Duckduckgo And Microsoft Help Scammers Cheat People

1st Timothy 6:11-12, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”

I was scammed a few weeks ago on Duckduckgo. Hurricane Isaias hit Pensacola on October 9th, 2026, doing major damage to my home and neighborhood. A large tree branch caused impact damage on the northeast corner of my roof. I can see light through the damaged area where wood, fascia and soffits are missing. My front storm door was ripped off its hinges. My fence got smashed like a pancake by a 50 foot oak tree that was pulled up by the roots.

Before the power went out it was fluctuating, which sensitive electronic equipment doesn't like. My Cobra wireless security camera system stop working. So I went on Duckduckgo to look for an exact replacement and found one, so I thought. Here is the ad. These are all scammers!

I ordered the center one from Sopiqu for $75.69. I didn't see the cheaper one for $30.99 at the time I ordered it on October 27th. I paid about $200 in 2023 at Harbor Freight for my system, which came with two cameras. I ordered two more for about $100 a piece. The model number is 63842. I figured it was cheaper because it is an older model. So I used my VISA credit card to pay for the Cobra system from Rosellaflash.com, which is what the confirmation email receipt says.

The company is allegedly based in Grand Rapids, South Dakota. There is no business phone number, which is highly suspicious. The only email is vip@rosellaflash.com, but when I emailed them twice no one ever replied. My order number is “Rosella Flash1286.” The company never gave me an expected delivery date. After two weeks of not hearing from the company, and not receiving anything, I called Chase Bank (VISA) to report the Rosellaflash company. The representative from Chase Bank in India said I likely had been scammed, so she credited my account for $75.69, which I appreciate from Chase Bank.

Duckduckgo And Microsoft Should Be Ashamed

Dear reader, I hope you are seeing what I am seeing, that Duckduckgo and Microsoft are facilitating blatant scammers and fraud. I mentioned this ordeal to ChatGPT, which A.I. revealed that Microsoft places 95% of these advertisements on Duckduckgo, and these unethical companies (Microsoft, Duckduckgo and the scammers) all make money from the corrupt ads. It is the naive consumer who gets cheated, robbed and burned!

One of my favorite Bible passages is Isaiah 13:11, “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.” It can't happen soon enough for me. I am so sick of the thievery, deception and greed. We are living in a very unethical culture in the United States. People don't even hesitate to lie, cheat, connive and steal today.

All of the fake companies in the screenshot I shared with you earlier are scammers! They all falsely claim to sell Cobra's Wireless Security System Model #63842 for a steeply discounted price. Yet, all of their websites exclusively display women's clothing. There is no company phone number. They are lying, good for nothing, thieves! What bothers me so much is that Duckduckgo and Microsoft and empowering them to hurt people with impunity.

When it comes to technology, I am just a naive nobody consumer with a laptop, and if I can clearly see (after getting burned) that these are fraudulent companies, don't anyone dare try to convince me that giant companies like Duckduckgo and Microsoft with all their lawyers, employees and resources don't see this evil garbage. It makes me angry. If you're not upset, you're not paying attention. I just got scammed by a crooked company that only exists on paper to deceive their victims. It couldn't be more obvious that the owners of Microsoft and Ducksuckgo couldn't care less that people are being scammed and cheated. Everybody is making lots of money except the victimized consumer whose time and money are wasted.

And I did report these fake ads to Duckduckgo as fraudulent, and I told the company that I had been victimized, but the evil fake ads are still there. I wonder if anyone at Duckduckgo even bothers to read user's complaints. We've got a serious problem with willful fraud in American society today. These big companies are making trillions of dollars from advertising.

Amazon Is No Better

Amazon.com is another shady dishonest company, which has outsourced all management to foreign countries, mostly India. I really hate Amazon! They have a great business model, but abusive customer support, woefully ignorant of American culture, and poor management.

