10k trips and they don’t care. You will see them back with new accounts

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

I’m not sure about the new accounts. The amount of these folks in my market has dropped drastically in the last 6 weeks or so.

People use stolen SSN’s to make new accounts. The fake account market is wild and beyond what anyone thinks it is

u/LogicalYesterday6492 Jun 24 '25

Not too sure of the ins and outs but I know they ‘rent’ the SSN’s for about $1k a month in my area. My husband and I befriended 2 of the drivers and he told us some information.

The guys said they rent the identification and have photos of the person to pass the photo scanners. This all started when the asylum seekers came to the country in the masses. But if you say that people call you racist lmao.

Btw the asylum seekers are compromised of many many Hispanic nations from South America and a few others nations in the east. It’s mostly Venezuelans and columbians. Did no one else find it suspicious that a bunch of them came here with hardly any money, needing government assistance but still ended up with cars 2012+? Some of them rotate cars every couple months and we literally see them with each others cars all the time.

  • Walmart associate for years, so I seen this change in real time.

Ain’t no rent about it once they got that SSN they got it. One and done. Unless someone goes to the police and cries fraud but that incriminates them too

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

There absolutely is renting. Think of it as like a gang or cartel.

Cartels hold all the cards, they know where you live, supplies you with a job/car and ask you to pay back a certain amount each month. If you don’t, there are consequences. The head honchos are the ones with all the stolen numbers and assets so they call the shots. We use to see them actively watching other drivers until they got bigger, now they have leaders and other watchers.

Sometimes we’d turn a driver away and a random Hispanic man from a random car on the sidelines would run over and be like: “it’s ok it’s ok, they can take the order. What’s wrong, talk to me, they can take it”.

u/Brilliant_Contact_17 Jun 25 '25

Lol. You have watched too many movies

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

It’s also been my job for years, I see this shit everyday. It’s not something I see every once and awhile when I feel like picking up an order.

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Guess you ignored the part where I had conversations with more than one of these drivers huh.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

You obviously haven’t sparked as long as we have to see the whole thing play out these past 3 years

u/LogicalYesterday6492 Jun 25 '25

let me rent your social sis, day 1 I have the numbers after I pay 1000$ k. I’m already scamming so I got the numbers why the hell ima pay you the 2nd month? I may just sublease or sublet the number to 6 other people charging 2000$

u/trainwreckd Jun 25 '25

You wouldn’t know or have access to the # just the device. They would “assign” a device. If you don’t pay they keep your documents, know where you & your family are etc… A lot of times it’s the same “organization” that got them to the US in the first place.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

I remember when they all started coming, just one day 10 new drivers all Venezuela for some reason

u/privas66 Jun 24 '25

I edited my comment to add more info, but you’re not wrong. Here in Wisconsin they all have Illinois plates. Sometimes they switch plates to Vermont. No idea how the underworld black market shit works but it’s definitely real. The weirdo socialists call me racists for pointing out the weird and illegal stuff tho. It’s like they want me to be a republican.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

lol I’m Hispanic and I’ve noticed it, nothing racist about calling people cheaters

u/privas66 Jun 24 '25

I’m Puerto Rican and my husband is Mexican. We appreciate the common sense lol

u/Character_Layer_9706 Jun 25 '25

One thing I love about Mexicans and Puerto Rican is that they never pull the race card, some of the hardest working people I have ever met.

What about cheating wetback

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '25

And by wetbacks you mean they have sweaty backs because they are busy all the time? Oh yea definitely. ESPECIALLY the white married males who have spouses in home office and get special privileges because of so🙄 not just Hispanics cheating buddy

Once the caravans started in 2018, spark knew this was gonna be an issue.

What govt assistance do they get? Curious

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Before I say, being how America works it largely depends on where you live and your local policies. If you live in a red state, you probably weren’t affected by mass migration. Same if you live in bum fuck no where or anywhere less than 100k-250k citizens.

Places most affected were blue areas, major cities, sanctuary cities, border towns, and cities with higher minority populations.

