I run an e-commerce shop in France and get many support tickets of customers wondering why they have to pay an additional fee to receive their parcels. One day, one of the customers forwarded me a super obvious scam SMS asking to pay the additional fee but unfortunately, it wasn't obvious for her (most of my customers are over 40-50 years old). Seems like they are running these scams all over the world and probably found vulnerabilities in all the major post offices.

My experience with Modafinil is that it is helpful for dealing with tasks that have been sitting in my Todo List for months (my most procrastinated tasks). Not necessarily the most complex tasks, as I usually like doing those, but kind of tasks like cleaning my 3000 mails mailbox or writing a SOP for my business. The 1-day modafinil will clear up so much of my todolist that I'll be free the next weeks/months to tackle the most complex problems. And for solving complex problems, I find microdosing better as it gives different perspectives/POVS

He shouldn't take this personally. Unfortunately all the behemoths such as Google, Meta or even Fintech "neo-banks" adopted this approach of banning-first with no appeal. They have to deal with so many users that they don't care anymore.

One of the solutions is to be aware of this and develop your own ways to circumvent their processes. Harder to do for banks (and I wouldn't do it) but necessary for other situations.

I live in different foreign countries that they decided to consider as high-risk clusters (Vietnam, Thailand etc.) and learned this the hard way (got banned from Meta Ads my first week arriving in Vietnam) so now everything is isolated. I only login to banks on a specific VPS in a "safe" cluster. And all my Google Ads accounts are also on separate isolated VPSes.

I know for a fact that some people manage to bypass Facebook Ads review process by bribing some local employees in developing countries (India, Indonesia etc..). I wouldn't be surprised if this was used with Apple as well as they usually tend to outsource these jobs in Developing countries.

Great! I just started using it to access some sensitive accounts (Google/Facebook Ads Platform) on Azure instances. I travel a lot so always need to isolate my accounts in Cloud instances to not get banned (for having a high-risk profile due to the high number of IP adresses). I used to access my accounts through RDP but super slow, this is making it so much smoother
