It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
This is why those incredibly obvious scam calls are so prevalent, you just have to hit one person like this for it all to be worth it.

For fucks sake, this was old news when I was young, how can millionaires not know that kind of shit?
I think he was aware, which is why he said he called the number back.
"hello, you have reached The Apple that makes the phones and the computers. how may I help you"
I'm suspicious and think that whole part of the story might be fabricated so not to appear like a TOTAL idiot. I'm 50/50 on it, but I'd wager (real) dollars that he just looked on the call display and trusted it.
