A good scammer will always makes you feel smarter or better than others.
All readers here are aware of the greatest scams in history. The foundation of the Federal Reserve1 earns the title of getting away with the greatest loot, and the scamdemic if the greatest worldwide scam, with such reputable candidates as the UN, The Hague, the WHO, the WEF, or Rockefellerian “Medicine.” All these organizations and initiatives have created a large number of victims, who are now realizing that they are totally defenseless and are desperate to find a way out of the dark.
Let me enlarge on that and single out a few potential scams that are sometimes hard to recognize or turn down, especially after people have become clueless and desperate as victims.
You can receive an e-mail or even a letter on behalf of a legitimate organization that has been and is helping out people. Next, the message is asking for money, but if you check it out, the recipients of your donation are not linked to the people with the good deeds.
Collections are also operated by millionaires (RFK, Jr. and Steve Kirsch come to mind), who don’t need your money (although I’m sure they don’t mind getting it), but build on the psychological twist that once you invest into something, you’ll have a hard time admitting you’ve made a mistake, so will do your best to justify your investment and end up protecting a party that is not deserving of your trust or your support.
The same applies to all non-profits whose functions exceed money laundering. NGOs are a good example.
For that matter, charities must be evaluated with caution as well:
I have written before about miracle cures by bottom-feeders who are exploiting gullible, desperate, and clueless people, usually direct or indirect victims of the injections or chemtrails (but the list of harmful sources is endless):
Snake-oil salespeople abound and usually approach you using the traditional allopathic paradigm, according to which your body is what matters and it can be treated as a cauldron in a witch’s kitchen: you add a little bit of this and a little bit of that to the brew, while most of the stuff comes from unknown sources or from the mass-murdering pharmaceuticals, whose synthetic products are now openly in question, because they are more and more likely to contain undisclosed harmful ingredients. In this sense, “healing” might be only a myth altogether:

Bottom-feeders often use religion in order to gain your trust and, well, gain access to your money.
Recently, I analyzed the pep talk, marketing strategy, and “scientific” background of a new product, Blushield (only the second half of the first article is related and I added a paragraph to the second article a few minutes ago). Take a look and make your own decisions2:

There are also job scams:

Of course, you should always cover your bank card at checkouts to be protected from hidden cameras (and never show the back with the security code), you must never pay by check or money order in advance to shady businesses, never click on an unknown link in an e-mail or text message (or load images from unknown sources), or answer the phone when you don’t know who is calling3 (just your saying “Yes” can be recorded and used against you on sites with voiceprints). Oh, and you must never forget the exiled Nigerian prince, who is asking you for a few thousand dollars in advance so that you can receive millions, but that scam is at least founded on human greed and stupidity, not desperation4, as the latest trends tend to. Don’t be a victim, who ends up with less than this T-shirt or with a poisoned T-shirt:

Feel free to add to the list. I’m sure there is plenty more5.
Peddling ivermectin and the like has also become business even on Substack, while it’s anything but safe since it became permitted to prescribe:

When I pointed this out for the “2nd Smartest Guy,” I was banned for life.
Here are a few old-fashioned utility scams:
The muzzling and the PCR testing also humiliated people to the extent that their self-esteem suffered. These victims often protect their torturers as a result of Stockholm syndrome, but they also have a harder time to communicate with others in a respectful manner. People with low self-respect are easy to manipulate or coerce into doing something they would have never done before.
Unless I’m mistaken, I started encountering articles on Substack, and they look like they have been written by AI. There are a few option, with ChatGTP taking the lead:

You can recognize the ruse by observing various levels of technicality and English proficiency exhibited by the same “author.”
Thank you Ray. By proxy Snake oil gets so much bad wrap these days.
It was brought in by Chinese and from what I've read, was a rather successful remedy. The phrase "snake oil salesmen" has proven itself very useful indeed.
Thank you Ray and your wonderful lady for keeping on the fight.
I’m surprised 2nd Smartest Guy banned you, and for what, just stating your opinion, and without any explanation? I will say this about Ivermectin: As a former Army medic, nurse, and well-rounded farmer, I’m very familiar with Ivermectin and have never known anyone or any animal to react negatively to it, but I’m not prepared to go to war over the shit, or any persons choices, unless they insist I gotta take the it, like the bloody compulsory Vaxx protocols from Hell. I’d rather just insist on honest labels and demand freedom and choice for all. Period. Problem solved. Just Don’t Shed On Me, bitch, or tread on me, or point a gun at me…and we’re totally cool.
But I’ve got you beat on getting banned, Ray. Several months ago I said, “F%$K” (spelled exactly like that) in Steve Kirsch’s chat, and in less than 5 minutes I received a message stating he banned me for Life, plus 100 years. Seriously. Though I can’t be sure that’s why I received such a harsh ban because he never expressed a reason for it. But after I had time to look into Steve’s social-policies, it occurred to me the banning probably had more to do with my Substack in general; me calling out Silverstein and blaming Israel for 9/11 and other Jews like Bill Gates for the Scamdemic—as if I’m responsible for why so many Jews are so guilty for so much evil in the world. I’m sure that if Silverstein or Gates were Mexican, Cuban, Russian or Chinese, the Zionist-controlled press would never let up blaming and referring to them with one of those national-racist labels in every published article.
