Anyone getting chat spam from a supposed promoter?

I just received a come-on from a supposed "professional" promoter who can take my sales to new heights. Anyone else?

Yes, last mon I had someone promoting to me on chat so I blocked them, they came back later under another name with a biz logo, so I blocked them again.

Yes, I was getting them once every 2 or 3 weeks last year. I deleted them. The last one left an Instagram account. I looked and the account was locked. I deleted my Instagram account that night and haven't received another one. Mine were all "I can take your 'specific product' and mass produce" and make me a lot of money. 🙄

I wonder about people like that. Do they ever succeed at somehow extracting money from their targets? Do they run on the assumption that gullible folks are a gold mine? Over the years, I've met people in person who think they're capable of such things, and they always emit a telltale slimy aura. Ick.

I blocked the person but didn't realize I could also report him. Next time, I'll look a little closer.

not yet, thank goodness, but I'm sure my turn will come.