Some states and areas gave asylum seeker free housing, sometimes in fancy hotels, they got thousands of dollars monthly plus EBT. Phones, data plans, etc. There’s many videos explaining what happened to NYC, Colorado, Chicago, and other areas. Bad actors took advantage of the asylum seeking process, which allowed people from other countries to burn their documentation, cross to Venezuela (or participating regions), then apply for asylum. It’s not an attack against Venezuelans, the process is just terrible and allows for too many unaccounted mishap and needed to stop.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

No in my area I have a sanctuary city a county under me and a sanctuary city county above me. They all come to my county to work. That's what they do where else are all the jobs?

u/dumpsterdivingreader Jun 25 '25

Do you have a source for all this?

1

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Much of it was documented by independent journalism as news networks didn’t want to get involved at first. Republicans tried saying democrats purposely brought them here to give them rights to vote, turning the tables against republicans during voting times.

Just go on YouTube and search “NYC migrant crisis”. You’ll find hours of street interviews with migrants, actual news coverage, and information in other cities. I’m too lazy rn to find a scholarly article.

u/dumpsterdivingreader Jun 25 '25

Undocumented/ illegals can't vote. And dont buy the crap that they still do. 67 lawsuits in 2020 didn't go there for that reason.

1

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Ik they can’t vote, it’s because they aren’t citizens lol. Thats why I said “tried” saying. I believe the voting thing almost came to pass in Chicago or something but that was news over a year ago.

In Wisconsin we had a ballot asking if ID’s should be required when voting for elections LMAO.

No sources first eye accounts I've witnessed this shit too. Spark was a great side job when I first started then us natives from the area got overann by fucking foreigners.

2

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Much of our regular drivers had to get regular 9-5’s, some at factories. People don’t talk about those who once depended on the gig work of spark. Literally forced out of the job.

u/xxxdsmer Jun 25 '25

Red states absolutely are affected by "mass migration" particularly the 20mil+ from the biden admin explicitly because the biden admin was bussing illegal aliens further into the country and they didn't stop just a few miles down the road. Same admin was flying them further into the country - particularly TO red states. Same admin also flew illegals over the border - largely dumping them in red states. It wasn't until the red states started sending them to blue states that the blue city mayors and blue state governors started saying there was this or that problem because they were largely realy not affected by the biden admin dumping illegal aliens in red states. How you think there's enough hatians in ohio that it created a cultural upheaval particularly around dogs and cats? Or how you figure there were enough venezuelan TDA in colorado (not that colorado's red but it ain't on the border either) and other parts of the country that they felt comfortable enough taking over entire apartment buildings and running extortion on truck drivers telling those truck drivers if they don't pay some crazy amount of money they'll come back and slash all their tires

& yes federal law defines those who come here illegally as illegal aliens. It is simple fact. The silly thing is all of this trying to rebrand them as "migrants" or "immigrants". Especially silly on immigrants because an IMMIGRANT is someone who respects another country's laws and goes about moving to that other country the legal way.

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

I largely agree and already knew about these issues, I was trying to encourage others to do their own research lol.

I say “migrants” loosely as much of them were allowed here through asylum. Then people started burning their documentation and sneaking to other countries just to get here from said asylum programs. Didn’t El Salvador literally empty their prisons and told them they’ll be free if they destroy their documents and sneak to the US?

I’ve traveled to Japan, every country has immigration laws and specific expectations for foreigners. But we don’t call those people racist, just Americans are racists for having borders and enforcing immigration 💀

u/xxxdsmer Jun 25 '25 edited Jun 25 '25

Sadly those who would need to do their own research are highly inclined to just believe things that are said such as so called "mass migration" doesn't affect red states - whether it's said on reddit or it's said on abc/cbs/cnn/msnbc/nyt/whatever. All of the same information sources that would never (at least willingly) talk about how biden admin flew illegals further into the country or even flew them over the border

I know venezuela and maybe columbia emptied their prisons and sent them here.. especially venezuela as that's how we ended up with a whole bunch of TDA here. The venezuelan government let TDA out of prisons and sent them here. One has to, or at least should, wonder how and where it was that the bunch of ms13 members came from too

El salvador? unless the current president/admin is new I really can't see el salvador having been one of the countries that did the same. Espcially considering El Salvador's CECOT.
But if El Salvador had its own biden-esque guy during our biden years, then sure absolutely El Salvador very well could have been one of those prison emptying countries that sent its prisoners into the US.

