How much do they pay for these "IDs"? I need to get in on the sovcit idiot grifting game lmao I wonder how much a used ID printer off eBay is hmm

You don't even have to bother with something as complicated as an ID. My mom spent hundreds on little metal disks that the seller claimed blocked 5g. She's got them all over her house: under all of her electronics, in her wallet, and anywhere else someone's managed to convince her needs to be protected. She's tried getting me to take some, crying that the 5g will make me infertile if I'm not "protected" by 1mm of aluminum.

Hopefully they are just aluminium, there have been quite a few quack devices that claim to do magical things including blocking 5G that actually contain radioactive material. Not super high levels, probably all just raw ore, but probably not something you'd want near you for a prolonged time.

Well, she's already dying of breast cancer that she found while it was still DCIS, but continues to refuse anything but quack treatments even as it's progressed to stage 4, so I doubt a bit of uranium ore will be what takes her out in the end.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Lol having read dozens of other posts like this where people are talking about being in court for not paying their rent or credit card bill, I doubt you'll be able to get much money out of these people.

Well that's the thing, if you try to force money out of them after the fact, you will get a "coupon"

So you charge them up front for something you've convinced them they want, and suddenly money is a thing again

Just be careful, you could be held liable eventually.

Probably it that much since these are the same people who think the US government turn their personal being into a corporation and they can pull from that equity

LMFAO the genius that is making these ID's is making them expire faster than most states. Gotta love how easy it is to take dumb people money

Until they try to pay with the coupon!
