That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.
Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam?
lordnikon@lemmy.world 1 month agoHonestly people that do recognize it for what it is should respond. Keep them talking to waste their time so they can’t hurt someone else.

I had one Indian scammer use my name so I was interested. Then he asked if my email was still current and gave an email that I used like 20 years ago in middle school. I laughed and told him he paid for shitty info. It was a goddamn Hotmail account to give you an idea.

Their time is worthless, they use slave labor.

And if you can get them to do stupid things, you can post about it here!

But then you’re also wasting your own time.

If we all wasted 5 minutes we could shut down the system.
People really underestimate the power of collective action. It’s just meat based ddos.

What a fascinating sentence.

I mean if “everyone” collective action ignored them together, no one would have to waste time ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But yes I understand it of course, protecting the weak is not a bad thing.

you mean, everyone who already knows it’s a scam or can recognize that it probably is. which is not everyone. otherwise the whole thing wouldn’t exist.

Maybe. That gets expensive very fast. We should all ask for artwork.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. I always love talking to Indian scammers when they call about my student loans that don’t exist.
