  One thing I didn't know until recently: after selling PayPal, Elon Musk put almost all of his money into Tesla and SpaceX. At one point, he reportedly had to borrow money just to cover personal expenses while trying to keep both companies alive. That's a level of conviction most people would never take. I've been keeping an eye on the SpaceX tokenized stock on BingX, and it's interesting to see how much attention it's getting now. Whether you're bullish or skeptical, SpaceX has become one of the most talked-about companies in the market. If you had the chance, would you buy into the story or wait for the hype to cool down?

  @Airbnb i was fraudulently charged for a purchase via my PayPal on June 26th. Your reps keep saying its an authorized charge without giving me any disclosure or details of the purchase. Its getting really frustrating. This is a gross negligence of security! Resolve the issue!!

  @Netvorkerinfo This was taken down I will try again. Let me explain something that we that buy these Proton and like software do not find out until it doesn't work. Support and its protocal and efficiency are always key. When they pull up my file it should have everything from what I purchased to how much was paid and what is left on the subscription. Ai can work but has limitations. When it is doing what only people should do it cost the people who buy your product too much time. and money. Proton Ai auto-charged me through PayPal it wasn’t a person. No signature, no box was clicked nothing. When I got a hold of PayPal they saw right away that I was charged for something I already had. Your ai assistant didn’t catch that. When PayPal connected with proton to talk about this they may have met ai too. Now both my email and VPN have been blocked. Why block my email? I use it daily. Its been a week now and no email or phone call from Proton. I must have 20 hours into this at this point. 20 X $50.00 - $1000.00 for a $100 dollars left in a software contract that Proton is blocking. Do you see where the cost of dealing with this is not worth the head ache? Its been almost a week and I cannot get into my email because you bl;ocked it to? Both services I have paid for through April 2027 and you are blocking them? Who does that and stays in business? I am likely speaking for hundreds that have similar issues with this or other products where a device software can become non functional. It was maybe an outside intruder that got through. I don’t know but don’t block something that is working and paid for ever. That is piss poor business and causes people to think twice before purchssing any of your products. If it eas ai that did it, its still on you and the money ai saved you that now is working against you. My account is a Pay Pal auto pay account that has had both paid up services now blocked that a person would have caught. I do not know how many support tickets show they’re froze out of their accounts becuse the account is in dispute blocked If I knew ahed of time thart if my VPN died and I needed it fixed it would end up costing me what I have been through I woukld never ever have purchased this. I still have not been contacted by Proton since havin g my Proton email being blocked. I hjave a contact incase that happens they copuld reach me yet nothing. People be careful what you purchase. Read independent reviews. I think Proton worked great until this event happened. A check of the bill, a linkm to a replacement Proton Plkuys thats paid up to April 2027 matching what I paid for shpould have been done in the first 15 minutes ion the first day.

  "We" in Multiscape was my uncle Ari (PayPal) and me, while I used usernames Niconi, Jami and Joni (who wasn't even my friend anymore, when I worked with Multiscape). Rune-Server shows domain name that a webclient-related YouTube video shows. The post is edited, but not recently.

  @kingpindegen @TiltRips Hi @kingpindegen , I'm having an issue with withdrawals. I added my PayPal details, but the platform is only showing the option to connect a US bank through Coinflow. I'm from India, so I can't use a US bank account. Could you please let me know if PayPal withdrawals are supported for Indian users or if there's another withdrawal method available? Thank you!

