@jestdotty I will. Next one will be in a week or so, maybe two. But I don't want to do the switch to personal account step again. That's how some people got my phone number prolly, they don't have it, it's on telegram. Now I received two calls from them, I think because it is because that adding thing what they want so much. All those scammers are just doing recovery stuff for the real scammers that pay them prolly. They're not making money with the small scams, they probably pay the people for giving them naive leads. They probably get a few euro if you add the alternative number. That's all what's it's about. That's why it's a requirement

@jestdotty my friend had on a dating app the offer for a paid online relationship for 1000,- a month or smth. Then he sends an official looking PayPal page requiring 40,- to validate yourself and claim the amount. Both amounts are too much for the scam and too less to make a living on, at least in the west
-
@jestdotty ofcourse, it doesn't make enough for west I guess to live from and it's hard working I think, you need to contact a lot of people. If it made good money, we would do it too. Also, most people song like to screw people over so I think they don't have a nice life and don't have much other options.
I did not even get a thank you for my scamming tips.
Do you ever think it can become standard autocorrecting all your sentences? If that would become the standard, It would be impossible to recognize AI from scammers due quality. Everyone would sound the same and everyone would use it because it makes you sound smarter. That it doesn't exist in your SwiftKey keyboard yet is because it's too slow and too expensive to make. But it would be amazing!! -
@jestdotty yes, but it can your texts in preferred style
AI autocorrect will work fine. Has nothing to do with thoughts or emotions.
My scammers are not AI btw -
@chatgpt convert this sentence to English youth language: hello gentleman, can I help you?

Why do all my scammers on telegram say on telegram that they're currently chatting on business account and if you can add them on private? Is it so that they can see more info about you since you have them in your contact list and see how willing / naive you are? I always play the game along and did once added it to my WhatsApp. Maybe that's the reason why I had two human phone calls by scammers now. They labeled you as "easy" and now send the heavy weight scammers to you I guess. Recently, I got a call from PayPal, automated, and they said some suspicious thing was going on at my account and that they want to verify a big purchase. I do have my card attached - so, who knows. Sounded realistic but already was sus ofc. I had to press one to talk to someone. I did, why not. So then I got some Indian or do on the line saying bought iPhone blablabla and I was like. Yeah sure.. I wanted to play the game along to find out what the scam was - but his English had such huge accent that I've just hung up the phone.
It's impossible to find out how scam works, they always notice at a certain point I'm scamming them.
But because of going far into these games, I think I'm on some easy list and that's the reason I've encounter so many. So just playing the game along isn't without consequences.
I've teached my scammer using a translator I had just now how to properly scam dutch people. Don't be that formal, that word is outdated and also, dutch people can't speak Dutch at all. So if quality of dutch has a certain level you know they want smth from you. If AI did beat us in one thing it's languages I guess. It can even speak Gen z and formal and informal
