I have had to de-activate my social media accounts. Facebook was the worst for scammers and spammers and all-around annoying nasty 'commenters' who have nothing better to do than instigate every post they see. Facebook used to be a great thing as I had a lot of friends overseas so it was useful in keeping up to date with all my family and friends. I saw few ads and didn't even know about scammers when I opened my account way back in 2005 ~ over 20 years ago. I enjoyed it and it was an itegral part of my day.
But after I lost all of my friends and family,... Facebook lost it's meaning. It was no longer a tool to keep me connected. The whole platform had changed due to the advancement of internet scammers. And Facebook decided they would rather accept money for fake ads than protect the good and honest folk who used their site. Now it is just a cesspool of scammers trying every sneaky trick they can to get your data and your money. It now felt like a minefield of needing to protect myself from every post. NOTHING felt legit or real anymore. I saw few posts of the rare few friends I had left on there. For some reason my timeline was nothing but ads and posts from porfiles of fake people.
The whole platform seemed like a hunting ground for the greedy.
So I left. But somehow your messenger stays open on your phone. And can you believe that i am still getting harrassed by scamming ads that I reported and I guess they are coming after me.
Job Link 21 (they just delete each page and start a new one with a new number) and they message me 3 or 4 times a day in my inbox. If you do anything - they automatically resend over and over and over until you can't get rid and this is what happened. Even now - after I deactrivated my account - I am still getting messages from this Job Link scammer EVERY SINGLE DAY ~ MULTIPLE times a day. That is just out and out harrassement. Now,... I have to figure out a way to de-activate my messenger too although I thought I had already done that. Every time it just miracously opens back up again every time I get one of these scammers messages.
I DONT FEEL SAFE NOW ~ why is this scammer now coming after me PERSONALLY???
It's the same everywhere now. Every single time i buy anything - I feel like I am taking a gamble. Is it legit or a scam???? I can't buy in person anymore as I am isolated in my apartment all winter and can't get out. So I am forced to order everything I buy on-line. I don't feel safe or secure with any transaction I make on line anymore.
AI and the internet in general has become way too advanced and the greedy thieves and scammers are way ahead of the rest.
I feel like I am being paranoid but I DONT' TRUST ANYTHING ONLINE ANYMORE THAT I BUY. Every transaction - no matter how well researched for verification and authenticy - can be intercepted by scammers at any point in your sale. So I trust NOONE.
So I feel like a bit of a paranoid now. I can't trust anyone online.
I can't even trust what I am seeing on line as it is probobly AI generated. Some are badly made and you can see instantly but they are getting better and better so now we never know,....
I don't want to live in a world where I don't know what is real and what is fake,...
The only way I knew how to protect myself was to get off of all social media ~ which I have done ~ and only buy off Amazon and Walmart as they have refund policies I know they honour.
This world has become a minefield of scammers and thieves and nasty people. I had to hide away ~ completely isolate myself away - to feel safe. Tonya Halls no longer has ANY access to my life anymore. Facebook no longer has access to my life anymore. Infact, NOONE has access to my life anymore. MY CHOICE. When you get beaten up enough you stop going outside to play,....
