Open social media platforms like X are full of monsters and demons, so be careful of fraud.

Recently, on X, I've been looking at more investment-related posts than reselling ones, and perhaps because of that, more and more investment posts are being displayed, making up nearly half of my feed.

I'm being targeted...

But when I look closely, there are so many scam-like posts.

It's a common theme, but just like in the reselling community, the fundamental premise is that no one is going to give you huge profits for free.

In terms of investments, posting guaranteed winning stocks on X every day is, logically speaking, impossible.

The post I saw this time had a scam-like name to begin with (something like a professional wrestling ring name), and when I looked it up, they had been arrested twice in the past. It seems true that they graduated from the University of Tokyo, though.

I heard that if you register on LINE, you can get a book, so I tried registering. However, since a phone number and email address were required for registration, I entered them, and then I started receiving newsletters. Lol

This is illegal.

It's called opt-in regulation, and signing someone up for a newsletter without their consent is a violation of the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions.

Will there be a third arrest? Lol

By the way, here is the official LINE account I registered with.

The question is, why is the account of someone who holds seminars and publishes books an unverified account?

It really reeks of something fishy.

Well, I'm just registering out of curiosity, but I wonder what kind of notifications I'll get next.

X really is a gathering place for monsters and demons.

Scammers are always lurking in businesses that are easy to get into, such as reselling, stocks, and FX, targeting gullible people who react mindlessly to sloppy, lying posts.

To avoid becoming a victim, you must be skeptical from the start.

Why would this person share such a lucrative opportunity for free?

Why are they going out of their way to direct people to an official LINE account?

This person is posting this, but is it even legal or compliant with the terms of service in the first place?

No matter how many followers someone has, you should take what they say with a grain of salt and make it a habit to look things up for yourself first.

Otherwise, you will get scammed.

For example, I wrote an article about this on my blog.

It was about a post on X suggesting that since no-brand product listings are being deleted on Amazon, you should register a trademark and sell them as your own brand as a countermeasure.

Anyone with knowledge would immediately know that is a no-go, but looking at the post, there were many people mindlessly reacting with things like, 'I didn't know you could do that! Thank you!'

They are all going to crash and burn, you know?

Recently, even the media has a tendency to just regurgitate secondary information without doing any primary research, and I think that is truly dangerous.

There is a risk of spreading false information without questioning anything.

The act of reposting something like the trademark registration post mentioned earlier is the same thing.

It's pretty bad to spread something that is actually prohibited without even checking it yourself, isn't it?

Sometimes, realizing it later and saying 'I'm sorry' is too late.

To avoid that kind of situation, let's make it a habit to be skeptical first and look things up for ourselves.

In particular, X, Instagram, and TikTok are gatherings of monsters and demons, so please be careful.

There are still 'dark part-time jobs' out there too, so please be very careful.

See you next week!
