Always a good idea to make time to entertain scammers. The more time they spend talking to you, the less time they spend trying to scam actual vulnerable people
I love those emails from 'pAYpAl' - "Deer costumer, we will now need you to confirm to us the number of your accounting for records or hence we shall have to close your account unless you confirm to us your password and accooont detailings" I always read the emails in George Agdgdgwngo's voice from Fonejacker 😂
I have done just that! It is amazing! I had a call about a debt collector that seemed odd, they threatened me about going to prison over an unpaid debt, which turned out to be 29 dollars(sprint bill from 2015). My mind went into overdrive and hung up after they told me the name of the agency they work for(bad move) - they are called ERC - I did say I was going to call back and asked for their supervisor so I can arrange a callback. The scammer got rude and started to curse at me over the phone. Me, being a former call center supervisor myself for lifeline cell phones (government phones for welfare people in America - mostly used really for illegal activities) and knew this was bogus. So I proceeded to call back the listed number(toll free and based in florida), when the same person answered, I immediately asked for a supervisor and they hung up. So I continued. When I got a different person, I asked for the original person who called and if they didn't answer or transfer me to a supervisor, I would report them to the EEOC and BBB for fraud. They proceeded to berate me with insults and loads of profanity then hung up on me. Game's on! Of course, I repeated this 15 times in 10 minutes, on time 16 - I was BLOCKED. By them! From a toll free number as well! I rode that high all day! Look them up here on UA-cam - the video titles usually involve "scam", "lawsuit against ERC", and to top things off - they didn't even acquire the debt!
I have to respect the guy texting "jeff". Entire storyline. Absolutely love it. Can't forget about susan next door who's husband is tired of her antics.
The ebay card thing happened to my coworker. Someone pretended to be our boss and asked her to go and buy Steam Cards for 500 Euros. She went to the store. Picked up the cards. And actually went to the office and handed them to the CEO: "Here are the cards you asked me to get for you.". We laughed so hard.
This happened at my old job (in NZ) a couple years ago. My manager was asked to get 3x iTunes Store cards from down the road (worth around $1,000 in total) and then got back to the office and went what the hell have I done 😂
The same thing happened to my brother! Someone texted him claiming to be his boss and asked for gift cards. My brother spent a whole week wasting this guy’s time. It was fantastic.
I'm not really the "play with the scammer" type, but my dad absolutely loves it. His best was when he pretended to be a 5 year old and kept the guy on call for a hour. It was hilarious
Sounds like something my own Dad would do, LOLOLOL I still remember when a telemarketer said something about phones and stuff and Dad was like "I would be happy with the free phone you're offering" and whatever else, I can't remember the exact wording, but my sisters, mum and I were keeling over with laughter in the background. Uh the memories.
Yes I once told a scammer after a few minutes of back and forth, I needed him to send $100,000 to bail my five sons out of jail for selling sinsemilla. And the other $50,000 was to get my daughter back from a voodoo priest she ran away with. I got blocked lol.
@@TweetieBird-hl9hg I gave him one excuse after another once he started asking for money. Ya know....my car broke down on the way to get "cards" and it took every dime I had to get towed..... Someone put a bomb in my mailbox (I blamed the scammer 😂) so now the FBI had me under investigation and that lead to my bank account being frozen and the bank only allowed me enough money to get a few groceries.....and the FBI moved in with me to keep a close eye on me and to hopefully catch the bomber 🙄😬 After I got my accounts unfrozen several weeks later....he immediately came up with the cock and bull story about him having a chest full of precious jewels he wanted to ship to me for $8k (lmao).... I told him my lawyer checked out his shipping company and told him my lawyer said it didn't exist which pissed off the scammer 😂😂😂😂😂 After 3 months I was totally bored 🥱 and faked my death ☠️😇 which caused him to call me relentlessly....so I finally picked up and told his scammy ass to go to helll and blocked him. The end 😌 I don't really recommend toying with them as they become relentless. I still get bait from him and his homies, but I just delete them without opening their emails. Remember...we were on lockdown and had too much time on my hands. It's pretty time consuming. I am an improver which was helpful in making things up (check out improv comedy...or the TV show, "Who's Line is it Anyways). That will give you an idea of how I came up with ideas to lead him/them on. ******for any scammer who just read my story....enjoy 😬🫡🤭
Ok Ok....buckle up.....here goes 😂😂😂 After the you know....his trying to groom me (snickering to his BS).....ya know....."my queen.....baby" 🤢🤮 I decided I needed to play MY cards.... So I messaged him in a very upsetting tone and angry language, I told him I had a bomb put in my mailbox and I was being investigated and that my bank accounts were seized. I had a bodyguard living with me and monitoring everything. I had no access to my accounts for a month and was given $50 a week for food 🤭 He continued to contact me and he kept counting the days til I would be free to have access to my accounts....but mishaps kept happening (feels good to give 'em a taste of "I don't have access to my money" BS). The month came and went and finally the "investigation" was ended and scam dude starts with this BS story about be rewarded by a little old lady he saved and she left him a treasure chest of gold 😳 and he would ship it to me 🤑😂😂😂😂 Well wouldn't ya know it, but on the way to get the money to pay for the shipment ($5K)....I got in a bad car accident and was killed (who knew I had such bad luck? 🤬🤪😅)......so now I'm dead 😵 (boo hoooo)......he kept trying to message me saying he doesn't believe me 🤥 I pretended at this point to be my employee who stumbled upon allll the few months worth of texts and how I was killed on the way to the bank to get money for a scam 😡 (this frosted my employee cuz now he's outta a job). The scammer now is feverishly trying to FaceTime me 😂😂😂 but my employee (really me) is typing nasty messages about how the scammer is responsible for my death 😫 Now approaching the 3rd month, I really started getting bored with this scammer 💩🤡🥱.....so I decided to come clean. I told him I was pregnant with his child (an immaculate conception....these things happen 🤷♀️🤰). Ok....I'm exaggerating here....no pregnancy. However, the being bored is true. So I pulled the trigger and told him I wasn't really dead....at least not as dead as the fake relationship ⚰️🪦 I told him he was a feckin scammer not worth any more of my time....THE END 😋 (I bet he cried like a little b*tch that he is for no money) 🤗
I mean I got a FB message from someone claiming to be my previously unknown sister, and it turned out to be true, soooo. xD (My dad didn't waste much time gettin' busy after my mom left him, apparently... she's only a year and a half younger than me!! We have the same handwriting, it's weird AF, lol)
@@ilikewater7748 lol, you never know then, eh?? But no, she knew lots of details about my dad, including his last name (spelled correctly!) And a bunch of extended family names. She provided enough info that I believed her, and she never asked for money or anything! We ended up meeting in person when I was working for a convention that ended up stopping near where she lived. I got her Platinum level tickets for a day and we got to meet! We look really similar too! It was so cool. I only had brothers til then!
