^ this is a Venn Diagram showing people who would fall for that scam, and people who would be able to figure out how to buy Bitcoin if their lives depended on it.
They send them to those crypto ATMS so all they have to do is insert cash and type the address. The scammer is on the phone to assist them usually.
Apparently, the scammers are really good at helping people setup bitcoin. Yes, really.
I watched a video of a scam baiter recently. The scammer wanted playstation store credits or something. The baiter pretended to be an old lady that didn’t understand much. The scammer just had no patience at all. Calling her stupid in her face and all that. Apparently there are really bad scammers.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=_CCLbxVjBzc
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
This right here. There’s also Bitcoin vending machines in many larger cities. Scammers stay on the phone and walk them through step by step.
