    @E_Pluribus_Unum#191787 because it doesn’t exist anymore

    @Zachinquarantine_#191789 That’s disappointing

    10

    Just an idea to add HMRC to the scams list or addd it to the existing IRS

    Cheers

    11

    @Dan_Gleeballs_Youtube#191809 HMRC would best go in IRS

    @Markiemm#191519 Awesome

    I like the new tools: Scambin and Scammerlink.

    19

    I just went to shorten a link using scammerlink and the link shortens to scammer.link/ can you change the url to somthing generic that wont tip off the scammers?

    @chrisinullapool#192641

    The whole point is that it's for use with https://scambin.info

    If there's interest we could make some more generic URL shorteners
