30 Hilariously Bad Scam Messages That Didn’t Fool Anyone
Scams are way too common these days. Nearly every day, I get a call from a number I don’t recognize in a place I’ve never been. I usually ignore it, but sometimes it’s tough not to engage. I figure every hour spent messing with a scammer is an hour they can’t spend trying to steal some old lady’s retirement savings. It’s basically a public service. Scamming the scammers, if you will.
Someone has to do it, both for the safety of others and, more importantly, for our entertainment. I salute these brave people for answering the call and doing the hard work.
