Is there really a difference if the money goes to crypto guys or some GOP PAC? They are both scammers from the word go.
And as scammers prefer to target the most gullible idiots, they already have a perfect target group for their “business” with the MAGA brains.
The money going to crypto guys has less negative impact and might even help some 3rd world north Koreans actually afford food. Any money going to the GOP only brings pain and suffering.
Yes, crypto guys aren’t interested in using the money to help the US become a fascist hellscape.
Either way it’s going to organized crime. At least the crypto scammers are unlikely to influence the election!
They’ll claim the Deep State got them
Turns out they were part of the derp state all along
Oh no! Anyway
Not sure whether “let them fight” or “spidermen pointing” meme is more appropriate
I’d pick spidermen
It’s a plus if trump’s supporters are scammed before he can fleece them, let the convicted felons well dry up while other scammers get rich.
It’s like the people that unwittingly signed up for recurring donations to Trump’s campaign and are suddenly finding their bank accounts drained. Hard to feel sorry for these chumps.
A fool and their money…
And donate to a left leaning charity? Chaotic good
Nah, just targeting the low hanging fruit in a get rich quick scheme. I’m not crying though.
Scammers usually try to target 🎯 gullible people like old people. Usually people who don’t understand what’s going on.
I’d love to see a study on the religiosity, political affiliation, education, wealth, career, and age of people who get scammed and the types of scams they fell for.
What a weird ❓ way to use emoji 😁
Yeah I don’t know why people do that.
I just removed that in my Google Messages app today. And just now in SwiftKey. I guess it came packaged in an update. It’s annoying, I never asked for it, just one day it started suggesting them in the autocorrect. Dumb.
iirc some phone keyboards autosuggest emoji when you type a word, op probably just didn’t bother to remove it
Yep, 👍 mine 🫵 does that. Don’t 🚫 know 🧠 why ❓ anyone would use it as it’s stupid

I have had the misfortune of Mixing shows for Newsmax…that is literally their stick
Their shtick?
Well I wasn’t smart enough to say no to working for that god awful place briefly… I’m certainly not smart enough to spel gud
Them beating you in the head with their stick probably didn’t help.
Not at all… ha
Their schtick.
I thought so too, and schtick is a valid variant, but dictionaries list shtick first.
Yeah, both are correct in English.
If you’re gonna type out target, why the emoji?
MAGA Supporters would be reading it 🤣
Credulous as well. Conspiracy theory and aliens magazines used to have tons of ads for scams.
I’ll allow it.
I work in the anti-crypto scam industry. I applaud their efforts. Ethical fuckery.
That’s an industry now? What do you guys do?
Quite a lot, actually. This is really a summation and not comprehensive.
- Evaluate an environment after incident:
-
- looking for IOCs, determine spread
-
- Determine backup status and restore if possible
-
- Return environment to healthy state (AD restore, replication, networking, etc.,)
-
- Lockdown of security holes
-
- Advise on best practices going forward
- Decrypt environment if client pays ransom
etc., etc.
Depending on the complexity of the environment, this can take a lot of time and effort: much bigger than most internal teams are capable of doing. A client I had in Feb-Mar lasted a total of 3200 hours of work between 12 people on my team across 34 locations to unfuck the situation.
That’s… an industry?
See my comment in a parallel conversation to this.
Cultists are easy to swindle.
The less money on them, the better!
