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.

This video required a ton of dedication on his part, with little advantage for himself. A true scammer fighting hero in the making right here, folks.

Hey girl, iTs NoT a PyRaMiD sChEmE those are iLleGal! When this spicy and overly enthusiastic pyramid schemer got called out for being just that, she didn't take too kindly to it. Even went ahead and tried to flash that big 'ol 6-figure earnings info. Thing is, how much did it take for her to spend to get there?

Jim Browning can't stand scammers and tries his best to make their jobs as hard as possible. In this video, he gives a more insider perspective on a specific group of scammers, how they operate, and some of the particularly evil things they do. He also takes the opportunity to throw a few wrenches into their operation.
If you find some nice boots on amazon for 3 dollars, you should half expect to get a picture of boots mailed to your house. This stuff is either ridiculously small, a completely shoddy version of what was advertised, or just something totally different entirely. For some more amazon shenanigans, here are some fantastically funny and creative reviews.
The unfortunate thing about most scammer trolling stories is that even though the scammer might waste some time or look like an idiot, they're never really punished for their malicious behavior. This time around, the scammer gets the tables turned on him and actually loses something out of the deal. Oh, the call is recorded too. The real action happens near the end of the recording.

Quiet intimidation is a terrifying thing. Props to this guy. Not all heroes wear capes!
Hunter Nelson is the villain in this stomach-turning tale, centered on the disappearance and potential passing of a beautiful dog named, Ollie, who never had a say in the matter. What happened here, and the shadow tactics at play to hide from the truth, is humanity at its very worst. The texts from the "dog trainer" show every sign of one twisted scam.
Sometimes, it's easier to will ourselves into believing a blatant lie, cause it's just that--easier. Unpacking and deconstructing a lie (scam), can be exhaustive, require effort, and very little at that; but, it does. Without it, we can find ourselves in the middle of getting forked around by a pyramid scheme we set out to play into with the best of personal intentions; without knowing what was actually happening.