@@Palitato hahahaha that's so interesting it would be crazy if I actually found my long lost sister lmaoo but she has Norwegian last name and I'm Canadian
"I know we went to the mall and I tried to ditch you, but I didn't think you'd message me so soon. And I'm still pissed at you for breaking all my crayons! :p"
Fun fact: Piggly Wiggly is not just a supermarket it’s actually THE supermarket, they were the first self-service grocery store and therefore invented what we now know as a supermarket
The last guy was Yoruba 😂😂😂, from Nigeria..... People like that paint us so bad, we're not like that guys, not all Nigerians are scammers, only a few actually do this, we're legitimate hardworking people. Trust me
Sad someone would judge a whole population just bc of some bad seeds. Bad people exist everywhere and are typically few and far between the good people! Peace and love to you. ❤️
ok so I have a kinda horrid scammer story but here goes... My grandmother in her old age got a little crazy(senile) and was scammed many times by FaceBook accounts of men claiming they would take her away to live happily ever after in her old age, but they needed her to send them money for tickets to get into the states so they can access their bank accounts. My grandmother died in a single car accident determined that she was going to send this last guy money and go pick him up at DFW airport and run away together. He called her phone later that day and i answered when i told him that she was dead he called me a liar and demanded I send him a picture of the body. Talk about making a horrible day even worse.
Geez. There's really no way to say how sorry I am to hear this, or to know that these people's horrible activities can trigger such profound tragedies.
If she was senile why TF were you guy's letting her drive and manage her own finances?? Especially when you knew she fell for it multiple times before. Tbh that's on you guy's. Wtf.
@@pepps1943 Please do not talk about things you obviously have no experience of. You evidently do not know how long and complicated the process is to get services for a senile, demented or Alzheimer's patient in the real world. My sister and I had to wait for years before our mother was secured with adequate services for her condition, because yes, we were both working women at the time, needed our jobs to make a living, and could not take care of her during the day. So, @ashlee terrell, I am sorry for your and your grandma's ordeal.
Reaching way back in the videos for ones I missed and old favorites while you're on break! Binging because you and your team deserve it. We love you and are sending well wishes to all of you🌻
I get scammers on dating sites. They all speak broken English, all are American soldiers on secret missions, either divorced or widowed, and after a few days, they ask for £500. Because they prey on what they think are vulnerable single ladies, I like to play along. When it gets to the part where they give me their bank details, I tell them I'll make the deposit in a few days. Little do they know, I've actually set up direct debits to go from those accounts to various charities. Let's face it, they should give back in some way.
Setting up the direct debits to charity is absolutely genius!! 👍🤩 You're a modern-day Robin Hood and I love it! Good on you for turning a negative into a positive - stay awesome 💖😎
We actually found our house because of a scam. Looking for an apartment and found a house for rent but didn't say the town, so I did a reverse search. Up came a real estate listing. Sent the rental info to them, then saw we could afford to buy the house...so, thanks, scammer and enjoy jail!😁
My emails are full of scammers.. "Hello Dear, I'm the Official of Sanwatuka and seeking for person to give my $365 million fortune on this day today dear" OMG these are hilarious!!
I've made scammers ragequit just by proofreading and correcting their numerous typos. Scumbag: "Hello, we am Prince Obogo N'tasi, very happy day you." Me: "CORRECTION: 'Hello, I am Prince Obogo N'tasi, and I bid you good day.'" Scumbag: "Yes, I calling this day with give amazing chance." Me: "CORRECTION: 'Yes. Anyway, I am calling today to offer you an amazing opportunity." Scumbag: "Why do talk me this?" Me: "CORRECTION: 'Why are you talking to me like this?'" Scumbag: "You am small mind and waste day! Want good giving or no?" Me: "CORRECTION: 'You are small-minded and you're wasting my time! Do you want my offer or not?'" Scumbag: "Mo tutọ si awọn baba rẹ!" Me: "CORRECTION: 'Okay, I yield. Goodbye!'"
I love messing with the scammers. They're always guy's and I pretend I know them after they tell me they're fake name. Then I'll say something like remember that one night stand we had? Well I'm pregnant. I need money for our baby. 😂 Most just hang up immediately. But one guy was arguing with me saying he didn't know me.
A guy I know got a message from an “acquaintance” of his, who just so happened to be a lutheran priest (someone tried to impersonate the pastor). The scammer then went on and on with questions about whether the guy was a “good catholic daughter” who confessed and prayed regularly. He just kept pulling the scammers leg, telling him that he was in fact a good, catholic daughter and that he would pay the stated sum of money for atonement. It all got published on facebook afterwards, and the actual pastor got help with legalities surrounding the scammer
Yes, yes, YES!! Please keep posting these scammer interactions. Part 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. I especially liked the long conversation about the party-- pure gold!
I got called by a scammer the other day: Him: I work for Microsoft, there's a problem with your computer!!! Me: What computer do I have? Him: *hangs up* 🤣
When scammers phone me about the “Accident” their records show I was involved in, I do like to spin them on a tad. Firstly by remarking “Well you’re quick it only happened yesterday!”. They usually make some self gratifying remark about how efficient they are, and that I could qualify for a massive amount of compensation. I then regale them with my story of woe about the “Accident” it usually takes the following form: “I was just minding own business taking a jant down the Stennack, cos I had an appointment to see the doctor you see. As I’ve not been very well” all this in my broadest Cornish Accent, just to make it a touch more difficult for them to understand, including Cornish words like Jant (walk) bhrer (hard to translate into English proper but used to emphasis something being bigger or harder etc) at this point they are very attentive indeed. Thinking they’ve got a live one! Oh how wrong they are. 😂 The fable continues with plenty of flowery background, like “Well I was just about to pass County Carpets, do you know where that is my robin?” Pause.....”Well ‘tis opposite where Peter built they new houses, lovely job he made of un. Well Jeremy you see he came out of County Carpets, and we was talking fur a few minutes about the bhrer nice bitta weather weem been having. How’s the weather up with you my handsome?” They will quickly say something about the weather and about the “accident” so I carry on my inane ramblings “well I wuz damn near kilt I tell you! I stepped out to cross the road and a bloody geet double decker bus wuz there! Scared the life out of me! I tripped over the curb, I tell ee what I thought I wuz a goner!” They will ask what injuries I suffered at this point “none!” I reply “I tripped but didn’t fall over the Accident happened down the Stennack a bit more, well I was shaken. That’s probably what caused the accident in the end you see” I will ask them some stupid questions like if they know my Doctor, they another ramble “he’s a very nice man, his father was at Dunkirk you know, used to sell Ice Cream in the 70’s” by now you can hear the frustration in their voice, so time to reveal the accident “then it happened didn’t it, I thought it was a fart, and I shit myself, I was in a bhrer old mess” they cannot hang up quick enough. Funnily enough I don’t get many calls for Ambulance chasing insurance scrotes much now. Hope you enjoyed, and every word is true, they fall for it every time. 😂
I like the idea of scammers calling about an accident you were a part of and just saying “it wasn’t an accident” before recounting your most recent double murder.
