Was für ein perfider Werbe-Scam gerade eben in meiner YouTube-App, der unmittelbar nach öffnen der App auf dem Bildschirm auftaucht. 🤬

Es handelt sich hier in Wahrheit um gesponserte Werbung für eine App. Ich würde es fast schon eher #scam oder #phishing nennen, denn die Werbung gibt vor eine Systemmeldung meines Handys zu sein.
Man merkt erst wenn man hochscrollt, das das ganze Teil einer Werbung ist.

Laßt Euch nicht verwirren.

$10.billion Housing Australia Fund Is it DOING enough?
Why ? is the Fund NOT investing DIRECTLY in fasttracking home building and/or mortgage relief ?  This would immediately stimulate sectors of the economy such as builders and suppliers. Plus the new homes would be provided FAST.

Die "Unlimited" Tarife von #1und1 fühlen sich schon irgendwie wie ein #scam an.
Außerdem für alle die die "+1 GB" option auch nicht finden können, diese gibt es AUSSCHLIEßLICH in der iOS und Android App. Das wird beim Vertragsabschluss nicht erwähnt.

@realTuckFrumper Speaking of... Because you have to be asleep to believe it.

"WASHINGTON—Noting that millions have already fallen victim... the FBI warned Monday of the ‘#AmericanDream’ scam. “Reports are coming in all across the country of Americans who were promised great #prosperity and #success in exchange for a lifetime of hard work, only to find themselves swindled and left with virtually nothing,” said agent Dean Winthrop..."

@Rural_Canadian

I took this photo of former farmland near Stratford a few days ago.

Similar 'development' by many small towns out this way.

Feels weird finding hunks of Mississauga or Vaughn or Oakville in these little places.

As to 'affordability' ... totally!*

* if you've got steady/paid-enough work and savings for downpayment and a mortgage typically not below $650k; if not, please get your bicycle out of my two F150s' way thank you kindly

If you ever see “com-track” in a link, delete the text immediately per the FBI’s advice. It’s a scam. Similarly, “com-toll” is another new entry on the list and you can expect more of the same to be added quickly as these others take hold.