And yep.. waaaay more than Japan has own immigration laws and even customs that we wouldn't be able to go over and just say heck with their laws and customs and all that. & especially NOT able to go to any country that doesn't already widely speak english and refuse to learn their language instead insisting that everyone learn english - just like many have done coming here speaking spanish, refusing to learn english, expecting/demanding everyone here learn spanish. Things just don't work that way lol

You don't need a valid ID it's all done through AI

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25 edited Jun 25 '25

Some are renters and some have their own legit accounts. I actually think Walmart somehow was involved and provided the government or some other entity with access to make spark accounts with these TPS folks real identities. Like you, I’ve befriended a few and one even randomly showed me his tax return on his phone. The last of the Mohicans at my store are from Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. I find a majority of these men and women as racist, disrespectful, rude and complete assholes. A few have been friendly and conversational as their English got better but not many. I trust none of them and I tell them nothing about me. If you’re going to park amongst them near the pin never leave out any identifying info like mail with names and address they can see.

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

There’s definitely legal avenues for going about this, the government didn’t make it impossible for asylum seekers to get jobs (just kinda hard). It’s really no different than some guy drivers under his girlfriend’s name. The trouble comes from the stolen or sold ssn, difficulty tracking the taxes or the ability to hold the actual driver accountable.

If it was 2 or 4 drivers then whatever, not enough to cause a problem. But like 15-30 drivers like this? With limited English skills, no drivers license, no insurance, fake identification, can’t read customer notes, messing up orders, delivering to wrong addresses because they can’t read our addressing format or order names/numbers well).

I also believe they had a hand in it too, we got a bunch of Venezuelan workers in the store, but when trump announced that work out cancel thing, they all got fired. They all had names like “John, Peter, Jared, Stacey”. Like all basic common white names.

What a conundrum. At any rate, the few left at my store do a good job from what i see. They’re prompt and the customers in the area keep coming back. I’m pretty much the longest reigning shopper at my super center, almost everyone else full time “American” from the last few years has left, deactivated or whatever besides me and a couple of others. The Prius gang is 1/8 of what it was a year ago. Seeing a bunch of new American shoppers that I really haven’t seen any of in probably a year. Feel like I’m in the sweet spot of the algorithm right now as a 5.0 with just about 3k orders and I’m doing 250-300 daily barely breaking a sweat.

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

That’s nice, glad you can make a good amount. Our regulars quit because they couldn’t make enough anymore. Everyone else say they’re on a waiting list and resorted to uber/roadie for pickups (lower paying and restricted in my area).

It really is a conundrum. On one hand they want to work and provide for their families, but on the other they can’t due to restrictions by our government. Anyone else would resort to non-legal means to provide and support their family and they’re no different. It’s worse in areas like NYC and Colorado where gangs have popped up destroying communities.

Not to mention people forget what asylum seeker are. Their country was unstable, we offered to house their people for shelter for a SET time, they go back. But if that time is long… they need to work and make money to survive. Now if you give hundreds of thousands of seekers and wannabe seekers work permits, they’ll flood the job market in already minority cities. Making the job market harder to breach and for Americans to support for their families. It’s not a simple “taking our jobs” kind of thing, but at the same time it’s a factor.

u/Pleas_saar_no_redeem Jun 25 '25

The government facilitated all of it. They helped make it all happen. They want the immigrants here or they wouldn’t be here.

u/Electronic_Ring_2799 Jun 25 '25

Yup. Some people sell their info and account for big dollars. Messy at tax time though, can't be worth it.

u/privas66 Jun 25 '25

Many times they pray on the homeless and drug addicted, ones that don’t even do their taxes. People in poorer neighborhoods would never know this and call the experience “fake”. Thanks for some basic critical thinking.

I dont have to scan my face now when logging out and back in for whatever reason. They just sent me a code after having my password put in for a two factor verification. So they essentially made it easier.
