosion. There are phone scams, 65 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.479 There are tech scams, there are email scams and now 66 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.759 EBC's Jim Ryan says, the bad guys are going after 67 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.599 good people on Facebook. Is there nowhere they will go 68 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.840 or won't go anyway? We're going to be talking to 69 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.159 Jim Ryan at about five twenty. Also, where can you 70 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.759 get the most space for the least money? Dean Sharp, 71 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.599 our house whisper is going to tell us at the 72 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.560 bottom of the hour. Let's get started with some of 73 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.240 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our 74 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.319 newsroom and auditing firms says it has been difficult to 75 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.599 do a full accounting of LA's homeless services. 76 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.639 The audit was ordered by a federal judge as part 77 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.519 of an ongoing lawsuit against the city. The firm Alpharez 78 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.560 and Marsal says the city and the LA Homeless Services 79 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.160 Authority were difficult to deal with, not providing all the 80 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.560 needed info and demonstrating a lack of oversight and proper 81 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.959 accounting for programs related to homeless spending. A draft of 82 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.839 the audit released yesterday says there's been around two point 83 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.959 three billion dollars spent on homeless programs, but there's no 84 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.680 full accounting on how that money was spent. The full 85 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.519 audit is expected to include Mayor Bass's Inside Safe program. 86 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.759 Michael Monks, KFI news. 87 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.360 Come lawmaker say they are sickened and frustrated by Governor 88 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.160 Newsom's remarks on trans athletes. Newsom had conservative activist Charlie 89 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.680 Kirk on the first episode of Newsom's podcast. When Kirk 90 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.439 asked whether Newsom thinks a man should be allowed to 91 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.000 play in women's sports. 92 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.399 I think it's an issue of fairness. 93 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.639 I completely agree with you on that, so that's easy 94 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.079 to call out the unfairness of that. 95 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.720 Newsom says. The way people talk down to vulnerable communities 96 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:19.319 is also an issue. Assembly Member Chris Ward and Senator 97 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.800 Caroline Menjivar say all students deserve the academic and health 98 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.240 benefits of sports activity. Nest is about to get more crowded. 99 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.160 A third egg has begun hatching for bald eagles Jackie 100 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.519 and Shadow in their nests one hundred and forty five 101 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.319 feet above Big Bear Lake. Pipping started yesterday morning. It 102 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.279 can take a day or more for the eaglet to hatch. 103 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.040 Two other eglets hatched earlier this week. You can watch 104 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.040 them and the proud parents at KFIAM six forty dot 105 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.120 com slash big Bear. Let's say good morning now to 106 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.480 ABC's Steven Portnoys. So, Stephen, we know about Texas Democratic 107 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.959 Representative Al Green being censured for interrupting the President during 108 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.879 his address on Tuesday night, But what we don't know 109 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.879 is what happened next and what happened after the censure. 110 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.560 Well after the censure vote, the Democrat from south of 111 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.879 Houston was surrounded by more than a dozen Democrats in 112 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:10.560 the well of the House. 113 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.800 He raised his cane in the air. 114 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.000 They sang, we shall overcome, and some Republicans said, Aha, 115 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.120 he doesn't get it. We need to send a stronger message. 116 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.720 So the House of the chair of the House Freedom 117 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.120 Caucus said yesterday that censure's not enough. He's calling for 118 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.040 what he calls real consequences, and that would be the 119 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.439 stripping of committee assignments from Texas Democrat Al Green for 120 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.439 disrupting the president's speech on Tuesday night, which feels like 121 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.399 it was two weeks ago. And we'll see what happens. 122 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:44.600 I mean, the House is out until Monday of next week, 123 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.959 and so this will have to come up again. I 124 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.279 suppose if the Freedom Caucus types are really insistent upon 125 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.079 moving that forward, it could happen. Al Green has seats 126 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.839 on two committees. He's on the Financial Services Committee and 127 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:04.720 the he's also on well, mainly the House Financial Services Committee. 128 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.519 That's he serves as the ranking member of the Oversight 129 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.319 and Investigation Subcommittee, and he's also a member of the 130 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.319 Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credits. So you know, look, 131 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.959 committee assignments are important to members of Congress. It gives 132 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.199 them sort of an expertise and purview, say so, in 133 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.160 the crafting of legislation. It's less important when you're in 134 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.879 the minority, but you still want to be able to 135 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.279 ask important questions of hearings. And to be kicked off 136 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.040 a committee is a very bold statement. It's only made rarely, 137 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.839 But so too is the bold statement of censure, which 138 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.720 is which used to be rare. But yesterday al Green 139 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.279 became the fifth person to be censured by the House 140 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.360 this decade. Four of them have been Democrats, and so 141 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.680 clearly it's become invoked more regularly. 142 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.040 Okay, So then you mentioned in your notes that there 143 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.040 was a segment of a screaming match. I want to 144 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:01.560 hear about that. 145 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:07.759 Ah, Well, the screaming match took place after the censure vote, because, 146 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.240 as I say, they was there was the scene on 147 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.199 the floor, which we did see. It was available for 148 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.120 viewers on television who were watching the house floor. 