Have you ever seen posts like this one on the photo in groups, with such groups being totally unrelated to the post? There's a whole science behind it, that scam artists exploit. It evokes sympathy from gullible people, and then the latter post positive comments below for encouragement. And, religious bullshit in every comment. Eeuw.
An older version of the photo above, was to simply use a stolen photo of a pretty girl, with 'her' then saying via a bot that posted on several groups: "It's my birthday and nobody congratulated me." It's mind-numbing to see the birthday wishes stream in, thousands of it. When did people became so superbly retarded?
The syndicate behind the scam uses a bot to make automated posts like these, and the bot then later scrape and screen the comments. Comments containing certain 'positive' words to determine the 'mood' of the comment, especially religious words, are marked as promising, with the commentators then proven to be gullible and ready to be targeted.
Several studies proved that people making this godsnotty type of comment are gullible as fuck and ready to be screwed over. Since religion already screwed their critical thinking skills, see.
Shortly afterwards, an automated chatbot using AI will then inbox you, with you the gullible sucker believing it's a human you're talking to. It also fools Facebook's Haskell algorithm because you already interacted with the post. And then you are dragged into the scam, even over a period of months, which has a high likelihood of costing you money or your credit record or even your freedom.
Whole nests of Nigerian scum sit around several computers in a telesales-lookalike setup, scamming people for a living. That's their day job, they work harder doing crime than finding an actual honest job. Not just Nigerians, of course, but that shithole excel particularly well in all forms of dishonesty.
Of course I blame religion, which forces its victims to lie all the time to justify atrocities in religious books, and which corrupts the moral values of the zombies. That leads to their dishonesty becoming part of their character, and spills over to every aspect of life. Nigeria is heavily infected with mental Aids. Just look at all the churches they have, literally one on every street in dirty Lagos. Either a pastor or a 419-scammer will try to defraud you with lies.
Hot on Nigeria's heels for dishonest behavior - or even ahead - is Pakistan. Known for its religious extremism where Pakistanis stone and bomb each other over their disgusting allah-junk and the pedophile prophet they admire for raping an underage child, that nest also host a lot of criminal hackers. Proportionally more than atheistic countries, I'd reckon.
Totally coincidentally, the guy that posted the photo that is on my screenshot on top of this article, hails from Pakistan. Big surprise, huh. He uses a fake 'white' name for his FB profile - no surprise - and used an image downloader to download really beautiful photos from elsewhere, which he then uploaded to his timeline to attract likes.
I believe he is part of a bigger syndicate that makes a living from defrauding people on Facebook.
The hacking syndicate in question needs only one sucker out of ten thousand to make this a very lucrative business, and there are several ways of benefiting hugely from your gullibility even if you are dirt broke.
Interpol warned many times before that identity theft is now the most common crime around the world, and can even get you kidnapped for human trafficking or as drug mule. Or you can get dragged into a romance scam. Your personal details can be sold to other hackers on the dark web or to marketing agencies. Online accounts can be opened using your identity to commit criminal acts and even dump you into debt.
Every time you speak to the bot - and later to one of the criminals themselves that take over from the bot - you reveal a bit about yourself, even your level of education can be guesstimated from how you spell and reason. All that bits and pieces of info gets recorded for later use against you.
Social engineering, psychology, all of it right here behind the photo. And it all starts off with just a short sentence such as on top of a stolen photo.
Interestingly enough, the fuckers' bot evolved. A criminally-minded coder added a few extra lines of code. It now spot comments that point out it's a scam, and deletes that comment to prevent potential victims from catching on. Happened to my warning at the post. So I meme'd the screenshot I took the moment I came across the scam.
But, despite my negative comment at the post... I got my scam message in my inbox! 🤣 Now if I'll only pay a small shipping fee I can collect the underwater ice-cream toaster I won.
