Tinder Scams Thread
What is the point of some of these scams? They are run via bots, some seem to be autonomous others seem to be actual people running them but operating them in a way that would make them seem like they are a bot.
>pic related
It's fairly easy to tell who is a bot and who is not just from looking at the profile and pictures. Generally bots are empty profiles with some too much makeup too tan cleavage shot photo stolen from some Instagram selfie whore. Some are more sophisticated and fill in profile information...

What I am trying to identify and I'm looking for input here. As to what the end game is for these bot scams type operations. Tindmeet seems to be a clickbait dating site that probably steals credit card information. However I can see too many people actually falling for that.
Some of the accounts will carry on a small conversation before dropping the link or phone number, actually answering questions correctly and such, leading me to believe someone is actually physically using the account.
Generally with online dating scams your pretend to be a girl and see after a certain time of chatting and possibly even sending nudes you found online, request bus fare via WU for a meetup or stuff from an Amazon wishlist. If convincing enough, it is generally pretty easy to do. Was much more popular prior to video chat and skype. I just can't seem to find an explanation as to what the point is if its barely a profitable scheme.
What is everyone's experience with Tinder bots, is anyone running one?
Bump for interest

I joined in on a thread earlier, and someone suggested I post it in /biz/ after that one got deleted or hit image limit. So here I am.
Ask me anything.

Oops, meant to post this one, I just took the one in my OP like 20 mins ago.
What do you usually do at around 10 am every day?

Is it worth buying followers and likes on Instagram to 'kick start' a business? Like selling merchandise and stuff?
For only $30 I can literally buy 20,000 followers, and they will be fake, but people will see my pictures in the popular section because they're getting so many likes, and then they'll look at my account more, and maybe follow or like the pictures. Also, you can buy likes as well, and 500 or so likes per picture, will cost like $1.20, which isn't a lot if I'm only uploading like every 2 or 3 days. ($10 a month basically). It...

Thought about this recently too. Thinking about starting a small scale business with Instagram being the main platform and was thinking the same thing about my pictures of product being on the discover page.
>>965553
No. This is like asking if its worth buying upvotes on Reddit. What is the point if you aren't engaging with your target market?
>>965675
Just to get exposure, my target market would be teenagers and young adults. (Trendy clothing) so that's basically everyone on Instagram, which means I just need "exposure".
/biz/ I need your help, what are you some realistic options for a new canadian engineer grad?

I paid $1.69 for regular unleaded gasoline in Ft. Worth, TX, today.
Gasoline producers are worried about net-back pricing being announced on December 4.
So, the sell-off begins. Hang on, /biz/

Are you saying gas prices are going up or going down? I'm confused.
http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude.html
This link is to the CME page on oil futures. The prices are clearly expected to rise and since F(P)=E(r), then this is not a good reason to sell off.
I need some advice.
My dad is rather successful in real estate and I've been living off his dime. I'm 23 years old and have spent almost every day since I finished highschool playing videogames and watching Tibetan elephant paintings. I have absolutely zero business experience and have never had a job in my life.
Yesterday my dad told me I'm his only son and his biggest dissapoitment in life. He told me that for Christmas he is going to give me one million dollars and if I can't show him two million by the end of next year he never wants to see...

The last one of these was absolutely hilarious.
So, /biz/ what little things do you do to save money and extend your dollar?
For example, I bury my shit in the yard instead of wasting money on a toilet.
I save up my cum and drink it as a cheap protein drink.
I go to country festivals dressed in army attire because all the white trash idiots there buys me free drinks since they think I served, which I don't. No fucking way I'll be spending $10 for a fucking beer in your regular shit nightclub.

