I am getting “parasocial relationship”/“confidence scammed” for currently $1.23 a month, which feels like a quantitative difference from the situation in the article if not a qualitative one
Is there no consumer protection and enforcement in the US? For years I've been reading about huge and abundant scams in the US. How the fuck does there not exist a massive immune system against this? If the respective agencies are overwhelmed with detection, try tapping into wisdom of the crowd via whistleblower programs.
