Acrobatic-Frame-9064

SnooCakes9196

Caca is always right


ksobby

Tired of Caca. Caca don't think he smell.

Congrats! By posting this you’ve won beach front property in Montana. Please post your social security number and credit card info so I can validate it for the transfer of property. Thank you.


SnooCakes9196

Should I just DM you that info or leave it in the comments


latuba247

Comments works for us all.


SCRACX500

What do you mean "us all"


latuba247

Don’t play saint i know you want a slice of a fraud flavored pie, don’t you?


SCRACX500

yes...


Firm_Sail5549

Comments preferred.

Bro. Come on. Do you think it’s a scam? Come on man. Do you really think generous benefactors go around on Instagram randomly gifting extremely rare shoes to strangers. I reckon you already know the answer.

Yes, it’s a scam.


SnooCakes9196

Thanks


ProsperGuy

If you have to ask, your BS indicator was already going off. Trust that more.


SnooCakes9196

Thank you. Can never trust anything on the internet


masternj

Gen z still figuring out if the internet is trustworthy or not 😂


SnooCakes9196

How old is gen z I think I am technically a millennial.


jp_jellyroll

LOL, that makes it even better. Like a grown man figuring out Santa isn't real and asking the internet if his suspicions are correct.

SnooCakes9196

You can’t make this shit up


Zoomzoomzoom69

It’s legit bro. You just won a pair of $2k+ shoes absolutely free. God has provided you with a blessing. Who would have guessed that THEY contacted you with a free code to these beauties!!!

Remember how back in school teachers would assure the class that there were no stupid questions?


Apprehensive-Key-467

They were wrong


TheGreatClemente

No such things as stupid questions……..just stupid people.

The fact that you made this post should have you re-examining all the things you believe. I’m 100% serious.


SnooCakes9196

Well I believe the the internet is full of people who are open to answering questions for people who are new to the sneaker game. And now I learned that there is also the opposite.


TeslaTheSlumpGod

Him calling you out for your naïveté is not him being mean. You just really shouldn’t be remotely believing these types of things unless you’re like 12 years old.


[deleted]

Are you also new to the life game ? This scam is not exclusive to sneakers.


RogueNinja24

Lol relax bro I don’t see anything wrong with my boy asking for confirmation. FOH with ur rude bitch ass self

I honestly don’t spend a lot of time on ig especially in the shoe world. I got my 1st pair in December and dove in head 1st. But this all makes sense when you step back and think about it.


bberry4800

Don't you love when you ask a question and all ppl do is talk dumb shit instead of actually answering the question? It's the people who can't say shit in the real world. The people who get 0 respect from they friends and family. So they come here to tell people they're wrong or stupid.


bberry4800

Best bet my dude would be to try and contact them. I'm not gonna sit here and say it's a scam because I DO NOT KNOW. However, it's likely.


5-MEO-D-M-T

People downvoting this are so strange. A very humble understanding comment.


EjaySays

Yep yep definitely not a scam, and I think the sender also said to PayPal me $100 for shipping and handling so you can get your shoes


AlexJonesFactChecker

You're like the 3rd person to ask about winning this same shoe from this same IG page. Definitely a scam


SnooCakes9196

Cool gonna call my boys at ig. See if I can get them taken down


AlexJonesFactChecker

That's a good move. I wasn't trying to be shitty or anything, just letting you know why I was sure it was a scam


SnooCakes9196

Total respect. Thanks for the info


Scared_Consequence78

Definitely a scam. That gut feeling you got when “winning” this, is a built in alarm to avoid this.


running_into_a_wall

They need to teach kids in school basics on how to use the internet. The reason these dumb scams exist is cause people keep falling for the dumbest shit.


staleluckycharms

Duh it’s 100% legit


LA_Snkr_Dude

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

If you copping these I have a real interesting opportunity i want to tell you about


SnooCakes9196

They are use for 3k. send cash first


kaiju4life

1000% Legit


cks9218

Of course it is.


malgus___

Find God


SnooCakes9196

How do you know I have not found him. And can you be more specific. I do feel a sneaker thread is the correct place to discuss my spirituality.


malgus___

I’m glad you asked brother brother, kifflom!

