Ah yes, another fine example of a liar getting caught up in the middle of weaving their web of lies. In this case, the fake marine gets called out, and then proceeds to lash out and threaten to arrest the dude who called him on his antics. The irony being that the fake marine was the one who could get arrested. When will the liars ever learn? Maybe some time in the future.

That is one way to deal with a phone scammer. Never forget the time that this programmer decided to write a script that called phone scammers 28 times a second, which resulted in service denial, which prevented future scams.
This failed scam artist had the audacity to try and scam the same shop three times in a row. Not once, not twice, but three times! Absolutely absurd.
This case of a parking lot Karen losing it, ends in one satisfying and petty revenge. Specifically, the hysterical Karen in question claims that the car physically hit her. Well, it sounds like no such thing occurred. Instead, it actually sounds like the car came to a screeching halt, about 15 feet away from her. Fortunately, the dash cam was around to confirm this story.
Always love to see a scammer fail at selling their BS to the world.
This landlord thought they'd simply scam another few tenants with a BS "cleaning fee." Fortunately, these tenants decided to fight back with a smart and effective revenge. You better believe that the landlord is kicking himself now, to the tune of $6,000. Ouch, but definitely deserved.
In what world does someone think that if they complain about their new washer being broken that they'll get a second one and just get to have two washers? Seriously. Customers can be a handful but sometimes people get through to them with an honest approach. For when you can't, here are some customer service memes to help laugh away the pain.
That lady was on one! She tried and failed multiple scams. To continue trying to push scams after her "unopened power tools" ended up being a box of newspapers was an unreal kind of bold.
The world of scamming attempts isn't all just idiot scammers getting trolled, though we love to see it. Sometimes there's some really believable phishing attempts out there that you wouldn't have thought of. Scammers can dig up personal information in order to help give themselves false credibility, like this guy who almost fell for another believable scam.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share things they're aware of that people wrongfully think are scams, but actually are nothing of the sort. Those crazy things like the dentist and sites that require you to enter your credit card information before you can purchase their legitimate products, are actually just around to help you. The paranoid suspicions are fair in a world that can feel like it's just trying to pull one over on you, too often.
There are a surprising amount of businesses out there that exist not because their service requires that much time or skill, but because of some dubious sociological precedent in place, or because they actively try to keep people from knowing the truth. Unlike these things people wrongfully think are scams, some industries are just run by bastards.
Sometimes people come into a store ready to start swinging. When this customer called this business a scam, the owner chose to respond with some convincing aspects of the whole story that were left out of the original review. Business owners tend to put a staggering amount of time and energy into responding to negative reviews, like this person who left a one star review and was met with justified condemnation.
Someone on AskReddit asked people to share those things that people should seriously stop buying. Whether it's buying into MLMs, or purchasing those sketchy bath products that give off all kinds of questionable chemicals, the following should serve as a guide into how you can avoid spending your money recklessly.
We like to see idiot scammers get trolled, but sometimes they're incredibly clever and have access to way more of your information than you thought. Seriously, someone can dig up tons of personal information on you like your family members and past addresses in order to look legit, and frankly that's spooky as hell. This guy had to deal with just that but thankfully had the sense to back out.
