I see the Stereotype Confirmation Team is at it again.

There's something similar about all the perps of these crimes. I just can't figure out what it is.

Let's take a moment to thank African Americans for their culture and their contributions to our society.

"Jabriex"? What kinda made-up name is that? Alas, the world is a ghetto.

Dump scammers call my phone all day long until after 5:00. one calls talking about I had a court date and I need to pay some money in order not to go to jail. They all need to go to prison for a long time 🤔⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️

People generally need to do a better job of educating their senior relatives. It's not hard. Simply say, if ANYONE contacts you asking for money, it's likely a scam. If they need reassurance, the senior should be instructed to call a trusted relative or friend (preferable someone who's not gullible) and get their opinion. Most importantly, tell the senior that whatever story they're told is NOT IMPORTANT. The fact they are asking for money IS.

This is why you don't share information. Even when you think that info is already public or protected by encryption. Just stop doing it. 711 want to scan your ID? Tell them no

Two things I would wish comes true: 1) That these animals never see old age. 2) If they do make it to old age, Karma visits them over and over. So don't get mad when the evils that you've committed are visited upon y-o-u.
