    UPDATE: Faze Kay has been removed from Faze Clan. Faze Jarvis, Teeqo and Nikan have been suspended from Faze Clan as well.
    If you lost money to “SaveTheKids” Token, you can report it to www.IC3.gov, which goes to the FBI and FTC. Also you should report this to the SEC. You have been defrauded intentionally, and you deserve justice.

      The ic3 is useless. I got scammed on ebay when they had the ebay car warranty guarantee.. and ebay let a ton of people get scammed. I made a massive email and linked up to 2nd person who was sent a junk car but shown nice items. ic3 did nothing, I made and proved a whole court case with address of work of the scammers and all. They did not even send an automated email. Imagine the ic3 today is backed up heavy with blockchain scammers. Its pointless, truly.

Just look at commercials as an example of how these companies talk to us like we are 5 qnd try to ram their products down our throats. It's all brainwashing tactics.

We have LOTS of examples of Free Market running rampant and you know what we get? We get scammers. Free Market can never truly exist in the way libertarians imagine it because one monopoly/oligopoly will eventually dominate in some form or the other and act like "government".

      @Legomaster-jv8ll 2 года назад +94

      I mean, technically you’re right. The contract is null at that point.
      But look at it from a contractors perspective. On one hand, you know it’s a scam, but on the other, it’s a crypto scam. Crypto scams aren’t nothing new, in fact they’re common. Yet they’re unprotected most of the time. Why would this scam be any different.
      And to many, breaching a contract-even if the terms are illegal-is such an uphill battle that it might be preferable to just do the contract and throw the higher ups under the bus. It’s easy to say “well he shouldn’t have done it if it was illegal” but in reality, it’s more like “he should’ve risked going to court against a wealthier group, risking financial bankruptcy in lawyers fees”. Not saying it’s right, but I’m saying that it’s akin to shooting your self in the leg Vs poisoning yourself.
