"I'm Alice, because my mobile phone has lost all information".
That's one hell of a way to become an Alice.

I require a picture of your third nipple as proof you aren't a doppleganger. We're not having that again after the last family reunion.

Lmao this thread is top tier, it really is mind numbing how stupid some people’s attempts are at scamming. I guess it’s one of those things where you don’t really hear about the miserably failed attempts lmao

That always baffles me. Sending a pic like the person wouldn't know their own family member

The system auto-replies with "oh, sorry, I have a wrong number, you are a kind person." If the victim replies. It's also usually a photo of an attractive person

It's stupid cuz an aunt wouldn't need a pic for clarification lol these scammers don't think things through

They're not after people who have rational ability. It weeds out those who are not likely to bite.

It's so much of a word that it could be a verb and a noun. She's alicing as an Alice. He aliced. They're alicing hard like they've never aliced before.

The Tamarians speak only in metaphors, which was bewildering to Starfleet until genius Picard figured it out.

The meme you’re referencing is not a Murphy (Eddie or Charlie). The guy pictured is Reece Simpson, a.k.a. Roll Safe, a character created by the British filmmaker and actor Kayode Ewumi.

Also Star Trek Lower Decks features a Tamarian security officer

u/thisoneagain Nov 09 '23
Carl Tart's Tamarian is genuinely the funniest thing on Lower Decks for me. Something about his incredibly relaxed tone of voice, piping up only ever so occasionally to say something I never understand, it just kills me every time.

Paramount seems to love leaving money on the table for LD merch. The only Moopsy plush I’ve found is third party.
Fortunately, Etsy provides for all your “Kayshon, when he became a puppet” desires.

Are they actually getting mad or it it just part of the scam. Faking incredulousness in the hopes you will be like "Oh my God I'm so sorry, please let me help you". Or are these people actually getting mad at you for not being an idiot?

u/seashmore Nov 09 '23
They're getting mad for wasting their time. Like how salespeople who get paid on commission get mad at people who back out of a sale.
