scammer

When will the irritating scammers of this wild world ever learn that their scams are going to backfire on them at some point? This particular scammer thought they had some kind of airtight, foolproof plan for a free vacation, and oh boy were they wrong. We just love to see a scammer get their rightful comeuppance when it's all said and done! 

Aunt "Karen" (or Jay, but we thought Karen could be more fitting) came at this situation with all kinds of shady baggage and aggressive entitlement. This translated to her not being willing to pay family for their hard work on art pieces. On top of that, she was cleaning out credit cards, and racking up lavish expenses. In the end, Aunt Karen's greedy antics catch up with her. 

Sold out PlayStation 5s have been a boon to predatory scalpers everywhere, who are able to buy the consoles, continue the cycle of scarcity and resell them for a stupidly high price. It's unclear who'd be willing to pay upwards of a thousand dollars for a new game console, but people are dumb, so it's probably worth a shot. This guy got the attention of a dude trying to sell a PS5 for 900 dollars with a straight face, and decided to inconvenience him. For more messing with scammers, here's a guy who used made up neighbor drama to troll a scammer.

Don't go messing with Norwegians and their code of honor. Also, just don't be a scummy scammer like this dude. Apparently the scammer played the guy trying to buy an Xbox One for $600. Not cool! Fortunately, the revenge was successful and the scammer learned their lesson. 

Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like learning that you've been played by some manipulative, deceptive, straight up illegal scam. Unfortunately, the reality is that we share this world with many folks that are always proactively trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting victims. The good news though is that you can read up on a thread like this, and hopefully break free from the vicious cycle of falling for scams that Americans have been conditioned to accept. Along a similar vein check out this woman's wonderful experience with the Icelandic healthcare system. 

Scamming your way into a free lobster dinner is dishonest and stupid. But complaining that your lobster is bad, then finishing it, then going to a different restaurant and getting more lobster? That takes some nards, man. It's well known that restaurant owners somehow have all the time in the world to battle their horrible customers, like this lying Karen who got decimated by an owner's response.

We'll never cease to be amazed by the audacity of these choosing beggars. They continue to spring forward with irrational and ridiculous demands. 

Nothing brings the blood to a boil like realizing you've been led around by a scammer who is just out to waste your time, and trying to steal your money. Well, Scammy Tammy wasn't anywhere close to tactical enough to pull off whatever kind of scam she was trying to run on this seller. You've really got to feel for the seller too. They were just trying to make some extra money during a historically difficult time.

Man, these incompetent scammers just keep on coming right out of the woodwork. In this case, it sounds like the scammer was in way over their head from the start. On top of that, they'd clearly overplayed their scam to such a point that it was just going to be too easy to rightfully shut them down. Hence, the payment request and what we'd imagine was a very surprised and displeased scammer. 

You did a beautiful thing, my dude. Keep up the good work. Nothing melts our hearts like seeing a scammer get their comeuppance. 

Just imagine that talk that the guy had with his parents after the fact. Whole lot of yikes going on there. If you enjoyed this tale of revenge, check out another sweet case of professional revenge with this shipping company that broke a $600 TV, denied it, and then ended up paying millions.

It's probably easier just to assume that literally any stranger trying to contact you for money is completely full of BS,  but this person went through the whole arduous process of trying to root out the truth, culminating in a link that made them realize the person was exactly as sketchy as they seemed. Sometimes people get more creative with scammers, like this person who trolled a scammer with made-up neighbor drama.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book.
