Post-Game Talk: Bagel City Jets 3 - Avs 0

  • Work is still on-going to rebuild the site styling and features. Please report any issues you may experience so we can look into it.
Probably the same person with two accounts. Maybe they are still here with a third account and enjoying the notoriety.

This thought has occurred to me as well.

All accounts are on notice :sarcasm:

But as to the why, it's anyone's guess. It feels like social engineering, where someone engages with a group of unsuspecting people hoping to compile a list of personal things some people might reveal about themselves, and compile it into a database.

There's two (possibly more) end goals:

1) Collect personal information to later attempt phishing and other potential account compromisation, like credit card accounts, bank account, etc. Remember those security questions that some of those sights ask like mother's maiden name? If you let information slip about who you are, and they look you up on social media, and learn that information. Easier to compromise now.

Other variations are to clone LinkedIn accounts, pretend to be you and connect with your coworkers, thus learning about your company.

2) Blackmail. This case had a pretty young "lady" in a room full of men. So you might get a catfishing situation, where messages are exchanged, maybe embarassing ones that you wouldn't want to get out. Once enough has been collected, then that person gets extorted.

There's likely other possible reasons, but it ultimately comes down to dirty ways to make money.

The fact that both accounts were doing this for 2 years really blows my mind. That's pretty hardcore.

As all of our chequing accounts are being drained today due to the two years of personal information we have accidentally divulged...
 
I have always assumed that most people here are trending to tallish, ruddy-faced jocular middle-aged dudes featuring semi-permanent smiles with a proclivity to nonsequiturs and santa claus beards, and a head of hair to match who harbour love of many fish species with a distinct subpopulation that may look like @sipowicz, or @Jets 31, @The Blue Baron (gold paint on game day for a certain cohabiting football squad). Oh, and a love of public silly walking, and a handicap of 22.

Fixed it for you. :)
 
In terms of scams though... where is the payday here?

damned if I know. lol. I mean Some of the suggestions being offered make sense I guess, but it still seems pretty wild when you consider that there was actually SOME relevant discussion re: hockey at times so whoever the scammers were they were putting in some time actually following the games to a degree. And the length of time is wild too...
 
Dammit, you figured it out! :laugh:

The funniest part about that is.. what well off, independent woman with a B.A and an M.A who travels 4 days a week, attends swanky closed-door conferences and dinners, and maintains a promiscuous, catty lifestyle filled with hot dates every weekend would be a Jets fan.
My daughter's is in her late 20s, so I am very aware of the online attention-seeking in this demographic. Fortunately, my daughter is focused on other causes, but if you are a young single woman living in a new city and seeking male attention, this is one place to go. And Inanna got a lot of attention--way too much IMO--from (visible) likes to PMs (invisible, but I'm presuming). Her writing style and wit were consistent with someone with a literature degree and I never cared enough to fact-check, since I saw right away that there was a lot of inventiveness in her story-telling. So what--is lying about your family details worse than some of the other liberties posters take with other posters on this anonymous board? This is partly a fantasy world and people are gonna make stuff up.

As for "Stumbly", again, I found his persona interesting and plausible. He took flack for some of his politically incorrect statements about hot women, but this is very common in his (late 70s/80s) demographic. I didn't totally get his behaviour, but he seemed almost too naive and vulnerable to phishing, so I don't know how his character could have added to any nefarious multi-character plot.

Look, if this was all a scam to get money from gullible men, it wouldn't be a surprise in the least. But this board rushes to judgement all too often and has really pounced on this one. If Inanna and Stumbledore disappear forever then the harshest of judgements will rule. But keep in mind that public shaming by your community is kryptonite for lots of young people and that is also a reason to leave Dodge and never come back.

I had an inkling that Inanna came here to help generate interest off-site, maybe redirect men to OnlyFans, or something along those lines. Like people starting out YouTube channels during the pandemic - comic books, sports cards, NBA channels, etc - there's a lot of competition, and the market became saturated. If she's real, that's a smart play. Mostly men come here, so who's her competition?

I found it odd that she'd (IMO) take offense to men highlighting women from '70s/'80s TV shows (some from the Jiggle-Television era), when most of those women are +70 years old or deceased. What's she worried about? Anita Ford or Cheryl Ladd are about to steal her man?

I had 0.50% stock in that she was Stumbledore. That percentage went up recently.

I assumed that he met her, and he suggested her to come to a place like this.

If he is handling multiple accounts, and if he is 87 years old, that's extremely impressive (at that age) that he can play the part of a woman who's roughly 60 years younger than him.

I have my own theory that matches about 50% of yours here.

As for the actual Jets news of Stanley being above Fleury I imagine that's because this is the 1st practice for Fleury in a non contact since his injury.
