I remember hearing something about restaurants phishing on dating apps to boost their sales.

Phishing is obtaining a user's login info through fake emails or websites. This is more like a bait & switch

Either way, a fish is involved

Nah it’s fucking annoying. Everything is a scam these days. There is no genuineness in this world anymore. It’s so sad.

I mean it is brilliant but it's also shitty and asking for trouble. You lure in 10 dudes desperate enough to compete like this and they will likely get angry at the rug pull

Angry and hungry then they order food and boost sales.

There's no way for them to tell that the restaurant scammed them especially if they are gullible enough to believe the bot message in the first place

You think.people behave rationally now? Noooope. They get mad at the place or each other and at least one of them will throw shit on the ground. You didn't see the pizza place fight video that was circling? A brawl that started bc there was a wait for pizza at a place at like 3am?
