How to Send Disappearing Messages on WhatsApp?

ORIGINAL POST

I got an email in my inbox that says “failure to send to xxxxx@google.com” that I have not tried to contact. The kicker is that it’s my personal gmail account name.

For example if my gmail address is ilovekittens@gmail.com the “failure to send” address is ilovekittens@google.com

What is this?

Spoofers using your email address to send spam. Not much you can do.

A new spam method to bypass filters. If you enable showing images (don't) the spam is in image form in the body of the email after the error message.

The way it works is they spoof the sender to be your email address and they send the spam to a non-existent email on a domain hosted by Google Cloud. A Google bot replies to the sent message (to you because of the spoofed sender) telling you the email could not be delivered and "helpfully" includes the body of the sent email (the spam).

And so the spam gets delivered to you by Google's own system thus bypassing spam filters.

And on your part it's ill advised to block the bot because then you won't know if a legitimate email you sent bounced.

Google could detect the sender spoofing and stop this from working, it's trivially easy to do so, but they don't.

We're all human, we all make mistakes. Don't ever let people hold you hostage like that, ignore them, even in the worst case scenario, don't give them the satisfaction of a response, you're above that.

Contact police or FBI. Do not respond to any emails / requests / messages from the blackmailers. Very unlikely that they go through the trouble of sending out videos to anyone. Also, don't sent dick picks to strangers.

Ignore it and/or tell them to fuck off. If they send them then so be it. Explain the situation to your family and that’s that.

Is it normal for recruiters to send messages on WhatsApp?

Posted by Cantankerous_Fusili · in r/UKJobs · 2 days ago

I had a missed phone call from a UK number and then a WhatsApp message explaining that they’re a recruiter from a company I’ve applied to.

Seems legit to me, but I just thought I’d double check, in case it is some kind of scam.

scam almost certainly. i was applying on indeed and got the whatsapp message asking for an interview, i agreed and they then asked for all the documents (Id, bank details, NI number, etc) - it didnt feel right so i messaged the company directly and they had a few similar complaints, i spent the next half an hour sending random penises i found online to the whatsapp and email address. not much you can do tbh but it amused me

You can either have transcripts sent directly through AMCAS by requesting through your application (easier process) or externally through Interfolio. The application requires the transcripts to submit since verifying them is part of the first step

Ok-Firefighter338 · 2 days ago

It’s not as hard as you might think.

You cannot go through the application process without transcripts. Your application must first go through the Verification process (4-6weeks), where your transcripts are matched with the grades you entered. Schools will not see your App until this process is completed.

You send 1 transcript from each college/university you took classes at. Transcripts are sent directly to AMCAS, it is not hard and electronic transcripts are received usually next-day.

Disappearing messages I send are saving to my gallery, help :(

Posted by dominicanops · in r/whatsapp · 4 days ago

It wasn't like this until very recently but whenever I send a disappearing video or picture, the content saves to my gallery of my phone. So then I have to constantly go into my gallery and delete the pic/video. Super annoying and I don't want it to save every pic/video I sent that's disappearing.

Any one else have this issue as of recent? I tried toggling media visibility but doesn't seem to make a difference at all.

There have been a few posts about it. One of the posters mentioned that they installed a previous version of the app, and view once media is no longer being saved to their phone. I’m not sure if it's a bug with the latest version of the app or just how the “view once” feature works now.

I guess you would have to download the APK file from a trusted site. I'm not one for downloading anything from anywhere other than the play store so I can't help you more with that.

I would just wait a little and see if it's resolved in the next WhatsApp update.

Well I see you put a lot of hard work in.

The angel say you deserve rewards for work well done in the past.

I know what it's like to want to have tangible proof that your words and your prayers are being heard and it is possible.

So you said that you used to have casual conversations with your spirit guides, I'm just curious, does that mean you could see them and you were talking to them in person or you just kind of went with it and knew that they could hear you?

