Annoying the Scammers

    I'm getting fed up of being contacted by scammers so now I've decided that I'm going to play their game, follow the rules, join their "team" whatsapp groups and drive them as mental as I can, all while posting content here for people to enjoy and for general awareness that this somehow still happens in 2024

    No category for this but feel there should be one

    So, random whatsapp message at 8pm in the evening offering my flexible remote work. The easiest 400USD per week I will ever make. All I need to do for these "profits" is review products for major retailers. 38 products per day.

    You even get 20USD for completing the training with my "special trainer". If I don't like the work I can still claim my 20USD and walk away happy

    So, I have my special login to the **** platform where somebody has made a very unsuccessful attempt to make it look like a super duper special Arnotts website where special people like me can make "lots of the profits".

    Oh dear……..

    I have started the review process and after 7 products i have run out of funds……..funds? What the hell. Its ok though, my super smart trainer is going to show me what do to here and safe the day

    Be very careful

    Dont let them gather any info on you

    Email address might give them your real name, name might give them your locality or date of birth from Facebook happy birthday messages

    Phone number, Name address and date of birth might be enought to take to your phone or broadband support and order a new sim and send to different address

    Yep. You are spot on. Just for the purpose of trying to ruin their day no real info at all. New email account, fake name, fake DoB, fake everything

    The day has been saved now though. My trainer Anniellia has funds ready to top up my training account via the Support team so I can continue. Looking good. 20USD will be in my pocket in no time.

    OK ask your trainer has anybody they trained ever developed romantic feelings for them? What's their favorite color star sign…… go off tangent and see how long it takes them to being you back in.
