Fake accounts
Got a message today from what I assume is a fake account. I've looked through the FAQ and the Terms sections. But I don't see any buttons or links for reporting scam accounts.Could someone point me in the right direction?
Got something to say?

shadowcat pretty much nailed the way to handle it. Ignore them unless it was a major issue (i.e. illegal) and then contact @founder if it was too bad.
trying to fix it

They only need one response out of 100 million, emails don’t cost anything remember.
It's a multi BILLION dollar industry in Israel and conducted by seemingly legitimate investment companies with luxury office space and "sales" teams. It's so sophisticated they have online recruiters to attract more employees to do the scamming, with full training available. She goes on an in-person job interview and gets offered employment with one of them, using a hidden camera and audio. It's really fascinating.
The show is free on demand if you have Nat Geo channel or you can watch it here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/sh… Also on Amazon Prime for a couple bucks if you can't stand the commercials.
Email, text, and old school dialing for dollars scams have all become cost effective. Cell service allows internet access - and voip allows for highly disguised call identities. If you add the aging American population - who are lonely - and 401k accounts - it’s a great set of potential targets.
I am a banker, and we have yearly training to detect aging customers who may be suffering from scams. I never deal with civilian customers - but I sit through the training on scams every year. It is sad, as folks generally believe people are good. That’s not the case anymore - when you get an email or call about a cash windfall.
A quick story about a stripper who was scammed. A dancer who I know - and who needed money - saw a scam and thought it was a good investment. It was an Instagram scam where you send money at western union - and through exploiting a banking glitch - they then add a 0 or 00 to the amount of your transfer. The dancer sent $1000 - and never saw it again. She then got mad and texted me - as I’m a banker - and I should be able to get her money back - or at least help to get this scam shut down. It was a long talk - and I tried to gently explain that using an illegal way to exploit the money transfer process was not going to work as a basis for an investigation. I met the dancer itc and we had a good chat while my pants were hung over a hook - and she rode me. I found it satisfying...
But most scammers are hairless apes that just want to separate even stupider apes from their cash. They care not for the lulz. Kind of sad. That really makes me want to... ROAR!!!
BBBC is clearly a sad little hairless ape with a tiny wee-wee that has fallen for my bud dugan. Now I understand falling for the dugan. He is the smartest hairless ape on the planet. But the “BBBC” poster needs to know that he ain’t gettin’ a rick. Sad really 😢
As for Skifredo, it is now well established that he is a homeless crab 🦀 with brain damage preventing to be an unsuccessful divorce lawyer that went to the worst law school in the country. Why does he think pretending to be an unsuccessful lawyer educated at the worse school in the country is cool? It doesn’t take a rick brain to see that his story is further evidence of the brain damage. Also pretty frickin’ sad 😢
Oh well, I’m a rick and I’m a lion 🦁 ... SO LIFE IS FRICKIN’ GOOD!!!! ROAR!!!
