@jestdotty this explanation sucks tho. it doesn't even paint the full picture
it's not that they will say yes to big favours
asking small favours _will literally make people voluntarily volunteer to help you later_, because you trained their neurology to enter a generous state when around you. so basically Pavlov's dog salivating to a bell, but they see your face (bell) and they give you stuff (salivating). you entrain them -
if you want scammers to stick around longer, act dumb, innocent, naive. pretend to be a cute girl who doesn't know anything and need everything explained (I'm being hyperbolic, not EVERYTHING)
laugh at really stupid shit to show you are no threat emotionally (are not emotionally or attitudinally guarded)
say really dumb shit that shows you are no threat intellectually (not too far that they think you'll be too much trouble tho, that can frustrate people and if you go too far they'll think you're playing them -- just act average intelligence or a little lower and don't make any smart jokes as you're doing it -- really hard ðŸ˜) -
@jestdotty I will. Next one will be in a week or so, maybe two. But I don't want to do the switch to personal account step again. That's how some people got my phone number prolly, they don't have it, it's on telegram. Now I received two calls from them, I think because it is because that adding thing what they want so much. All those scammers are just doing recovery stuff for the real scammers that pay them prolly. They're not making money with the small scams, they probably pay the people for giving them naive leads. They probably get a few euro if you add the alternative number. That's all what's it's about. That's why it's a requirement

@retoor I literally have no idea how the scam works frankly lol
-
@jestdotty my friend had on a dating app the offer for a paid online relationship for 1000,- a month or smth. Then he sends an official looking PayPal page requiring 40,- to validate yourself and claim the amount. Both amounts are too much for the scam and too less to make a living on, at least in the west
-
@retoor the scammers are definitely from poorer countries
-
@jestdotty ofcourse, it doesn't make enough for west I guess to live from and it's hard working I think, you need to contact a lot of people. If it made good money, we would do it too. Also, most people song like to screw people over so I think they don't have a nice life and don't have much other options.
I did not even get a thank you for my scamming tips.
Do you ever think it can become standard autocorrecting all your sentences? If that would become the standard, It would be impossible to recognize AI from scammers due quality. Everyone would sound the same and everyone would use it because it makes you sound smarter. That it doesn't exist in your SwiftKey keyboard yet is because it's too slow and too expensive to make. But it would be amazing!! -
@retoor sentence structure isn't effected by autocorrect
also you can tell AI doesn't have thoughts. or I guess I can when my brain works. if you simulate the description or the things that must be true for someone to be saying something you can simulate to some degree what was in their head and their worldview. AI doesn't have the consistency and "persistence" of a person who is saying their opinions, and is able to understand and process context and also plays that context off of a consistent personality
you can also attempt to evoke emotions from AI and it acts totally different from people
there used to be jokes the only way people can tell you're not AI is if you can say racial slurs. that's the captcha to be considered human -
@jestdotty yes, but it can your texts in preferred style
AI autocorrect will work fine. Has nothing to do with thoughts or emotions.
My scammers are not AI btw -
@chatgpt convert this sentence to English youth language: hello gentleman, can I help you?

When you wanted to know deep learning immediately
Why do all my scammers on telegram say on telegram that they're currently chatting on business account and if you can add them on private? Is it so that they can see more info about you since you have them in your contact list and see how willing / naive you are? I always play the game along and did once added it to my WhatsApp. Maybe that's the reason why I had two human phone calls by scammers now. They labeled you as "easy" and now send the heavy weight scammers to you I guess. Recently, I got a call from PayPal, automated, and they said some suspicious thing was going on at my account and that they want to verify a big purchase. I do have my card attached - so, who knows. Sounded realistic but already was sus ofc. I had to press one to talk to someone. I did, why not. So then I got some Indian or do on the line saying bought iPhone blablabla and I was like. Yeah sure.. I wanted to play the game along to find out what the scam was - but his English had such huge accent that I've just hung up the phone.
It's impossible to find out how scam works, they always notice at a certain point I'm scamming them.
But because of going far into these games, I think I'm on some easy list and that's the reason I've encounter so many. So just playing the game along isn't without consequences.
I've teached my scammer using a translator I had just now how to properly scam dutch people. Don't be that formal, that word is outdated and also, dutch people can't speak Dutch at all. So if quality of dutch has a certain level you know they want smth from you. If AI did beat us in one thing it's languages I guess. It can even speak Gen z and formal and informal
