This scam is approved and doesn't go against Google's policies

It was a video of someone pretending to tell you a secret: thanks to a new israeli app based on ai, it’s possible to make 8000 euro per month with trading by just opening an account with their referral and depositing 500 euro. 100% safe and definitely not a scam.

Maybe not a literal scam but imho deceiving people just because they’re going to give you $100 in referral money is a scam

Sounds like a pyramid scheme.

Probably not against Google TOS

More like a pig butchering scam. Kitboga recently “invested” real money for the first time in a QuantumAI scam so they would talk to him, and got some psychopath named Lana who talked to him about the scam for days until he kinda leaked who he was a lil bit and she ghosted.

Send the scam a hundred bucks, lose it, sue Google for fraudulent endorsement.

(Yes yes, this wouldn’t work in the real world against Google’s legions of lawyers, but I like the thought exercise)

Eh, they might settle in exchange for an NDA to avoid bad press.

Here’s the $0.03 for your individual class settlement.

$100 is small claims territory. Most jurisdictions, it’s against the rules to hire an attorney and must be represented by someone who has the authority to make a settlement.

That’s why you need adblock

But then I’ll miss out on all the life-enriching ads!

Reporting scams to Google is a waste of your time. If the company has any sort of manual review of the reports (I have my doubts), odds are that the review happens only if an item is reported by multiple people, and that the reviewers don’t spend more than five whole seconds checking it.

It smells of contractor (and subcontractor) work. At some point someone with very little latitude is reading poorly phrased directions.

You mean underpaid slave work in a third world country?

More like underpaid contractor in an at-will American state.
