Just know, to all the people who hate on crab day, you don't have to like it, but my money literally would not go into a go-fund-me if it would exist or not, so I can spend my 12 € on crab day and maybe help us all maintain this hellsite for a while longer.
#the posts that ask for donating to go-fund-mes instead are the worst#I literally do not know anyone of you!#it could be a scam!#I feel very uncomfy to give my money to a random stranger on the internet#I would keep it for myself#I rather give it to a business then for my own gain#sorry if that makes me 'selfish'

It's 4am and I can't get this out of my head
#my post#my art#gravity falls#this could absolutely be fiddlestan. god it would be so funny#either way he's just lost his brother and is working the biggest scam of his life#and also taking a false name#as of this moment in time any other mention of Ford's name is going to send him into a fit of hysterics#stanley pines

i think also wrt to gazan fundraisers, some people have a really fantastical view of how much good a registered ngo is able to do. like if their charity donations were flowing directly to desperate people then maybe it would make sense to donate to those orgs to the exclusion of individual fundraisers. but we've known for months now how difficult it is to get aid actually through to gaza, so it is kind of a feel-good fantasy to think "well if i donate to a registered charity instead of an individual, that's a better use of that money" like is it? or is it now money that's sitting with an organisation that can't send nearly enough trucks across the border and doesn't evacuate people? if you're just assuming prima facie that being an official registered ngo makes it morally or logistically better then idk what to tell you, i think that's unwise
#again my position is obviously not 'there are never scams and never could be'#gaza fundraising info

Tried to tip a tumblr blog at 1am and it was such a suspicious transaction it immediately put a full fraud freeze on my account
Fortunately, banks no longer just ask 'did you make that transaction' they want to make sure you weren't scammed into making that transaction and 5mins after their call will give away all your money anyway.
This is an honest to goodness life saving movement and I cannot be happier banks are adopting it
Unfortunately, it meant I had to have the most embarrassing financial call of my life
-
Me: Ah yeah I was just trying to tip a tumblr blog
Cash: right and were you directed there by a Facebook link? An Instagram advert?
Me: no I was just on tumblr...on purpose
-
Caah: and this person asked you for money?
Me: oh no they just had a funny story, which happened to be about money and I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I tipped them"
-
Me: * covering a reblog by reblog update on the adventures my mutual was having *
Cash: okay I don't think that can actually happen though..
Me: It might not have, but i was happy to tip them just because it was funny
-
Cash: and how well do you think you know this person?
Me: *considers explaining how much I know about a beloved mutual without ever knowing their name or face* ... I have no idea who this person is
I think in the end Cash decided there was no saving me from myself
#Chase unblocked my card#But I did not come off well#But this is a good thing!#Be fraud aware!#Tipping a blog should be like handing money to someone in the street#Only do it if you can afford it and WANT TO and do not care what it goes on#It COULD be a scam#You've got to be alright with that#YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE#THE VET BILL ASKS ARE A SCAM#scams

Alberto and Luca, flexing their collection of Pokémon cards
Inspired by this image 👆 of two kids showing their first gen Pokémon cards (1999)
Song: Doomsday - MF DOOM
#luca#luca pixar#alberto scorfano#luca paguro#luberto#i envision a scenario where Luca would treat those cards like his prized processions#Alberto would be scamming people to get better cards i could just see it 💀

Can we have more on Ponzi pls? I need to know more about that 3000 km stare "cat." It's too much of a cat to be a cat, possibly some form of creature and/or eldritch god? Too much cat and not enough thoughts behind those eyes. Suspicious...
-🦐
Ponzi is just a really, really good kitty.
#ask#watwaslit#there is no such thing as too much cat#cant believe we have people suspecting ponzi to be some sort of fake#like a scam#or you could say. some sort of scheme even#ponzi posting

So I’m rewatching Psych and has anybody considered that that’s Tim Drake?
I absolutely need a fic of Tim scamming his way into police work by claiming he’s a psychic, but it’s just his regular deductive reasoning plus evidence he’s collected as Red Robin.
It’s so ridiculous that everyone looks past the part where he’s proving to be the World’s Greatest Detective 2.0, and it ends up being the perfect cover.
Brucie could never.
#Shawn’s dad pulled some ‘I’m doing this asshole thing but it’s secretly because I love you and want you safe’ shit and it was so Bruce coded#idk who his Gus would be none of his friends have time for shenanigans#oh maybe Bernard but I don’t know him that well#(really this could be dick too if he scammed his way in instead of becoming a cop)#dcu#dc comics#tim drake#red robin#batman#batfam#dcu fic prompts#shut up grandpa

