It was a video of someone pretending to tell you a secret: thanks to a new israeli app based on ai, it’s possible to make 8000 euro per month with trading by just opening an account with their referral and depositing 500 euro. 100% safe and definitely not a scam.

Maybe not a literal scam but imho deceiving people just because they’re going to give you $100 in referral money is a scam

    Reporting scams to Google is a waste of your time. If the company has any sort of manual review of the reports (I have my doubts), odds are that the review happens only if an item is reported by multiple people, and that the reviewers don’t spend more than five whole seconds checking it.

      A friend worked at one of these shady contractor houses google uses.

      Your 5 seconds isn’t too far off, but add in a crusty failomatic gig time-clock taking 53 seconds to start your one-minute task timer, and you’re there.

      It smells of contractor (and subcontractor) work. At some point someone with very little latitude is reading poorly phrased directions.

          “Latitude” can mean freedom of choice, or scope of work, rather than position on the Earth. I think he’s saying that it looks like the work of some low-level employee just doing what they’re told without thinking much about it.

      And if you mention in a review that a business did something illegal they will silently hide your review from the public but still show it to you if you’re logged in. Happened to me once. Confirmed my theory by removing the word “illegal” and it showed back up in a few minutes in my private tab.

      edit: lol someone downvoted this.
