I’m a long time open networker. What that means is I follow back, but I don’t make small talk with strangers in my DMs.

Quick list of suggestions for uncovering a low effort scammer.

1. A follow from a new account with no posts… during this time of lots of new people joining this is not a reliable test.

2. A DM from that same account - usually a hello with no real effort in it.

This is a beautiful movie. We watched it last night, and there were times it felt like a beautifully shot period piece and times it felt like a full horror movie always with an amazing soundtrack/score.

See this appropriately R rated film in theaters if you can.
The night belongs to sinners. #SinnersMovie only in theaters April 18.

About 90 people have died in airplane incidents since our puppet President started intentionally destroying the government with his bestie,who also ruins companies as a hobby.
That’s more than Reagan managed to kill when he fired all the air traffic controllers in 1981.

Looking Back On When President Reagan Fired The Air Traffic Controllers
Thursday marks 40 years since former President Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 striking air traffic controllers. That dealt a serious blow to the American labor movement.

I made a thing, as a request for a friend.
Did I mention we live in New Orleans?

The kindest thing I can say about crypto is it’s a scam.

@joehenley.bsky.social

Why are you still DMing me?

We are still fucking strangers.

If you want to talk, here is the place to do it.
January 22, 2025 at 2:17 AM
Another scammer sad that I proved we are not friends because he knows nothing about me.

This is how we talk publicly.

Not in DMs.

Public.

So this conservative person doesn’t understand consent. He’s liked multiple of my posts about people acting like scammers… and me not going to other places with scammers.

Maybe, he’ll like this one, too.

@jaydoham.bsky.social
He’s on Telegram at @jaydoham

This is what my messages look like…

Lots of deleted accounts.

When I screenshot and post about accounts, I also report them.

So… Gerard Butler blocked me after I pointed out he was scammy.
@gerar365.bsky.social
Yeah… he was pretending to be the actor

@plagiarismtoday.com and @crystal-r.bsky.social made it so I could have Pandan king cake and it is the highlight of my season. :)

Ya know… scammers would not get screenshots posted if they read my pinned post before following me.
January 13, 2025 at 12:20 AM
So… fake Interpol is on here (again) trying to find people who have already been scammed to do a recovery scam on them.

It’s disgusting.

For anyone who is contacted by someone saying they are some kind of law enforcement. Look at their account name.

a fake Interpol agent reaching out to people claiming to help.

This is almost definitely a recovery scam. As always let me know if you have any questions about scammers, their tactics, and goals.

Mostly Finnish. German or Maths when I am in a hurry or need points.

A new-ish to me scam… like I hear about them, but they never come to me. A cashapp blessing scammer.

They ask for information to give you money that you didn’t ask for.

And the third scammer that was harassing me at the same time. This one used a stolen profile picture - I confirmed it with a reverse image search and gave me his gmail address when he wanted to move to Google chat.
