I read r/scams and itâs amazing how many people get scammed. Just read about a 15 year old in Columbia who makes $300 a month but got scammed out of his life savings of $1000 by a sextortion scam. Itâs so sad.
People sending thousands in gift cards to whom they think are the police. Some people have lost thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Scamming is a hot business.
AI is going to make it so much worse if it hasnât already.
Hereâs my question: Why isnât anyone doing something about it? I get blown up with these USPS scam texts constantly.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Most of the perpetrators are from foreign countries which makes it much harder to track down.
Some random dude tracked them down and reverse hacked them. What he provided to postal inspectors, FBI, and the banks sounds like it was all news to them. If this was billionaires getting scammed out of their life savings weâd be bombing those countries.
My angry daydream is that NSA interns should practice by finding the scammers and Seal Team 6 interns should practice by terminating them with severe prejudice.
Internally?
They sure it wasnât his thyroid medicine?
Was playing poker last night. Part way through the night a guy sat down. Ripped (glamour muscles only), shaved head longish neat beard. He basically looked exactly like andrew tate. We were playing for a little while and then basically out of nowhere he says âyou didnât buy all that vaccine bullshit did you?â and unironically made the sheep noise. This is going to seem R/thathappened but I said youâre such a free thinker let me pick 5 topics and I bet I can nail your opinion on each of them. And I swear I went 5 for 5. 9/11 was an inside job. Elon Musk is cool and smart. Wokeness is out of control. There are too many immigrants. Andrew Tate isnât guilty of trafficking women itâs made up to discredit him.
Now obviously it didnât give him even a seconds pause and he was still spouting nonsense every hand but maybe just maybe in the dead of night heâll think hmm why are all my opinions so cookie cutter. Right guys?
they donât need cold weather? how long are they staying?
Another life saved by coffee
I like coffee
I do think itâs interesting in a morbid kind of way that MAGA people have some type of weird impulse to interject their stupid political views into random conversations in the most awkward ways possible.
You didnât comment on the important part. Was he a fish?
No
