one time someone stole my credit card # and they bought a bunch of apple cider vinegar and shipped it to my house. still scratching my head over that one
I had my cc stolen and they used it to pay for college tuition in their own name. Seemed like a bad idea, but what do I know, maybe this is a higher-level grift I'm not capable of understanding.
I read cc as oc initially and was very curious how your sonic character could pay for college
They are a mole who is a rival gem thief of rouge the bat, of course they have the money.
Yeah well my ocs power is that they negate everyone else's powers and also they have magic shields
My OC's power is that they have no powers to be negated, which means that they also ignore the magic shields :)
I had someone who figured out my WoW password just use my max level rogue for pvp for quite some time. When I logged in, I found her dressed in pvp gear I never bought and with maxed herbalism. All my money and my stuff was untouched. The guild bank was untouched. No idea who did it or why.
It’s like the scam calls that when you pick up there’s just no one on the line and then they hang up. I know that’s so they can put you on a list to call in the future but it’s like damn homie at least shoot your shot
Griff Creem sounds like a name you'd see in a badly localized Japanese SNES game
I was gonna say "minor background Star Wars glup shitto"
On the other hand Greef Crim sounds like either a location in world of warcraft or a sad criminal from Harry Potter
I welcome Greef Crim, but invite him to go further
Greef Crim is honestly a fantastic character name. Gonna use it for my next DND character.
It's The Grim Queefer!
Griff Creem in the context of Star Wars sounds like one of The Mandalorian's friends but one who would betray him for money
also it'd be pronounced "krem" and he'd be French (ghorman)
Griff Creem wears a black woodoo hide jacket and rides a sick speeder bike and shoots one of those GIGN scoped revolvers as a blaster
Heblo yes i am legitime American Bussinessman
excuse me, that is Sir Griffenauld Creemworthy IV of the Cinncinnati Creemworthys, who made their fortune in potent child laxatives back when your grandfather was still in shortpants.
it would be your pleasure and honor to list that Civic on behalf of a true Prince of Cincinnati.
Look do you want the Honda or not? Allan just wrote me and he's very interested
What else was he supposed to do? make a facebook account?! he made the right call.
A 2014 Honda Accord probably isn't worth 11k. That's my biggest complaint... Unless of course the Honda Accord belongs to Cincinnati royalty Griffenauld Creamworthy. Then it's basically priceless as a piece of history.
The used car market is absolutely fucked right now. 20 year old cars start at $2,500 these days. A friend of mine just bought a 2003 CRV for $4,000 because it's the cheapest he could find that actually runs
I got four offers within a few minutes of the listing, so the market disagrees apparently. Or maybe they're trying to counterscam
It must be a very nice Honda Accord. Hey I hear you're selling one, could I make an offer?
I'll shoot Griff a mail and see if it's still for sale
They scam the customer and the customer reports you? Maybe payid scam
Probably something like that, I got an inbox from a FB account last year whose name I vaguely remember. Clicked through to see who this was, and I suddenly remembered it was a dumbass fake name my friend made in 2011 because he didn't want his real name to be searchable, but still wanted to be on Facebook. He stopped using the email associated with it after he started applying for jobs and "sexbomb" + a string of numbers @hotmail was apparently detrimental to getting hired at EB Games or most other places, really. After a while, he forgot the password to both the hotmail and the Facebook account, so when his laptop that the FB account was logged in on died, he just made a new one.
Fast forward to 2025, someone somehow got access to an inactive Facebook account and started messaging people about wanting to sell their TV. What a weird grind. Oh well.
Just let me sell my van. Jesus Christ
How did you guess my password dude?
BerlinIsStartingLine1917! is the communal password. Obviously
bring back Bureaucrat
Oh yeah! That was awesome. What happened? Did someone abuse it?
Someone crashed out I think and then sourpusses decided that was it for it.
Impound control after major bomb
I think the scam is they ask for some kind of down payment for it and then bounce. Then your account gets shut down for fraud.
It seems like literally half of all social media at present is just scams trying to get deposits sent for sex/drugs/whatever and I am just increasingly staggered by the absolutely tremendous scale of it all
Like I literally wouldn't be surprised if bots trying to prey on horny idiots outnumbered humans at this point
Kinda curious how that whole industry will go when boomers died off. Yeah there’s a sucker born every minute but boomers have to be where the money’s at. Plus they’re pretty bad with tech compared to other generations (and general tech literacy is very low to begin with).
I'm curious how that industry is going now, like, it's really hard to imagine enough people falling for that shit often enough to justify all the activity trying to make it happen
And the ones that are fully automated, like, doesn't chatGPT cost money to run???
Inb4 someone makes a "Griff Creem" account on here to sell their 2014 honda civic for $11.000
sounds like you just don't want to share your facebook account with poor Griff Creem
