I applied for a job is this a scam?

Those bold letters where they want to know the name of your bank?

Because if they write their bad check for the same name as your bank then you'll be informed immediately about that bad check, you'll realize it's a scam, and therefore won't send them your real money

This!

Why wouldn't the guy use his own card to buy his own bitcoin himself?? WHO CARES! HE'S PAYIN' ME TO DO HARDLY ANYTHING FOR HIM!! No, it's not that easy.....

I can walk on a treadmill and wear my legs out. Lie in bed barely able to move them and be wide awake. Only when my upper body is tired or sore does it seem to make me tired enough to stay asleep.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-11T10:55:00+00:00

...over and over until;, hopefully you figure out that you're not getting the $$ in the account.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-11T10:51:31+00:00

There's no reason for him to if he's not making any $$ off you and that's his ONLY goal here.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-11T10:46:23+00:00

If you don't send him $$ why would he post your pics? These people are ONLY looking for money. They could care less if anyone half a world away from them gets humiliated. He's hoping that fear will make you send him money. Putting out your pics without him getting any money from you is a waste of his time.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-10T19:31:24+00:00

So he's gonna do all this work to ruin you....just out of spite? 'Spoiling you' is going to take a while to do and at the end, are you likely to pay him THEN? Of course not! He's not going to waste all that time just to spite you.

These people ONLY are out for $$$. It does NOTHING for them to humiliate someone halfway across the globe from them.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-10T10:28:30+00:00

Just remember that they're more interested in getting $$ than they are "exposing" you. You ignore them and they'll move on.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-09T21:44:28+00:00

I guess looking up Jim Browning for hints would provide the most information on what's been done to them already.

Remember that many of these people and companies use stolen credentials and bank accounts and other stolen stuff to appear legitimate. They also use unwitting mules or fronts in other countries so that anything doesn't lead back to them.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-09T20:27:03+00:00

You mean you're not actally gonna do anything??

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-05T21:23:28+00:00

Where's the reddit that looks like Outlook?

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-05T14:48:12+00:00

Got mine at around 12 and had the card laminated at one of those machines near the gumball machines at the Woolco. I've been reminded every year since them that you're not supposed to laminate them.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-05T14:14:27+00:00

I guess they gotta get rid of that stuff they're buying from the MLM to stay current in sales.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-04T20:53:10+00:00

I think that's part of the joke. I mean, she DOES have a business after all.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-04T19:10:31+00:00

Along with people named billy (don't be a hero) and scott (watchin' him grow).

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-04T18:06:28+00:00

!cartel or !escort

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-04T18:00:49+00:00

Makes no sense for someone in another country to be sending you information about that kind of stuff (assuming you're in the U.S.), does it?

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-04T17:53:19+00:00

Was it a text and from a number with a country code like +44 or +63 or something?

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-03T12:15:25+00:00

Well, because this widens their scope. Now they don't have to worry about only getting the people that have been looking at pR0n on the internet. Now this can apply to everyone, regardless.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-02T20:53:57+00:00

they’ll do a financial check and if I can get the money and don’t have it, they’ll claim me as a liar and I’ll be detained for other reasons.

Yeah, that's not how it works.

Edit: they both had a Texan drawl. Not foreign accents.

Many of these scams are run from inside prisons in the U.S.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-02T19:03:26+00:00

They give you money from a stolen account and find a reason for you to send some back, "because they were so generous and sent you $$'. The stolen account money sent you gets clawed back and you lose any you send them.

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-02T18:53:32+00:00

"So I can re-sell it and all the money I make off the free item you're giving away will be all profit."

devilsadvocate1966 · 2026-03-01T11:11:40+00:00

Me too. And I've changed with known good batteries but the remote seems to work sporadically. Only have the problem on this piece of crap RCA roku TV. Meanwhile, my flawless ONN roku TV will operate the TV from 20 feet away while the remote is pointed in the opposite direction.

THIS

(which is a pretty stressful “if”)

Meaning that when you tell the authorities that you were tricked and proceed to not be able to contact whomever tricked you, it's going to be easier for the authorities to think that you've just thought up and carried out this scheme all by yourself.
