    Default Honey scam blown wide open

    Youtuber MegaLag has blown this scam wide open. Honey, a google chrome extension that promises to find coupon codes for you at checkout, has a sinister side.

    Wow. That's rather devious. I saw the referrals but never installed. Glad I didn't.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    I've only used it to compare prices. Great insight though.

    It has begun folks. Class action lawsuit has been filed against Honey / Paypal.

    Influencers suing Honey/PayPal may be the beginning and could also be a pre-emptive strike. I wouldn't be surprised if the influencers' followers sue the influencers themselves for misleading them because they didn't get the discounts/coupons as "promised".
