- Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this? 2 days ago:
I’m going to outline this so everyone knows how this works in detail. There’s a number of comments talking about metadata, but this is remote check fraud.
The key dialogue is here:
"Okay the check will be written here then I’ll take picture of the check front and back then send it to you and you preview it on your laptop or iPad then you log in your bank app and take the snapshot to the provided space and you get the money"
Phase 1
- Fraudster sends an image of a check through e-mail
- You use your computer to view the check
- You then use your phone’s bank app to deposit the check
- Your bank is required by US Law to make up to $500 available immediately
Phase 2
- The fraudster makes an excuse of why they can’t do it any more or mentions that they over paid
- They ask you to send money through an untracable manner (Bitcoin, gift cards, etc)
- They may say something like you keep some for your effort or just lean on your kindness
- Your bank realizes that this check is fake or been used already
- You bank withdraws that amount from your account
This isn’t an unusual scam, but it’s technically illegal for you to deposit a picture of a check. You need the original.
Best to block and report them.

I tried to follow a link someone provided, but they wanted me to log in. Good for him doing the satire. Odd that he flaunts being a founder.

Satire or not?
At first, I thought it was seething with satire. Rich wife having an affair with trainer while her husband is married to his work.
And then you see something like 3x founder. WTF is that. So I go to the website think it’ll be a joke website like Passive Income guy. Nope!
This shit is real. And this dude is the CEO.

“She pushed on my hips, an order that thrust me in. I entered her. Not only my prick, but the whole of me entered her, into her guts, into her darkness, eyes wide open, seeing nothing. My whole body had gone inside her. I went in with her thrusts and stayed still. While I got used to the quiet and the pulsing of my blood in my ears and nose, she pushed me out a little, then in again. She did it again and again, holding me with force and moving me to the rhythm of the surf. She wiggled her breasts beneath my hands and intensified the pushing. I went in up to my groin and came out almost entirely. My body was her gearstick.”

“Mr. Peanut was described by Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times as “a dark, dazzling and deeply flawed novel that announces the debut of an enormously talented writer”. It was named one of the best books of the year by The New Yorker, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The New Republic, and The Economist.”

I think in this case it’s colorism which predates racism and may go back to the caste system in the case of India. In many cases, colorism can be how internal racism is expressed, but Modi is hyper patriotic and loves a particularly conservative form of being Indian.

The only reason we can tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans now is because the Republicans finally changed into the demon they’ve always courted. The Dems are the same as they ever were. The Dems, more out of touch than ever, would produced the same legislation updated with some Obama era metrics. I don’t know who you think the Democrats are, but they aren’t different today.
- Comment on Teachers deserve more money. 2 months ago:
The bill was co-authored and championed by Senator Ted Kennedy, a stalwark Democratic, and Representative George Miller (D-CA). It passed the Senate 91–8 and the House 381–41. Just because it was passed during the Bush administration doesn’t mean it was Republican initiative.
Many small government libertarians and conservatives hated the NCLB because they saw it as government overreaching.
Charter schools are legislately introduced in the Obama era bill, Race to the Top, along with common core standards being tied to funding.

This is good, but it would have been nice if the symbols were more consistent. Like Volt gets a lightning bolt on her thigh… Cool. Ohm, while the sexiest in my opinion, gets an Ω on her shirt. So the under boob is great, but it’s really that smile. Finally, Amp. What going on here? Those ruddy cheeks are awesome. The rope is pretty cool too even if it’s not my thing. But where’s her symbol? I don’t particularly want to imagine a scarlet letter A.
Honestly, the inconsistency was a bit turn off.
Well… If you made it this far and think I’m missing the point, I hope you now realize I’m just taking the piss.
