She wasn't scaming, she was preaching the word of God! Go Grammy!!
Amen!!☺
She was yanking their chain! No scam there, just screwing with them! Hilarious!😅
She didn’t really believe that gibberish. She’s not a moron.
Media have to say that cause it crushes their worldview.😟

Good for her! But she wasn’t scamming them, she was serious.
Whaa?
This woman is wise & hilarious! Good for her 👏👏😂
Way to go! The longer you can waste their time, the less time they have to connect with someone that might be gullible.
Bumma should run a course for our elderly communities , she’s gold!
I love her! Thank you for wasting their time.
She wasn't "wasting" their time. She was planting seeds of revelation. Not time for the Rapture yet, but it's coming one day.
It wasn't "wasting" their time. She was trying to save them. She PLANTED A SEED.
@@Cynthia99911I think it's closer than we think! Maranatha!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My son loves talking to scammers!! He keeps talking til they hang up on him. Love it!
toddler?
God bless you grandma, God bless your family. Wise lady.
My son is doing this all the time.
He speaks to them with their accent 😅 and makes them crazy 🤪
LMAO 🤣
Bless this woman 😂
My mother in law is 90 and she is like this 😂😂
Omg her fake crying was cracking me up!
Good for you grandma!❤🎉😊
This beautiful grandma doing perfect in her 92 wish her long healthy life. God bless❤❤
Thanks for the ideas! 😆🤣
Those are some great genes! And a great relationship❤Grandma and granddaughter relationships are so special!
Love it! ❤ And I love when she preaches The Word! 🙌🏽
Get em, Grandma👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤
That’s my grandma even when it’s not a scammer .
I think that’s because we lose our filter.lol say it like it is..
THIS LADY IS WONDERFUL, TELLING THOSE FOLKS ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR ALL OF US❤❤❤😊😊😊
Beautiful lady Beautiful soul❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bless her heart 😂
This is the funniest ever! I though i was funny because i would pretend i called them and thank them for calling me back, and then priced to ask if they were ready to make their payment, but this is even better
I like your idea too! Never thought of doing that!
Ewwwwww 😂that is a great idea john haaaa
I love Baba !!! If the Government won't do anything to get this type of stuff under control we should all be like her .
Just Love this woman Internet GOLD
Love a good Granny story!
That is so funny at least she is wasting their time and as long as she is keeping them on the phone it stops orhers being scammed. She is doing the same as Scammer Payback and Kitboga on UA-cam along with many other scam baiters. 👍
Keep them on the phone, preaching truth. Then they can't harass other, older folks
When scammers call I do pretend I can not hear them and I keep saying. Hello, hello, hello....they get upset and hang up.
I do the same, I even say, mom is this you again, maybe you hit mute again lol
@@Lady_Cyndia I will borrow that :)
Thank you!
She should keep up the Good Work! 🤣😹👍👍👍🎉🍾
She looks GREAT & still has her wit! I love what she's doing! Thanks for airing this!
My dad, does this And I find it hilarious
Good for her!!! My 74 year ild neighbor was recently a victim of a romance scam. This creep took her for $22,000. Sad thing is, she said she fell in love with this creep. She is a recent widow.
oh I hope the creek wasn't too deep and she can swim
@@myopinion6092 troll
I've been doing that for years. My mom did it before she passed and my uncle does it too. That's not witty banter- that's the gospel. Get right or get left.
I am sure positive 100%.... God has motivated her for this ministry 👍👏✋✝️🙏
Every time I get a scam caller now I tell them I'll pray for a real job for them instead of them being a criminal. Once I said, "you need Jesus because you're a criminal". They are always shocked and hang up.
I call the FBI on 3 way
😂😂😂😂
She's the best ad libber I've ever seen! ❤ 🤣
Grandma deserve every acting award diniro and alec bladwin ever got. she's a hundred times better
Brilliant! 😂
That was no joke. She was saying a hope we all have. The rapture is a event that is going to happen. I pray this happens for her.
My grandmother would read the Bible to the scammers, she fell asleep in death awaiting for her to be resurrected.
Oh how the tables turn…
Y'all need to see "The Beekeeper". Lol!!
Great Grammy! When they call hubby he says” hello, you are on the air. Please start talking! “
Donna is great at these calls and I hope she comes to YT!
Now that's how you do it. Well done Grammy. ❤😊
The more we elders can do this, the better off everyone is. Sometimes I just start speaking Swedish or German and they hang up after a few minutes. It's good to ask lots of questions, which keeps them on the phone longer and can be lots of fun!
I usually recite a Poem in Spanish which I learned in High School in the 1960s. It’s all about El Cid and very boring. They usually hang up! I’m 75 now but I don’t get many scammer calls now as I have caller display and don’t pick up the phone if I don’t recognise the number. Years ago I remember getting a call wanting to get me compensation for my recent ‘accident’ so I went along with it and when he asked what my injuries were I told him they were terrible and he was lucky I could even talk, as I’d been decapitated! They often would swear at me before hanging up.
she looks great for a 92 year old
Love it! 😅😅😅
Scammers target Seniors. There needs to be a way to easily block numbers from landlines that is free for seniors.
Nice, but now scammers know how many kids and grandkids she has and the name of her granddaughter and that she doesn’t have a husband… hoping she never gets caught off guard.