Dear Charlotte, Love your scammer series. Also am so taken by all the sadness and compassion ( LOL) you have for these scammers ( HA HA HA HA HA) You are hilarious to the Nth degree. thanks for brightening my days.
I was scammed 3 times. My brother who is an ex cop taught me after that how to recognise a scammer. Now I know exactly when someone are scamming me. I have learned to not click on unknown links too.
@@NachikethAttigadde1999AAHA easy. Catphishishing. They pretend to someone they are not and play on your emotions. Telling you sad stories. Then you feel sorry for them and send them money for "the funeral" for the person have apparently "died". Sometimes they declare their undying love to you and asking for money to go and visit you.
@@scmom8195 I was that stupid to fall for that 3 times. In my language we have a saying that goes "Do not be like a donkey bumping its head against the same stone, stupid!". Well, I did that 3 times. Now I'm careful.
@@scmom8195 some of them are super convincing, they put so much time and effort into it, really get to know you, they call, they video call sometimes etc, so they can make anyone who they get to at the wrong moment believe they're real. I know so many people who have talked to someone like that for a long time, most of them luckily start thinking something is off when the person asks for money... But you definitely don't have to be stupid to fall for it 🤷♀️
@@Vayeya1 it is a really bad insult but the soft version of it would be 'God will punish your father and Ogun (a deity) will kill them" I think. more or less
Ms Charlotte, there is in deed a store called Piggly Wiggly, and here is an even better, where I live there is a Piggly Wiggly located on Bigley, bigley avenue but still it’s Piggly Wiggly on Bigley 😁
So amazing!!!! I just introduced my mom to you after a few days with this one. She was just laughing uncontrollably with the picnic one!!!!! She's 64 and she kept fart laughing! I love my mom.
I used to get calls trying to sell me insulation for my roof. I would let them run through their whole spiel, sounding very interested the whole way through. Then when they asked for payment, I would break the news that I lived in a ground floor (US 1st floor) flat & the only thing above my ceiling was the upstairs flat. I stopped getting calls about insulation.
It took me a few moments before I twigged to what you were saying, and then suddenly, my Vitamin Water squirted out my nose and into my iPad. It seems like such an innocuous (albeit nonsensical) post, too, but then it sinks in. Excellent!
Love that while watching a scammer video, I get an ad for those games that "pay" you if you play it. Lmao getting scammed while watching about scammers. Lmao
I had a little fun with "Service Canada" a few months ago. I posted it on Facebook. Anyway same old message, This is Service Canada, SC, can you verify your name with me? ME, Don't you know my name SC, Yes, I need to verify it (Thinking, o.k I'll play) ME, My name is Barbara Welds (not my name) SC, And now your postal code I Give her a fake one CA, O.k Ms. Welds, I have verified we have the right (fake) person, are you aware you have multiple felonies? There is a warrent for your arrest. ME, Omg, no! Why? What do I do? SC, I can help you, get a pen and paper ME, I have them SC, She said, do you really have them? (I guess she didn't believe my instant anwser of yes) ME, Yes, I said I did. SC, Write this down SC,Write my name, Hannah ME, Oh wait I have to get a pen and paper SC, You told me you did that ME, Yes I do have them ready to go, what am I writing? SC, Write my name down, now (yeah because Service Canada would talk to me like that) ME, O.k I will, I'm just so nervous, are the police coming today? SC, Yes they are SC, Did you write my name down ME, I told you I need to go find a pen and paper SC, in an extremly annoyed voice she said you said you had them ME, I do have pens and paper in my house SC, Groans ME O.k I have them now SC, in your hand? ME, yes SC ,Write my name down ME, What is your name? SC, Hannah ME, Did you know your name is a palindrome? SC What? What is that? ME, Your name is Hannah and you dont know what a palindrome is. Tsk tsk tsk CLICK lol 😂 Oh the things I do to entertain myself while in quarantine and now on bed rest.
It is not about having time for that when answering to a scammer, the intend is to make them loose time, the more they loose, the less they have to get another victim 😎
Omg that last one had me laughing so hard! I got scammed pretty bad one time and was actually pretty traumatized by it, thanks for helping me to laugh about it. I'll know what to do next time they try it now! And pleeease do a whole series on this! 😘
In1995, I had fallen into such a horrible financial crater! The day a bill collector called, I responded with, "thank God, you're saving me a call to Suicide Hotline!". I proceeded ticking off my messes A thru L. Maybe 90 seconds in, the phone softly clicked and dial tone started. I am one of the few people in the world that a collection agency hung up on me cause I was so pitiful!!
Oh Charlotte ! I'm so sorry you had to be scammed but so glad it makes you publish these unintelligent scammer's ridicule ! And I will be grateful for my trust issues with strangers, from now on ! The CEO bit made me think that this particular scammer comes from where titles are considered essential and not from our parts. Or that he is really not knowledgeable about texting (no "signature" necessary after text and the repetitive use of some words or expressions). Or that he has a template of possible responses to what the potential "scammed" person says, and must not deviate from it. Really funny !!!
I got scammed by a “company” that offered me a job as an assistant. They took me for $2000. I really needed a job so I was a bit desperate and it was quite embarrassing because I always felt like I was smarter than that. Live and learn 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry to hear about that. I think we all get scammed at least once or twice. I got scammed by a stock broker long ago. The important part is to learn from it. I eventually just chalked it up as "education cost".
Don't feel too bad about it. When it's about jobs, we get scammed all the time, sadly. Because we trade our time for money. and the money will never replace lost time. ;) One giveaway for a scam job is when the person doing the interview talks, talks and talks and you understand nothing in the end, and you don't get to ask questions nor anything.
Just like MLM and pyramid schemes, any "business" that requires you to outlay your own money to "be employed" is a scam. Very simple principle really. But Charlotte is exactly correct; they prey on people at their most vulnerable and desperate.
That feeling you get when you realize that you have watched ALL of Charlottes videos......😫😫😫😫NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHYYYYY! WHYYYYYYY!!!! 😣😣😱😱😱😱 Ps. Happy Belated Birthday Charolette! 💖
Charlotte, you should react to James Vietch and his scammer reply emails that he sends. He puts a LOT of effort in his presentations, and they’re hilarious! 😂
My boss got the "CEO" scam over email from his boss. He legit almost bought the cards, until he checked where he should delivered them too then realised it was a scam.
