The problem with using a fake name is that eventually, (it may take years) you will get mail at your home with your fake name on it. Somehow someone connects the dots and causes this to happen. I used to get mail addressed to "Mr. Bat" and I had to move a few times before they stopped showing up.I have a fake name and fake number on hand for that.
I moved into an apartment and found mail from Comcast addressed to "Grifty Coon". I wonder if that followed him.The problem with using a fake name is that eventually, (it may take years) you will get mail at your home with your fake name on it.

My grandpa too. He would buy stamps or coins from these brochures he'd get mailed to him. He told me, "when I'm gone this will be yours". Eventually we had to have a talk with him about wasting his money, which kind of made me wonder about the ethics of telling an elderly person to stop spending their money on things. He stopped eventually.My sweet old grandmother used to buy me a lot of food from qvc up until maybe 4 years ago. That stuff was crazy expensive, and a mixed bag, it was a lot of those kansas city steak co types of places. She could not be talked out of sending that stuff.
My grandma got scammed on coins as well. One of the reasons those people were so successful was because a lot of old people remembered back when coin collecting was seen as an actual investment but those people that target olds were just crooks. She always used to talk about how nice the sales people were like they were actual friends or family.My grandpa too. He would buy stamps or coins from these brochures he'd get mailed to him.

I think it's a combination of things. The elderly are preyed on to buy useless things, but they do it mostly to buy something for their family in a gesture of love, and maybe to feel useful.

When I die, I'm having a sackful of coins dropped on my head by you, apparently.When I die, I'm having a sackful of wheat pennies dropped on your head by the highest bidder from n-g.com.

Like I said it was a good question on ethics.Yeah grandpa, stop spending your money on things you might enjoy so that when you're dead I can use it to buy a bitchin' Camaro.

Same applies to Facebook click baitI go back to ordering product from TV ads and being offered COD as a method of payment and haven't done so in like FOREVER so I see an ad on TV for Tac shaver. What the hell,I'll give them a call..I call up and a ROBOT is there to take my order. The robot asks me questions and I try to answer each one until sh8t started going sideways...
Anyway the questions:
ROBOT-If you want shaver state,yes.OK
ROBOT-If you want the second shaver at a discount,state yes.OK
ROBOT-What are you paying with.we accept Debit or credit card.OK
ROBOT-Please give us your credit information.OK(I use a cc with a small limit on purpose being apprehensive right out the gate) OK
ROBOT-They trace my phone# to verify it's me. OK
ROBOT-Would you like to give us an e-mail so we can notify you when we ship.NO(I gave you enough already,I don't need the spam filling up my box)
ROBOT-would you like the battery and charger for xxxx amount of dollars? (My so called discount is erased due to the cost of the charger no bttery so..)OK can we get this over with already,the deal is not really a deal but it looks like a good product.
ROBOT-would you like to purchase x amount of blades, we will send you blades every month automatically unless you call a certain 800# to cancel ?NO (I'd like to try the item out first before I get invested in it like that) can we end this already!
NOW WE GO OFF THE RAILS...
ROBOT-we re going to send coupons from Walmart and 3 different magazine subscriptions and you will be automatically billed every month unless you call a certain 800# to cancel..NO
ROBOT-we still want to send you free gifts and thank you for your patience so we would like to offer you BLAH BLAH BLAH and bill your cc
FUCK THIS SH8T! I just hang up the phone...Magazine subscriptions? WTF you want to bill me every month for some miscellaneous bullsh8t and I just want the shaver.
My how things have changed...
I'll be checking to see if they billed me or not.. My cc may just come up lost to detach those bastards from having my cc info.
What a SCAM!

I've never done social media and proud of the fact. Their just information gathering hubs that the people legitimize as being something so great. My social media was calling BBS's all over the country,conference calls ,conversations with cool folks in the UK,Denmark,Sweden,Puerto Rico,Germany,etc.Same applies to Facebook click bait
