When i was a kid i've fallen into thoses fakes instagram accounts of celebrities asking you to call a number to get an iphone

World Games Inc. (A pyramid scheme originating in Australia, billed as selling stock in an online gambling site)
A few friends recommended that I joined. I probably would have if I wasn't already broke.

Wanted to sell my ps4 cause I wanted something else, nearly fell for a scam on offerup.

I don't care what anyone says, the first time they encountered "You're the 1 millionth visitor" they clicked on it unless they'd heard about it before.

For most of us netizens though, it's so long ago that we consider everyone gullible who clicks on it while denying to ourselves that our first time is just further back than it is for most.

Didn't fall for it but one time I was recruited to be a secret shopper. They mailed me a cheque for 6,000 dollars with instructions to deposit the money into my chequing account and use it to make a money transfer with Western Union.

Once I got over the initial shock of the money I did some googling and found out how the scam worked. The troubling thing is that I was communicating with my parents the whole time and they never once clued in that what was happening was suspicious.

Almost gave my credit card to a "verification service" on grinder for "safety" on it.

A bank tried to sell me a pension fund contract. Luckily, I know my math and found out that it was so bad that I'd call it a scam.

Didn't fall for it, but I got hit with an attempt at a pig butchering scam a week or so ago.

It was fun. They texted, I acted like I knew them, and I think that they eventually got frustrated because I kept agreeing that I remembered them very well, and that it wasn't a 'wrong number', oopsie I sent a photo to the wrong person tee-hee.