Omggggggg lol the ads in this video are for marketing mlm 🤣 Charlotte thank you for keeping me entertained during my workday! 😘 and yes I always make time to mess with them. I waste their time so some old lady hopefully misses their phone call.
One of my favourite things in life is playing stupid with scammers and then hitting them with the line 'here's the thing sunshine...' it drives them mental. It's like patronising them is kryptonite and I love it
That was surprisingly entertaining! You might also enjoy reacting to the youtube videos of hackers who hack into and crash the systems of foreign call center scammers. Very cathartic!!! :D
It was also my birthday 🎉😁 But I had to spend it alone and away from my family because I was in contact with someone who had coronavirus. It was a cakeless birthday. 😭😭
Well done for speaking up about being scammed. I work in England and part of my job is to help the victims of scams. Never give out your bank or other payment details to anyone.
My coworker was telling me two weeks ago about how she was almost scammed. I was cringing as she was telling the story. The ONLY reason she didn't send the money is that the store was closed by the time she got there. She found it was a scam when she spoke with her daughter later the same night.
Sometimes I wish that I had the patience to do this when I get messages like this. One day I will, though, just have a go at seeing how long I can really mess with a scammer,
Oh Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte. Dear you a smart young lady , you give me hope for our society. Don’t fall for scammers, you know better. If you want to help someone donate to a shelter or go to a church or a community center . They have list of people and/ or families that need help and they have already been vetted, so you can truly know we were not scammed and did a good thing
My grandma once got a call from someone claiming to her grandson saying that he got stranded overseas on a trip and needed money to get back home. She saw right through it because she knew none of us were on vacation, and hung up on the guy.
The ones we usually get over here is when they phone you and say: "Hello, Mr _____, I'm calling about the recent road traffic accident you were in..." it's like some sort of accident/injury compensation scam... usually I say something like: "Do you mean that really bad one on the A92 a few weeks ago, the one that nobody survived?" and then "'CLICK...."
These sound like our normal UK scam calls, I either keep them on the line for as long as possible or use the "This is my private number, that I don't give out anywhere, how did you get it?" they sometimes try to give excuses but more hang up. lol.
Aaaah hah haa that was freaking hilarious 😂😂 Yes part 2 please. I have a friend(?not sure at this point) but she has been catfished for part 2 years. I have proved all the little info about this scammer is wrong...it's all lies but she won't believe me and has already given him 2000.00 euros. Could you do a catfish one ? Perhaps my last effort to get her to believe he is not real & only wants her money. Thanks 👍👍
I once got an email from the CEO on my work email and thought it was legit for a hot minute and I'm pretty good at recognizing scams. I was pretty new with the company I work for, so I really thought it was them... until they asked for some type of visa cards 🤣🤣. I definitely fucked with them for a few minutes.
"I hope you're not a scammer. The last person who tried to scam me, I tracked down and scammed their forehead with a cinder block. Are you still there? Grandma?" Might not want to use that one. It sounds illegal. I'll try it and let yall know.
I toyed with a scammer for about three months. I knew from the get-go that she wanted iTunes cards. She figured since I was single, I must be desperate. "She" really pushed the long-distance relationship thing. But, I have a rule about dating people sight-unseen. For all I knew, "she" could be a "he" living in his/her mom's basement and covered with hairy moles. The moment I told her that I was on a budget and didn't have the money to help her "fix her phone," she stopped messaging me. It's sad how many people will actually fall for this kind of stunt. Still, it was nice having someone to talk to for those three months...
Hello my loves! Sorry for not posting yesterday, it was actually my birthday on September 7th so I took the day off! :D
Happy birthday to you!! Hope your birthday week is great!
Happy birthday 🎂!!!
Never apologize for taking a day for you!
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday Charlotte!!!
Happy birthday!!!
Always a good idea to make time to entertain scammers. The more time they spend talking to you, the less time they spend trying to scam actual vulnerable people
well played.. I never thought of it like that before... 🧐
We are doing Gods' work of ridding these human trashes.
And I have all the time in the world. So why not while I'm playing a game around them? XD

Some people are simply beautifully witty amazing
I have done just that! It is amazing! I had a call about a debt collector that seemed odd, they threatened me about going to prison over an unpaid debt, which turned out to be 29 dollars(sprint bill from 2015). My mind went into overdrive and hung up after they told me the name of the agency they work for(bad move) - they are called ERC - I did say I was going to call back and asked for their supervisor so I can arrange a callback. The scammer got rude and started to curse at me over the phone. Me, being a former call center supervisor myself for lifeline cell phones (government phones for welfare people in America - mostly used really for illegal activities) and knew this was bogus. So I proceeded to call back the listed number(toll free and based in florida), when the same person answered, I immediately asked for a supervisor and they hung up. So I continued. When I got a different person, I asked for the original person who called and if they didn't answer or transfer me to a supervisor, I would report them to the EEOC and BBB for fraud. They proceeded to berate me with insults and loads of profanity then hung up on me. Game's on! Of course, I repeated this 15 times in 10 minutes, on time 16 - I was BLOCKED. By them! From a toll free number as well!
I rode that high all day!
Look them up here on UA-cam - the video titles usually involve "scam", "lawsuit against ERC", and to top things off - they didn't even acquire the debt!
I have to respect the guy texting "jeff". Entire storyline. Absolutely love it. Can't forget about susan next door who's husband is tired of her antics.
I was on the edge of my seat with all the tea they were spilling.
I honestly don't know how the scammer didn't ask more questions and get involved 🤣
@@samalvarez8776 I KNOW
It was priceless and now that I know everyone, I want to move to their neighborhood!
The ebay card thing happened to my coworker. Someone pretended to be our boss and asked her to go and buy Steam Cards for 500 Euros. She went to the store. Picked up the cards. And actually went to the office and handed them to the CEO: "Here are the cards you asked me to get for you.". We laughed so hard.
This happened at my old job (in NZ) a couple years ago. My manager was asked to get 3x iTunes Store cards from down the road (worth around $1,000 in total) and then got back to the office and went what the hell have I done 😂
The same thing happened to my brother! Someone texted him claiming to be his boss and asked for gift cards. My brother spent a whole week wasting this guy’s time. It was fantastic.
Well how thoroughly nasty of you. Hope you refunded her?
@@katehobbs2008 Of course we did? What made you think we didn't. And she laughed too.
@@orchiidee Sometimes a really good job can be ruined by just one shitty coworker.
That first one killed me! That scammer was slayed with Southern talk😂😂and yes, we do have Piggly Wiggly grocery stores!
