it makes me upset that this works
 

People are paying it.

and here we are working for a living...

There is still a lot of scams for which every joe already know yet people keep falling for it:
-crypto get rich schemes (this is biggest scam where people lose up to 100k$)
-giving credit card number to get deposit for sold item
-buying cars/machines/etc online and never getting them

He got 9 so far. Sometimes I send a ton of regular promo emails for an offer and don't even get one lead. :/

you probably didn't threaten to out them for watching porn

FAIL

but seriously, @OP, yeah it's sad. I get that ish all the time (I'm sure everyone does) and it's unreal that even a handful of peeps fall for it :/

dude probs sent out a gazillion emails for that handful of hits, but still a handful too many

this is a common scam played on rich arabs afraid of blackmail. if youre from oman or something like that its common for a chick (usually filly girl) to give a free facebook invite and show while they screen record the guy shucking. The blackmail follows up with screenshots and threats to send to their mooslim families etc. It made the newspaper in pattaya last year it was so common. if you have no shame or no image to lose youre immune

There is zero fucking way that works. (Talking about the dumb email in the OP, not the real issue with webcams in the post above.)

Yeah, the scammer, to make it look like people are paying.

I hate to see people fall victims for these scams.. I've gotten a few of those over the years.

That is another type of scam, and they play it on anyone, they dont care are you rich of poor.

I get them all the time - To an email that the scammer has got from GFY! I was going to post this yesterday, but didn't bother, and low and behold, I had yet another to that address, between then & now...

Whats funny though, is that I have never put that email 'on' gfy is scrapeable form... ([email protected]) Nor have I 'coded' it as in its aBc {AT) XyZ dawt kom - Nor have I used that email for anything else BUT gfy either...

So how did I 'put it' on gfy? well, its not really a secret, so I expect you can guess from the phrasing I used.

Its 'My Favorite phrase' at My Favorite phrase' dot com - No spaces... It's the phrase that the bottom line of my sig - in emojis...

Not hard to guess - But not scrapable either

Nope. Someone of GFY has actually sat down, and worked out my email - Then sent me an email, saying they saw me looking at porn!

Well No Shit Sherlock! Filming, promoting, duplicating and distributing as well! You missed those out! I'm surprised they didn't mention that I was 'into poo' - That would be a shocker - I've been trying to keep that on the downlow for years!

A bit like sending an email to a Taxi driver, saying that they saw him driving a cab, or to a train driver saying they saw him in charge of a train!

I mean, at least choose your victims!

Plus, U shud no i cunt a4d2 pay U... :(

i've seen [unrelated] spam from many programs where i used a unique email to sign up. the world is full of scumbags and there's a lot of them here on gfy too.

I'll bet someone on here hand-scraped every member's email that he could find, then sold the list as a premium all-webmasters list for like $6, then the buyer sent it to you. :upsidedow

That goes back a long long way

It seems like they come in waves, and then go away for a while. I put tape on my webcam; those fuckers won't get me on video!

if it´s not this, it´s a knife held up to an old lady or a young kid...


scammers, assholes, life is full of them.


oh, let´s not forget our forgotten war heros. Killed for things we not know about!


Fucking world full of shit!


I try block it out and love life, live life but appreciate the good :thumbsup

i just wear pasties :2 cents:

#

Yup. MUST have been added by hand, because if I get an email on that address, it's usually from a GFYer, but when I reply, I use my REAL email address.... The ilikepoo one does not send out...

Yet I have NEVER had one on my real email address - Just my ilikepoo one... :2 cents:

ilikepoo? I've been spamming my threats to cyclopsjaundicehandchocolateswirlicecreamface.

Just received another one right now to the ILP addy!

Is the wallet this time lol

He used 'Trojan Virus' - Now I'm REALLY scared!!!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Took me a moment to work that out... But... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

it makes me upset when people use bitly links to cover up their URL to promote things like chaturbate :Oh crap

There's a legit reason for that though... :2 cents:

low trigger point? :1orglaugh

#

more clicks? :1orglaugh

No, its to do with adblock - For some reason a text string that contains a chaturbate link, will completely disappear if you happen to have an adblock running.

For some reason, it treats the text itself, like a banner ad - So without the bitly link, that text would be invisible to a percentage of people on gfy.

Yes, OK, webmasters should run adblock, etc etc, but they do - and while you would expect the top banner on GFY and those that appear when you hit reply etc to be gone, the only lines of text they remove (which you wouldn't expect them to remove) are direct chaturbate links. :thumbsup

interesting, thank you x

yep, its JUST chaturbate links. Even if you have the text that reads 'Sign up to a great platform' and that text is linked to a chaturbate link, even the text link itself disappears!

Are there any affiliate programs these days that provide email signups on PPL where you can put the signup form on your sites directly? That way I can promote things without worrying about cookies or ad blockers etc.
Last one like that that I remember is WEG cash, tho, I think. CB should add the same thing, same company-ish..

Plenty of companies have an API you can sign the user up to from your backend. Fairly basic to build that form into your sites.

Cool thanks, I'll look into it. I don't usually do email signups, but I'm trying to set something up to do regularly when on breaks in the lab to keep me up on things just in case. And something that doesn't need to be worked on all day lol.

Do you know if they're mostly soi/doi/just a mix/etc? :upsidedow

i thought you were out of the industry. :helpme

#

I am, but I get bored on breaks.

And tbh I was just high, I probably won't even look into it lol.

you gotta switch to sativa cuz u burned a lot of bridges with the shit you smoke :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

#

lol I know, but it's what I wanted and honestly working in a lab and being a trainer now is much better than making fucking blogs all day. :upsidedow

If I try to come back, don't let me.

well you will most likely never be hired for work again in this industry.

who cares if you promote some links. :winkwink:
