Stop Clicking Scam Ads and Stop Typing Amen

Can people be more stupid? All these type Amen things. The latest is a check for $2,00,000 if you type Amen. Almost a million responses to this crap. I mean, after you typed Amen 7,534 times and literally fuck all happened, how do you not get this and just keep doing it. It's like a person that keeps touching an electric fence thinking one of these times it will feel good.

It's the same mentality of the people who think they are going to get Microsoft office for the rest of their life, complete with the 1TB of could storage for $29.95 and then give a credit card number to some random scammer on Facebook. There is a reason that half the things you see on there are scam advertisements.

It never ceases to amaze me that people I thought where intelligent fall for scams on the internet. I'm not talking about chatting with someone who is super smooth that will end up ripping you off after 2 months of chats, and gaining your trust. I'm talking about oh that sounds like a great idea, let's click that link right now.

I saw one the other day that was for "app testers" on Facebook. Like right, I'm installing some random app on my phone and playing with it to supposedly get paid. I'm sure it's not just a malicious app, that will key log my password to my online banking account, or copy my saved payment information. FFS.

And some people just keep falling for stuff. Time and time again they get ripped off and I'm amazed they don't ever get it and stop clicking everything.

The old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted" is so very freaking true.

    Facebook has one that keeps coming up with a different user name each time, and that alone is proof FB does not give a shit what people advertise. It says it's going to get you $40,000 from the Government of Canada for your disability, and your family members the same amount. Here is the kicker, they want you to literally send them $4,000 (10%) in advance to do the paperwork for you, claiming it's a "hidden fund". Literally thousands have fallen for this shit. It pops up about once a month, and has been for 2 years now. Sigh.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
