Don’t Scam Anyone

 

Welcome to the first Sunday of the year 2024. It’s all white in Canada and quite cold here.

Anyway, enjoy what life has to offer without a grudge and with a heart of gratitude.
That reminds me, has anyone noticed that there are now a billion online businesses being advertised on social media by various people?
The most annoying part is that 97% are not legit and are scams.
How do you want to get someone an online job and you are requesting a certain amount?
During the week, I went practically overboard and chatted with one or two people under the pretext of looking for a job or starting an online business.
Most of them would prefer you get committed financially ranging from $149 to $10,000 before they would explain what the job entails.
If a job is legit and not some kind of scam why make it look weird and not answer required questions except to hammer on payment?
I have a few samples that I screenshot. Almost everyone wants a side hustle and if I have $10,000 sitting in my account somewhere, wouldn’t it be nice if I think of a thriving business rather than be scammed online?
Maybe, it was one of them trying to hack my Facebook account yesterday by requesting a certain code, thank God for tightening security features and notifications that prevented them from accessing my account.
Most of these scammers are on Facebook, they cut across all races and funny enough Some Nigerians are involved too.
I don’t want to be scammed and would rather trust my intuition and my late mother used to say that only greedy people get swindled.
Naturally, most people want to make extra income, especially with the global rising cost of living which is not even helped by the way some nouveau-rich debase currency at parties and clubhouses.
Some people may need to jump the gun because they just cannot wait for their time.
Hey, they do have some secret groups on social media that only the recruiter’s name gives access to. Anyway, I come in peace.
Here are the screenshots of the various conversations.

Whatever you do, don’t be scammed and don’t scam anyone.
See you next week
