no, small boys use vpn...big boys use VPN with socks5 support, most guys just vpn without the socks5 support, only the vpn server admins can tell your location, nobobdy else, they can retrieve your logs and hand it over to government security agencies if need be, like the FBi

even to get a reliable VPN provider that can keep your data discrete and safe is rare. Most of these VPN companies are all reporting back to their security agencies, reason why i laugh at those using vpn, i can never use a socks5 or vpn owned and operated by an european or american, i rather use a russian made socks5 or any country hosting its VPN or socks5 in a western hated country...

Oh, that's what you're insinuating? I thought it's the whole Kabah you were calling a stone. So your whole point is even more baseless than I thought.

Moreover, how is my own opinion your own reality? Can't you do your research and reach yoir conclusion? Why do you need my validation?

I understand that you worship a mortal like you so you're desperate to add me to your league. But no thank you.
You worship a black stone

This is exactly what happens when a platform becomes the new “street.”
People forget that Yahoo didn’t disappear — it just migrated.

The sad part isn’t even the scammers; it’s how quickly Nigerians fall for anything emotional online without verifying a single detail. Somebody slaps “Gaza,” “sick child,” or “urgent help” on a post and suddenly everyone is a humanitarian.

Truth is, X has turned into a marketplace of identities — today Gaza, tomorrow Sudan, next week “orphans in Jos.”
Meanwhile the real victims never get the help.

Until people start demanding proof before donating, these fake sob stories will keep cashing out.
Lol you don't understand what's going on. The new X location update is actually exposing scammers and bot accounts and I bet most of these cheap and low level scammers ain't aware they're being exposed.
You think Nigerians are the ones donating lol..

I understand what's going on grin. If location updates were enough to expose scammers, half of the “Lagos • Dubai • Miami” accounts would’ve vanished by now.
Scammers don’t need to be smart — they just need the victims to be careless.

And yes, Nigerians might not be the ones donating the big money… but the fake narratives are crafted for a global audience. Once the story goes viral, somebody somewhere falls for it.

Scam is scam — whether the target is local or foreign. Acting like the new X features suddenly crippled Yahoo graduates is giving them way too much credit.

You people just talk with no thinking.

1. Are they forcing anyone to come?

2. Do you realise how much saudi spends yearly on pilgrimage? You think it's your chicken change that Saudi is spending? You must be on some fermented fluid.

3. Most importantly, Muslims do not worship the stone. We know it has no benefit or harm it can give by itself. We are not like you paracletians who worship a man like you.
A stone is a Stone. Relax

Since yesterday, I’ve seen up to 40 accounts claiming to be from other countries but actually operating from Nigeria. The whole thing is just embarrassing
