These are some of the top scams. There are bottom feeders, out there, plying romance scams in the gaming world as well. Stay safe, keep your kids safe, always put in those parental controls if you gamers are the young members in the household.
Not monitoring gaming is the same as leaving your windows and doors wide open, for anyone to enter.
I keep track of the Catfish YouTube Channel and the goings-on in the romance/BitCoin etc. scammer world. The incredible number of people falling victim to scams, primarily online is, frankly, scary.
And after the scam? There is, virtually, nothing that can be done to recover funds, reputation and sense of worth. These garbage wastes of skin move on to new scams, to new victims and it is ESSENTIAL to understand that there is no guilt, no remorse. I often see victims as “How can they live with themselves?!” Quite easily has they do not possess the necessary brain cells operate their daily lives with any sort of integrity.
But, it isn’t just the scammers themselves, it is the passing of judgment of strangers online, family and friends. “How could you (they) be so stupid/gullible?!” Obviously, there are other things going on, loneliness is the primary characteristic although mental illness, dementia and Alzheimer’s are also a factor in some of the cases. It is just so easy to stand back, criticize and ridicule these victims but not so easy to reverse that mirror and look at ourselves. What is missing in our own psyche that makes laughing at these victims so easy to do?
Perhaps instead of being total assholes, sharing information on the avoidance of scammers/fraudsters would be of a lot more assistance than taunts and insults.
I’ve been on social media since before it became known as “social media”; I’ve had romance DMs from the likes of Keanu Reeves, Elon Musk, various C&W musicians (even though I am and have always been a metalhead with an intense dislike for C&W), Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington…poor guys are so lonely and love my profile…🤣🤣🤣. I am fortunate, I have good mental health, I have a sense of self and I am not lonely. I know I am fortunate. It breaks my heart that so many people are not. Most of the scam victims are older, not all but most. Some are desperately lonely, obviously naive and not particularly savvy when it comes to online scammers. They need help, support and a little human caring, not criticism from pompous online keyboard warriors.
I didn’t listen to Brad, don’t be like me…(That is NOT me in the video…)
I made a BIG MISTAKE on Monday. My roots had grown and it was very noticeable. I decided I needed to change my colour choice, it was Pearl Blonde, except with the effects of a vacation to Cuba, so sea water, sun and then chlorine, there and our own pool (salt water), the hair was all sorts of blonde, grey, dark blonde (natural colour). I didn’t like it much. So? I decided to do what I have done a bajillion times over the decades, something Brad doesn’t like, home box-colour/ bleach. 😱😱 And did I do a skin test? Noooo….that would have been too smart…
It did not go well. First? I have this orangey brass tint on the top of my head and down to, about the top of ear level, then a number of very blonde/platinum shades and the hair is FRIED.
Pretty bad and dumb, right? Oh hang on…I have never had an allergic reaction to hair colour or tattoos (there is a connection, by the way)…..until now.
OMG. My head and face, developed hives after I showered the product out. My usual shampoo. Then my head started to itch, felt like a thousand mosquitoes had bitten and then bitten again. I knew what it was, I have a plethora of allergies and always felt fortunate that my hair colour products weren’t on the list.
Grabbed some Benadryl and “prayed”…yeah, didn’t work – itching continued. Well…my entire head is covered in (ewwww 🤮) scabs. The reaction points are actually weeping. It is beyond gross, depressing and scream inducing. I am now afraid to wash my hair, in case it starts to break off or even worse, fall out. I want to go hide out in my closet with my blankie and never come out.
I am a loyal subscriber to Brad’s social media channels. He’s awesome and so knows his products/applications etc. But? I didn’t listen, I saw the boxes, saw the manufacturer and love won out over common sense and listening to the expert.
Quote from the article: “The statements are false, defamatory and “extremely salacious,” Melania Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote in a letter to Biden. Biden’s remarks were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world, causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” he wrote.”
Lawsuit is, a REALLY bad idea there, Melania. Perhaps if there weren’t so many nekkid and salacious photos of you, readily available, your whole “damaged reputation” might hold some weight but there are and so there’s that.
Oh and then there’s the Einstein visa entry; yeah, pretty sure nobody believes that one, and it could well come up in discovery and as a way of establishing truthfulness. I think if it is proven to be a false entry admission…doesn’t look good for you, regarding your veracity.
IMO, there’s an awful lot of folks out there not holding the best opinion of you and the whole adultery thing (Marla was his legal wife). The tasteless photos, the photos of you and Diaper Don, with Epstein, don’t really bolster your case.
Discovery will be a real popcorn moment for all of us; looking forward to it.
Most of the time I just chuckle and block but I just felt like sharing these dung beetles…
Anthony Wilson doesn’t mess about…goes straight to “Cash App”.
2. Gregory wants to be my Sugar Daddy; old script, see Fred below.
3. Old Fred is following a really old script, kind of sad and pathetic, really…
4. Saving the best for last – Bryan; poor Bryan, must be a newbie, he forgot a REALLY important detail. Let’s see if you can find where Bryan buggered up his pitch…🤣🤣
CIA – Ewen Cameron; government sanctioned destruction of lives.
If you weren’t aware of the facts, this could be a brutal Sci-Fi or spy movie horror film. Ewen Cameron and the Allan Memorial.
This is personal. Ewen Cameron, flatly refuse to call him “Doctor”, ran mind control experiments at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montréal funded by the American CIA. Experiments on innocent subjects, suffering from mental illness. Torture. Ewen Cameron and the Allan Memorial practice government, both American and Canadian sanctioned torture on the innocent. They destroyed my cousin David Brown’s life. Left him to live as a shut-in, supported throughout his life by my aunt, Livinia, (Aunt Liv).
He was a kind, sweet man. Another member of my family who always encouraged me to read, giving me books whenever we went by to visit. He was also, brilliant and creative. Before Cameron and MK-Ultra got the murderous claws into him, he had attended Sir George Williams University. He wrote. He was published. He had plans. He had a life. And that was taken away, totally and completely by these criminals.
David had a nervous breakdown in his mid-twenties. The family believe it was because he knew he was gay and in that time frame, it was totally unacceptable, it was believed by the MEDICAL community to be a mental illness. He ended up having a breakdown and the “doctors” recommended the Allan. The day he was admitted was the end of his life, his potential and decades of heartbreak for his mother. She was consumed with guilt, the guilt only a mother can feel; deep, soul destroying, black hole type of guilt.
When the news came out, about MK-Ultra and thereafter when financial settlements were being discussed, my Dad spoke to Aunt Liv about the compensation. She refused, her reason was, that no amount of money would give David back his life; that it was nothing more than blood money.
David died, shut in his room, the only place he felt safe, at the age of 46. He was, for all intents and purposes, murdered by Ewen Cameron, the CIA and both governments, American and Canadian. David was not alone. Justice? Never. Most of the victims are dead. Trust in the government, trust in the medical system? That died with David, on July 1st, 1982. Ironically, Canada Day.