Do you ever encounter some hick screaming, "STOLUN VALUR!!!11!!!"
If so, how do you deal with the situation when you are called out for not actually being part of SEAL Team Six.
Rent is too damn high. How about leasing an office and secretly living in it? Just say that you work 24/7 because it's a startup business.
>Fight my logic.
>>963250
illegal
>>963251
There's been studies that show that people break the law on average of 5-10 times a day without even knowing it.
Also, smoking weed is illegal. Downloading copyrighted torrents is illegal. Basically every 4chin supports doing is illegal.
how much does it cost to lease an office?
How would I inspect an office building prior to make sure I could live there without anyone knowing about it
If I need to provide a bank statement as proof of address, does the paper it's issued on matter?
i.e. are photocopies or printed scans acceptable?
How about printed eStatements, for that matter?
Probably depends on where you're applying to, best to ask them
Some places may ask for a certified copy, some will be fine with a photocopy/scan, and some will only accept originals
no idea about estatements, since they aren't posted they don't really prove an address, but maybe they're acceptable.
Actually, it doesn't matter what type of paper or even the means by which it is printed.
Hence, I do my bookkeeping with a halt-eaten crayon and a wide-ruled notebook with the boxtop on it. Be cool, help your school.

1) How do you withdraw money from an index fund account such as Vanguard? Do you just get mailed a check for like $100,000?
2) I know Vanguard deals with over 3 trillion USD, what exactly stops a rogue worker or someone in their company from stealing money?
>>961523
>3 trillion
>what stops them from getting robbed?
Exactly that. They have financial power equal to a world bank; they simply call up the employee's bank and say "he doesn't actually own that, return it" and they will.
If I start an LLC, I have to declare an income that the IRS says is competitive. Wtf does that mean and why can't I just not take a salary to put it in the business?

Hello /biz/, I'm 19 years old and want to buy this megayacht called Serene in less than two years time.
It costs $330m and consequently $30-40m per year to operate, so I would need atleast $50m residual profit coming in each year to continue using the yacht.
Charter price is $5m per week.
How do I accomplish this? I have about $5000 as of now and am unemployed.
All ideas are greatly welcomed.
>>932593
The $330 million is just a label created by the bourgeois to control the means of yacht ownership. What you have to do then is gather the most unprivileged people in France (e.g biker gangs) and march to Monaco in a campaign of liberation. When Monaco is free from the domination of capitalism, there will no longer be a price label on the yacht, but rather, it is now a yacht of the people. But only you get to use it, because you are the most equal among equals.

It's owned by the russian billionaire Yuri Scheffler, the owner of Stolichnaya Vodka.

invest all of it in pennystocks, then take your profits and invest them in pennystocks again. repeat until you are billionaire. its really simple.
How much do employers really look into your background, and how much would they really care about non-"politically correct" stuff?
I run an online gaming community which I have a lot of work invested in and it showcases my technical skills well. However, the game is of a "no-rules" nature and people who play on it are often vulgar and racist. Is this something that may be an issue?
I imagine any company that checks into it is going to see you as a possible liability and assume you'll go on a racist tirade.
But who the fucks going to say "anon worked at XXXX lets play his game!"

If it's in North America then probably quite a bit desu with how things are nowadays.
As long as it's not over the top then it should be fine, since they probably(I hope but who knows) realize that users are responsible for the content posted and not you.

Considering that I see everything from help with homework to child porn on this website, I'd rather not risk it.

What universities do you recommend to pursue business program where I'll be able to afford my tuition/cost of living
seriously, I'm considerably poorer than my friends and I'm wondering if I should even bother applying to these big instate schools like they are (UDelaware, Penn State, UMaryland, etc)
You'll get a lot of aid, if not have it all paid for.
It would probably help if you stayed in-state.

I got a text today saying "Heyyo". Turned out to be some chick for a warehouse job I applied to. Not sure which one because I applied to numerous. They want to interview me tomorrow and she asked me to tell her about myself, what exactly do I say? Graduated in 2010, attended college 4 years after High school but dropped out because I wasn't sure what I really wanted to do? Not nervous about the interview even it's my first, but not sure what to tell her. Advice?