Same!!! Soon as I heard Duke’s and they were mad someone was trying to bring the same dish. Southern women don’t play that. Stay in your lane
I'm not really the "play with the scammer" type, but my dad absolutely loves it. His best was when he pretended to be a 5 year old and kept the guy on call for a hour. It was hilarious
Sounds like something my own Dad would do, LOLOLOL
I still remember when a telemarketer said something about phones and stuff and Dad was like "I would be happy with the free phone you're offering" and whatever else, I can't remember the exact wording, but my sisters, mum and I were keeling over with laughter in the background. Uh the memories.
@Scorched Earth can I have a link??? :0
My mom used to love messing with them
Hahaha 😁😁😁
Your dad sounds like a great guy!🤘😅👏
Wow, your dad is a savage! Love it!
Yes I once told a scammer after a few minutes of back and forth, I needed him to send $100,000 to bail my five sons out of jail for selling sinsemilla. And the other $50,000 was to get my daughter back from a voodoo priest she ran away with. I got blocked lol.
Great reply!
LMFAO!!! Well done you!!! LOL
😭😭😭
I can't stop laughing! XD Well done!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't stop them from scamming other people, might as well just delay them from getting to the next one all you can. Props to all those people.
Lockdown gave me plenty of time to mess with a scammer. Spent 3 months leading him on!
Great way to pass the time in 2020 🤪😂😂😂😂😂
You scammed the scammer😅🤣
Can we get the story, if you're willing to share? 👀
@@TweetieBird-hl9hg I gave him one excuse after another once he started asking for money. Ya know....my car broke down on the way to get "cards" and it took every dime I had to get towed.....
Someone put a bomb in my mailbox (I blamed the scammer 😂) so now the FBI had me under investigation and that lead to my bank account being frozen and the bank only allowed me enough money to get a few groceries.....and the FBI moved in with me to keep a close eye on me and to hopefully catch the bomber 🙄😬
After I got my accounts unfrozen several weeks later....he immediately came up with the cock and bull story about him having a chest full of precious jewels he wanted to ship to me for $8k (lmao).... I told him my lawyer checked out his shipping company and told him my lawyer said it didn't exist which pissed off the scammer 😂😂😂😂😂
After 3 months I was totally bored 🥱 and faked my death ☠️😇 which caused him to call me relentlessly....so I finally picked up and told his scammy ass to go to helll and blocked him. The end 😌
I don't really recommend toying with them as they become relentless. I still get bait from him and his homies, but I just delete them without opening their emails.
Remember...we were on lockdown and had too much time on my hands.
It's pretty time consuming. I am an improver which was helpful in making things up (check out improv comedy...or the TV show, "Who's Line is it Anyways). That will give you an idea of how I came up with ideas to lead him/them on.
******for any scammer who just read my story....enjoy 😬🫡🤭
Two years later, & we still want the story 🤣
Ok Ok....buckle up.....here goes 😂😂😂
After the you know....his trying to groom me (snickering to his BS).....ya know....."my queen.....baby" 🤢🤮
I decided I needed to play MY cards....
So I messaged him in a very upsetting tone and angry language, I told him I had a bomb put in my mailbox and I was being investigated and that my bank accounts were seized. I had a bodyguard living with me and monitoring everything.
I had no access to my accounts for a month and was given $50 a week for food 🤭
He continued to contact me and he kept counting the days til I would be free to have access to my accounts....but mishaps kept happening (feels good to give 'em a taste of "I don't have access to my money" BS).
The month came and went and finally the "investigation" was ended and scam dude starts with this BS story about be rewarded by a little old lady he saved and she left him a treasure chest of gold 😳 and he would ship it to me 🤑😂😂😂😂
Well wouldn't ya know it, but on the way to get the money to pay for the shipment ($5K)....I got in a bad car accident and was killed (who knew I had such bad luck? 🤬🤪😅)......so now I'm dead 😵 (boo hoooo)......he kept trying to message me saying he doesn't believe me 🤥
I pretended at this point to be my employee who stumbled upon allll the few months worth of texts and how I was killed on the way to the bank to get money for a scam 😡 (this frosted my employee cuz now he's outta a job). The scammer now is feverishly trying to FaceTime me 😂😂😂 but my employee (really me) is typing nasty messages about how the scammer is responsible for my death 😫
Now approaching the 3rd month, I really started getting bored with this scammer 💩🤡🥱.....so I decided to come clean.
I told him I was pregnant with his child (an immaculate conception....these things happen 🤷♀️🤰). Ok....I'm exaggerating here....no pregnancy.
However, the being bored is true.
So I pulled the trigger and told him I wasn't really dead....at least not as dead as the fake relationship ⚰️🪦
I told him he was a feckin scammer not worth any more of my time....THE END 😋
(I bet he cried like a little b*tch that he is for no money) 🤗
The number they gave "grandma" was to the FBI 😂
Really? that is hilarious!
The picnic potato salad one had me crying 😂
*F-ck* yeah
My own barbecue experience is full of potato salad!
Same! 🤣🤣🤣
Charlotte you've inspired me, I have been harassed by scammers every day and instead of getting irritated, I'm going to fight back. You rock.
Someone emailed me saying "this is your lost sister from Norway" lmaoo
I mean I got a FB message from someone claiming to be my previously unknown sister, and it turned out to be true, soooo. xD (My dad didn't waste much time gettin' busy after my mom left him, apparently... she's only a year and a half younger than me!! We have the same handwriting, it's weird AF, lol)
@@Palitato my parents are divorced so.....
@@ilikewater7748 lol, you never know then, eh?? But no, she knew lots of details about my dad, including his last name (spelled correctly!) And a bunch of extended family names. She provided enough info that I believed her, and she never asked for money or anything! We ended up meeting in person when I was working for a convention that ended up stopping near where she lived. I got her Platinum level tickets for a day and we got to meet! We look really similar too! It was so cool. I only had brothers til then!
@@Palitato hahahaha that's so interesting it would be crazy if I actually found my long lost sister lmaoo but she has Norwegian last name and I'm Canadian
"I know we went to the mall and I tried to ditch you, but I didn't think you'd message me so soon. And I'm still pissed at you for breaking all my crayons! :p"
Fun fact: Piggly Wiggly is not just a supermarket it’s actually THE supermarket, they were the first self-service grocery store and therefore invented what we now know as a supermarket
I came to the comments for this right here!! LOL
Loves me some Piggly Wiggly!
Well damn. The more you know.
HEB kicks piggly wiggly's ass
"I'm Sticking with the Pig" I have lived in Charleston, SC all my life and "The Pig" is the best. The deli is beyond great southern food.
I love it! I love people messing with scammers. It’s especially hilarious when they start getting triggered. Great content.
