Clear, concise, and with respect. That seems exceptional for a modern parent.

Yeah, it's funny. But, OP, please tell him he's awesome for me.

What gives him away is that he assumes you know how to call him. Scammers don't do that and ask instead to send them your emails and password per Mail or text message. Totally not a scammer, busted at first glance.

Hello, this is John Smith from amazon. here to reach you about your lifelock nortan antivirus. It is currently out of date, and is insecure. To fix it we simply must fix your cars extended warranty.

As a cybersecurity professional, I appreciate that he says for security purposes to call him directly with the details.

If he was really trolling though he should include a hyperlink to click.

I wish my dad texted like that instead of just the text equivalent of grunting like a caveman. The man's a fucking software engineer; he shouldn't have trouble typing or with tech lol

I wish my mother was like this,.I'd.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I'll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I've told her to chill, it doesn't work.

many thanks dad

That looks exactly like how my dad sends email.

Your dad has been hacked

I have a crush on that dad now
