- jdminhbg 17y agoThe problem is that his specific technical examples are the reason he's seeing these scammers. He's looking for a fix to to the problem of "using too much memory," which, since it's not a real problem, doesn't have a real solution. If I went from garage to garage looking for someone to take care of the issue that my car is causing too much downstream turbulence, I'm sure I could find a scammer to fix it for me.
