My favorite thing to do to those "Check out my game!" scammers is to pretend I downloaded it then describe things in the game that sound absolutely BONKERS and ask them how they coded it.
I think alot of these scams are purposefully made to sound ridiculous, so that smart or informed people just ignore or block you and only people, who are gullible enough to be your target group, actually respond and proceed with the scam. Saves the scammer a lot of time arguing and persuading.
They also tend to prey on people who may not be emotionally capable of making certain decisions. Outside of Discord, you will see "psychics" reaching out to people who either had a family member go missing, or pass away, or fall really ill and they will use their terrible emotional state to basically trick them into receiving answers. They really just prey on super desperate people
It's not exactly the intended consequence but that's pretty much how it works. The scammers usually don't have much more IQ than their victims, but there are cases of quite elaborate scams being made more dumb on purpose to avoid reeling in smarter people.
My relative has dementia. Before she went into assisted living, she gave personal information to a scammer; the odd thing is she said some of her information wrong and the scammers called her back to fix it but by this time she realized she was being scammed...and yet she gave them the information anyways. Maybe in the moment she could not think logically about what she should do now that she knew it was a scam. I think this fits the psychological definition of learned helplessness: "Learned helplessness is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly. They come to believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not try - even when opportunities for change become available." So maybe basically anyone can feel so stressed and defeated while being scammed that they just give in.
(In a creator community) we get a ton of commission scams, especially "emergency commission" scams. It angers me because we have *real artists* who can't pay their bills, and they can't get help because their industry is being tarnished by those idiots.
In the old days, there was a saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". In the modern day, "If you get any sort of good news on the internet, it's probably advance fee fraud" might be a more apt saying.
The scambaiter reporting the cashapp accounts is the kind of thing Kitboga does. It's funny when the scammers provide numerous bank accounts and are confused about them all not working anymore
literally as soon as he said "on the planet" when he said "best mic quality on the planet" my internet lagged and glitched his mic out and i thought it was a skit but i rewinded and he said it normally, perfect timing tbh
the sad thing about scams is that even if you're intelligent, if you're desperate enough and in a very rough financial situation any little glimmer of hope could be so bright that it covers the scam behind it. All they need is for you to be either unaware, desperate or naive and that's all. It always breaks my heart when I hear elderly get scammed who just thought they're going to get something good. That's why I like to pressure that people take the time and inform their beloved ones of those scams.
My parents recently got scammed of $150. They were "ordering" clothing from who they thought was a clothing seller in another country... and somehow got convinced that he's legit and they gave him the money. I was telling them the entire time that it was a scam, before the transaction even happened. My mom replied with "omg, you don't know anything, what do you know????" clearly more than you, mom, because I'm not a fool oh donated $150 to a scammer. then few days after I rubbed it in my mom's face and she said "well he seemed to be a legitimate buisness person" never apologized, never took responsibility for her ignorance. i straight up told my parents they deserved to get scammed and had that coming.
i'm sorry to hear that, hope your parents at least learn something from it i'm lucky my parents asks me about the legitimacy of anything digital, i usually give them a short breakdown of red flags i spot so they've gotten better at avoiding scams and at this point it's pretty rare for them to have to asks me, now i usually just talk to them of their findings for a 5 min just to make sure they find it hard to believe me at first, but i gave hard proof (also being a programmer do give a bit of "expert" feel to the info i gave) the first one took me an entire day, but i managed to find the scammer's personal social media and that was proof enough (as the guy didn't even look close to the profile picture of the scammer account) you should keep trying, for me i find that letting them talk first and listen helps them listen to me after (although my mother still often cuts me off to this day) that may not be the "style" for you, but i hope you find a way and i wish you luck
2:099:35 Atomic Shrimp: "Y'know, the kind of details you should never share with a stranger on the internet." (Even here, I remember how he always says that when a scammer tries to get way too much information from him.)
It's sad that even the poorest scam might convince someone to send scammers the money. And the worst thing is that you can collect someone's money even with stupid idea and people would trust you.
I notice that online scams generally prey on others by confusing them, so that they just go along with whatever the scammer wants them to do. The main difference here are the confusion tactics being obvious(e.g. bad grammar, ridiculous/exaggerated concepts), which makes it funny and an apparent scam XD Still worth seeing imo, as it's basically a neutered version of what scams people usually fall for, which use even more sly/manipulative tactics.
i got a type of psychic scammer once and they ended up blocking me bc i asked if she needed consulting since she asked if ive had a consultation before
Welp. I've learnt the hard way how easy it is to get scammed. Though I have the excuse that I used to be a kid on steam when it happened. I sure do make a few jokes about people when they suddenly DM me after months of radio silence and ask me "Could you do me a favor? Rate my game/ The game of my sister/cousin" and what not. But I think it's save to assume that quite literally everyone has fallen for traps before in their life. That's a thing you only really start to notice when you've had experience with it first hand.
a guy i played with a couple times got his steam account compromised and pretty much everything in his steam inventory this guy is some dude a different guy i met played with, which he also met in a game. we just decided to play a bit more one afternoon, i got a steam message from this guy, he's obviously panicking a little and is frantically looking for a solution i just guided him on what he can do with steam support, but after doing so i got curious, how did he compromise his steam account? this is what he told me - didn't download anything - didn't open any link/site But.... - found a "girl" on facebook - "girl" said she wants to trade items on steam - "girl" said there's problem with the trade on his side - "girl" asks for login credentials, and the guy gave it - "girl" asks to disable steam authenticator..... and he did it i could only laugh (it is only through steam message chat, so he never heard me laughing) i've only heard his voice a few times, pretty sure at the time he's just some teenager thinking with his "lower" head and i never followed up on his steam support, so idk if he ever got anything back another time, a friend (this one i know irl) opened an "image" file but he has "show file extensions" turned off on windows so he only saw the file ending with ".jpg", when it's actually ".jpg.exe", i guided him through the steam support process and he recovered his steam inventory in about 24h
mMaybe the reason I don't fall for scams, even when I used to play Runescape for multiple years, is because my motto is "Don't trust anyone, not even family"
one time there was this average steam scammer and i said "oh its a scam!" but then they got mad at me and said "fuck yuo" and im still sad to this day :(
recently, I've been cleaning recent videos of fake discord nitro/token generators, minecraft skyblock mods, etc. then I decompile and usually its a webhook so I just spam it
