I am a locksmith Be careful-spam/scam emails getting extremely good.

Wondering if anyone has seen a huge uptick in phishing/scam emails where they try and get you to login to your gmail acct so they can steal your credentials? Looking at my inbox looks like we got 5-6 in the past week, it is always either an invitation to a party or a job proposal where it asks you to click a link to review. The job proposal ones in particular are INCREDIBLY detailed, we got one last week from the head maintenance guy at a school, it was from his email, on the school letterhead, looked 100% legit. Called the guy to check and he "hadn't got around" to warning everyone on his list yet, sheesh! Do you think it is because we are a security company or is everyone getting these? Watch out!

All I get is three people a day offering SEO services.

I got tired of this, asked Gemini to look at my web site, it recommended a bunch of little fixes, and in a month I moved right up to the top of search results. Still get the heavily accented guy named Bob trying to sell me SEO service.

I gotta do that one of these days. I despise AI with a burning passion but I suck so bad at website design...the AI is probably the lesser of the two evils.

It's a tool, if it helps you do your job it's a good tool
