    This can’t be real. There are so many red flags this is fake. 1) Everything is censored. 2) GIS (Google image search) lookup only shows reddit and linkedin. The linkedin post is just as vague “learned a colleague received this!” 3) It’s too good to be true. it plays on current fears. 4) It’s just so dumb.

      1. Of course everything is censored, there is no reason to share personal info like that.

      2. I don’t know what Geographical Information Systems have to do with this post, are you referring to a reverse image search like google or tineye or something? What were you expecting to find? The original email with all of the aforementioned personal info? Are you surprised content could be posted to Reddit before anywhere else?

      3. Current fears are justified.

      4. Poe’s Law tells me not to assume anything is satirical because there will always be people that stupid or greedy.

      And yeah, it could be fake, 100%, but your arguments were really dumb.

        GIS might be Google Image Search in this case, though I haven’t seen it abbreviated like that before.

      I fucking hate people like you.

      “Everything on Reddit/Lemmy is fake and gay. Here’s my evidence.”

      All evidence easily has an explanation, most of it laughably so.

      What do idiots who claim everything is fake get out of it? To troll the OP? Or do you just want to spread your misery?

      1 is in no way a red flag, don’t put other’s personally identifying information on the Internet.
