Hi everyone, Thanks for all the advice over my Grimdark scheme from yesterday's post. I've dry brushed in a purple transition from the black carapace to the red flesh and then dry brushed any red areas I wanted to bring back up. Also painted the eyes bathasar gold C&C welcome 🙏

I got a call by ADIB's CS agent for a credit card application. The agent knew a lot of specific information about the application - which couldn't have really been "sold" to anyone.
However, the agent shared over the following link via SMS, which was also titled under "ADIB", and I'd received valid OTPs from that sender previously, but this can't be trusted.
https://preview.redd.it/x7j67q4dir3b1.png?width=659&format=png&auto=webp&s=978155ac5f5c9ace67e6a296ab78652241864c58
What made me cut the call was the fact that they asked to screenshare to assist in filling the card application form. Not sure if anyone has had an experience with ADIB like this before?
Another possible red flag was that ADIB's actual website is on `adib.ae`, whereas the link the agent shared was on `adib.com`. I did check the SSL certificate of `adib.com`, and it seemed to be owned by ADIB; but then again - why `adib.com` and not `adib.ae`?

Common name: adib.ae SANs: adib.ae, adib.com, www.adib.com, www.adib.ae, adib.com.iq, banoon.adib.ae, cards.adib.ae, dana.adib.ae, etihad.adib.ae, etisalat.adib.ae, ghina.adib.ae, gold.adib.ae, homefinance.adib.ae, instantfinance.adib.ae, wealth.adib.ae, isic.adib.ae Organization: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank PJSC Location: Abu Dhabi, AE Valid from August 1, 2022 to August 5, 2023 Serial Number: 0b5a2915d43eb80073ab2c76c11fb6dd Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption Issuer: DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA 

This might just be paranoia, but I wanted to confirm with fellow ADIB card holders before going all in.

I usually only eat once or twice a day (a big portion of my daily calories go to supplements and I only find myself hungry once or twice a day), so I often make my meals pretty hefty to get enough calories in. I’ve really been wanting to try making pasta sauce with feta and tomatoes, but I made due with what I have. Here’s the recipe:
Nutrition Info 1,381 Calories 25g Fat 81mg Cholesterol 194g Carbs 26g Fiber 108g Protein
Ingredients: 8 1/2 oz Protein Pasta
Sauce: 1/2-2 cups Cherry Tomatoes 3/4 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese 1/4 cup Oikos Pro Greek Yogurt 1/2 cup Shaved Parmesan 1 Tbsp Basil Paste 3 scoops Unflavored Plant Protein 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Season from the soul: Salt Pepper Crushed Red Pepper Italian Seasoning
The protein powder makes the sauce pretty thick, and it gets thicker as it cools. I also added it at the end and with I had added it sooner, or mixed it with a bit of milk, even. This was my first time making it, so I need to experiment with it still. I will say, the thickness of the sauce did give it a macaroni and cheese texture that I enjoyed a bit. It just isn’t what I was going for. Still super tasty and hit the spot!
