***Official Political Discussion Thread***

That's probably the most pushback Chuck Todd has done on any Republican in years. :lol:

My girls friend just got got by an enterprising young scammer.


On IG, an attractive man slid into her DM's, kicked game to her for about 2-3 weeks.
it's going great, he wants to meet, he just wants to get vaccinated first.

but first he just needs some help with something.

he says "i got some money I wanna convert to bitcoin",
im gunna e-transfer 3k to you. just head down to the bitcoin ATM.
and convert the 3k to bitcoin and send it to my wallet.

she says cool no prob, she receives the 3k, withdraws the cash from the bank
heads down to the bitcoin ATM and sends him the money.


couple days later, an additional 3k gets taken from her account,
the banks says the 3k you withdrew was transferred from fraudulent accounts,
so we are are taking 3k back from you.

:lol:

this is all to say, Bitcoin has unleashed a golden age for scammers,
look at the rise in ransomware attacks...


at what point does the US government make it illegal to convert bitcoin to cash. or make it illegal for banks to hold bitcoin?

and at that point doesn't that instantly decimate the value of bitcoin?

Stop moralizing about scammers' fun
 
Tell dude to download coinbase app and convert it him damn self.

Red flags going crazy if I hear anything money related from Strangers.

file that transaction fraudulent with bank and report them
 
I just don't understand how it's 2021 and people are still being tricked by strangers regarding money.

apparently another version of this scam,
a fake employer hires you, gives you employment contract, but they say they pay in bitcoin so they need you to set up a bitcoin wallet.

they e-transfer you "a signing bonus" and tell you to withdraw it and send it to you bitcoin wallet address they've set up for you.

once you do it, you lose access to the wallet and your bank takes back the money withdrew from your account.
 
Yeah Ive gotten two female followers on twitter who DMed me sayig "hi where are you from" and both had the bitcoin hashtag in their bios.
Definitely a lot of scammers involved in that

This sounds sketchy too.
 
I want to feel bad for these people but scammers wouldn't exist in the first place if people didn't fall for scams. If it's too good to be true, it is. Don't trust anybody outside of your inner circle. Never deal with more money than you can afford to lose.

As for me, I have all my money in coal. Send me $3000 and I'll send you a bag of coal that I PROMISE will be worth $10k as soon as Trump gets back in office.
