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

[Sweepies]

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.

Check out Kitboga on You Tube 😂 he’s brill

So so hilarious…thanks OP for that 😅

If they've given you actual bank details do report it to the relevant banks (send the full set of messages working in bank customer services can be a boring job!!)

If you're not sure which bank stick the sort code here and it will tell you. Usually they will suspend the account and invite the account holder to contact them. Sort code checker

Thanks so much for sharing! I had a good giggle to myself :)

I cracked up laughing at that part. Brilliant 😂👏🏻

Haha Scorcher!! Conner is an apt name for a conman.

I really enjoyed that.

I recently impulsively answered a call from a suspicious number that I knew was going to be a scam. It was. Caller said he was calling about my crypto acct. I said, Oh, good. I've been waiting for your colleague to call me but I guess he's busy. He was going to confirm my two accounts. Could you please do that?
Caller was, uhhh. I said something like I was planning on combining the accts but unsure about it now. As I was speaking mid-sentence I ended the call and blocked the number. For the next half hour I rec'd a call from a suspicious number every few mins and I just declined the call and blocked each number. Not many scam call s lately. 🤷‍♀️

I got one the other day and I was so tempted to be like ‘is it Julia or Clare??’ And when they say ‘Clare’ be like hah! My daughters name is blancmange actually.

it’s not funny but it was like midnight and my brain was doing it’s bizarre things

😂

They watch too many zombie movies.

My mum got one of these and I’d never heard of the scam (and I work in that industry!!)

man I’ve just read it to her and she was wetting herself. Loved the ‘dont spend it on cockiness and chicken’ 😂😂😂

did they just stop replying?

There's a woman on TikTok that has a landline in her home and she claims to not know the number but it seems to have been signed up to loads of telemarketing companies. Each time she answers her phone she has another witty welcome message. I'll see if I can find her and post her name/handle. She says she's a crematorium amongst other things!

This one is particularly good:

This is the woman that I was talking about:

😂😂😂🤗👍🏻

‘Conner’!! Superb! 🤣

Very good, I do like things like this.

It reminds me of something similar that I read many many years ago, it was a scam email from one of those looking for money, the guy posted daily updates on the biker forum he was on, it was so funny it went viral, every chat site had the thread link and everyone everywhere was reading it. The site actually crashed one day, never found it after, have looked but no joy.

The best thing I read online was signing them up to spam services. So you can add their email or number to something dodgy like puppies being sold on gumtree and they will be spammed with messages/calls

Post his mobile Number we can all have a go

Soooo funny

Me too. And the sparkly crocs for Nan's funeral
You're really creative. You should write a novel!

The issues with signing up the phone number of the scam caller to nuisance services is that the scammers' numbers are spoofed. They are usually real phone numbers belonging to legitimate business/unsuspecting people now.

This has absolutely made my morning! Bravo!

🤣🤣🤣🤣Brilliant!

That was so funny thank you!
