It bears repeating that we are all suckers to a great idea, but some ideas are not just too good to be true they’re just plain ridiculous.
And yet, people keep falling for crazy products and ideas.
It’s All A Repeat
Stumbling around the internet, I recently fell into a rabbit hole of devices making ridiculous claims and impossible promises.
One such product was the “TVFix”: A simple, tiny device that when plugged into your TV can activate or unlock hundreds of channels, legally – and for free!
One assumes they’re using the term “legally” quite loosely.
This tiny-sized piece of plastic was allegedly developed after many years of research at the University of Tokyo where “top scientists” (in white lab coats) invented a way to capture low frequency electronic waves and somehow gain access to hundreds of previously locked TV channels.
Tested by “military engineers” it could unlock streaming content other suckers are dumb enough to pay for!
It even claimed to record shows with “DVR functionality.”
If you’re not already reaching for your wallet, what the hell are you waiting for?
As one excellent scam observer/exposer noted, these online ads are filled with buzzwords and phrases common to scam products like “taking the TV world by storm” which is a psychological motivator borrowed from pitch artists, market sellers and street hawkers.
Nothing about this scam is new,…