The last guy was Yoruba 😂😂😂, from Nigeria..... People like that paint us so bad, we're not like that guys, not all Nigerians are scammers, only a few actually do this, we're legitimate hardworking people. Trust me
Sad someone would judge a whole population just bc of some bad seeds. Bad people exist everywhere and are typically few and far between the good people! Peace and love to you. ❤️
So can you buy me $900 iTunes card ?
Am I being scammed right now?
My Psychiatrist, Dr. Oladele Adebogun, is a great guy, and we have several members from Nigeria and Algeria in my church.
I was with you until you said, “trust me” lol
Part 2 please. I love seeing scammers get owned.
ok so I have a kinda horrid scammer story but here goes... My grandmother in her old age got a little crazy(senile) and was scammed many times by FaceBook accounts of men claiming they would take her away to live happily ever after in her old age, but they needed her to send them money for tickets to get into the states so they can access their bank accounts. My grandmother died in a single car accident determined that she was going to send this last guy money and go pick him up at DFW airport and run away together. He called her phone later that day and i answered when i told him that she was dead he called me a liar and demanded I send him a picture of the body. Talk about making a horrible day even worse.
Geez. There's really no way to say how sorry I am to hear this, or to know that these people's horrible activities can trigger such profound tragedies.
That is awful.
That’s terrible! 😱
If she was senile why TF were you guy's letting her drive and manage her own finances?? Especially when you knew she fell for it multiple times before. Tbh that's on you guy's. Wtf.
@@pepps1943 Please do not talk about things you obviously have no experience of. You evidently do not know how long and complicated the process is to get services for a senile, demented or Alzheimer's patient in the real world. My sister and I had to wait for years before our mother was secured with adequate services for her condition, because yes, we were both working women at the time, needed our jobs to make a living, and could not take care of her during the day. So, @ashlee terrell, I am sorry for your and your grandma's ordeal.
Reaching way back in the videos for ones I missed and old favorites while you're on break! Binging because you and your team deserve it. We love you and are sending well wishes to all of you🌻
Can confirm, the Piggly Wiggly is a real supermarket.
Yes, yes it is. :)
Yes it is
So is BI-LO
Lol they've only been around for like 40 years..
We have "Food Lion" supermarkets, too.
I get scammers on dating sites. They all speak broken English, all are American soldiers on secret missions, either divorced or widowed, and after a few days, they ask for £500.
Because they prey on what they think are vulnerable single ladies, I like to play along.
When it gets to the part where they give me their bank details, I tell them I'll make the deposit in a few days.
Little do they know, I've actually set up direct debits to go from those accounts to various charities.
Let's face it, they should give back in some way.
I had the soldier on a secret mission and he needed itune cards because he lost his account info.
@@carrie5191 had 1 of those aswell 😂
Gosh, they don't wait a full 2 hours to ask for money from me. At least they, oh nevermind, all scum!!
But... but.... how do you do it ?
Setting up the direct debits to charity is absolutely genius!! 👍🤩 You're a modern-day Robin Hood and I love it! Good on you for turning a negative into a positive - stay awesome 💖😎
That "fire in the microwave trying to make popcorn" remark is a straight reference from The Office. LOL
“FIRE GUY” It was a cheesy pita in the toaster oven 😂😂
Ryan started the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning.
My manager burned popcorn in the office twice. Now she's not allowed to cook popcorn in the office anymore.
and real life accident I witnessed in my old office
We actually found our house because of a scam. Looking for an apartment and found a house for rent but didn't say the town, so I did a reverse search. Up came a real estate listing. Sent the rental info to them, then saw we could afford to buy the house...so, thanks, scammer and enjoy jail!😁
How do you do a reverse search ? I would really like to try it !
This made me laugh SOOO hard! Whoever those people are! The ones out there giving scammers what they deserve, thank you! I really needed that laugh XD
Yes, Please do a part 2. I love hearing and seeing scammers getting owned.
My emails are full of scammers.. "Hello Dear, I'm the Official of Sanwatuka and seeking for person to give my $365 million fortune on this day today dear" OMG these are hilarious!!
Those "dears" lol. They love saying dear 😂
@@C_._J Right! Dead give away after the bad English 🤦♀️
I've made scammers ragequit just by proofreading and correcting their numerous typos. Scumbag: "Hello, we am Prince Obogo N'tasi, very happy day you." Me: "CORRECTION: 'Hello, I am Prince Obogo N'tasi, and I bid you good day.'" Scumbag: "Yes, I calling this day with give amazing chance." Me: "CORRECTION: 'Yes. Anyway, I am calling today to offer you an amazing opportunity." Scumbag: "Why do talk me this?" Me: "CORRECTION: 'Why are you talking to me like this?'" Scumbag: "You am small mind and waste day! Want good giving or no?" Me: "CORRECTION: 'You are small-minded and you're wasting my time! Do you want my offer or not?'" Scumbag: "Mo tutọ si awọn baba rẹ!" Me: "CORRECTION: 'Okay, I yield. Goodbye!'"
I love messing with the scammers. They're always guy's and I pretend I know them after they tell me they're fake name. Then I'll say something like remember that one night stand we had? Well I'm pregnant. I need money for our baby. 😂 Most just hang up immediately. But one guy was arguing with me saying he didn't know me.
This is brilliant!! 👍🏻😊
Those Italians guys don't take no for an answer.
A guy I know got a message from an “acquaintance” of his, who just so happened to be a lutheran priest (someone tried to impersonate the pastor). The scammer then went on and on with questions about whether the guy was a “good catholic daughter” who confessed and prayed regularly. He just kept pulling the scammers leg, telling him that he was in fact a good, catholic daughter and that he would pay the stated sum of money for atonement. It all got published on facebook afterwards, and the actual pastor got help with legalities surrounding the scammer
I add phone numbers to my contact list with notes of where I found the number, then Snapchat does it's thing and suggests users based on the numbers.
😆👌
Yes, yes, YES!! Please keep posting these scammer interactions. Part 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. I especially liked the long conversation about the party-- pure gold!
I got called by a scammer the other day:
Him: I work for Microsoft, there's a problem with your computer!!!
Me: What computer do I have?
Him: *hangs up*
🤣
My dad says, “What’s a computer?”
"Who is still here?" As if she doesn't know she could read the phone book for 30 minutes and we would all still be riveted...
When scammers phone me about the “Accident” their records show I was involved in, I do like to spin them on a tad. Firstly by remarking “Well you’re quick it only happened yesterday!”. They usually make some self gratifying remark about how efficient they are, and that I could qualify for a massive amount of compensation.
