…Scamming the Scammers… making their life hell through revenge…

[Mr Stickyfingers]

…obviously… everyone has probably had a scammer either ring them on the phone or have had a scam email sent to them or even had a ‘special’ message sent to them about a delay in the delivery of a parcel they haven’t ordered through Australia Post at one stage or another… but what happens when a scammer gets scammed by computer tech wise people working for companies or even the F.B.I. that are dedicated to catching the scammers?…

…I’ve had the magnificent luck in discovering websites on YouTube that have posted videos of them shutting down these scammers and in deleting all of their bank accounts and files of victims so they can return their money to them after handing it all over to the Police or F.B.I. or whoever in authority… they even make it so that they can’t even turn their computers off or in some circumstances… or that they can never use them again lol!… they even tap into their security cameras and are watching them ‘Live’ while they conduct their ‘sting’… lol!…

…here are some great examples from people like ‘Scambaiter’…

…and also ‘Kitboga’…

…also ‘Scammer Payback’…

…there are many others on YouTube… just enter ‘Scammers’ on Search and you will have hours of fun watching the scumbag scammers crying at times lol!… before I finish… have you got any funny stories of what you’ve said or done to scammers?… I’ll post a couple of instances I’ve had with them in future posts… I have great fun with them… I just wish that I was tech savvy enough to do what these guys do to them lol!… cheers.

…this one was fun… my phone rings…

Me: “hello?”… (a guy with an Indian accent is on the phone)…

Him: “hello sir… my name is Andrew…”…

Me: “CONGRATULATIONS!!!”… (I hang up… I have a titter to myself)…

…he never rang back… cheers.

I actually found out about scam baiting back when email was still their main source. These guys are way more sophisticated but equally as hilarious at times.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

…Kingston… have you ever been scammed?… I myself think of you being smarter than the average bear but I guess everyone can be got at sometimes… no matter how aware we are… I’m lucky enough not to have been had yet because my ‘Spidey senses’ usually kick in but it’s only a matter of time I guess?… cheers.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

…in Australia scammers are targeting people having deliveries through the Post Office… they say that there was not enough postage charge for your delivery to reach you so they ask you to pay by card to make up the difference… once you pay by card you’re stuffed!… to prevent that… just download the ‘Post Office’ app… it always lets you know directly of any parcels on their way… there’s no chance the scammers can get you… here’s the link below… cheers.

…if anybody has a tip to prevent you getting scammed and have a link please let us know (unless you’re a scammer of course lol!)… cheers.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

…we have a ‘Telstra’ app for all our payments for our Internet and phones… the other day we got an email to tell us to upgrade our app by following a link… I told my sweet darling wife to ignore it and delete it and go directly to the Telstra app… we logged into it… there were no directions to ‘update’ the app… problem solved… those sneaky scumbag bastards!… cheers.

No I was always taught that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. I came close once but it became obvious something wasn’t right when their demeanour changed as soon as I said I didn’t have a credit card lol.

I don't know how many texts I wake up to from Linkt telling me my toll wasn't paid and to pay it before action is taken.
Barking up the wrong tree here, I haven't driven on any of those roads for years, let alone driven at all since my eye op!

…I’ve had them hit me up for toll fees two or three times now and I haven’t been able to drive since my stroke 5 years ago Febs lol!… cheers.

Yes, they need to research their victims better!
It's like the ones you get saying your McAfee/Norton is about to expire - I don't use either of them, or please contact Westpac/Commonwealth bank to update your details - I don't have accounts with them.
They're the easy one!

There’s absolutely no need for any sort of sophistication when just like legal scammers (Telemarketers) it’s all a numbers game.

This is exactly why they’re so quick to give up or hang up as soon as you say hello because the more calls the greater their chances are of finding a potential victim.

Another thing about this whole scambaiting industry is how sad it is that people on YouTube doing it for fun and the kindness of their hearts are doing a much better job than our governments, policing agencies, and telecommunications companies at combatting and catching these fuckers.

That is something I find is odd. My partner answers his phone and says nothing, just waits, and the caller hangs up. I don't understand if they want to scam you why they hang up when you answer?

…I couldn’t agree more with this… especially within the USA… I can’t see that anyone within Australia doing the same thing… I just wish that I was computer savvy enough to hunt these fuckers down myself… I would be really ruthless with them and show no mercy whatsoever with them… they truly are scumbags… cheers.

…I dunno… perhaps all they have to do is get a 2 second reply just to register a tally of replies to get paid by their bosses maybe?… maybe they’re actually scamming their bosses by pretending that they’ve rang so many people but they’ve hung up on them?… maybe that’s why?… “gee boss… so many people have hung up on me today but look at how many people that I rang today!… do I get a bigger bonus for all that effort?… I’ve got a lot more then anyone else in the office today!… even more than Mohammed or Abdul in the office sitting beside me… so whaddya say boss?… do I get that bonus this week?”…

…who knows… maybe that’s it?… maybe they get paid on the amount of calls… not the success of the scams themselves?… if so… well done them… they’ve out-scammed the scammers themselves lol!… cheers.