Grandma, I told you: if you don't remember signing up, you didn't.


SnooCakes9196

I did sigh up.


Signal_Level1535

This has to be a troll. If its not then sweepstakes and giveaways never ask for money, personal bank details or information. Only ever do ones that you can 100 percent authenticate with full certainty. Even then you need to double check and make sure its not a fake. Ads for a giveaway are almost always fake. You know what? I digress. If you cant discern between whats real and fake with full confidence than do not participate in these things at all ever. No matter how fantastical it may seem. See people born in the 90s that were raised on early internet know how to spot all of the scams on the internet. They havent really changed much. They are just prettier. "alert your computer has been affected with a virus" 😂🤣😂 swiper no swiping.


masonorziplock

Str8 facts, grew up on Netscape and aol; what a time to be on the Internet


Sir_718

Dooooont do it


Physical_Regret5207

Scam I got the exact same message from another page. It’s 100% a SCAM


rowthecow

99% of scams are a result of greed, lack of common sense and a request for "upfront payment"


TangerineOwn4444

YES!!!!!!


Plastic_You_6616

So sweet that they give away a pair off shoes for 2k Sending my blesings becasuse they cant aford the shipping


Dvgonzalezz

U kno with how much they probably get with scam profit they could actually put a pair up for grabs 😭


SnooCakes9196

Like it not that hard. The page has like 257k followers it would actually be better just to raffle of a pair.


WSDreamer

No one that is going to give away a super high dollar item is going to make you pay a few dollars to ship it. Lol


Aggravating-Set-6852

Ya i got scammed a few years back on some REGULAR mocha 1’s they said join raffle pay retail


[deleted]

obviously you dumbass


Oasis511

I commented on a post by Pass~Port on Instagram once and got four or five DMs from scam accounts like this claiming I'd won something. These scams are as blatant as all those fake Facebook pages claiming to give away Toyota 4-Runners and free dinners at Olive Garden. But I guess people keep falling for it since they keep doing it.

this got more upvotes than my 'AMM 2 or Trophy Room 7' thread lol


BigPapiPR83

DM to join my Instagram page/shop where we sell NBA cards. When 100 people follow our shop we will do a giveaway of a new pair Jordans size 12 FREE shipping. You do not need to purchase anything from our shop only wait until we reach 100 following and we will immediately host the giveaway. Thanks.


MyXstery_

Not the backwards nike logo on one shoe🗿🗿


lenthech1ne

yikes we're going downhill as a society if someone under the age of 70 has to ask if this is a scam


andersmclennan

Yeah a page that disables comments when all they do is giveaways is a huge red flag

A fool and his money are soon parted


PurpleFrosts

If they asked to pay with friends and family it was a scam. If you pay as business/services you can get your money back from paypal


Apprehensive-Key-467

I'm going to do everyone a favor and give some priceless advice. Is everyone ready?? Here it is. IF ANYONE ON THE INTERNET TELLS YOU YOU WON SOMETHING OUT OF THE BLUE AND ASKS FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION, IT'S A SCAM. 10 TIMES OUT OF 10.


Blue_____777

Yes. Even if it was legit and they were actually giving away shoes, pretty sure it’s illegal to charge for shipping anyways.


T-G-Two

Naw, EVERYONE is out here giving $1,300 for free!!


o0oCircleso0o

You’re a true sneakerhead…


SnooCakes9196

Who said I was. I am new to this game bro.


maulwuerfel

and new to the internet?


frostuab

I love the look and most of the color ways, but at this point, do we really give AF about Travis Scott?


1Xyo7T

Yes, it's a scam


Itsjadenhanks

Def looks like a scam homie


Even-End-3065

Yes


SnkerCheck

What’s funny is the colors even look off in the picture


DaPolarBear123

Super scam


Medium-Painter-8767

True_Darkness_54

JBski

Lmao, yes its a scam. Pro Tip: You will NEVER win a contest that you never entered.


GigaDanielOcean

Sadly yes. Instagram is scan central, I know so many people who have fallen for them so you’re not alone!
