I spend so much energy every week trying to create real value for customers; meanwhile someone is making money off of this. I conceive of scams like this all the time, but some part of me always keeps me from actually executing.
And then someone, who is willing to bend ethics to get what they want, worked on that idea and messed up our world.
For $500 I have a necklace that will cure you of those ethics and protect you from 5G!
i try to convince everyone with a scammy idea to think twice, simply by asking how they would feel if someone else had tried that same scam on their mom/dad/grandparents, and what they would do to the scammer
another trick is "how would your mother feel if she knew you make money by scamming", but thats a bit more pointed and reserved for actual friends since it can lead to a fight
the few % who would actually scam their own mother, bless them. i'm just happy the total number of scammers to people is still <5% ish :)
