This log we’re living in now we need to be very careful, because the scammers are full everywhere now and they’ve difference way of scammers people’s, as it happened to you the same thing also happened to me last week ago I received one call from unknown person trying to deceive his saying it deceive me, but as I prove to him that I also smart he didn’t waste much of his time with he just ended his called.

The scammers are always creating a way to scam’s people once they see they’ve know their ways they will try to change Ann into another difference way that none can know their private, there unaware that as they think they smart there’s more people’s who smart more them their smartest.

I know that for a fact because I made that up completely. 84% of all statistics are completely made up on the spot. Um. I do not see any relation between being socially awkward and being prone to falling for scams even romance scams. But it is funny when a married person falls for a romance scam, so I bet that a lot of them do. After all, nothing drives adultery like a nagging grumpy mean spouse; and most people are dipshits so yeah, married people will fall for romance scams.

How could you even know that? I mean, anyone who is single and gullible enough could be prone to fall for those types of scams, specially if they have certain characteristics, like being socially awkward when in front of other people. Besides, in the end scammers do not care whether one is already married or not, then go for one's money regardless.
If you have some credible scientific study or actual survey on people who fall for those scams and what percentage of them are married, then it would be very productive from you if you shared it with all of us. Instead of implying people who are scammed deserve to be scammed.

The people who fall for those romance scams are most likely married. They deserve to lose everything.

It is not only about people falling for webpages and other shady businesses which alledgedly can help them to make money quick. There are also other kind of scams which are even worse, like romance scams and pig butchering scams. Those scams require the scammer to psychologically manipulate their victim in the mid and long term for them to pull off as much money as possible from them, before ghosting them.
To me, it is even worse than the usual investment scam, because those who are victims in this case are not even greedy over money, but rather believe to have found someone special to meet on the internet.

People scam out of desperation and people also get scammed out of desperation too, take a second to think about what I just said. Scammers are lazy people that actually put in a lot of effort unknowingly to them to make money quick. Scamming takes a lot of effort and brain work, most of them go through a lot of sleepless nights just to scam people, if they can have the consistency to do all that why can't they do a legal business?. Those that get scammed on the other hand are always being deceived by a get Rich quick scheme due to greed and all of that. It's not hard to spot scammers, any platform that shows you how to make an enormous amount of money within a few days and tells you to invest is obviously a scam.

There are soamy scams because;
1. There are many greedy people who wants to be so rich overnight, they get scammed.
2. There are many lazy people who doesn't want to do much but to scam people.
3. There is another set of people who are ignorant of scammers and their antics.
4. Scam is hardly moderated, even in this forum.
5. Because even the government is scamming us.
6. Because scam is part of the cryptocurrency industry.

Why are there so many scams?


Because the Deep State has spent decades training people through television shows and movies to remain stupid. Scammers thank the Deep State. Even when they are scammed by the Deep Sate, they are still thankful, because they are learning new techniques.

Russia is different.


Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church condemns Western gender transitions as ‘Apocalyptic’

In a fiery televised interview on Orthodox Christmas, Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, denounced the West’s acceptance of gender transitions as a harbinger of moral collapse, declaring that such practices “smell of apocalypse.”

Speaking from the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, Kirill framed Russia as a bulwark against what he described as the West’s abandonment of faith and moral principles, positioning the nation as a spiritual counterweight to Western secularism.

The patriarch’s remarks come amid a broader cultural and political campaign by the Russian government to position itself as a defender of traditional values, in stark contrast to what it portrays as the moral decay of Western societies.

A spiritual battle against western ‘moral decay’

Patriarch Kirill’s critique of the West focused heavily on the normalization of gender transitions, which he described as a violation of divine law. “What is happening there smells of apocalypse,” he said, referring to Western nations. “This is against God’s law, and it will never be accepted in Russia as long as we remain faithful to our millennia-old cultural and spiritual heritage.”

The patriarch’s remarks reflect a broader narrative within Russia that frames the country as a guardian of traditional Christian values. He contrasted Russia’s spiritual vitality with what he portrayed as the decline of faith in the West. “They are astonished that we are building churches – 400 in Moscow alone,” Kirill said.

“In the West, churches are being repurposed, in the best case into mosques, and in the worst case into entertainment venues.”

This rhetoric aligns with the Kremlin’s long-standing efforts to position Russia as a global leader in the defense of conservative values. In recent years, the Russian government has enacted a series of laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights, including a 2013 ban on “gay propaganda” and, more recently, sweeping restrictions on gender reassignment procedures.

