I Love to Bug Scammers

Tweet

On several occasions I have run into scammers either on the phone, my computer or in emails. They make me so mad I love to mess with them. I've had about four instances. The first one was about 3-4 years ago when a scam was going around where the scammer either had a large amount of money or they were giving you some object. But you needed to send them money to pay for shipping or something like that. So I got this one scammer to the point where I was going to go to the bank and get the money and he would call me back in a certain amount of time. I wait for his phone call back. He affirms that I have the money. Oh, no. i thought he wanted me to put the money in the bank. Or some such rubbish. Oh, he would get so mad at me. Then at the appropriate moment I would just hang up. He'd try back and I wouldn't answer. I love to infuriate them. Now there seems to be a new scam on Facebook. They get you to answer a question in one of the thousands of groups there now. Then they answer back to your messenger with this question. What would you do if I sent you $50,000? This dorky named person (fake I am sure) messages me with that question. I was bored and so I messaged back with some smart remark. He kept at me. He just needed my name and address, and he would bring the money right to me. I would tell him I knew exactly what he was doing and I would never send him that info. But I am being so nice and just want to help you. He went on and on for a long time. I went on and on too. And, get this...... The next day he came on again asking if I would talk to him. Oh, my goodness. I wonder if these people accumulate a lot of info and then they sell it to scammers or how exactly this works. But it is a big thing on FB right now. Lots of groups and people join and then they get messaged by these scammers.
