    I hear it’s pretty easy these days, you just gotta ask to join the group chat and then you’ll be in the loop and stuff. Just gotta remember to ask about new secret activities because they like to have a new group chat sometimes eg “hey are you guys planning any covert black ops atm be sweet if you could add me to the chat” and they’ll be like “sure are you still on the same number” and there you go

      Haha, I had a similar situation. Our chat app had a message from our IT about installing an app that tracks location and state of computer, but without the normal corporate memo first. Just a “hey please install from this link”.

      So I said " How do I know this is not a phishing scam".

      The reply was “it’s real, its’s me ITguyname”.

      Me: “How do I know its the real ITGuyname and not an imposter.”

      Itguyname: “Because I’m standing up”

      So I knew it was our IT guy by that joke, but there could still be a chance it wasn’t. How is it a random dude is more suspicious of supposed chat connections that the US government.