  @MissTeeandMoo I mean hanging around the 18 year olds that were unhoused and trying to make a quick buck off of them during hurricane season a few years ago and claim she didn't have any money to give them after raking in superchats/paypal money should tell you that. Pulling a stunt like that in the state of Florida. I understand Rosie is *relatively* new to Florida and she doesn't leave the house unless its something that can benefit her like getting a PO box for her amazon wishlist (continue the grift years later). But she should have known that there are resources, if she *really cared* about helping people. Like aound the time she was helping them, according to the timeline of that feederism website she was on, she was new to Florida to begin with. She would have been the last person I would ask for help from when she could have done so many other things like take them to Career Source to help them find actual resources, set them up with My Access Florida to help them get TANF/SNAP, take them to the schools that doubled as a shelter during the hurricanes. But instead? She gathered money under the pretense she was claiming she helped them, made the claim that she was going into 'red' and then blocked them and is still making excuses as to why she did what she did. It's disgusting. I've been in Florida for a majority of my adult life after moving down here from New York and honestly? I would have been a better lifeline for those youths because I know how to navigate all that stuff. If they didn't have their education, I would have even went as far as to get them into a free charter school that would have been open to them until they were 24 years old so they could graduate. Even with that they only had to physically attend a class a day and the rest could be online. I would have told them that there are certain farmer markets that are open on Saturday that they could get more bang for their SNAP while helping local famers in the process when some of the farmer markets will take a dollar of EBT and match that so they could double the amount to put towards their monthly food. If you're going to claim to HELP people, don't ******* half *** it just to see how you can attempt to groom someone's children just to make a quick buck off of them and then say "oh well I was going into red myself but at least I gave them a few nights at a motel." That's NOT HELPING. Especially when there are ministries available that help people who would happily keep them off the streets and not be used, especially to this day, as monetization on YouTube. She has this fake savior complex and I wish she would leave this Florida like she is planning on doing because she has contributed nothing to this state outside of scamming people who live here.

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok? The Rune-Server thread that mentions the link of Multiscape forums the YouTube video not posted by Jami but what mentions Joni as the owner mentions in its description mentions Jami as the owner. The Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner is as much truth as the YouTube video mentioning Joni as the owner in the end credits. Neither can be proven wrong. The edit to the reply wasn't recent, meaning there's no proof that it wasn't made when the RSPS was ran by Jami. Thus, objectively speaking, Jami and Joni were both owners of the same RSPS. It would be wrong to claim that Jami wasn't one of the owners of Multiscape 317 with a webclient.

  @GrassFedBitcoin And yet activation is no where near where it was at this time with segwit, 0.2% vs 30%. This is because 110 does not have technical consensus and is being rushed through under the guise of an "emergency" with an activation threshold so slow it can only be considered an attack. Bitcoin is permissionless, censorship resistant money, not paypal. Enjoy your bcash jr fork.

  If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  small list off the top of my head. - paypal claims for ppl trying to scam (locks up money for 3-4 weeks) - people being lazy about shipping and waiting days / weeks without sending out the cards I bought - cards getting stuck in transit or looping in the USPS system for weeks with me having nothing to show for my money. (not the sellers fault necessarily) - sending $ and then getting refunded after days / weeks just due to whatever circumstance might come up - people sending empty packages & having to open paypal claims & fight to get my money back (& having my $ locked up for weeks) - people forgetting to add 1-2 cards within the package and then having to track down those cards & then get those shipped in a diff box at a later date. i’m sure there are a few others that i didn’t mention.

  The Classic Playbook Bait (The Hook) They post mouth-watering food pics/videos + Complaints about high prices. Offer “half price”, “first meal free/taco free”, or “I’ll order it for you cheaper”. Use friendly animal persona or helpful vibe to build quick trust. Post on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook — often cross-promoting the same content. The Ask Tell you to DM them to “place the order”. They quote a discounted price. Request payment via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal “friends/family”, crypto, or gift cards (methods with little/ no buyer protection). The Execution Once you pay → They either: Ghost you completely (take the money and disappear). Send fake tracking or “order placed” screenshots. Claim “restaurant issue” and ask for more money. Occasionally deliver one small thing (the “free” first order) to hook you for bigger payments later. They use stolen accounts or newly created ones to stay under the radar. Why it works so well People are hungry + frustrated with prices. “First one free” lowers defenses. Looks like a helpful small side hustle. Scammers rotate accounts quickly before reports pile up. Red Flags Specific to These Scams Brand new account with few followers. No real business website or verifiable info. Pushes DM payments instead of official apps. Vague about how they get the deals (“I have connections”). Avoids showing real recent proof (timestamped receipts + deliveries). Real-World Impact Victims lose $20–$100+ per “order”. Many lose hundreds chasing “refunds” or second orders. Scammers often use the money for gift cards/crypto that’s hard to trace. How to Protect Yourself & Others Only order through official restaurant apps or established delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.). If a deal sounds too good and requires paying a random person → it’s a scam. Report the accounts. Share this breakdown when you see suspicious “cheap food” posts.
