Thanks, Jake for the recommendation.

Freedom on like stems from walk away
You gotta hold your time
You gotta hit him with the right of way
Maybe black too far for any like the one seen
In a way it’s sane, either way it’s gotta mean

I’m so tired of scammers. They are never-ending and the audacity is just mind-blowing. And people wonder why I have trust issues. LOL.

The latest scam, a random account will slide into my DM, posing as an artist or commissioner who is inspired by my profile pic or a photo that I’ve posted. The scammer will then butter me up and offer to compensate me for the “rights” to my image. They’ll insist on paying via check and when the check clears initially, they’ll hit me with an urgent request saying that they need cash for art supplies, shipping fees, etc. They’ll ask to send a portion of the money back through Zelle or Venmo, Western Union, or Bitcoin. They will promise to reimburse me later and send another check. But days later, the check bounces cause it’s counterfeit, stolen, or from a closed account. The bank will reverse the deposit, leaving me overdrawn by the full amount.

I was bored and entertained the scammer till I got annoyed. IDK if I have the bandwidth to out-scam a scammer.

    Your welcome and scammers and catfishers are easy to spot. Most of the ones who go after me are the honeypot type. They’ll show you a pic of some OF or Instagram model, dating app pic, etc..all the images are to staged in the first place. I have gotten ones for artwork as well for avatars.
    Reverse image lookup with AI has gotten so good that nearly all images already out there can be sourced to the originals.

    When I have the time, I like to waste the scammer’s time. Which can be somewhat entertaining.

    But lately I don’t have the time…

    1. justrojie Avatar

      they’re so lucky you don’t have time for their shenanigans!

    I hate scammers too. They suck! They are all over Twitter, that is why I never add them as friends because they always want money, which is crap. So yes scammers suck.
