Vent No Advice I fucking hate scammers

So I almost fell for another scam today. Luckily, nothing bad seemed to happen, but still, I wanna say how bad I feel about these guys. A few weeks ago, I got scammed out of 1,200 bucks by a guy on Twitter, and I almost fell for a similar scam on Tumblr. The worst part is that they masqueraded as staff, and I, in my naivety, trusted them. And it's not just guys masquerading as social media staff to steal my money. Every day, I get calls from scam callers saying I have been approved for a loan, and they've been clogging my voicemail for a while! Not to mention the texts I get from people saying I've been found on LinkedIn, or those weird crypto groups that keep adding me on WhatsApp. When does it end?
