Whether we'd like to admit it or not, we fall for scams sometimes. Maybe not we Pandas particularly, but we as a society. According to a report by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance and Feedzai, scammers siphoned away over $1.03 trillion globally in 2024.

Yet not everyone is so easy to scam. Some people know how to play scammers at their own game, and when they put their scammer detective hats on, hilarity often ensues. We love to see scammers getting payback, so, we've collected some of the most creative and funniest conversations of the kind. See them below and rejoice!

We also want Panda to be safe online and know how to protect themselves from scammers. So, we reached out to Jake Moore, the global cybersecurity advisor at ESET, Europe's number one cybersecurity company. He kindly agreed to talk to Bored Panda about the risks of scam-baiting, the most common scam tactics today and offered some practical tips on how to keep scammers away. Read his expert insights below!

    Nice. Even better would be Silmarillion quotes. "“The dawn is brief and the day full often belies its promise.” “I will not debate with you Dark Elf." "here I am King and whether you will it or will it not my doom is law." “We have sworn, and not lightly. This oath we will keep. " “This only was wanting. Now comes the night.” All sorts of nice quotes to work with.

    If you think only losers fall victim to scams, you probably need to think again. Recent data from Gallup shows that one in three Americans have at least one family member who was scammed in the past year. 8% say they've been victims of financial fraud themselves.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    While the numbers aren't that high, scams are still the second-worst crime worry for American households. 57% of respondents told Gallup that they often or occasionally fear getting scammed. The one thing that scares people more than scams is identity theft, as 72% of the respondents worry about it because they believe the ramifications might be worse than any other type of crime.

    Scammer doesn’t have access to “victims” cashapp. Just his Facebook. But he’s trying to convince OP it’s his buddy, so obviously would be able to access the app o his phone. So OP immediately “sends” the requested amount to the CashApp for his friend. Leaving the scammer unable to access it.

    The scammer pretends to be this person's friend on Facebook but he only has access to the Facebook account he hacked, not his cashapp, that's why he's trying to convince him to send the money via Facebook. The person pretends to send money to his "friend in need" via cashapp and the scammer receives nothing.

    Most of the conversations we've collected here are clever comebacks to scammers, but people also love a good scam-baiting story. Mostly because it's so satisfying to see a swindler get their comeuppance. Usually, scam baiting refers to people wasting a scammer's time and resources so they can't con even more people.

    Some people have even turned scam baiting into careers. Like the YouTube channel Scammer Payback, where creator and streamer Pierogi catches scammers and serves them justice, which has over eight million subscribers. Reddit also has dedicated communities where people bait scammers, like r/Scams, r/ScammerPayback, r/scammers, r/scambait, and more.

    Back in the old days of landlines, pre-answering machine, there was no way of knowing who was calling. I would answer the phone in a childish voice. If it was an actual call for me, I'd clear my throat, apologize, and continue the conversation. But if it was some buffoon calling to sell me something, I kept up with the child voice, yelling into the next room "Mommy, Mommy, there's some man on the phone", then drop the receiver onto the floor. I'd hang it up when I heard the disconnect tone.

    My uncle never said a simple hello when answering his landline. He'd always say "hello, Battersea dogs home [or] fawlty towers [or] Trotters Independent Traders" (Google is definitely your friend if you're not from the U.K. or Ireland and if you don't know what these are). Everyone who knows him, knows exactly what he's like. If people were looking for him, genuinely, it was easily laughed off, because it was funny.

    While scam baiting might be fun and satisfying to read about, there are many risks associated with it. While digital creators both educate and entertain their audience with their scam-baiting tactics, it can easily backfire for some. 

    Global cybersecurity advisor at ESET Jake Moore kindly agreed to tell Bored Panda more about why it might be so dangerous. "Scam-baiting can bring personal safety concerns like retaliation, harassment, or even reverse cyberattacks," he says. "Scammers can often know much more about their victims than they let on, so, although it may be tempting, it can be very dangerous to lead them on."

