My father has sadly been fully consumed by facebook, & is now considering joining those pyramid schemes Even after telling him to never trust those schemes, he's not listening at all
Just tell him to research what those pyramid schemes are so he knows what he's getting into, that way when he does see the whole picture in consideration of them, it might change his mind.
tell ur others family members to watchout for ur father together and also make some plans if the worst kind of possiblity happen
You could try googling for advice? Or if you want a more convoluted solution, start your own pyramid scheme, have your dad fall for it and then tell him “told you so” and give the money back (no harm done and lesson learned).
That.. Is actually another problem. He doesn't wanna do any research because he claimed that the comments said it's 100% legit, so he's trusting it instead of checking google
Have you considering to freeze his assets? One of my relatives fell for it, and is still in the heap. Money burning af.
tell ur mom to confiscate/monitor(?) his gadgets and bank accts first or atleast till he listen to reasons?
Not this way please _´ཀ`」 ∠):_ I am so ashamed to actually say that he's still doing that occasionally
Just use parental blocking to block Facebook. Since no one really needs to use Facebook, you have solved the problem for the next 3 months while he figures out a way around the parental block.
I don’t think that will work. My father-in-law fell for a pyramid scheme. Even after he got out of it, apparently he was never able to realize that he was part of a scam. There just seems to be some sort of disconnect in the brain that when you’re part of/victim of a scam, it’s really hard to realize it.
Unfortunately, it's just me & father right now. Mom left many years ago. Hence why Idk what to do to stop him x.x
Wtf they actually love their father of course they wont let someone they love got scammed! You are so unfilial and heartless, you should always look out for your family!
I actually don't know about those things because it has just been me & my dad. I have no other adult to consult around me right now. I'm kinda panicking he'll really join before I could discuss it to others
Isn't there a Ted Talks vid about multi-marketing schemes or at least something similar? Why not have him watch something like that so he has more knowledge about it. Knowledge is power after all, and it's much easier to make a decision when properly informed.
He'll be in an absolute rage when this actually happens... I think Especially he's using facebook to chat & call his mistress, who's currently far away from us.
