Since then, I know they can be some source of fun. 🖕 scammers, you can have fun interacting with them!

One time a scammer called our office and tried to make out like someone had hacked our tax account and had run up a huge tax bill. Like that's even a thing. What this clown didn't know was that the office he'd rung was a shared business line, my wife is an accountant and was running her accounting practice, I'm an IT guy running a computer repair business specialising in network security. Usually one of my employees did the phone answering but by sheer coincidence I was waiting on a call and picked it up when it rang. Oh the fun I had with him on that phonecall. I still daydream about that. Good times. Fancy ringing a network security specialist and an accountant and trying to tell them their computer had been hacked and their tax bill was now huge because of the hack. Of course he had no idea who he was ringing, what a goose. LOL. One of my off-siders was a bit of a Linux guru and set up a box with Windows running in a shell, and a few delicious bait files. His fave pastime was calling back the scammers who had left automated messages and leading them on a wild goose chase. It ate into our work time sometimes but I fully supported it because the amusement value we derived from it was priceless. I've certainly enjoyed watching the work of Scammer Payback (Pierogi) and Jim Browning, and the other guys who do that saintly work. It reminds me of the laughs we had when my off-sider had a fish on the line. He would yell out "fish on! fish on!" and we would drop everything and run into the workshop to watch the hilarity ensue.

The person who wanted to see ‘his childhood home’ wanted to case the joint to see if there was anything worth steeling, what kind of security/vulnerabilities there might be and get an idea of who all lives there. I had someone come to my door with this line at my previous home. I casually asked ‘so the old fireplace in the master bedroom, was it ever usable? I don’t see any flu but it looks like a real fireplace’. He said ‘oh yeah, my parents used to love sitting and watching the fire on cool evenings with us kids’. There is not and never was a fireplace in the master bedroom. The only fireplace was in the living room and it was a 60 year old electric fireplace… no flames. Suggested maybe he had the wrong address, memories are not always accurate. As soon as he left I called the police to report a suspicious person in the neighborhood and posted the interaction on the community facebook page. The police told me it’s not uncommon for that to happen in certain neighborhoods. Or they will pretend to be from the gas/electrical/etc company inspecting for some danger that has been found in the area… in that case you should call the company they claim to be from and verify before they make it through the front door.

18:38 ...Okay... I legit did do this once. I went to the old house I grew up in - the one my brother died in, unfortunately. I was leaving the state and just wanted to say goodbye to my old neighborhood. I asked if I could just look around for a moment, and at first they were like "Hell no." - and I understood and went to walk away, but the man in the garage asked me a few questions, and realized I was legit. Turns out, that if someone dies in a house in Texas, you have to note it. You have to say how many, and in what manner they died. I told them my story, and they were pretty grateful to know the truth. No one told them it was a child. They asked his name, and I showed them a picture, and they said they'd remember him and think of him for me. There were still some old initials and dates my brother and I carved in the attic where they used to be. It was really nice being able to go inside. I showed them old pictures, too - so we could compare the 90's version of the house to the 2010 version it was at the time. It was really healing, and my boyfriend (now husband) was supportive of me trying. He was also surprised when they let me in - but I think the old photos really helped and the fact I knew the story. I was touched on how nice they were.

I remember once I got hit by a Discord scam. As a preface, I'm an aspiring games developer; The setup was something along the lines of "Hey I'm a student in a game design class. Would you be willing to help me test my game?" As an aspiring games developer myself I absolutely understand needing to get people to test for your games especially early in development, and especially if you're still learning. I know the whole "never download anything from people you don't know" but they were in a mutual server I was in and I thought, "Yeah sure, I'll help lend a hand to this kid cuz I empathize." In fairness the program _did_ present as a rudimentary 'Breakout' style game, which is a decent 'beginner' game for students. I even scanned it with my various anti-virus' which came up clean. It wasn't until the following morning when my account suddenly had like $900+ of Nitro gift purchases that I realized I fucked up. Fortunately I reported it immediately to both Discord and my Bank, got financial records, sorted it out with my bank, got all my money back within a couple weeks and everything was groovy. And to really solidify that it wasn't pure coincidence, I had another user from a different server messaging me like a month later with the same setup. Immediately told them to get stuffed.

