And just shout out to my boyfriend who just went to the rescue and called the company.

I didn't know I could get reimbursed either because I thought like it's your fault.

But they are working on reimbursing me.

And I did use my own advice and went to the Federal Trade Commission website to report that spammy website and report the scam.

So hopefully other people don't fall prey to it.

That's right.

That's right.

And, you know, I just want to put it out there as well that scams are just so common.

I came across a 2025 Pew Research report and it found that 73 percent of U.S.

adults have experienced some type of online scam.

And that's across all age groups.

So it doesn't matter how young, middle age or old you are.

And stealing credit and debit card information and charging on those cards was the most common kind of scam that people sometimes experienced.

And I think it felt so defeating because I'm someone who usually triple checks a website before I input any information, you know?

So I was like, how did I fall for this?

But Sean, did you encounter any scams during the holidays or just even as the year has started?

It really can.

And it reminds me of one of my favorite features on some of my credit cards, which is to freeze it.

So even if you suspect someone has used a credit card for something fraudulent, you can freeze it so that they can't make any more transactions.

That's it.
