scammer

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.

When this guy received a suspect call from what turned out to be a scammer, he decided to waste the fool's time. The scammer had insisted that there was a warrant out for his arrest. So, he decided to play into their game, but with his own hilarious, made up credentials. 

This scammer decided they'd try and play "soldier" to get in the good graces of a person they matched with on Grindr. I'd be genuinely impressed if someone actually fell for this. 

If you're bored and have some time to kill, just hope you get lucky and have the opportunity to troll a scammer to perfection like this guy. The scammer is clearly beside himself, and gets played like a chump.

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. 

When this Nigerian scammer contacted this guy pretending to be his grandmother, he decided it was high time to troll the scammer and waste their time. You've got to love it. 

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 guy found himself in the prime position to have some fun with an obvious Facebook scammer after they reached out to him. It was very obvious from the first message that this was no ordinary conversation, and instead just the work of a scammer or maybe a bot. It's hard to say on this one. We would've loved to have seen a bit of an angrier reaction on the part of the scammer, but this is still pretty great. Especially the "sammichez" bit! 

Nothing warms our hearts like a scammer absolutely getting it. This hero used his photoshop skills to masterfully toy a scammer into sweet oblivion. A job well done indeed! 

This woman got back at a nasty old con man, who'd acquired his wealth through scamming others by outsmarting him. The nuclear revenge that ensues comes at quite the cost to the tricky bastard. To think that he was probably all kinds of jacked up, getting away with $25K when he ends up losing about half a million dollars. 

Every second this guy managed to keep the gift card scammer invested in his own little act of trolling, he spared another person from having to deal with a scammer. Top-notch work indeed.