HC: Baby Tim made people sign contracts whenever they promised him something. He never grew out of that habit, and he will use it for even the most ridiculous agreements.
He's even taken some of his family members to court over it.
#dc comics#dc universe#tim drake#unhinged tim drake#tim drake reads law books and has read all the textbooks he could get his hands on about contracts#he holes himself up in his room for weeks when a new contract textbook drops#he likes finding all of the loopholes and utilizing them viciously#lex luthor has to personally look over every single WE contract now (he got scammed out of all his printer paper the last time he didn't)

aziraphale and crowley are so bad at convincing anyone that they don't know where gabriel is
it's funny because even when crowley actually didn't know what was going on he still somehow gave off vibes as though he did
and it's not just that the vibes! strategically they suck at it!
at any point they could have actually let the angels or demons search the bookshop top to tip, with "Jim" standing there waving and offering snacks the entire time, and they would have actually not found anything and been forced to look elsewhere
but it never occurs to them to actually do that because THEY know that they know where gabriel is, so they just panic and fixate on keeping all the angels and demons away as much as possible, which makes it really obvious that they know something they're not sharing with the class
how are you both so bad at this?!
#good omens#said with affection of course#because they're from an entire species of terrible liars and the agencies they're thwarting aren't exactly run by master planners either#see what they need is more human friends because even a middling scam artist like tracey could run laps around angels and demons#never forget these are the people SHADWELL conned for actual decades

Kinda wish that people would be giving the same kind of criticism and scrutiny to Internet Historian that they have been giving to James Somerton. IH is a much bigger and more well known channel and his cave video got a lot more attention. Like I know his video got taken down, and he's only done this to one video (that we know of) but he employed the same sort devious tactics to try and hide his plagiarism, so would be nice to see the same sort of outrage for him too.
#hbomberguy#james somerton#internet historian#like i don't think he's losing so many subscribers or shouting down his patreon#not excusing what James did because he totally did steal other people's work and scam his audience out of tens of thousands of dollars#but like#wish we could see a consistent sort of energy towards a much bigger youtuber#and like my guy really let an antisemitic conspiracy theory run rampant within his fanbase instead of like admitting the truth#i feel like for internet histoeian hes just gonna bounce back from this in a month with no real consequences ugh ://

The fact that they never took Tech to a space casino to hustle people at cards is such Bullshit they could have made so much money in a single night doing that .
Phee babysits Omega for them and they all go to space Las Vegas and it just turns into the Star Wars version of The Hangover
Like it would be so funny cause it would probably just look like this
#star wars#the bad batch#entire episode of Tech fuckin plastered counting cards at a poker table#like think of all the different ways that they could use their slills to scam people at a casino#it would have worked great#echo wakes everyone up screaming something about a Nexu in the bathroom#god maybe i should write the fic

#I'm sorry. I wish I could do more.#For those reading‚ please keep talking about Palestine. No one is just a number.#It is also more than just Palestine.#Warning for graphic imagery in some of these campaign pages. But they are important stories if you will open them to read.#If not‚ remember that you can always just donate or share campaign posts.#I do not own a credit card‚ so online donations are difficult on my end.#Therefore I have been focusing more on local efforts for Palestine in my country instead that involve other mode of payment.#From Kurapika#Also please watch out for scams. We recently got sent a scam campaign and it was incredibly disheartening.#Just never ever let it make you lose hope. I hope it just fills you with determination instead.#Palestine#Free Palestine#Campaigns#Not Funnier As a Fictive

my toxic trait is picking up random hobbies on a whim like today i went shopping for a cardigan but found No cardigan i liked and so i naturally decided that i can just knit one even tho the only thing i have ever knit was a 8” by 3” rectangle in 5th grade that just looked so pathetic-
#digital art is truly one of the cheapest hobbies#hobbies i do not recommend with my entire soul: baking#fk baking i have beef with baking baking is a fking SCAM#i denounce ur sugar cookie recipe and ur stupid apple tartes!!!#actually i really love both#but eggs are so expensive now it just cant be worth it#btw who allowed egg prices to go back up#bruh i dont want to pay more than#like 20 cents per egg thats how much they are worth to me#oh but the sanity of the chickens u know what i didnt make the farming industry they should figure that out and i should still be allowed#to eat eggs#also like short of driving to a farm urself and verifying the free rangeness u just cant trust the labels#free range could refer to the holy pasture fields#or it could mean like a 0.2 sqft pissing block outside the pen#im tired of making posts about gj let me vent about eggs for one night geez#delete later