They still can hear you, your guides are saying that you're better off to pray to archangel Uriel specifically.

This will help start up the flow of positive abundance.

The way I personally connected with my spirit guides and was able to see them in person was through affirmations and roughly six weeks straight of meditation.

It's different for everybody, some people say they meditate for years and nothing happens, why, I just don't know.

I think self trust is important, I think what needs to be healed as well, not dripping with negative energy from trauma or pent up negative feelings.

How do you see yourself communicating with your guides, if you could choose between seeing them with your eyes open or through visions, telepathically, visually, are you okay with a system of taps, perhaps tapping on your leg or back?

Feel free to ask any follow-up questions.

👍💙🙂

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with such a helpful response- I really appreciate it 🙏

>Well I see you put a lot of hard work in.

>The angel say you deserve rewards for work well done in the past.

I have been doing a lot of healing myself these past few years- like shadow work, I've also been doing a lot of reflection and forgiveness, which has been hard.

>So you said that you used to have casual conversations with your spirit guides, I'm just curious, does that mean you could see them and you were talking to them in person or you just kind of went with it and knew that they could hear you?

I'd ask them basic questions, from what their favourite food was if they had a past life on earth or where they were from etc. So kind of like "getting to know you" questions. So I couldn't see them at all, and I couldn't hear them, to an outsider It'd look like me speaking to nothing. So I know that they can hear me and I was thinking that that would be a good way to develop a stronger relationship so that eventually I could see them and communicate more efficiently. So I know they can hear but I never heard anything back or got any signs that were super clear.

>They still can hear you, your guides are saying that you're better off to pray to archangel Uriel specifically.

Thank you, I shall do this, I've been trying to communicate with another arcangel, but I will pray to Arcangel Uriel! I will also learn about him.

>This will help start up the flow of positive abundance.

Good news, what a blessing, thank you.

>The way I personally connected with my spirit guides and was able to see them in person was through affirmations and roughly six weeks straight of meditation.

What type of meditation specifically if I may ask? My type of meditation is one in which I send out messages/prayers and focus on them and trying to keep my mind clear enough in case they show themselves.

>It's different for everybody, some people say they meditate for years and nothing happens, why, I just don't know

Something I wonder too. Ive heard of some people who have, since childhood, just been able to communicate without putting in any effort.

Maybe if I continue processing and healing myself it will make more room, time will tell I'm sure.

>I think self trust is important, I think what needs to be healed as well, not dripping with negative energy from trauma or pent up negative feelings.

Definitely something thats been holding me back. It's hard work but I'm slowly getting there. Anger and shame have been the biggest ones for me! Slowly am getting better.

>How do you see yourself communicating with your guides, if you could choose between seeing them with your eyes open or through visions, telepathically, visually, are you okay with a system of taps, perhaps tapping on your leg or back?

I would like to see them, however if it's easier for them to touch/tap me then I won't say no, I'd see it as a stepping stone and massive step forward. I've asked them to give me clear signs within certain time frames but still nothing, maybe I should write up a short and more thorough script

AloneVictory4859 · 1 day ago

So the meditation I did, I didn't look up online, I just went with the flow, I got comfortable and I would sit and stare at something about 3 to 5 feet away after using my affirmations.

I meditated in with my eyes open, I guess in my case I saw them first and then the tapping started, I can't say if it'll be the same for you or not.

Honestly though, seeing them with your own eyes puts a lot of questions to rest.

Remember the movie Independence Day with Will Smith, that area 51 they had a crashed alien spaceship that was still fully functional, then when the mothership showed up all the other systems started booting up and working properly again.

Seeing spirits with your own eyes gives you that sort of feeling, it's like okay my systems are starting to boot up I can see spirits, now other systems are going to start coming online, touch, more sounds, maybe more dreams, I guess it's different for everybody though.

Happy to help answer your questions, wishing you the very best on your journey!