When I mentioned in a movie review that it reminded me of “The Little Rascals,” I received a ridiculous threatening notice from Amazon's Abuse Department warning me that my account would be terminated if I continued using “Hate Speech.” Hate speech? Some fool in India thought I was calling children “little rascals.” They weren't familiar with the popular 1970s TV show The Little Rascals. When I called the guy an “idiot,” they banned me from writing any more reviews. I actually took the time to write an apology letter, which I mailed to Amazon's headquarters in Seattle, Washington, but they refused to forgive me and upheld the ban. What saith the Scripture? Matthew 6:15, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Woe unto Amazon! Woe unto Jeff Bezos!

Amazon is a heathen company run by ungodly reprobates who have no love, compassion, sense of decency or forgiveness. They are cold-hearted and only want your money. To no surprise, there have been 61,436 complaints in the last 3 years against Amazon at the Better Business Bureau (BBB), mostly unresolved. Amazon has a very low 1.11 star rating at the BBB. I wish I had the power to punish Amazon, to put them out of business permanently for their abuse of customers.

Check out the following fraudulent ad on Duckduckgo from Amazon...

I searched Duckduckgo for a replacement camera for my Cobra Wireless Security Camera System, and Amazon falsely advertises that they sell Cobra wireless camera systems, but they do not. I couldn't find even one Cobra security camera on Amazon. The company lies to hog the market!

Type “buy pedal steel guitar” into a search engine. Any search engine, it doesn't matter. I typed “buy pedal steel guitar” into Duckduckgo, and this shady advertisement from Amazon appeared at the top...

The problem is that Amazon does not sell any pedal steel guitars, which expensive quality instrument costs several thousand dollars. An Emmons' D-10 lacquer body pedal steel guitar sells for around $13,000 from the Emmons Guitar Company in Tennessee. Amazon does sell many lap steel guitars for a few hundred dollars, but they don't sell pedal steel guitars. So why is Amazon lying to deceive people? They are hoping to lure you to their website so that you'll see an alternative product and purchase anything, just to get your money.

Amazon takes in roughly $750,000,000,000 each year in revenues, but that's not enough, they choose to be dishonest and lie to get the rest of your money.

God Will Someday Put A Leash On This Evil World

I sometimes wish to God that I had dictatorial power to do whatever I want, to whomever I want to do it, and no one could do anything to hinder or stop me. Boy, that sounds scary, huh? One day we will have that power as God's children. The Bible teaches in Revelation 20:6 that during the coming one thousand year Millennium that we as God's saints “shall reign with him a thousand years.” Humbly said, if the Lord puts me in charge of a region, with unlimited power, I will rule my city with a rod of iron, under the kingship of our dear Lord and Savior:

Revelation 2:26-27, “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.”

I always thought this passage spoke of Jesus, but that's not what it says. The Bible says His saints will reign over the nations with a rod of iron, and I would indeed. Let me tell you some of my ideas. I would ban fine print in advertising. I loathe those ambulance-chasing attorney television commercials. I see them all the time on YouTube. Their lawyer ads can barely fit all the tiny fineprint onto the TV screen, which disclaimer is all legally intended to limit, disqualify, disarm, victimize and render you powerless in court.

Why do you think people hate attorneys? Jesus didn't like lawyers either! Luke 11:46, “And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.” Lawyers prey upon people during the darkest hours of their lives, ravishing your bank account, taking financial advantage of hurting people. I once heard a female attorney on TV say that a good lawyer can take away money from anyone with deep pockets. She was right!

I would ban fine print. I would require all businesses to print their disclaimers in the same size, color and format as their advertising. I am tired of shady companies advertising with bold, bright, flashing text, but then their legal disclaimer (the bad stuff that can hurt you) is so small that it's barely legible and you need a law degree (or ChatGPT) or understand it.

Also, I would not allow any false advertising, and I would hold scammers severely accountable. The Old Testament's laws for dealing with thieves would be implemented. I would not allow prisons. God never intended for humans to be locked in cages like animals.

