I like to string scammers along for fun, if I have spare time.
These "pig butchering" scams provide hilarious possibilities.
They like to send their photo pretty early (always an attractive Asian lady), so I try and beat them to the punch and send my own photo (of course, also a photo of an Asian lady). Curiously, this doesn't deter them! My wife finds this particularly hilarious.
One time, I had 2 people randomly texting me at the same time, using the same name - Jenny. I started sending them screenshots of each other's conversations, which kind of annoyed them. "Which Jenny is this? Do you know the other Jenny?" lol
A list of things which also doesn't seem to deter them or make them think they might be being toyed with:
- Claiming to work for the FBI (in an anti-scammer unit)
- Being homeless
- Claiming to be Peter Frampton
- Claiming to be Bill Clinton