I then regale them with my story of woe about the “Accident” it usually takes the following form:
“I was just minding own business taking a jant down the Stennack, cos I had an appointment to see the doctor you see. As I’ve not been very well” all this in my broadest Cornish Accent, just to make it a touch more difficult for them to understand, including Cornish words like Jant (walk) bhrer (hard to translate into English proper but used to emphasis something being bigger or harder etc) at this point they are very attentive indeed. Thinking they’ve got a live one! Oh how wrong they are. 😂
The fable continues with plenty of flowery background, like “Well I was just about to pass County Carpets, do you know where that is my robin?” Pause.....”Well ‘tis opposite where Peter built they new houses, lovely job he made of un. Well Jeremy you see he came out of County Carpets, and we was talking fur a few minutes about the bhrer nice bitta weather weem been having. How’s the weather up with you my handsome?” They will quickly say something about the weather and about the “accident” so I carry on my inane ramblings “well I wuz damn near kilt I tell you! I stepped out to cross the road and a bloody geet double decker bus wuz there! Scared the life out of me! I tripped over the curb, I tell ee what I thought I wuz a goner!” They will ask what injuries I suffered at this point “none!” I reply “I tripped but didn’t fall over the Accident happened down the Stennack a bit more, well I was shaken. That’s probably what caused the accident in the end you see” I will ask them some stupid questions like if they know my Doctor, they another ramble “he’s a very nice man, his father was at Dunkirk you know, used to sell Ice Cream in the 70’s” by now you can hear the frustration in their voice, so time to reveal the accident “then it happened didn’t it, I thought it was a fart, and I shit myself, I was in a bhrer old mess” they cannot hang up quick enough. Funnily enough I don’t get many calls for Ambulance chasing insurance scrotes much now.
Hope you enjoyed, and every word is true, they fall for it every time. 😂
I absolutely loved this and read it all in a cornish accent in my head 😂 I'm definitely going to try this myself!
You can totally use that in a stand up comic routine! Hilarious!
OUTSTANDING! KUDOS and MUCH APPLAUSE!
What an ending!!
I like the idea of scammers calling about an accident you were a part of and just saying “it wasn’t an accident” before recounting your most recent double murder.
Ha!!! Can’t believe you’ve just done this video. I’m currently trolling a scammer as we speak 😂 x
Share it please! I wanna see😂🤣
Deinma Kalio I’ll try put a video together ;-)
Oh pleeeeesae share!! I can not wait.
All Ways Play They're Game
Send it to Char and she'll read it out in her next video! XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, when she said, “are you my mom?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, that took me out!!!
Dear Charlotte, Love your scammer series. Also am so taken by all the sadness and compassion ( LOL) you have for these scammers ( HA HA HA HA HA) You are hilarious to the Nth degree. thanks for brightening my days.
I was scammed 3 times. My brother who is an ex cop taught me after that how to recognise a scammer. Now I know exactly when someone are scamming me. I have learned to not click on unknown links too.
How does anyone get scammed?
@@NachikethAttigadde1999AAHA easy. Catphishishing. They pretend to someone they are not and play on your emotions. Telling you sad stories. Then you feel sorry for them and send them money for "the funeral" for the person have apparently "died". Sometimes they declare their undying love to you and asking for money to go and visit you.
@@scmom8195 I was that stupid to fall for that 3 times. In my language we have a saying that goes "Do not be like a donkey bumping its head against the same stone, stupid!". Well, I did that 3 times. Now I'm careful.
@@scmom8195 some of them are super convincing, they put so much time and effort into it, really get to know you, they call, they video call sometimes etc, so they can make anyone who they get to at the wrong moment believe they're real. I know so many people who have talked to someone like that for a long time, most of them luckily start thinking something is off when the person asks for money... But you definitely don't have to be stupid to fall for it 🤷♀️
@@Liz-rf4qu there's a sucker born every minute lol

@@AinaSanmi me too lol..and the Yoruba inside insulting her father was like ....why??
@@AinaSanmi same😂😭
Can you translate?
@@Vayeya1 it is a really bad insult but the soft version of it would be 'God will punish your father and Ogun (a deity) will kill them" I think. more or less
"That'd be a violation of my parole."
Well *that* took a turn omw-
I google translated “ogun mapa ebi ni” it means “it’s a family map war” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got a different translation (from Yoruba to Finnish): "War is hunger"
Ms Charlotte, there is in deed a store called Piggly Wiggly, and here is an even better, where I live there is a Piggly Wiggly located on Bigley, bigley avenue but still it’s Piggly Wiggly on Bigley 😁
If that was on purpose, it's hilarious, and if it was a coincidence, it's still hilarious!

So amazing!!!! I just introduced my mom to you after a few days with this one. She was just laughing uncontrollably with the picnic one!!!!! She's 64 and she kept fart laughing! I love my mom.
My favorites are the ones saying my car insurance expired... when I don't have a car. Or a license. XD
My shoes are my car, does it need insurance?
They called about my car insurance…..my car was brand new, less than a year old. But apparently I still needed a new warranty!🙄
I used to get calls trying to sell me insulation for my roof. I would let them run through their whole spiel, sounding very interested the whole way through. Then when they asked for payment, I would break the news that I lived in a ground floor (US 1st floor) flat & the only thing above my ceiling was the upstairs flat. I stopped getting calls about insulation.
I had one telling me about a security breach into my account at the TD bank : never had any account there !
That last one is great too!!😂😂Using the broken English against them.🤣🤣
Yes here in the south there were grocery stores called Piggly Wiggly
Thats hilarious 🤣
@@twistedtrees4175 it's the truth tho

Oh the things I do to entertain myself while in quarantine and now on bed rest.
It is not about having time for that when answering to a scammer, the intend is to make them loose time, the more they loose, the less they have to get another victim 😎
Absolutely
It's lose, Joel. Not loose lolol
And it's a treat to make them look so gullible and stupid.
Omg that last one had me laughing so hard! I got scammed pretty bad one time and was actually pretty traumatized by it, thanks for helping me to laugh about it. I'll know what to do next time they try it now! And pleeease do a whole series on this! 😘
Her learning that Piggly Wiggly is an actual store is great
"I'm starting to think you're not my mother" 🤣🤣🤣
"You're just taking me as I am, I don't have time to fix myself" ...not bad advice.
I mean, it’s honest! 😂
Hysterical! I have two friends that do that to telemarketers. I don’t have the time or patience. Love these videos....keep them coming!
In1995, I had fallen into such a horrible financial crater! The day a bill collector called, I responded with, "thank God, you're saving me a call to Suicide Hotline!". I proceeded ticking off my messes A thru L. Maybe 90 seconds in, the phone softly clicked and dial tone started. I am one of the few people in the world that a collection agency hung up on me cause I was so pitiful!!
That’s AWESOME!!!!!
Yes, yes, yes! Please do a Part 2. That was funny... loved it.
