So you want us to click on the link that you know is a scam.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm very much involved the scam-baiting world.
Really interesting stuff. I highly recommend people search YT for Kitboga, Jim Browning, and Scammer Payback who do incredible work bringing down Indian call centers and educating people on how to avoid this stuff. Can you imagine if there was a global scam that successfully bilked people out of money every week via emotional manipulation and threats of prolonged violence? Even worse imagine if that scam network was so far-reaching it was immune to tax laws

Those who get millions stolen, of course, but also the thousands who are made slaves to do the scams. But you do get scammed every day by religion and you are also spreading that scam. I guess my favorite scam is when I get a paper letter or a message online that I have inherited lots of money but I need to send money to get that insurance. Or recently I got a message from a supposed millionaire who is dying of cancer asking me if he can give me his money. Or take scams in the gym. There was this ripped guy in the gym who started approaching me with his bits of advice on how to work out better - I knew immediately what was to happen. And, as clockwork, three sessions later he started selling me this very cheap protein powder that is, in his words, "all-natural". Then I told him that I am also selling a protein fluid that is so natural that he can suck it directly from nature through a meaty straw. I never saw him again.

He was doing it for comedy more than bringing them down. He did waste a lot of their time and it’s very funny Other than education, I haven’t seen much for one to do to combat scammers and/or human trafficking (maybe worse than the scam). Do you have any suggestions?

Story time; A year after my father passed my mother wanted to find a companion, She changed her Facebook status to widow, Almost immediately she was talking to someone who "stumbled" onto her profile. She was quite resistant when I told her the guy wasn't real so I sat down with her and showed her all the guy's images were stolen, and the things he was typing were all copied and pasted. I also showed her several YouTube videos of scam victims who received similar messages. Eventually, I got through. Fast forward to today she not only is very educated on them but has helped a few of her online friends avoid them as well.

Is this a scam or a plot for J.Lo rom-com?
