Woman reportedly scammed out of $750,000 by a fake Keanu Reeves. I just don’t get it:
Real Keanu really needs to wash his hair.
It seems to be working for him.
Whatchu talkin bout Willis? I betcha the hair is definitely a main factor of his appeal!
Evil Robot Ted strikes again.
In other news, [t]he Federal Trade Commission estimates that Americans lost at least $217 million to gift card scams last year.
I guess if you can get past the smell, it’s all good.
Ridiculous! Keanu loves only me.
Here’s another one with some pretty scary quotes from the willing victim. These people drive around in cars, have children, and vote.
Well it just so happens the K-man and I go wayyy back and I’ve got an extra $5000 ticket to his birthday celebration if you wanna buy from me…
Seems about the same level of dissociative mania (my inaccurate term for the difference between one’s ability to live one’s daily life in the world, and one’s willingness to hold at the same time utterly fantastic beliefs because they make you feel good) in a lot of Magats.
Chloe had access to a Bitcoin network where a portion of the money she had sent away was allegedly stored.
She explained: “They were visionaries of this currency and made me earn money that I could never withdraw because they told me that taxes had to be paid, which I did.
Oh, It’s that scam. The one where they gain your trust and get you to use a fake crypto app, and make it look like you’re making money, while constantly getting you to give more money to get it back out.
Did you hear that it was recently decided to remove the word “gullibility” from dictionaries?
Pig butchering I think.
Zeke Faux talks about pig butchering in Number Go Up. Apparently many of these scammers are victims of human trafficking. He actually went to Cambodia to see the compound where the slaves were kept. They were lured there with the promise of a good job and then held captive and forced to scam people.
So there are worse ways to be scammed.
How very sad.
ISWYDT! 
(Sigh) I guess people who fall for scams like this have never applied the “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” test in these situations.
Just the other day, I had this very conversation on Facebook with Taylor Swift.
Did she ask you for iTunes gift cards? (how could this woman think that the real Keanu Reeves would ask her for gift cards??)
No you didn’t.

I just asked her about this and she says she never heard of you.
It’s hard to have any sympathy for someone that stupid.
