This person friended me from an online game I played asking if I wanted to be paid to be a penpal. I’m familiar with a lot of phishing scams and other sorts of scams but I’ve never seen a scam like this one. What exactly is this person trying to get from me, are they hoping to infect my device with something sinister or are they trying to phish information from me without me knowing it? They seem to put a lotta emphasis on me VIEWING this photo they’re gonna send me and it makes me think that whatever they’re gonna send me must be infected with some sort of trojan. Can someone explain to me what’s going on here?


Ok, don’t do a thumbs up. But also don’t do a thumbs down either. Do one kind of halfway between up and down, where it’s kind of pointing to the side.
We innitially wanted something where your fingers make the shape of a T, but as it turns out, it is really really hard to move your fingers into the shape of a T. Try it. It’s akward, and painful, and it kinda sorta can be done…but also we hate it, so we decided on the thumb to the side thing. Easy to do, easy to read once you see it. That was the important part.
I feel like🖕would’ve worked fine (assuming you don’t otherwise make rude gestures at your mom).
