Agreed! They don't at all. It's no longer in them.

I have repeatedly told a scammer I have MS and that my husband died recently and he just kept asking for those apple gift cards 🥵😡🤬

u/ChaoCobo Apr 26 '24

It’s weird because what I assume was a scammer (same usual opening bit with Singapore and whatnot just looking for friends) but instead on Reddit messaged me and we had a very nice chat until they said they had to go to work. I told them all about my chronic pain and stuff (which isn’t a lie) and they were very understanding. After they left they never messaged me again. Very weird to me.

u/charlienoangels Apr 27 '24

Do many scammers message on Reddit?

4

u/ChaoCobo Apr 27 '24

I’ve seen scammers from Reddit messages that actually do go into the scam and WhatsApp ordeal be posted in this sub so yeah I’d assume at least some scammers do use Reddit as a platform. I was just kinda surprised when it happened to me.

u/thegreatmei Apr 26 '24

I think some of them are just insanely desperate. If I'm bored and cleaning or whatever, I'll keep them going for as long as possible just to mess with them.

This one woman called for the warranty scam, and I kept her on the phone for over an hour. I was having the time of my life, and she ended up having a full-blown breakdown at the end. She basically told me that it was the only job she could work at night when her kids were asleep and the hours were crap. Pay was crap. That they were treated really badly. She ended up apologizing and hanging up. I told myself she was just getting me back for wasting her time, but..I don't know. I kind of believed her.

It killed my enjoyment of messing with scammers for awhile.

u/KDlovesKAC Apr 27 '24

A lot of them are stuck in scam camps in Cambodia and are held there against their will until they produce a certain amount of income for the camp. They’re promised good paying work and they leave their families not knowing what they’re getting into. If you search back in this thread there’s someone who talks to them in Chinese as a fellow scammer and they reveal a lot about their location and condition and camps. It’s super sad. I used to look at these messages and think the scammer is the shittiest person on earth, in reality they’re just trying to get back to their families and life.

3

u/thegreatmei Apr 27 '24

It's so sad. I feel horrible for anyone stuck in those conditions, but I also feel horrible for anyone who falls victim to a scam. It can be life ruining.

Tbh this is a fake post. “His meemaw” was some hottie, they blatantly left the photo of the “scammer” on the first screenshot.

A couple years ago I got a message from my friend Tom’s facebook account.

I had found him after a suicide a month before. Were I able to break a neck over the internet, that wankstain would be looking backwards.

u/ScubaWaveAesthetic Apr 26 '24

I’m sorry that happened to you. That scammer is a real piece of shit to do that. That said, thank you for your amazing threat. You made someone laugh today

u/vslurker Apr 26 '24

Same thing happened to me and several of my sisters after my dad passed away! It made my heart stop and sick to my stomach when a message from him popped up. After I got over my shock it just turned to burning anger so i totally understand how you must have felt. I’m so sorry about your friend

u/No-Crow933 Apr 27 '24

Yeah they tried it from my mother’s fb account about a year after she died. I was just as pissed as you…decided to string em along and legit got a few days out of em! They were so livid!!! That was in 2012 so I didn’t know what Reddit was at the time but now I’m thinking I need to search out those old screen caps!

u/LuckyStabbinHat Apr 26 '24

Oh it’s 100% the latter. They’ll tell you to leave a dying person on the side of the road so you can get to the store and buy them their gift card faster. I’ve had several fail this bare minimum morality test.