149 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.560 You know, Yeah, we saw them. We saw them gather 150 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:21.839 and Green was in the middle and everybody was singing. 151 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.160 We saw that part, but I didn't see the yelling 152 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:24.759 and screaming. 153 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.439 You didn't see it because the House speaker gabbled the 154 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.959 house into recess and that turns off the cameras and microphones. 155 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.519 What we understand, and I was not there to see 156 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.879 it myself, is that there was a shouting match that 157 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.080 went on for several minutes after the fact, with recriminations 158 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.200 on the floor, Republicans and Democrats pointing fingers and yelling 159 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.679 and screaming. But that's all we know. 160 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.039 Oh okay, Well, I you know, I just I don't 161 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.960 know about you, but I just think they all look 162 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.200 like a bunch of big babies. 163 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.919 Well it certainly is not something to be all that 164 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.000 proud of, that's for sure. But look, I mean, you know, 165 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.639 Al Green says that he would do it again, and 166 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.759 he was standing. He says on principle that he believes 167 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.799 that this president is going to come after Medicaid. Now, 168 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.559 Republicans say that it was a tragic breach of decorum 169 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.240 and that there ought to be punishment to deter others 170 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.360 from doing it again. Of course, you know, it's been 171 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.480 we've now been at this, I guess for about almost 172 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.679 sixteen years now, where you've seen presidents being heckled. And 173 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.639 it was South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson who screamed, you 174 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.919 lie at Barack Obama a decade and a half ago. 175 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:30.200 Yeah. 176 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.000 Yeah, I think he was the first one. And pretty 177 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.120 soon we're going to look like some of the other 178 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.200 Houses of whatever lawmakers around the country or around the 179 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.720 world that they are normally yelling and screaming at each other. 180 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:44.879 And we always think, oh, we're so much more civilized 181 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.200 than that, but apparently not anymore. 182 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:47.480 Well, we'll see, all. 183 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.200 Right, Steven Portner, thank you so much. Have a great weekend, 184 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.679 you bet. Let's get back to some of the stories 185 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.559 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 186 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.039 federal judge has given the Trump administration until Monday to 187 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.639 pay nearly two billion dollars in debts to Usaid and 188 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.879 State Department partners. The Foreign assistance was frozen six weeks ago. 189 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.080 The judge yesterday ruled in favor of the nonprofits and 190 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.759 businesses that sued the government. The order came a day 191 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.480 after a divided Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request 192 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.639 to freeze funding that flowed through USAID. Officials from the 193 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.679 US and Ukraine are planning to meet next week for 194 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.799 talks aimed at ending the war with Russia. Ross Cullen 195 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:29.159 reports President Trump's Special Envoy, Steve Whitcoff, made the announcement yesterday. 196 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.480 The idea for the talks in Saudi Arabia is to 197 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.399 quote get down a framework for a peace agreement and 198 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.960 an initial ceasefire. President Zelenski said on Thursday that Ukraine 199 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.799 is not only ready to take the necessary steps for peace, 200 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.240 but quote, we are also proposing those steps. 201 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.200 Zelensky's trying to mend relations with the US following a 202 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.879 heated exchange with President Trump and Vice President Vance in 203 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.879 the Oval Office last week. Trump has since paused military 204 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.240 assistance to Ukraine and cut off intelligence sharing between the 205 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.679 two governments. We're going to be talking more about the 206 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.399 prospects for a peace in Ukraine with ABC's State Department 207 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.000 correspondent Shannon Kingston. That's coming up at five point fifty. 208 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.519 EU leaders have approved new defense spending plans since the 209 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.440 Trump administration pushed Europe to handle its own security. They'll 210 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.080 ease budget limits to allow countries to increase military spending 211 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.799 and ask the European Commission to find ways to help. 212 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.679 This could free up six hundred and fifty billion euros 213 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.200 plus one hundred and fifty billion euro loan for new equipment. 214 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.039 A private lunar lander has touched down near the Moon's 215 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.600 south pole, but the Intuitive machine craft may have tipped over. 216 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.559 We've been very successful to this point. 217 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.039 However, I do have to tell you that we don't 218 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.399 believe we're in the correct attitude on the surface of 219 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:41.759 the Moon. 220 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.000 CEO Steve Altimas says the lander is still charging on 221 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.679 the Moon's service surface and they are able to communicate 222 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:53.120 with it. This is the Texas Company's second attempt to 223 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.720 get a lander on the Moon. Odyssey reached the Moon 224 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.360 in February of last year, but it tipped over shortly 225 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.720 after it touched down. There's another lander that landed on 226 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.840 the Moon earlier, and it is upright and sending pictures 227 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.879 back to Earth. Ellie County Sheriff's officials say they have 228 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.840 arrested so called booster crews who stole four million dollars 229 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:19.759 worth of merchandise from stores. The merchandise included high end handbags, clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, 230 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.240 scented candles, and over the counter medications that were then 231 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.240 sold off to people who turned around and resold the items. 