„Sign up now and change your Life!“

You click on the notification, which seemed to be just another spam ad sent to your address- yet the title of the E-Mail seemed way to promising for you to just delete it, offering it could „Change your Life“.

As the E-Mail finishes loading it redirects you to a website blasting you with flashing colors, instantly tiring your already weary eyes. It seemed to be an advertisement, but not one for a product or a service, instead it shows you the set of what looks like a TV show. Having caught your attention you decide to start reading, hoping this website might really give your the new start that you need in your life.

„Sign up now for GYG the brand new Gameshow coming to your favorite streaming platforms! 12 contestants Battle for an enormous cash Prize of 3 Million dollars over the course of two weeks and the winner takes it all home to use it as he wishes! Who knows- maybe he’ll take home one of his former enemies as well~ sign up today and get a 100$ cash prize just for throwing your hat in the ring! And with just a tiny bit of luck you might soon find yourself in the best Gameshow of all time!“

You read through the information box, stopping for a second as you read that the winner might take one of his former enemies home, thinking its quite a weird passage to use in such a context but not really worrying about it any more. You don’t hesitate long, the 100 bucks seeming like too good of a deal to pass on- it’s not like you’d get chosen to play anyway. Quickly typing in all required data, you skip through any documents the program asks you to read- it’s probably just basic terms and service bullshit anyway! You think to yourself as you send off your application, getting a notification on your phone barely five seconds later, informing you that 100$ were just deposited in your account and making you cheer out loud
