     @alicemcalicepants @TheBreadmonkey @LoganFive The sad part is that there are people out there so addled that these messages work. We have no protections for them.

     I learned something new. I had a woman start DMing me out of the blue. It’s obviously the start of a scam, so I’m messing with the person. And then she types “Alaye” in the chat. I looked it up and it’s a word scammers use to identify each other. So if they say “Alaye,” and you say it back, it means “OK, we’re both scammers. We can stop wasting time and try to scam someone else.”

     How crazy is that?