    Had several people pestering me about a historical house we were renovating. When we had around 300k in it some idiot says he'll give 80 because it's tax assessed at 76500. He couldn't understand that value was pre resto. Another kept calling and texting for years. Near the end I told him we'll walk away for 500 and we'll finish it and walk for 600 cash. That finally got that idiot to quit. And OMG every single one, every single time asked how I arrived at (figure)? Do they not think I know how much I have invested in a full reno? One called my wife at her office one day wanting to by it. They had no clue it was a business and a commercial building. They got the message when she told them $2M

    I specifically remember the Texas Chainsaw Massacre House that must be a different house not the main one?

    He warns people that in some cases, there might even be legal repercussions. "Although it may seem counterintuitive, there could even be potential legal implications if the scam baiter crosses boundaries such as recording the conversations without proper consent or places any software on the scammers' devices."

    "Thank you for sending this message, so I would have another phone number to give to him."

    Scammers try to rip people off using many different tactics: advanced fee payments, pretending to be customer service or a government agency, telemarketing, and many more. Yet the most common way scammers get people's money is by sending out phishing emails. "Attackers impersonate trustworthy entities to obtain sensitive information," Moore explains.

    James, Agree, some breeds have too many problems baked in. I remember seeing an article about someone trying to breed them back to a more normal dog. Not a Frenchie - but a friend had a little cute purse dog. Probably smaller than the dog in Legally Blond. The dog died by jumping out of a parked car. Parked - rolled down window - the dog jumped the 2 1/2 or 3 feet to the ground. That was too high a jump for it.

( the winner had their drinks and meal paid for by the rest of our group on the next night out). Totally love bombed me and within 2 days asked for voucher cards as they were almost out of phone credit and didn't want to not be able to text me. Then said if I sent $1000 to their sergeant he'd let them home early as they were stationed in Egypt somewhere.

    If someone asked you to fill in the blank for "little hairless A-hole of a ____", how many of you would fill in "COW"? I mean, maybe CAT, possibly POSSUM, but we used to raise cows and both the front end and the back end are not that "little".

    Should I Be Worried?

    Funny scammer responses featuring a fake FBI badge in a text conversation.

    I’m kind of new to this subreddit and I gave myself an opportunity to scam a scammer back and I actually succeeded, but the only problem is that they have my number and they can have the opportunity to text me. Now the way that “she” said “I’ll make you surfer” is kind of worrying me a little bit and I don’t know if she actually means it or not. I’m kind of freaked out. And I’ve seen at least seen 13-17 year olds do it and have fun. But I’m kind of worried about the outcome for me though. (I’m 15 years old with somewhat high anxiety). I just need some clarity if they’re actually bluffing instead to strike fear.

    Snitched

    Text message exchange showing a funny-scammer-response involving a fake complaint submission.

    So I got a text from "yahoo" earlier today saying something along the lines of "someone has tried to add a phone number to your account. Rely 'N' if this was not you, otherwise just ignore this text." Without thinking, I replied "N". Something seemed off, as I didn't get an immediate auto response. So l went online and logged into yahoo. I changed my password, checked to make sure I still had two factor authorization set up, and looked at my account activity. There was nothing there regarding any phone number change attempts Fast forward to about 10 minutes later, I get another text from the original number saying I need to provide them with the security code that yahoo is sending me so that they can secure my account. While reading that text, I get a text from yahoo with a verification code. Naturally I deleted both conversations and just went about my day. Another ten minutes goes by, and I get another text (pictured below) about how this is my last opportunity to send my yahoo verification code. Boom, another code comes through from yahoo. Being as I am home with Covid and bored, I decide to see who I can cry and whine to about this. After a few minutes poking around, I find myself filling out a cyber scam report on fbi.gov. Once I was done, 1 was about to close the web page when I thought 'let's have some fun for once! So I took a screen shot of the page and sent it to the scam number. I couldn't be happier with the response I received.
