Which seems to be a standard by-now-pay-later company, which isn’t necessarily a scam, but those companies are very predatory with excessive fees and interest rates and such so they certainly feel scammy. I didn’t do a deep dive on them so I can’t say if they’re necessarily any worse or less legit than any other company (or maybe even better)
But four.com seems to be some sort of enterprise authenticator/SSO company . The website is weird because it doesn’t really tell you much about them, it just kind of has a link to request an invite to sign up
I figure there’s two main options with that. Either they’re sort of a fly by night company just sort of squatting on the domain hoping to profit off of selling it and just have the shell of a website up to give an air of legitimacy
Or they’re just really focused on their enterprise customers and see no reason to really have a public-facing webpage, either your company uses them and you need to log in to manage your account, or you have no real business with them. Maybe they’re sort of a legacy system that a parent company is keeping around to fulfill a contract, maybe they’re getting enough business from in-person sales and word-of-mouth and don’t feel the need to risk overextending themselves by marketing more aggressively
Or of course it could be something nefarious, but without looking into them too much nothing on the face of the website gives me any particular reason to think that.
I just hate searching for shit and landing on Reddit, I think Lemmy could do better, maybe I’m wrong. Too many people on Reddit maybe to compete. I dunno why isn’t Lemmy like this?
its a buy now pay later scam everyone should avoid
I think you’re thinking of paywithfour.com

Is that all it is just a scam? No just four.com
I would think that domain is worth millions, why scam?
That’s paywithfour.com, which looks entirely unrelated. I don’t know what’s behind four.com
I see Reddit comments when I search but can we not do better Lemmy?
Looking at the things they have on their status page my guess would be some stupid blockchain thing.
Edit: Also the chain around the logo
We need to dig like Reddit.
Figure it out yourself, binch
OK man I’m working on it now…
I don’t care enough to look any deeper, a crypto scam is even dumber than a buy now pay later scam
