MaxmusArgent Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I keep getting demands asking for money from a "Kevin367" is the latest, I block then, next back with a change in the number after his name i.e.; "Kevin702" "Kevin763" "Kevin792" "Kevin796" "Kevin934" and "Kevin976" no doubt there will be more to come, possibly he could be doing it to a lot more people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaks Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) File an Abuse Report for harassment, the quicker the better. The governance team can deal with it. I might suggest reporting as many of the various names that you cam together with copies of the messages they send, on one report. That might save the governance team having to sort out loads of what is effectively the same report. If its any consolation, you're not the only one.

Actually, pretty accurate. r/storiesAboutKevin Not so much about being entitled, but dumb, arrogant, and selfish/spiteful.

In SL, Kevin is just an annoying, spamming beggar trying to scam people out of lindens by "claiming" he has saved up 238 lindens, but needs 462 lindens to be able to afford to buy a skin/shape for his avatar.

In Germany "Kevin" has been associated with stupidity and low-class for at least 20 years. There is even a saying, that translates to "Kevin is not a name, but a diagnosis". This stems from the type of person, who seemed to be most likely to give their children foreign names based on celebrities and popular movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these Kev's are beggar bots with the same old story profile pic and "Joined today" when you check their rezz date i'm sure they get lucky and some naive people do give them money i had an alt with L$0 targeted at the SL17B shop and hop most recently wasn't sure what the most appropriate AR category was so didn't bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an IM from him recently, I always tell those people I would love to help but I was saving up for a purchase myself and need another 346 more linden, but that if I get extra I would be sure to keep them in mind.

Profaitchikenz Haiku Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Legendary in the UK back in the eighties and early nineties were windscreen decals with "Kevin" over the driver's seat and "Tracey" over the passenger's. /me stops and reads back. Did he just do a Yoda there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
