Yeah I don't know why people do that.

I just removed that in my Google Messages app today. And just now in SwiftKey. I guess it came packaged in an update. It's annoying, I never asked for it, just one day it started suggesting them in the autocorrect. Dumb.

I'd love to see a study on the religiosity, political affiliation, education, wealth, career, and age of people who get scammed and the types of scams they fell for.

Credulous as well. Conspiracy theory and aliens magazines used to have tons of ads for scams.
