From the City that Changes the World, peers Rose with
three things you need to.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Know for your Monday. Rose got pros.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
So the FDC has issued an alert warning consumers to
be on guard for TSA PreCheck scam. So basically, these
scammers are sending out emails that look like they're from
TSA PreCheck with a link to a website that looks
like the official website.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
But it's not, so you have to be very careful
if you get one of these emails.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
First of all, if you're applying for TSA PreCheck for
the first time, you shouldn't be getting an email because
you don't pay online for that, you have to do
it in person. If you already have TSA PreCheck, you
can renew and pay online, So make sure you're using
the correct website. One of the big things they say
is make sure the website is dot gov not dot com,
because there is a government website. They're saying, don't click
(00:51):
on unexpected emails or text messages, no matter how real
they look. Don't be rushed, like if someone is insisting
you pay right now, chances.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Are that that's probably a scammer.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And then they're just saying just go straight to the website,
the TSA dot gov slash pre check website that we
don't have to worry about scamming at all, and if
you think you've you've spotted a scam, report it to
the FTC. So two men are facing charges in Northern
Virginia after a police investigation into the street race that
went viral with the Tesla cybertruck and the Lamborghini.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Police say the driver of the cyber truck turned himself
in on Friday, and officers arrested.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The driver of the Lamborghini the same day.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Like I said, the race swam viral because Elon must
re shared it. The two men were cited for multiple
traffic violations and then released from custody. And a redditor
posted about getting a five pack of Reese's peanut butter
cups that did not contain peanut butter at all.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It was just straight chocolate, which.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Would be the weirdest thing ever that went viral, and
Reese's has responded with their limited edition deconstructed peanut butter
cup kits, which is brilliant marketing on their part. So basically,
they give you this giant, oversized chocolate shell and your
own peanut butter, and you could fill it up as
much as.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You want or as little as you want.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It went live on the Hershey store for thirty dollars
on Saturday, immediately sold out. I am, but the company
says the surprising popularity of the product hasn't reconsidering bringing
it back for a limited time kit down the road,
so I'm sure be on the look out for that
because it looks kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (02:14):

know for the day. Thank you, Rose.
