Creator's Key Takeaways

y'all scammers suck I mean there's just no other way to say it

scammers are playing to your emotions I've been scammed before not on a cruise ship

never Google the number always find the number on the website itself and call directly to that number

be careful of people who are pushy with wanting photos