232 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.440 A city in northern California has declared itself a non 233 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.039 sanctuary city. The Oraville City Council says it will share 234 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.519 immigration status information with ICE and says its decision will 235 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.879 enhance public safety. Meanwhile, Sacramento is part of a coalition 236 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.960 suing the Trump administration over potential funding cuts to sanctuary cities. 237 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.480 President Trump says he'll probably extend the deadline to ban 238 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.639 TikTok if a deal to sell it isn't reached. The 239 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.480 Chinese owned company Bite Dance still has until April fifth 240 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.879 to sell TikTok to a US based company or be 241 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.279 banned in the US. Trump says there's a lot of 242 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.000 buyer interest in the social media platform. At six SO 243 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.320 five Tandle on the news, Mexico and Canada are getting 244 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.799 a bit of a reprieve on tariffs for now, but 245 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.240 will they last. Let's say good morning now to ABC's 246 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.360 Jim Ryan. So, Jim, you and I have talked about 247 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.879 scams before. There's email scams and text scams and phone scams, 248 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.120 and now another one is landed on Facebook. 249 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.600 Yeah, you and I are friends on Facebook, right, yep. 250 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.399 So let's say you saw a posting that I put 251 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.279 up there that says, oh my, I've had to put 252 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.919 my my dad into assisted living, and he's got a 253 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.639 bunch of things that I need to try to sell. 254 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.639 You take a look at this and see if you're 255 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.679 interested in any of them. Then I'm going to list 256 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.480 out pictures of a camera on for six hundred dollars, 257 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.039 some furniture, a four f one fifty pickup truck for 258 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.639 seven thousand dollars, then some other stuff on this list, Okay, 259 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.279 And so you're like, well, I know him, so I 260 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.840 trust that these are probably legitimate. And so you decide, okay, Yeah, 261 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.759 you reach out and you say I'm gonna buy this thing, this. 262 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.399 This truck for seven thousand dollars. 263 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:02.879 But you pay your seven thousand bucks and I'm like you, 264 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.360 I really appreciate it. Meet me here, I'll have the 265 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.639 truck and the title for you and then we'll make 266 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.279 the swap. And you say, okay, But the problem is 267 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.360 that it doesn't exist. I didn't put that posting up. 268 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.360 I didn't do it. My dad died six years ago. 269 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.080 So you got to be very careful for this. But 270 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.679 it is happening, and here's a good way to backstop it. 271 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.480 In the same way that scammers are using Facebook and 272 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.679 eBay and Craigslist to rip people off, you can use 273 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.039 technology as well to kind of prevent yourself from being 274 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.919 a victim. There's so many of these postings like this, 275 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.159 and they're all over the internet right now. Amy, They're 276 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.480 all over Facebook. They include pictures of the items the 277 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.679 person is trying to sell. We'll do a Google search 278 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.320 on some of those pictures and you'll see that they've 279 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.399 been used over and over again for different purposes, some legitimate, 280 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.440 some not legitimate, and they're being used here big tip off, 281 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.000 a giant red flag that says this is not legit. 282 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.960 Okay, So if it's a getty stock image, it's probably 283 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.120 not your friends truck. But that was That's what I 284 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.759 was going to ask you. If it was just random 285 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.080 people or if it looks like it's coming from one 286 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.360 of your friends. So they've hacked your account. 287 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.919 Exactly, or hacked their account, or they've spoofed it, right, okay. 288 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.000 And all they had to do was to go into 289 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.759 your you know, on Facebook, and look at your friends. 290 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.200 They come up with my name, my face there. They've 291 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.480 spoofed the account, make a fake Facebook page and start 292 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.399 putting items onto it to get people to buy it. 293 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.960 And unfortunately, apparently it's working. 294 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.399 Okay. You know, whenever I see ads on Facebook or Instagram, 295 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.200 I assume it's some sort of scam. I mean, but 296 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:42.039 there are legitimate ads and requests for assistance and stuff. 297 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.919 Is there any way to tell a difference, aside from, 298 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.720 like you said, going and researching and googling. 299 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.799 All this h a little research, but it's worth it if 300 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.279 you can keep from losing a bunch of money, you know. 301 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.000 And if people are online, if they're asking you to 302 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.879 pay them a some sort of if you say, look, 303 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.519 I'm going to get over there tomorrow to pick this 304 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.080 thing up, and they say, well, well, pay me a 305 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.879 deposit right now with gift cards and I'll take it 306 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.559 off the market. 307 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.799 Their gift cards, I think, are always a telltale sign. 308 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:10.879 Yeah they should be. 309 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.519 Yeah, and even even the gift card companies recognize that, 310 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.480 and the grocery stores where you buy them, they have 311 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.440 big signs that say who's asking you to get this 312 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.039 gift card? 313 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.159 Is? 314 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.200 Is it a scammer?
