So how does bag lady part 2 work? Basically if you want to commit fraud, buy drugs, or get your hair, lashes, and nails done, you come to BLP2. While this is specific to Louisville, I wouldn't be surprised if most major cities had groups like this

What's some services? A lot of fraud documents, like insurance, doctors notes, paystubs, etc. Someone will offer to photoshop you legal documents for as little as 10 bux, but the average price is around 35. Most threads start anonymously, but the replies arent.

You may have seen a name pop up more than once already. This seems to be the most popular fraud member, doing it for over a year. Glowing reviews! Even made her own fraud website where you can place orders(which has been taken down this week)

She even got her own flyers for fraud lmao

Sometimes it doesn't work! One senior center actually followed up on what I assume was an employee abusing FMLA

Sometimes the website from uhhh ms lingling causes the more cost conscious clientele to be put off, with many in the comments in a bidding war to the bottom to win the fraudster bid

What else keeps this BLP2 economy afloat? Stolen goods of course. "boosting" is stealing, "boosted" is stolen stuff. When you grow up around stuff like this its obvious when goods are stolen. It's mostly household stuff (laundry detergent, cleaning stuff, clothes)

Some people just make their money stealing specific stuff. People will outright ask for thieves who target specific stores

What else is sold? Food stamps, OBVIOUSLY

Just think of all the common scams folks pull, and its a service offered here. Every temp tag, every handicapped sticker, what's the odds it's fake now?

This seems to be the DFW lingling

I guarantee you have one of these in your city if you live in a shithole metro. Imagine the scam economy of atlanta. Of houston. Memphis. It's probably not called Bag Lady (the DFW one is called "DFW girl plug main", you can see it in the second pic in the tweet directly above)

FB, to their credit, does seem to shut these pages down (at least I see these scammers lamenting about making a new page pretty often). Why is it FB is more efficient than local governments in stopping fraud? Are courts seriously not checking if insurance is valid?

Anyway, go find your local cities "BLP2" page. It's hard to find since the groups are almost always private, but the groups churn out so much that they don't vet who they are approving

How much you wanna bet the "whistleblower" who "let other people use her login" to issue THOUSANDS of Kentucky drivers licenses to illegal immigrants for $200, is a BLP2 member? https://x.com/WallStreetApes/s...

I blocked out anyone's name who wasn't posting fraud or asking for fraud or other crimes. These Facebook groups are not just crime specific, but it's about 1/3rd of all posts.

Obviously the brazenness to do this on FB with your real name is insane, but this kind of stuff has been going on before the internet. In highschool I would ride with my friends while his mom or aunt or whomever would go buy food stamps from someone, or sell a handicapped sign

@chineseguypulpo Fake docs seems dope. Thanks for putting me onto it

@Ungovernab1e they won't sell to goober redditors tho lol

@chineseguypulpo A long time ago at a job we had a unit where they'd have to go over some of those paystubs/insurance documents and about 15% of our contacts and clientele, you can guess who, were committing fraud and would even brag about it on facebook, it's MASSIVE.

@BrodeusGrande It is crazy how if u go on a darkweb market, you'll see fraud stuff going for about 3 times the price, and you gotta figure out how to use pgp keys and crypto wallets. however if you are a protected class of citizen, you can just use your cashapp under your real name on cleartext

@chineseguypulpo Shout to Dudley @NewRightPoast for making me aware of this new manmade horror beyond my imagination. His newsletter is fantastic: @newrightpoast class="text-blue-500 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://substack.com/@newright...

@chineseguypulpo They are wholly unable to participate in the most basic aspects of our society. I hate them so much. And I’m not at all surprised by this either. Call the local police where you see this stuff.

@chineseguypulpo Billions.

@chineseguypulpo Gross, but to be fair if this black market did not exist all these people would be robbing and killing us normies instead

@chineseguypulpo @threadreaderapp unroll please

@chineseguypulpo Always wondered how low IQ ppl navigate the modern world

@chineseguypulpo Marketplace almost immediately became a place to offload stolen goods from laundry detergent to bags. I saw it in Chicago years ago.

@chineseguypulpo We need to eliminate all welfare and take half the money we saved and send it directly to police.

@chineseguypulpo Incredible thread, neighbor. Thank you.

@chineseguypulpo wow, fascinating
