SCAMMER ALERT!

Guys, Watchout from this account named @misuillustrates.bsky.social or known as @reyascorner on X. She is a scammer and she scammed 30+ people and I have collected most of it on this following doc

She tried to hide her identity by rebranding her account

Scammers used OpenAI to flood the web with SEO spam (obviously be on the lookout for this bullshit in any sector you can think of, as tons of people will be doing it, especially now)

#ReaderBeware #PSA Please note: the same people behind Unbound Publishing, who haven't paid authors or fulfilled publishing obligations towards readers who funded specific books, are now behind the "new" Boundless venture.

(Because bankruptcy laws in the U.K. let them do this with impunity and ad infinitum)

Ohhh.

"These findings suggest that companies may benefit from shifting their marketing efforts and product development towards consumers with lower AI literacy. Additionally, efforts to demystify AI may inadvertently reduce its appeal, indicating that maintaining an aura of magic around AI could be beneficial for adoption."

The system prompt apparently did not prevent the model from saying the quiet part out loud

Your data is being sold online to third parties who also profit by selling to other third parties.

Eventually that data ends up in the hands of scammers.

lol. #PayPal has been sending emails from #scammers on their behalf for 2+ years now? Full SPF/DKIM authentication? Any email from “service@paypal.com” is suspect. All links are valid. But be sure to call the number and talk to your scammer today!

I am now vaguely curious about what drives the 'Influencer on LinkedIn' algorithm when it suggested the account of a #fraudulent account, a #pigbutchering #scammer... and indeed how the #scammers are working the algorithm...
(not that I give them any weighting - indeed < 0 now)

Sigo recibiendo llamadas de los scammers.

Se desesperan por tener mi Información Personal.

Las únicas llamadas que yo recibo son las de mis contactos.

Cada llamada que entra que son los scammers los reporto como spam y los bloqueo.

Pero siento que estoy haciendo muy poco para prevenir que estás llamadas sigan entrando.

¿Que más puedo hacer?

Honey, it's part of he PayPal Mafia. Don't touch them with a ten foot poll

Beware: #Romance #scammers now appear to be targeting the older #LGBT community as well as the middle aged cis men they normally go for.

I don't know what sort of social networks/media older lesbian women in Scotland hang out on, but even though Scotland is progressive many of that generation aren't openly out and proud on mainstream social networks, so there may have been an element of #cyberstalking even in a supposed "safe place" to target her..

FTC warns of online task job #scams hooking victims like gambling

#Scammers are reaching to users on social media to entice them into an easy way to make money - via completing small tasks to earn a commission. Eventually the scammers ask the target to deposit their own money in order to get their commission; naturally, they steal the victim's money without paying any sort of commission.

Remember: anything that sounds too good to be true on the internet, usually is. Be wary of unsolicited invites/chats to download/use a "new" platform in general. Avoid clicking unsolicited links.
