Another day, another scammer.
Yesterday morning I had a friend request. I wasn’t sure I knew the gentleman, but he was a friend of an old railway colleague of mine, so it was possible we had crossed paths. In one of my HQ roles I met lots of people who may have remembered me and this one looked as if it could have been one of them given who was showing up as a mutual friend. While I normally ignore request from strangers, I accepted, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Within minutes he had messaged me trying to get me to claim thousands of dollars in government grants gifted to random people… Which of course is what governments do – give out free money to random people on the Internet.
You get the gist. Of course I signed up there and then. Ahem… Oh, no, that’s right, I reported it as a fake profile…
He gave up after this. Clearly I wasn’t a suitable mark. Which, of course, hits at the logic of the grifter – you can’t con an honest man. Which, mostly, is true. Certainly so with this kind of scam as they rely on someone thinking they are getting something for nothing.
I had this on FB but the guy was so incompetent they not only duplicated an existing friend but one who happened to have died earlier in the year. Just deleted it. Amazing that anyone would fall for it…
As you can see, this one wasn’t much better. It provided a couple of moments of mild amusement before I zapped him.
So, am I to assume that the US government don’t give free money to people chosen at random in the UK? Well that’s just wierd, I thought that they did that all the time.
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? Even when I told this twat I was in the UK he seemed to think I was stupid enough to think that was the case.
These scammers pale into insignificance when compared to:
Blair, Cameron, Darling, Greensill, Hancock, Hoon, Madleson etc fleecing taxpayers out of £ Billions
Over in USA lefties love hitting taxpayers too:

This is how large and sophisticated some of these scams are. 23 minutes but worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrKW58MS12g

’ Certainly so with this kind of scam as they rely on someone thinking they are getting something for nothing.’
Just as with county lines mules, but instead of scorning them for their greed, we’re supposed to regard them as ‘groomed children’.. ?
Sometimes they end up doing time. Other countries don’t fall for it.
On a related note, I watched a half hour programme about people who had allowed their bank accounts to be used for money laundering. Now who, in their right mind hands over their debit cards and PINs to a complete stranger on a promise of free money? The three people interviewed all realised too late that they had been idiots, but at the time they were lured by the free money and that exposes their mindset.
