    Another aspect that I’ve seen on reports is that some of these scammers who call aren’t participating voluntarily. I’m sure it’s a minority of scammers, but there are operations where some of these folks, especially those connected with the romance scams, are evidently being coerced. They can be punished severely if they don’t produce at a level their bosses think appropriate. That doesn’t mean you should give in or anything, that just creates an incentive for more people to be trafficked, but not all of these scammers you interact with are the OG bad guy/gal. They may be a victim too.

    There’s this house I walk past sometimes that’s just full of Amazon boxes. Stacked high on both porches, and you can see them in every window. I always thought someone was hoarding empty boxes for some reason, but now I wonder! 🤔

    The best way to get back at scammers is to waste a valuable asset, preferably time. If they’re messing around with you pretending to be an idiot then that’s less time that they have to prey on others.

  17. @28ebdh3udnav

    November 5, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    Always save gift cards that you have recently used to use it against them to waste their time

    “Don’t get scammed.” Don’t tell me what to do.

    The IRS scam.

    “if you don’t pay 10 thousand right now, you will go to jail!”

    “”I know you are a scammer, I actually owe 50 thousand!”

    Some websites, especially banking sites, are forcing text message or email 2FA. So annoying. I have an Auth app, let me use that.

    I’ve been called a hard N’r like hard r by a scammer. I talked to them for ten minutes about my apple account and I don’t even own a computer. Lol