@@kabblerxd My best advice is probably the most obvious and repeated, Don't download or click links on ANYTHING from ANYONE you don't trust. Also be wary even of possible scam e-mails that might say certain accounts are compromised or even possibly fake 'confirm login attempt' emails. Nothing wrong with just opening the email and reading it to see if it looks legit or not, but don't click on anything in the email, not even an 'Unsubscribe' button unless you're absolutely sure it's coming from an official source (Like unsubscribing from an actual service that you're actually subscribed to and you've confirmed is from a legitimate email representing that service). Cuz if nothing else you can just block or mark those spam senders as spam. Most importantly, trust your gut. If you think there's a chance something might be off, there probably is. Of course it doesn't hurt to double check. Often times when I get suspicious messages or emails I'll just search the approximate sort of 'framing' for the thing in question. Like If I get an email claiming to be from Microsoft or something, even if it looks 100% legit, I'll still search the sending email to see if it's a common scam sender. Or I'll just double check what the official support email senders are supposed to be, or look like. Same goes for messages if they're asking you to do anything, or even sending them things that seem innocuous. Like as an exmaple I get a lot of people who try to scam me for my Roblox account/inventory. Their angle is usually "Hey we were wondering if we could use your avatar model for a thumbnail for a project/video we're working on?" Then they walk you through a tutorial for basically how to 'rip the model' from the website data (since theoretically that data 'should' technically exist) In reality they're tricking you into sending them metadata from the page that allows them to bypass 2FA and basically hijack your login token which gives them access to your account. I damn near did it too cuz they even make you save it as an .obj or .fbx or something. But at the last minute I was like, "No this seems too suspicious" and I even tried opening that data myself in blender but of course there was no model to be found. Lo and behold when I googled that setup, turns out it's actually a relatively common scam. Or another example where I got an email saying my Blizzard account info/password was changed, but instead of going through the links provided in the email (which looked legit) I just went straight to the actual Blizzard site and went through their official support channels on their page only to find out I never actually had a Blizzard account with that email to begin with. Bottom line like I said, if it seems off, it probably is, even if it seems innocuous otherwise. Oh and get an adblock (I personally recommend UBlock Origin through the extensions store on Google) Not that ads are really a big source of viruses and shit anymore, but it does help avoid accidentally clicking on bad links when sites have garbage ads with popups or redirects.

I nearly got scammed from something like it. I recently freaked out and changed my password because I thought something strange was going on in Roblox (Turned out to be a visual glitch) and changed my passwords. Through the panic I immediately forgot what I changed them to so I contacted roblox support. I got 2 E-Mails which were almost the exact same but the second one sent a link so I opened up a Private window (Which hides your IP and stuff) and pasted in the link. Its a SCARILY accurate re-creation of the offical roblox Password change. Luckily I managed to spot it out since there were a few spelling mistakes. Things like that scare me tho and after I went to the place I scanned an anti-virus a couple times and nothing came through.

@@kabblerxd necro reply here, but a private browser window will _not_ hide your ip. essentially the only thing it will do is act as if you'd just installed the browser (so no cookies, history, etc), and cookies, history, etc will not be carried over to your normal windows. that's pretty much it, there are no extra safety or privacy features unless you have extensions installed specifically for that.

I had a friend in her 80's. I tried to educate her about phone scams. One day I told her about the "your grandson is in jail & needs bail" scams. The very next day she got that scam call. But she told me she had such fun toying with them! She said if I hadn't told her about it, she may have fallen for it.

But be prepared to be put on a list for more scams if you do engage with them. Many of the email and phone text scams are just to verify they go to a human being, especially if they ask you to reply with STOP (word of advice, don't). Once they get verification, your number/email becomes active and they sell it in giant lists on the black market (or even sometimes through legitimate businesses).

I was selling a Queen bedframe for $25, included the exact measurements and said right in the description that this will NOT fit two twin matresses (as that makes a long king). I added the last part to the description after having two separate inquiries asking if two twins would fit. The guy who bought it "mansplained" upon pickup that two twins make a queen. He then messaged later that I lied and that I sold him a double bedframe not a queen. He wanted a refund. He didn't get one.

Scamers actually include spelling errors and bad English, specifically as way of weeding out targets. If your someone that notices these errors are not likely to be a target likely to fall for the longer scam. So if you see it's a scam and can waste some of the time, it's taking up their time which could be spent scaming someone less fortunate.

Scammers say “Trojan virus” like “ray-tracing GPU” or “convertible car”, but it’s really more like “black cat” or “6mm bolt.” Trojan just means the malicious code was appended onto a useful executable (usually pirated software), rather than being all by itself. It doesn’t mean the malware is extra powerful, or has some extreme capabilities, it just means the attacker did a little extra work to try to make their lies look plausible for a longer time.

Much like Nails Newton (The 'Let Them Eat Pie' quest giver) does, you just need to scam the scammer back.
