…How do these people not realise they’re being scammed? It’s… blatant!

It could only be more obvious if the documents were being held by a Nigerian Prince who wanted to send $1 million along with them! I feel like I could walk up to one of these fools and tell them, “I am actively scamming you, but if you trust me with a few dollars, magical fairies will come and restore you to your prime and grant you and those you love eternal youth, life, and wealth,” and they’d give me everything they could get their hands on!

It’s almost hard to not pity them at this point…

The best (worst?) part about this… that address is a church

They are being scammed by a church, but is a time honored tradition

Pretty much every one that goes to Church is being scammed by a church.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

To be fair, it's probably a randomly chosen address that has nothing to do with the church. It's not exactly like they're going to process returns.

The Facebook groups have thousands of people. I think the parallels between these people and Qanon are pretty significant.

It would be fun to come up with a grift like this but use the same twisted legalese to claim what they are paying for is worthless. If you can't beat em, join em.

At this point we should just rename the community to InsaneSovCits. Not that I don't get a chuckle out of the posts

I am seriously wondering why they ordered eleven copies. Why would you even be able to order more than one?

I mean, yes, this is scam, but still…

[–] Longpork2@lemmy.nz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where do you see 11 copies?

XI is the Latin Nummer for the Arabic 11

I read that as x1, as in the only wanted one time. They're not the same height, so I don't think it's Roman numerals.

Isn't applying for a passport like this, from any third party, kind of directly counter to what sovcits say they stand for? What with the sending of photos and money to a shadowy organisation to be registered in a database, and all.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

What sovcits believe in is being as much of a stupid dumbass as possible because being intelligent makes you a sheep.

[–] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Same energy over here in germany. People buy id cards stating they are citizens of the „Deutsches Reich“. Of course there are several groups claiming they are an exile government, succesors, etc. and ripping of delusional people. Frankly, no pity from me.

I wish I didn't have a conscience, so I could fleece those people myself and get rich of their stupidity.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I feel this about so, so many things. I could probably drop ship so many "let's go Brandon" flags from the cheapest print shop and make a bundle, but then I'd be contributing to that brain-melting stupidity.

I can hear the curb your enthusiasm theme playing when the guy is told it is not a valid travel document. 🤡

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'm less familiar with these sovcits but this post got me thinking, what do y'all think the Venn diagram between this type of person and those who complain about "illegal" immigrants looks like? Are these the same nutjob racists or are they a different kind of nutjob?