Oh Charlotte ! I'm so sorry you had to be scammed but so glad it makes you publish these unintelligent scammer's ridicule ! And I will be grateful for my trust issues with strangers, from now on ! The CEO bit made me think that this particular scammer comes from where titles are considered essential and not from our parts. Or that he is really not knowledgeable about texting (no "signature" necessary after text and the repetitive use of some words or expressions). Or that he has a template of possible responses to what the potential "scammed" person says, and must not deviate from it. Really funny !!!
I got scammed by a “company” that offered me a job as an assistant. They took me for $2000. I really needed a job so I was a bit desperate and it was quite embarrassing because I always felt like I was smarter than that. Live and learn 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry to hear about that. I think we all get scammed at least once or twice. I got scammed by a stock broker long ago. The important part is to learn from it. I eventually just chalked it up as "education cost".
Don't feel too bad about it. When it's about jobs, we get scammed all the time, sadly. Because we trade our time for money. and the money will never replace lost time. ;)
One giveaway for a scam job is when the person doing the interview talks, talks and talks and you understand nothing in the end, and you don't get to ask questions nor anything.
What company was it? So I know to steer clear.
Just like MLM and pyramid schemes, any "business" that requires you to outlay your own money to "be employed" is a scam. Very simple principle really. But Charlotte is exactly correct; they prey on people at their most vulnerable and desperate.
@@cocoavideos , I haven't because I don't trust anyone at all...my mother in law has almost gotten scammed a few times but my husband set her strait.
That feeling you get when you realize that you have watched ALL of Charlottes videos......😫😫😫😫NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHYYYYY! WHYYYYYYY!!!! 😣😣😱😱😱😱

That first one was good. Got caught in that long conversation.
My boss got the "CEO" scam over email from his boss. He legit almost bought the cards, until he checked where he should delivered them too then realised it was a scam.
Omggggggg lol the ads in this video are for marketing mlm 🤣 Charlotte thank you for keeping me entertained during my workday! 😘 and yes I always make time to mess with them. I waste their time so some old lady hopefully misses their phone call.
One of my favourite things in life is playing stupid with scammers and then hitting them with the line 'here's the thing sunshine...' it drives them mental. It's like patronising them is kryptonite and I love it
That was surprisingly entertaining! You might also enjoy reacting to the youtube videos of hackers who hack into and crash the systems of foreign call center scammers. Very cathartic!!! :D
Unfortunately yes, we do have a Piggly Wiggly grocery store lol.
Hey my birthday was on the 5th. Happy Birthday!

Well done for speaking up about being scammed. I work in England and part of my job is to help the victims of scams. Never give out your bank or other payment details to anyone.
That first story is so funny and those responses are gold.
My coworker was telling me two weeks ago about how she was almost scammed. I was cringing as she was telling the story. The ONLY reason she didn't send the money is that the store was closed by the time she got there. She found it was a scam when she spoke with her daughter later the same night.
My friend does stuff like this and screenshots the interactions for everyone on Facebook to see. It's hysterical! I'm sending him this video! 🤣🤣🤣

EARLY-SQUAD! Love you, Potato👑Charlotte😍💗💯
Sometimes I wish that I had the patience to do this when I get messages like this. One day I will, though, just have a go at seeing how long I can really mess with a scammer,
Oh Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte. Dear you a smart young lady , you give me hope for our society. Don’t fall for scammers, you know better. If you want to help someone donate to a shelter or go to a church or a community center . They have list of people and/ or families that need help and they have already been vetted, so you can truly know we were not scammed and did a good thing
How to beat a scammer by becoming a scammer and out scamming them. Also happy belated birthday Charlotte and I hope you had a great birthday
My grandma once got a call from someone claiming to her grandson saying that he got stranded overseas on a trip and needed money to get back home.
She saw right through it because she knew none of us were on vacation, and hung up on the guy.
The ones we usually get over here is when they phone you and say: "Hello, Mr _____, I'm calling about the recent road traffic accident you were in..." it's like some sort of accident/injury compensation scam... usually I say something like: "Do you mean that really bad one on the A92 a few weeks ago, the one that nobody survived?" and then "'CLICK...."
My husband takes over those calls, its always funny. Sometimes it is wheelchair crashing into either an old person or bus etc. Its funny
These sound like our normal UK scam calls, I either keep them on the line for as long as possible or use the "This is my private number, that I don't give out anywhere, how did you get it?" they sometimes try to give excuses but more hang up. lol.
_Hi this is your friendly PPI claims scammer. Has your PPI been in a bad accident, we will need access to your computings_
Omg this video had me weak…. I woke my husband up from laughing uncontrollably 🤣🤣🤣
13:05 Those set of numbers from "lost" though 😂😂
once had a random dude claiming as my mum and messaged me "Donate $10 000 for your sisters death"bish i dont have a sister
"Netflix" keeps trying to get me to update my bank info lately... 🙄🙄
That scam was talked about on the news. Don't do it
@@kittensworkshopmcrae5878 Thanks for letting me know!
I toyed with a scammer, they were pretending to be Tom Hiddleston!
Sigh, I would have fallen for that.
@@curlsandflowerss7887 I almost did but my brain said..Hold up.
What makes that CEO clip so much funnier is the fact you can still see the persons name under the ink. Bruce Flintcroft. LOL
Omg this is my fave!! Scammers getting owned is the best 😂😂😂
Aaaah hah haa that was freaking hilarious 😂😂 Yes part 2 please. I have a friend(?not sure at this point) but she has been catfished for part 2 years. I have proved all the little info about this scammer is wrong...it's all lies but she won't believe me and has already given him 2000.00 euros. Could you do a catfish one ? Perhaps my last effort to get her to believe he is not real & only wants her money. Thanks 👍👍
I once got an email from the CEO on my work email and thought it was legit for a hot minute and I'm pretty good at recognizing scams. I was pretty new with the company I work for, so I really thought it was them... until they asked for some type of visa cards 🤣🤣. I definitely fucked with them for a few minutes.
"I hope you're not a scammer. The last person who tried to scam me, I tracked down and scammed their forehead with a cinder block. Are you still there? Grandma?"
Might not want to use that one. It sounds illegal. I'll try it and let yall know.
@Silicon Nomad I'm now only allowed one phone call.
Kidding.
Maybe.
I’m still foflmao 😊😂😂😂😂… that last one was brilliant!
Absolutely love your content, you really brighten my day much love from the UK ❤❤❤❤❤
I toyed with a scammer for about three months. I knew from the get-go that she wanted iTunes cards. She figured since I was single, I must be desperate. "She" really pushed the long-distance relationship thing. But, I have a rule about dating people sight-unseen. For all I knew, "she" could be a "he" living in his/her mom's basement and covered with hairy moles.
The moment I told her that I was on a budget and didn't have the money to help her "fix her phone," she stopped messaging me. It's sad how many people will actually fall for this kind of stunt.
Still, it was nice having someone to talk to for those three months...
