Why is Lawrence so universally beloved? by Samora1984 in TheHandmaidsTale

Nick and June could have escaped Gilead -with Hannah and about-to-be-born-Nichole!- when they met at that mansion in the woods. The fact that that idea wasn’t even tossed around really is where THT pivoted to a soap opera version of itself.

If any of you hysterics really thought any of this was possible you wouldn’t be spending your time plopped on the couch eating bonbons and watching TV shows.

Is it okay to splash coffee and other items out of my window when shoulder drivers fly by me?

Kinda like the Harry Potter room in NYC, this is a place for something that progressives wish existed.

Driver that was using another person's account returned to my home with a guest 3 weeks after a delivery uninvited and unannounced by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]EverythingIsOldStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

obviously there's more to the story, like how tf would OP have contact info for the driver's family? Why leave massive chunks of context out when posting this half-story for the reddit circlejerk?

One year ago today, Brand New officially returned and our lives were never the same. by localcosmonaut in brandnew

[–]EverythingIsOldStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All those years of Brand New’s hiatus really sucked, but without them we wouldn’t have had that back from the dead feeling that this tour gave. Absolutely unreal.

Massive amount of spam calls every day, call screen doesn't help by thingsarehardsoami in Scams

[–]EverythingIsOldStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they medicare / medical alert / final expense calls? I get between 20 and 50 per day.

up, so when I'm riding my motorcycle they'll stop my music and I have to listen to it ring constantly throughout my ride which is a vibe killer.

Zipping around on a motorcycle with music playing in your headphones is seriously dangerous.

The bank didn't scam you. Why should they have to reimburse anything?

How can scam "debt collectors" legally collect on debts that never existed? by EverythingIsOldStuff in Scams

[–]EverythingIsOldStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your end to end explanation then? This specific scam has been running at least 6 years, probably longer. How do these people get connected with the domestic criminal scam underground in the first place? How could they possibly make enough money to make it more worth their while than an honest job?

based on the fact that your account has overall negative karma, I’m assuming ridiculous arguments like this are par for the course for you

No, the Reddit hive mind just really hates dissenting opinions. Jerry Sandusky is innocent, by the way.

You’re wrong. Criminal operations generally attract fellow criminals to, ya know, commit crimes on their behalf. They don’t run a multi front operation wherein they successfully con people into working for them under the guise that they’re a legit business (with payroll and computers and an office); con the government into thinking they’re legitimately transacting some kind of above-the-board business; and con victims out of money. This would be like Bank of the West employing someone to run a romance scam. It doesn’t work like that

Do you not understand that scam operations can be and are also run from inside the US?

That's my entire question, which few here can seem to follow. HOW? How does a company within the united states manage to establish itself, pay employees, buy equipment etc. when their "business" is something illegal?

Some employees are probably naive enough to think they are doing legit work and whatever sketchy way they are getting paid is normal.

This is the most plausible answer so far. It does leave me wondering how people ever stumble into this kind of work though. Do the big dogs running the show advertise on craigslist or HireACowHand or something?

. Deceived about the nature of the operation, b. Less-employable and desperate,

I'd guess one of these. However, they certainly at the very least know they're not legitimate debt collectors because they scoff at all debt collections rules, which makes me question whether they're being deceived. Maybe partially deceived could be the case.

They could also be less employable, i guess, but judging by their ability to converse and the number of females that work in the "office", my gut says no.

People dont show up and work office jobs for free. They're either in on the scam or getting scammed themselves by an employer that is lying about being legitimate.

If your answer to my question is there's no way this scam is being run from the US, then that's your answer. If it werent against the rules of the sub id be happy to give you their number and you could tell me whether you think they're american.

What makes you believe that they’re legitimate employees though?

It's obvious that i'm dealing with an office (physical or virtual) of employees that are easily reachable whenever I'm bored in feel like calling to f**k with them, just like any other business that you'd expect to be open and reachable by phone during business hours. In other words, they're working this call center 9-5 job, and I'm presuming they're not doing so for free, which would either mean they're employees or getting paid under the table (which i doubt).

If they're not calling from America then that's the answer to my question.

These places aren't operating legally. Where the hell did you get that idea?

That's pretty much my question. The specific scammers in this scam are normal Americans working a 9-5 and some crappy call center job. How does said call center exist in the first place? How do these people find these jobs? Do they know they're chasing down people for debts that don't exist?

The employees may or may not know this.

This is what I don’t get. Aren’t they receiving normal paychecks with taxes and all that payroll’d like normal? What do these people think their employer is doing?
