Imagine a world, where people walk into your business with a mask over their face saying horribly abusive things... while pretending they are your neighbors...

Imagine a world, where people walk into your business with a mask over their face saying horribly abusive things... while pretending they are your neighbors... And poof... they automatically vanish along with their garbage content.
They may visit again, but are less likely to mess with the platform. Note, cons never buy anything... ever... it is against their temperament.
I find it interesting several of cons on YC are upset by someone else's administrative policies. Reddit should enforce these policies too, or at least drop a country or pirate flag icon beside nasty posts...
Have a great day, and don't fear the ban hammer friend =3
- thephyber 2y agoWhat is the term “cons” you use here?
- Joel_Mckay 2y agoIn this context, a few users are scraping YC profile information to attempt various scam/wire-fraud schemes against community members. 1. masquerading as YC associated organizations 2. attempting to extract banking information with classic 419'er tactics 3. spamming member contact routes with several phone and email Grifts These folks appear to be operating on a 4 month cycle, and redistributing target leads to other fraudsters. Annoying, but hardly a problem limited to YC if that is your concern. Best of luck, =3
