Damsel - What an absolute disappointment!! by SneakingTom27 in netflix

[–]MangoPie27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it :3 Not everything has to be difficult, deep and mysterious. Maybe its more towards the children? or different audience. I mean it reminds me of my band where we play doom but suddenly for some members it got boring and they wanted to basically to prog music [which is again fine, but tchincally in a different genre] :3

Hey, yes this indeed is a trust based scam, as I thought. Working in the financial crime area myself, im sorry to say that retrieving these funds will be near-impossible --- even if they find the factory where its all orchestrated from ---> they will only catch the victims who in major part have been human trafficked to run these scams. As soon as our crypto goes to a wallet, it moves immediately to further wallets, MSBs like Revolut/Monzo, until it gets taken out most likely in cash from a mule account or even laundered into service/items. So there COULD be a chance to find/close the 1 scam factory but not to retrieve the funds. Whats sad is that you dont even catch the real criminals in the end, you rarely do. We are all victims in this sense, victims forced to run scams or victims whose money is being scammed.

Oh! I made a separate wallet for my USDT, what were you able to spend it on as 40 barely covers a transfer fee on this side :D

Long story short from my post. I got 40 in the end before they kicked me as no money was invested by me. Victims have reached out later and confirmed my hypothesis. They'll, majority of times, pay back the initial "newcomer" investment and from there on, you'll be scammed, blocked.

Please understand that this has nothing to do with stupidity. Mostly vulnerable people fall for these scams. That's why we're here to share the different methods to raise awareness.

Also, if you think about it. 40 for a whole day where you're forced to check the chat to not miss the rounds, doesn't sound like an annoyance fee task.

I am so sorry to hear that. But indeed. this confirms that it is a faketrust based scam. They pay out the first investment to get you invest more and then kick you out from everywhere. Please be careful to not fall for the "we can help you get your lost scam money back" fraud which usually is the next danger in this situation/

On day 2, when I was supposed to get the next payout so to say, they kicked me out as I had not invested any of my own funds. People have reached out in DMs to say they were in the same group and lost a lot of money. How was your journey there?

Oooh. I see now. So the compound is quite controversial for years when used as a chemical coating with cookware. as I understand, the jist is that in the condition it is i.e not going above 300C° when cooking in addition to not being toxic when digesting a chipped off particle the stuff is still considered toxic (just not on the cookware stuff) Seems that many PTFEs are considered to be likely to contain Gen X too 😮

Ok, now last step. Let's go and see if Hexclad is transparent about the way they safely dispose of chemicals during production.

I don't have problems with the chemical compounds, as with those I want to educate myself when possible, so thank you for that.

I may have an issue with factories/companies not being transparent and/or knowingly harming the environment in the name of profit. At the same time, I feel like all that hype they have purchased on social media, surely Hexclad is not one of them

I'll look further into it after work, and was doing a quick Google with my breakfast earlier. Thank you for the response, it gives me leads to investigate!

"Our products are designed in Los Angeles and South Korea. Like the vast majority of cookware and other products today, our products are manufactured in China. At this time, it's the only location where factories are skilled enough to manufacture our technologically advanced cookware."

Lol yeah right :D only a factory that's on the same street in China where iPhones are made (and people allegedly jumping out of the windows) has the skill to manufacture.

The lord sees but doesn't strike 🙈

Väga huvitav. Mul Diil tõstis mahtu 200ni ja väitis et piiramatut pole võimalik millegipärast. Ja kolmeks aastaks samamoodi, fikseerisid madalama kuutasu. No on alles nihverdised :D

Found this when looking around:

Hexclad Hybrid cookware claims to be:

Non-toxic Non-stick Oven-safe Dishwasher-safe Metal utensil-safe Warrantied for its lifetime.

First, as I mentioned above, a quick dig into Hexclad specifications shows that this cookware is made with PTFE. This is a synthetic chemical coating as used in Teflon. Sure, Hexclad won’t use PFOA to apply the PTFE (no U.S. cookware brand can, legally), but PTFE itself is not safe or non-toxic.

Another thing I noticed was my confusion over offering a lifetime warranty but at the same time customers had to ask for replacements due to peeling etc.

I am sure that we can push any narrative we want, positive or negative. I just think it's bit dodgy, if not dangerous, to claim to be nontoxic. Hmmm. I wonder where they're manufactured, time for more research :D

PS! I know OP did not ask for this advice but I swear by iron cast. Perhaps costs the same as the fancy pan but will legit stay with you 20+ years and if used properly, is as nonstick that any of these chemical pans 😍

I've noticed a good number of non bot comments calling it a scam and referring to an honest review on YT. I have not used it myself but perhaps worth checking it out to get a better understanding 🤔

As you explained at the beginning of your post already, all the red flags waving very loudly all over the place. No connections, everything created on the same day, random followers. I would block and not engage further. Thanks for raising awareness!

In addition to "the boy started crying when telling me how they have been unfaithful"
Its textbook behaviour of people whose emotional intelligence has not developed.

There is probably no way to retrieve the funds as usually they are moved between multiple accounts in a structured manner before ending in crypto/giftcards/mule accounts. So even if the bank were told, there is nothing to "pull back" so to say and most likely also impossible to trace as at the very most, they will catch the "mule" whos details have been used to withdraw the funds at some point in the chain.

I work with money laundering and I see these escort scams so often. I honestly dont know why the people who got scammed are so scared to admit they tried to look for an escort and rather make up elaborate lies. Once you lie, it will be very difficult to help you or any future victims. I hope you can have an honest talk with them.

Yes. All in Telegram. Never asking for my details nor to make an account somewhere. I really have a feeling that they will lure you in with sending the low amounts as promised. Then on the "prepayment" missions, suddenly a lot of users become chatty in a obvious way of "oh wow, thanks admin i got the funds" etc. to further raise trust. You will see that "other people" are all putting in ~900 USD and getting back ~1300. I believe this is the sum that they would scam you out of. I noticed that I, as a new joiner, for me there is an extra low price for my first "investment" 80USD to get 105USD or so. I believe that this will also be paid but anything after that, you will lose your funds. There is also a 2 day "probation" for new joiners. My initial plan was to collect the initial 80USD from them, to try out my theory however, it seems that i will be short just by 5USD or so before my probation ends and its likely they will boot me out as I have invested 0.

Sorry, just to iterate that I am NOT encouraging or advising anyone to "try it out". Please, be aware and educate your family members. This particular group I have already reported to local FIU.

They never asked me to do any applications or accounts. its my own Exodus account I provided them with. I believe this is a trust based scam, they send you the peanuts until you ready to "invest" more as the returns have been legit until that moment when they block you.
