My introduction

[Larry Hutchings]

I'd like to start with a post reviling the scammer behind the Kate Evens, Evens Kate Amy Evens and @user4475989987) on tic toc I have done a very deep dive into this as Yes I fell for it and Now I intend to bring the person behind these scams to light and hope that someone not only in Social media will look at this and see what it is their allowing to be done with the platforms and yes I know the difficulty in filtering out these bad actor's but damn it someone needs to track these individuals down and see that they pay for their crimes and not just sit back and allow this criminal behavior continue. Below are the screen shot's of the latest on this continuing scam and the first is the actor behind this scam and the second is the latest profile posting on tic toc that move to to this new user account and lastly the face behind it all

Terribly sorry to hear you’ve been scammed.

Keep in mind this is a very old and well known scheme.

This is not the real person on these pictures, scammers often lure victims into providing access to their profiles. After that they lock the victims out and the victims often don’t act quickly enough to regain control.

When this is not the case, scammers download pictures.

So again, the person on these pictures most likely hasn’t got anything to do with these scams.

Your favourite McAfee antivirus has a special chatbot that can be used to discuss and detect scam in social media and text messages.

The “Free Money Giveaway” scam, as seen on one of the pictures posted. One of the more common scams on social media. I’ve confronted some of these scammers, one of them wanted to befriend me and put me in the scheme. I usually ask them how’s <one specific capital city>. Some of them block, others wanna engage.

Is it possible to extend your McAfee license for another year if you already have one?

Is it possible to extend your McAfee license for another year if you already have one?

It is possible by contacting support. You can purchase the extension (it has to be the same product) from a third party.

#1 rule of everything in life. If it sounds too good to be true. It is.


Why would anyone give money away to a total stranger?

Rich people are not stupid. If they want to give money away then they will give a philanthropic donation so it's both tax deductible and their name is immortalized.

Oh and that's not a picture of the person that scammed you. That's probably some innocent schmuck. I would black out the picture lest you accidentally get some innocent person in trouble.
