It's not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it's meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago Ah. Gotcha. It's super annoying. I wish there was a way to block messages based on keywords, but this isn't really the purpose of Lemmy. I guess, neither is scamming people, but here we are. permalink fedilink source parent
