🚨 Scammer warning

This account is direct messaging people from Gaza to try and scam them:

@elsyandewy

Attached is a screenshot of a direct message that one of our Gaza Verified members got.

The mind boggles. What kind of lowlife targets people who are already facing famine and genocide to rob them of the money they need to survive?

In any case, I’m about to report them to @staff and hopefully their account will be suspended as soon as possible.

If you want to support our Gaza Verified families, you can find them on https://gaza-verified.org

This person is ... hard to believe ...

"Hi, I’ve just seen your feedback regarding this item and I want to sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. This software was not from a pirate source—it’s a long-discontinued title. Once I realized it wasn’t GNU, I immediately delisted it from my shop. It’s no longer for sale, and I’d really appreciate it if you could kindly consider revising your feedback."

What a piece of work. Incredible.

A PSA about the #ebay seller "digistoremarket" they purport to sell #vintage #software like #os2 and such, but they just send you a CDR with pirated floppy images.

The listing does not make this clear at all, I ended up getting a full refund from ebay, so they handled it well, but the seller is still on the site selling the same scam software.
