Was I being unreasonable to keep a scammer on the ropes for 2 days?

Light-hearted really and just wanted to share, loads of these scams floating around out there and the worrying part is some people probably do fall for them, but I had my fun.

Hilarious, thank you for sharing.

Hi
You and people like me and you are doing a service to our vulnerable by engaging with these crooks and keeping the crooks off vulnerable targets.

When DH answer the scammers soon end the call but for ladies, most will chat along when you flirt and start talking dirty and then tell them you did it with their mum, lol. That really winds up 99% of them

“Your waffling” 😂

Baldrickhasaplan · 20/01/2023 14:41

This is a public service. Whilst they’re wasting time with you, they don’t have time to scam someone else. Keep them as busy as possible for as long as possible.

Fudgeytastic · 20/01/2023 14:43

You've made my Friday with this 👏

Dartmoorcheffy · 20/01/2023 14:44

I laughed at "your waffling" 🤣🤣🤣

SweetSenorita · 20/01/2023 14:45

Love it. You should have yer own show 😘

SophyRivenhall · 20/01/2023 14:47

I enjoyed that a lot. Excellent work OP!

Newtrix · 20/01/2023 14:49

This has made my day!

HoofWankingSpangleCunt · 20/01/2023 14:51

Brava Op!

That was bloody brilliant and also has inspired me to do the same. I love the addition of the sparkly shoe, Nan’s funeral and the Conorlingus.

I hope I get a scammer message soon so I can follow in your sparkly footsteps.

listsandbudgets · 20/01/2023 14:52

Thanks OP. YADNBU - keeps us entertained and keeps Connor away from the vulnerable / gullible.

But please publish Connor's number... we'd all like to send him messages and see how he is. I'm sure I can't be the only mumsnetter with a list of jobs for him - dog needs walking, could he pick me up half a dozen mangos on the way home, goat needs milking and he'll need to pop home and fix the internet so I can transfer the funds

This is just beautiful!!!! I've received a flurry of unsolicited sales calls today ( phone flashes up "suspected fraud") and I've answered with a big deep lion roar! Such fun!!!

livingthegoodlife · 20/01/2023 14:55

Fabulous 👏

MrsElba · 20/01/2023 14:58

Comedy gold! 'Connorlingus' 🤣 You've put my efforts to shame and thoroughly made my Friday

isthisit83 · 20/01/2023 14:59

This made my day 😂😂

usedtolovenaps · 20/01/2023 14:59

'Have a break, have a kit-kat (unless your bastard dad eats it of course LOL) - this cracked me up 😂😂😂

Excited101 · 20/01/2023 15:02

That was phenomenal!

crosspusscrossstitcher · 20/01/2023 15:02

Well done Mrs Waffles! 🥇🥇🥇

pippinsleftleg · 20/01/2023 15:03

Connerlingus 😂

Dad is a dirty old bastard!

AnotherVice · 20/01/2023 15:04

I wish I'd had more fun when they tried this on me now!

Brilliant OP and also @AnotherVice
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they read the replies. Bet you’re both called all sorts 😂
