ScammerBeGone version 1.0

ScammerBeGone is a python script designed specifically to thwart scammers with fake submissions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
-------------------------------------
Program Requires the Installation of:
(1) Python, (python 3.7.4 or later version is recommended)
(2) IDE of your choice
(3) Have names.json, cities.json, and states.json downloaded in the same folder as ScammerBeGone.py
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Download ScammerBeGone.py, names.json, cities.json, and states.json and put them in the same folder.
-Open ScammerBeGone.py in an IDE or text editor and locate the sections with the request url and entry data.
-Open the scammer's google form and chrome's network inspector (Ctrl+Shift+I on windows) and submit a dummy response.
-Copy the form request url and paste it in the relavent section at the top of ScammerBeGone.py
-Copy the entry data under the Form Data section and substitute the relavant entry IDs in ScammerBeGone.py (should look like "entry.1688826498")
-If neccessary, change the entries to match the form (if there's no zipcode entry, remove it, etc.)
-[Optional] connect to a vpn service because google doesn't like 10k requests inside of 1 minute
-Save ScammerBeGone.py and run it
----------------------------------
Note: If the form has login required, this script won't be effective. If a workaround is found, it will be implemented in a future update
