(twitch slang) a play on "hype train" a feature that gives people rewards for subscribing, giving bits, and giving gifts to a channel en mass. It is often called scam train because the rewards are terrible and it just tries to add extra incentive for subscribing, and hype people up to give money to twitch.
I hate scam trains, they don't even give you anything good but they still get people to sub and give bits for no reason.

A tlTemu scam is typically a slideshow on tiktok telling you "how to get rich" or an inspirational slideshow, and then the next slide shows a Temu code which they ask you to enter their code so that they can get more rewards. This is used a lot, and is called a pyramid scheme, where an app tells you that you can earn more rewards, but you must invite someone, which makes their app more popular so that Temu gains revenue off of it.
Anyway, you shouldn't really be using Temu, as it is not a trustworthy app.

Shotgun Fraud, or Shotgun Scam, is a method of fraud in which multiple loans, mortgages, fraudulent cheques, or other financial withdraws are made in a very short amount of time. The scam works by going fast enough that it is over before the transactions are entered into the public record where banks and other institutions can view them.
There are two main types of shotgunning, Cheque Shotgunning, and Home Equity Shotgunning.
In the former, the same cheque is cashed at multiple banks, or at multiple branches of the same bank via online methods (ie. mobile banking) before the cheque is officially posted.
In the latter, multiple home equity loans are taken out against the same property with multiple banks, with them all closing within a short window of each other. This works because the credit bureau tradeline will not appear for 30 days, so the other banks cannot see that money is already being borrowed against the property.
