Between vitamins and kirby vacuums i might be well versed in spotting scams lately. Even the one that got my roommate afraid of jail for a scheme involving a fake minor profile. Is it a paranoid schizophrenic superpower or does it mean i might get baker acted again soon?

I have supersensitive scam and cheat detection mechanisms.
But then when I start to feel better and more human I believed an excellent scammer. These guys work at it 10 hours a day instead of getting a job.
So back trustno1 to for another decade.
The tenent who lives in the studio on the side of the house just got a job in alaska supposedly making 8000 a month. I called scam on this too even though he seems to have flown good enough without problems today. Well see maybe im being paranoid
I’ve encountered people trying to get me to give them my personal information on the phone by saying I had won a trip and they would pay most of the cost, but I had to chip in a little. I hung up on them. I’m sure that was a scam.

kirby? i interviewed with them, sat through their day one of their “training” and left faster than a zebra with a lion on my tail. Classic pyramid scheme. Shakes head
Also, there were a few actual pyramid schemes based in insurance sales that I ran from. As soon as I heard, “reference, get lots of references” and I was like uh bye.
I get ghost-friended on facebook a lot, though, so I’m not always that good at catching some con artists (i.e. a “puppet profile”).
Facebook is weird, though. They’d freeze the chat function between myself and the puppet profile (confirming my suspicions that they were usurpers), then block all messages from sight and replace them with a big bold text box that says “This user’s account is suspended pending verification of their identity”. That would be the end of it…until the next puppet profile would message me and friend me. spooky, gotta learn how to spot these puppet profiles better.
