This post is a little less formal
I just recently started using
Instagram. And about a week ago, I got a surprising follow.
Now I voted for Gary Johnson, so this
was an exciting moment for me. I thought maybe I will DM him and say
thanks. But then, the next day, I noticed he DMed me
I thought the message was a little
strange. Not exactly what was expected. Honestly, I even felt a
little uncomfortable, but I don’t exactly know why.
So I responded. “Gary’s” response
seemed even stranger to me. I thought he would be excited to hear I
officially made the switch in my voter registration. Now here things
take an interesting turn.
I did a little googling and found
nothing on the subject. So I thought I would test if this was a real
person or a bot, as I was suspicious, so I asked a question
(additionally, all the past responses seems inappropriate, like bot
might guess what people will say and responds to it).
So when he says yes to my question, I
know it’s a real person, but I’m pretty sure this is a scam, so I
decided to ask a technical question about non-profits (after all, I
used to work for one) to see if he knows what he is talking about.
He read this and did not respond. Which
pretty much ensures that I wasn’t talking to the real Gary Johnson
after all. Additionally, I followed that hashtag and found two posts,
here is one of them.
So I DMed the real Gary Johnson. Maybe
he will respond and then I can truly say, I spoke to Gary Johnson.
Uncut DM below for reference.