My son, when he was ages 5-8 loved talking to these scammers. He was very bubbly. And they’d always hang up on them.
Amen Grammy! I'm also a Grammy and a Christian... God protects us when we depend on Him!
Love Her. Excellent response to the crooks😊
Think I am going to do just that😂 👏 bravo 💕
Brava! 👏👏👏
Great story!!!!!!! 😂
🤣 She just needs someone to talk to every now and then. 😉🙌🏼🥰 Sorry… still LMAO 🤣😭😂
Bumma could give classes to seniors on scamming the scammers. She's an angel in her own way.
What a beautiful woman and she’s 92?! Amazing. I think she’s got at least 10 more years to go.
Kitboga would be proud! 😂😂😂
What you laughing for ? She's correct He is coming ,,,
There's no rapture . The anti christ arrives first to deceive the World . There wasn't an apple in the garden either . Watch Shepherd's Chapel to learn the truth . All this nonsense will make sense once your eyes are opened .
@@tinaoina5105Its true
@@tinaoina5105It's true
It's true Jesus is coming back.
@@tinaoina5105 yup the bible says you would say that ,you just proved prophecy lol 😂
This is awesome 😂
They'll just call back, and back and back.
👍❤️ While she has them on the phone, at least one scammer isn't scamming anyone else!
She’s a sharp 92 year old! Great going, ma’am 😇
Good for her 😊
Love her. God bless her. She’s doing kingdom work from her chair. Do you know God? Amen, Bubba!
I use the same technique for door-to-door missionaries. The never come back. 😉
Right on. I sent to my 92 year old mom and told her See don't let people tell you
you are old.
❤ her. She’s a hot ticket as we say in Boston 😂
If anyone can talk your ears off for real or for fun, it's a very experienced woman... GO BUMMA!
😂😂😂😂😂 she did good
🤣 For extra fun, wait for the scammer to say Sir or Ma'am then (no matter which they said) get super angry and accuse them of mis-gendering you.
What an inspiration!!
She's the hilarious granny 😂she got that one good!!! I wish the other grandmas will see this and do the same and not be so vulnerable
This is glorious!
Shes clever! You can be angry, or scam them, we do the same thing. I spoke in my father’s accent, said explain again please? And just frustrated them he hung up. He called to see if anyone else could speak? It was so fun. Told him I had my computer ready.. he spoke slowly, I was cracking up! In the end, he said the key is on your keyboard ma’am!!! Listen!! When I said oh I don’t have a keyboard it’s a tablet, he cussed and hung up. End of it.😂😂😂😂. Hope she posts more she’s funny.
Good for her. 💖💖💖💖
I do pretty much the same thing but I’m only sixty three years old but I’ll ask them whatever pops into my head I’ll ask about family what their wearing how’s their weather but I haven’t gotten any lately though they’ve seemed to put me on a do not call him list and dang it I miss messing with them too but this lady seems like a great woman I especially loved the one that sang happy birthday to her that was awesome keep up the great work you inspire the rest of us bravo my dear bravo.
While we laughing that might not be a bad idea lol😂
Love her!
Think of how many people this woman has saved by keeping those scammers out of other peoples houses that aren’t as mentally prepared. Good job.
A great way to share the love of Christ and the salvation message. God bless you, grandmother, with safety and with the gospel message.
Best response to them ever!! 👏 😅
Love it 👏👏👏👏👏
My dad does this type of thing. When the scammer calls and asks "How are you doing today?". My dad starts off with, "Well not so good" then goes off making up health problems, trouble at work, all the home appliances breaking, the dog ran away. Pretty much an old country western song where everything has gone wrong.
Eventually they just hang up.
I love granny doing the Lord’s work
I am a Gen X 58 year old who will be 60 in two years. Do I become suddenly stupid and fall for scams? Hardly... if it sounds dire it is is a scam. Call the business, bank, or institution they're pretending to be.
My 88 yr old mother loves getting them on the phone. She will discuss dinner menu options, and what is going on with her health care. She doesn't have anything better to do with her time....lmao
I was getting 8-10 scammers calling every single day. I got rid of them recently by getting their first name, then overtaking them, saying I was so glad my grandson (inset their first name) called because I was promised you would call me on your birthday-so I sing Happy Birthday, loudly and off key. Then I very excitedly say thanks for the tickets to Paris, I have my passport ready when is he picking me up?
I just don’t answer those calls but maybe I should ! That would be fun.
God bless this grandma 😇
Good for you grandma! I started texting them back and I sent them Bible scriptures.
I love her❤❤❤
😆 good girl heeheee , that is what I used to do when ever I received those kinda calls , they stopped calling
Awesome, this is something that I enjoy doing when I am not busy, keep them talking so they are not scamming someone else!👍
Great story. I got a call and they said my mother has to have an operation, so could you help out. I said, you have the wrong number, this the lawyers office. They hung up right away.
Glad Bumma is getting the best of scammers but unfortunately, getting scammed is a reality for many elders. A 94 yr old family friend who is like an Uncle to me got scammed out of $34k from his bank account. It's truly shameful the level that some people will sink to in order to get money. The world is reciprocal, so as much as they think they're getting over, they will never truly prosper.
