So I look through the whole son died PS5 on Facebook thing. I know a number of them will block you if you point out it’s a scam so I try to warn people through messaging privately. But I’ve found someone I want to mess with. But yeah I told them I live in Indiana and they told me they live in. Wisconsin. I tell them that’s just 2 states away I can go all the way there. They still do insist on paying shipping. So I want to find a way to mess with them and waste their time thinking they have a potential victim.
I’ve really enjoyed the videos of James Veitch on annoying scanners. Especially this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHDDSekvcE. The scammer wants him to contact this “bank” and open an account. He than makes up, that he read somewhere that you get a free toaster with any new account. He than goes on and on about the free toaster until the scanner asks him to stop emailing him.
The addresses they’ll send are mostly shipping companies that take stuff and ship them directly to another country. Check their address, you’ll very likely see such a building that advertises to ship stuff.
Tell them to contact you in ways they’re not designed to, maybe stretch them thin in the process.
I think I saw a video of someone using ChatGPT voice feature and hand it over to the scammer, who thought they’re dealing with a real person.
Similarly, this guy would let Lenny handle it: https://youtu.be/XSoOrlh5i1k?si=PA1FWk4x3pYRpr3x
Block them and move on. Half of scamming is getting money. The other half is trolling by wasting the target’s time.
I get it though. These assholes piss everyone off. Wanna counter them? Get really good at a hobby. Fall in love. Make a fuck ton of money. Etc.
Wasting even a moment of your time on these pieces of shit is time you aren’t doing the above. Don’t let them take from you that which you owe yourself
