I’m sure most are aware of the various methods used by scammers to take advantage of people, they all suck, but I figured out a way to ‘get even’ w/ them.
It started w/a text claiming to be my boss in a meeting and he needed me to help him get some gift cards.
I knew it was total bullshit from the very beginning, but decided to ‘play along’ just to get some laughs at their expense.
I “complied” with their requests to get photos of the codes on the backs of Apple cards, but instead of sending them photos of the codes, I searched the interweb for a middle finger photo.
I followed that w/ an apology, then sent a pic of an actual asshole; real close up and wrinkly; and then another apology!
They were so excited about the possibility of scamming a quick buck, they kept texting me back!
That’s when I looked up photos of a more graphic nature, accompanied by additional apologies… AND THEY KEPT TEXTING BACK!
I won’t share the images here, but with captions like, “Does this look infected?” and “Does this mean my dog has worms?”, you get the idea.
Here’s the last part of the conversation…
Maybe they’ll stop reaching out to me now!