Russia’s legislative crackdown on gender transitions

In July 2023, Russia introduced legislation that effectively banned medical gender transitions, except in cases involving birth abnormalities. The law, which was framed as a measure to protect children from the “transgender industry,” prohibits individuals from changing their gender on official documents and outlaws most medical interventions related to gender reassignment.

The rate and level of fraud and scam activity recently is so alarming and disturbing one  can hardly know which is legit or not from all the signals you are getting.
Investments when it comes to crypto should be thoroughly scrutinized before venturing into it because the level of scam levels are on the high side

Scammers are always lookout for new victims. But unfortunately, due to lack of basic knowledge, many people fall into this trap. One of the things you can do to avoid this type of trap is not to click on random links and to carefully observe the sites for any work before entering . There are many cases of hacking through phishing sites. Do not fall for any unknown call or anything suspicious. For the sake of security, the awareness of gamblers will get the highest priority. It is better not to share your personal information online. Scammers usually extract personal information from various sites and attack accordingly. Although I did not suffer financially from the scammers' attack, I was attacked and I got rid of it by taking the right decision at the right time.

I don't think scammers will ever stop scamming and likewise hackers too. They seem to keep evolving in their criminal tactics everyday developing new technologies to tweak the systems of their victims while the developers of these platforms also continue to improve their security architecture. Imagine even with the invention of the two-factor verification, hackers and spammers have equally developed deceptive systems to tweak those things. They've developed recaptchas to lure their victims into their phishing systems and so on. That's a development sort of in the world of scamming hence the need for companies to keep working with white-hart hackers who will protect their system and that if their users.

As for the scamming calls, I use the Truecaller application so frequently as I've subscribed for the premium version. The premium version assist me to not only display the names of callers automatically but also assist me in detecting scammers. I've also activated the automatic scammers blocking feature where numbers that have oftentimes reported by several users are blacklisted and calls from such numbers go into silence automatically.

I doubt if someone who is engaged with a meaningful job or job with a good paying salary will option into scamming others, from what I have observed from this side of country is that,  increasing unemployment rate equalls increasing scams,  people don't have what they're doing for a job,  now some of the. will find a way to want to survive, hence some will  tend to do all sorts of things to and scamming has seem to them the most short cut to wealth.

In today's technology-dependent world, scam calls have become very common and the fraudsters' tricks are getting better and better day by day. Scammers send missed calls to millions of people at a time. Some of them return these calls. The scammer then takes all the information from that person's phone. In this way, they carry out such fraudulent activities by hacking emails, messages and Facebook. Scammers also deceive ordinary people by threatening or luring them or stealing information. Therefore, to avoid scammers, you must not click on unknown links. You must be careful or cautious when receiving calls from unknown numbers. You must not give your password or personal information to anyone and delete any messages or emails that seem suspicious.

scams will never cease to exist most expecially at this festive season when a lot of people are looking for money in a cheap way and trying to see who will fall victims so they can extort them. I've heard my fair share of almost getting scammed through phone calls and in some p2p stuff I have tried to run but luckily, I've not fallen victim to any of them and I have learnt alot of lessons which has made me strong to some extent that I can say it's going to be deficult for me to be scammed again.

Just set all your security measures in place and ensure you're careful as much as you can so you can be sure you've at least done your part and the possibility of getting scammed will be reduced drastically. On and off the forum, scammers are in their numbers but you just have to be on your guide never to be the victim.

The scammers are finding every means in doing this  most people fall for them because they are desperate to make quick Money they always finding every short cut to make money instead of working on their self, I have been scam before sometimes this people come in divers ways I was scam on a social media platform Facebook I never knew a friend of mine account has been hacked so all my thoughts was that I was chatting with my friend some one I know very well but I never knew he wasn't the one operating on the account so he told me about a fast paying platform that himself is a beneficial to it that if I invest $10 now in a week time in will receive $20 I never knew that are scammers that was how my money went off like that so many things is happening we should yet pray that we never fall victim but as for me now I don't think I can be scamed again because I have know all their strategies.

Thank you for your suggestion! I installed a caller ID app a few days ago. I hope it's useful, because sometimes I'm afraid I'll miss a call from my delivery service. Haha.

You're right, I almost don't answer unknown phone numbers now.
