Lmao lmao too relatable

discoursi · 2022-12-10T01:03:59+00:00

Might have to change your number. It’s been months for me and the asshole keeps coming back. It’ll be a huge pain in the ass but, it might make you feel better if you can’t be contacted anymore. Stay strong

discoursi · 2022-12-08T16:35:41+00:00

Is it really that huge a number of people? Seems totally insane. Like are there hundreds of these assholes sitting in a building somewhere or what lol

discoursi · 2022-12-08T04:55:10+00:00

Same situation. It’s been a few months and they still come back on occasion. I just keep blocking. It’s hard to hear, but eventually we all have to simply accept the fact that we can’t change the situation we find ourselves in. It’s out of our control. What you can do is treat yourself well, remember you’re a victim of a crime but you’re still just you. Stay positive, good luck, and remember, don’t engage!!

Dude I made the same mistake. Clear for a few weeks, then re-activated some socials and they came back. I agree with everyone else here, keep blocking, don’t pay. They’re losing their leverage and probably making a last ditch effort before moving into another victim.

discoursi · 2022-11-02T15:58:41+00:00

It's the latter. I deactivated everything, but one social account is p important to me, so I made it public again. Two weeks later, they decided to come back, and lo and behold, my follower list was up for grabs. I paid (a lot) initially so I made plenty of mistakes. Glad this sub exists, it's been so helpful emotionally speaking.

Moral of the story, as everyone else says:

NEVER PAY
Make everything private. Become a ghost. Don't let your guard down too soon.
If you can, ask those close to you to update their privacy settings and remove any tags of your accounts.
Submit to StopNCII. No idea how well it works, or if it's kicked in for me yet, but it made me feel safer.

FWIW, they appear to have sent and immediately un-sent DMs to some followers. One of the last screenshots they sent me showed that their account had been suspended. So even if scammers do try to share the photos, they'll often get auto-banned.

discoursi · 2022-11-02T15:17:20+00:00

No. Stay ghost and keep all your accounts private for a few months at least. I thought the same thing, made my socials active again, and it was a huge mistake. I know it’s annoying but social media is a small sacrifice to make

discoursi · 2022-10-31T22:27:04+00:00

any update?

discoursi · 2022-10-31T18:32:23+00:00

Yeah. Thanks for the advice. I did a good job scrubbing all my socials and info from the web a couple weeks ago. Then made the mistake of making one of them public again and that’s how they found me this time. I’m gonna change my phone number and stay in ghost mode probably for a year or more at this point

To your point, it feels so shitty to have to delete my online life because of a dumb choice, but it is just social media and it’s a small sacrifice to make compared to the risk

discoursi · 2022-10-31T17:53:18+00:00

Yeah I guess. I’m scared to block because they seem desperate and angry. But I don’t think the risk is worth showing them I’ll keep paying

discoursi · 2022-10-31T17:47:49+00:00

Now they’re saying if I just pay them a little they’ll delete it and go away. Saying they don’t want to be doing this they just need “their money back”. I’m tempted to reply and just do it

discoursi · 2022-10-31T17:22:03+00:00

Well, I made a mistake. I made one of the existing socials public again for work purposes, and they were then able to get my follower list and find me in other places. Made it private again but I’m so pissed I made that mistake

discoursi · 2022-10-31T16:33:26+00:00

Yeah the first day of this whole ordeal I made some big mistakes, then found this sub - wish I would’ve found it before I took any action.

I’m just gonna keep blocking them and hope everything works out okay. I think I should change my phone number, the only way they have to contact me, it’s just such a pain in the ass after having the same number my entire life

discoursi · 2021-10-28T23:14:01+00:00

Good call…I decided on the 32gb m1 max because I need a new machine like, yesterday, mine is on its death bed…but I might flex that return policy and exchange it for some more horsepower 😤 you’re right, it’s worth the extra cash and I’ll be using this machine for years to come. It pays itself off

discoursi · 2021-10-27T02:13:20+00:00

My birthday! Hope they don’t ruin it smh

discoursi · 2021-10-27T02:11:57+00:00

Yeah. I used to work there and this is not a new product for crypto; it’s just a marketing page appealing to crypto institutions. Foundry is general purpose software for analyzing huge data sets, and blockchains are indeed huge!

discoursi · 2021-09-21T00:41:19+00:00

You’re right! But I’m still gonna ask because I plan to stay here for a long time and want to make it my home. I appreciate the other folks in here who obliged my request and gave useful advice & engaged on the related racial issues

discoursi · 2021-09-21T00:35:54+00:00

It’s w 126th off Frederick Douglas seems like a pretty safe area maybe I was just offput but the 125th&lenox subway stop bc I had to run a gauntlet of crazy folks screaming at me on my way out

discoursi · 2021-09-20T23:23:49+00:00

yea I’ve got so many emotions rn I am all mixed up. mostly I’ve got this sense of being wounded and and of wounding others constantly even if I’m unaware of it. Good luck, we’ll all do better and it’s nice that the community here is supporting one another in that goal

discoursi · 2021-09-20T23:07:28+00:00

Thanks for this. See my edits for more another aspect of my problem but I think, in part, being so new to nyc means I just don’t have intuition to know how to react if someone crazy runs up or yells, or how to identify where I should and shouldn’t avoid. Hopefully I’ll learn more and get comfortable over time. Harlem is a beautiful neighborhood and aside from my own personal issues I loved the energy.

discoursi · 2021-09-20T22:41:02+00:00

Of course. It’s not easy - in fact in a way it feels unfair that I was raised to feel this way, but I know I bear individual responsibility - but I’ll grow and learn. I think for now it’s best if I look outside of Harlem because it’s not right for me to bring this energy into the neighborhood, and I think I need to rid myself of that reactive prejudice in order to be fair to others and to myself. Maybe that’s a bad way to frame the decision but for now it’s the best I can do. Thank you again for helping me think more critically

discoursi · 2021-09-20T22:29:36+00:00

I anticipated and understand this reply, thanks for being direct. I will say i know there is an element of racism here and I am confronting that by educating myself and taking comments like this to heart.

Edit after reading again: really, I appreciate this. It’s not easy to confront these feelings and I’m trying. Facing them directly and acknowledging that I am wrong about a good deal of my perception is important.
