Social media scammers dang who knew then on a totally un-related note I always choose a window seat when flying so I can expose myself to passengers on other planes during the taxi to take off roll.
Deleted social media in January and it’s been WONDERFUL!
The only one I kept aaaand now I remember YouTube counts as social media. Now I am no longer high and mighty. 😂💔💔.
sO iT Turns out dumb is still dumb. Got it
Our state department is funding a global music club while Americans are censored after a court order 🤡
This is why I never use Zelle or whatever. Always give money in cash!
These victims are completely stupid they could of used that money to extend the warranty on their car like i did bunch of fools
That's why digital money or digital anything just about is so dangerous … It's All HACKABLE no matter how save they tell you it is …. Sure it's possible to get robbed for your hard cash , but not as easy … reject digital currency by any means necessary …. You don't wannabe easiest into a Social Credit Score System because if that happens hackers will be the least of your worries even though they'll be blamed for everything
This shows how dumb America is to even fall for this.
And I was so looking forward to hearing the stable genius read from text
Don't buy at all… Make your friend a card.. Bake a cake..make a dinner..etc.. It's better for your bank account and your relationships
I learned young getting burned by a cell phone service that went under, they took my money and folded. Now if I'm doing significant business with a new company, I like to know they're stable/legit.
Which social media platform? And did that particular one that claimed it was in Florida commit the crime in Florida?
👍🏾
Most scams are based out of India and Africa the reviews are usually smurf account by the scammer group
Pretty well known fact that most ads on social media are misleading at best
if only there way a company that could take down these scam pages
It’s a good thing that I don’t pay student loans, medical bills or any bills for that matter, so good luck scammers
Serves them right.
Poor stupid people 😕 including me 😂. DirectUnlocks tricked me 😂
