Anyone also think these kind of posts exist to scrape and create a database of usernames and try to match their real names?

Twats!

Next week they'll have a similar one about the second letter of your name and the first and last digit of your social security number

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

The only question is, is the malice of data scrapers bigger than the stupidity of r/teenagers?

As for my word: Mallard

No.

There are a lot of phishing attempts on social media, but this one makes literally no sense. Let's take a look simply at the one post here. u/nightmarepizzza put "aardvark."

So their name is...what? Alex? Amber? Aaron? Abraham? What exactly could ever be discerned from this? Also, we have no idea if they even took it seriously and used the letter of their REAL first name here.

If this were a scam attempt, it would be the worst fucking one imaginable.