And I would outlaw automated phone answering systems. I hate those stupid annoying things. Ah yes, Godlike powers. It's a wonderful thought. The Bible foretells that we shall reign over the earth with Christ in the future. The Bible says we shall judge angels. 1st Corinthians 6:3, “Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”

If you live in the United States, then you know how frustrating our justice system can be. You also know how unjust it can be. We have often seen U.S. companies commit blatant fraud for decades and make tens of billions of dollars in profits. And then a class action lawsuit is eventually filed and the court awards the victims $500 million in damages (most of which is legally stolen by the lawyers), which is a slap on the wrist for the ungodly crooked company. This disturbing shady scenario is all too common. The usual outcome is that the government takes a third, the lawyers take a third, and the thousands of victims are lucky if they receive a $2,500 payout to offset their tens of thousands of dollars in individual personal losses.

And I hate crooked insurance companies too. Hurricane Gloria struck Connecticut in 1985, bringing damaging winds, coastal flooding, and widespread power outages. A separate Texas class-action investigation found that dishonest insurers had deliberately underpaid approved homeowners’ claims by deducting too much for depreciation; it was not specific to Gloria or Connecticut. This type of evil dishonest behavior is all too common with insurance companies. For that reason I try to avoid buying insurance unless it is legally required.

If you ever buy a concert ticket for $140 and they offer you insurance for $10 or $20, don't purchase it. I'll tell you why. They are thieves! Read the fine print. It says if a mother goes into labor, they won't pay a dime. If you suffered a heart attack or a stroke, and you previously had any existing underlying health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, they won't pay. And if you get into a car accident, you must have a police report, and even then it is solely at their discretion if they will refund your money They are ungodly crooks!

State Farm Insurance Cheated Me

Years ago in the early 1990s, I paid extra to State Farm for Uninsured Motorist clause on my policy. A foreigner drunk driver struck my car. He drove off. I cut in front of him to stop him, but he just slammed into the other side of my car. He struck at least 5 or 6 parked cars along the way, doing extensive damage. The accident happened in Chicago, but I followed him home to Cicero, watching the drunken fool stumble into his apartment.

In a disturbing twist, the lazy Cicero, Illinois, police said since the accident happened in Chicago, they couldn't take the police report. The lazy Chicago police said since the criminal lived in Cicero, they couldn't take the police report. I detest lazy cops! So, I had no choice but to go to a different precinct and lie to the Chicago police by telling them that I had no idea where the man lived. They had to take the report.

As it turns out, my State Farm agent told me that the drunken guy was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, had no driver's license and no insurance. My 1973 Cutlass Oldsmobile with a 350 Rocket engine sustained a few thousand dollars in damage to the body. There were no scratches or dents prior to the drunken driver smashing into my car twice. My agent said the damages far exceeded the Blue Book value of my car. State Farm issued me a whopping check for $400 to repair $3,000 of damages. At no time did anyone at State Farm warn me that they wouldn't pay more than the Blue Book value of my car. I found out that you have to purchase collector's insurance.

And I'll tell you something else, in 99% of fire insurance it says in the fine print that they WILL NOT replace your home if it burns to the ground. They'll do the same thing as with my car; they'll issue you a ridiculously low payment because of the old age of your home. Insurance companies notoriously use fine print to cheat people, knowing that without a lawyer you'll never be able to understand all that legal jargon and complicated terminology. Thankfully, nowadays you can literally scan and upload any contract to ChatGPT and the A.I. will explain it to tell, and warn you about the important stuff. I absolutely hate insurance companies!

The Golden Rule Condemns Them All

Jesus warned in Matthew 7:1-2 that by what measure we judge others, we shall be judged. “  Matthew 7:12, ”Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” I have no doubt that Duckduckgo and Microsoft have a bunch of cute but lame excuses to justify their shady business practices, but that won't fly with God. The bottom line is that people are being scammed and hurt, while these big companies do nothing to stop it.

The burden shouldn't be placed upon consumers to find, expose and try to stop these ungodly thieves who prey upon the public, while these billion dollar companies continue facilitating these conniving evildoers with impunity. Where is justice? Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
