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.

I’m the same with them. I haven’t had the test scam but I’ve had the email 419ers and strung them along for days. Also the phone scams. I actually felt bad for one guy he was so shaken up by me.

That is absolutely fantastic !

See I’d love to do this but am worried I’d be put on a list of people who fell for the initial scam?

i'm hoping they blacklist you for such behaviour?

I needed this, thank you!

I bought DS a book at Xmas out a bloke who strings them along complete with all the threads - will hunt it down and read it 🤣

Oh that was brilliant, I needed a laugh!

I had a lovely time stringing Microsoft along with my Apple computer... they hung up on me, which I think was a win!

Think I would have fun with a 'hey mum' message as I've no kids...

I need to ditch my husband and find myself a Connor just so I can put on daily requests for some Connorlingus. Or maybe it might be easier for him to change his name.

@NellietheElephantpackedhertrunks it was a couple of years ago now. But Safestyle are the window company-They will call that person everyday! I then google penis enlargement and found a company that do online consultations and booked him in for a date with a fake name. I just googled so many different things that popped into my mind throughout the day and signed him up for them with different stale, pale male names. One of my friends tried calling him later in the day and got through and gave a fake reason for calling the guy to try and find out who he was and he said he'd had "loads of weird calls that day". That made me happy. Yeah send a text to a woman who doesn't know you about her sucking your dick and you'll get payback, mate.
