Woman: Really? Yeah. That would be really helpful.

 

Man: Yeah and I'm signing up right now.

 

Woman: Wow. Let me see that.

 

Man: Yeah. It's easy. You just enter your name, your birthday, your address, your bank information. [ What? ] Your credit² card number.

 

Woman: Wait, wait, wait. [ What? ] I thought you said it was free.

 

Man: It IS free.

 

Woman: Then, why do they need your bank and credit card information?

 

Man: Well, you know, it's just, you know, just . . . just to check your identity³ or something like that. But, but it's all free. What?

 

Woman: That doesn't sound free to me.

 

Man: Well, you don't understand.

 

Woman: It sounds pretty fishy⁴ to me. How do you know that this is a trusted Web site. Look. That doesn't look like a secure⁵ URL.

 

Man: Well, you don't understand. Look. It says right here on their page. Right here: "Our goal is help you learn. Trusting us. We knows how to help you in 15 days or below." What? What?

 

Woman: That's terrible English. Who wrote this? What country are they in? You need to help THEM with their English. I mean, this is a sure sign that they are trying to probably steal your personal information and your identify.

 

Man: No, no, no, and look. Here is a picture of some of their staff. And they look honest. Hey . . .

 

Woman: You're so gullible⁶.

 

Man: Hey, hey. What are you doing?

 

Woman: I'm shutting down your computer. I can't watch my own brother fall for a scam like this.

 

Man: You just don't understand.
