Ping!...........
PEGGY!................
There’s a job for the Trump CIA... take scammers down all over the world with enough prejudice to make all others shut down. It’s a huge economic impact preying on the weak.
I was actually catfished on Facebook, with this exact modus operandi. An attractive ‘woman’ wanted to tell me all about cryptocurrency.
I have a live-in girlfriend, so there was no interest on my part, in either the fake chick or the crypto.
I get those same ‘messages’ on ‘X’ all the time.
I just delete and block them..............
BTTT
How about just informing the local authorities of the location of the miscreants and let them take care of it, or else..............WE WILL.............
I’m surprised the Sheikh hasn’t cracked down. He’s trying to run a high class country where only those who are stealing billions are allowed to operate.
I wish we’d go after these people even more than we do. They are fun to screw with. At my old company we had test accounts from every credit card known to man, and I’d use one of those when I got a call from someone who wanted to sell a warranty or fix my computer. They’d cuss you out and we made a game of it sometimes at the office to see who could get a scammer pissed first. Once, we conferenced in two on the same call. That was entertaining for about a minute.
Ever wonder who the sociopaths are you see in Netflix documentaries, catfishing people...
Sociopath? Heartless, yes. Don’t know about sociopath.
I knew Israeli Americans who did this in Isreal...called elderly Americans as the prime target.
And it’s done in India, Russia, a lot of Eastern European countries...a LOT of African countries...
It needs to be crushed.
But only by hitting the governments hard will it stop.
Cause almost EVERYONE is in on taking advantage of vulnerable Americans
and it needs to stop
Trump has an opportunity to change America again by eliminating spam calls.
The Deep State will fight him on it.
I get maybe 10 calls a week from “Mary” wanting to “tell me” about medicare. Now the name has changed and some guy who can barely speak English tries. I hang up or let it go to voicemail where they hang up before saying a word.
We have caller ID at work, so if I don’t recognize the number I let it go to VM..................
I believe Lazamataze was the master of the scam turnaround with the Nigerian scammers back in the day. Very funny stuff.
This seems to be the pattern. They also have major operations out of northern Burma and in Cambodia. The scammer you actually talk to is little better than a slave. Someone needs to take out the bosses running these ops, but the communist party in China is probably being paid off as part of the operations.
With extreme prejudice ...
It’s amazing how many of these are based on the greed of the mark. My aunt got taken for everything by a sweepstakes scammer. They even sent her a picture of her door in assisted living.
