  That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.

    I had one Indian scammer use my name so I was interested. Then he asked if my email was still current and gave an email that I used like 20 years ago in middle school. I laughed and told him he paid for shitty info. It was a goddamn Hotmail account to give you an idea.

    If we all wasted 5 minutes we could shut down the system.

    People really underestimate the power of collective action. It’s just meat based ddos.

        Maybe. That gets expensive very fast. We should all ask for artwork.

    Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. I always love talking to Indian scammers when they call about my student loans that don’t exist.
