With Graham Bells’ invention of the telephone in 1876, a new era of frauds began. And since swindlers have always been known for their smarts, phone scams soon began. Over time, these cheats grew to be the multi-million online scams that are active somewhere in Nigeria to this day.
It is not so easy to get scammed online as e-mails usually announce themselves as such, thanks to technology, but what happens when you get a text from an anonymous number? Well, when Imgur user Anthony Schillings received one such phone scammer text there was only one clear answer – play along.
Sent from an unknown number, Schillings received some interesting scamming ‘information’ from an “employee” at the “Exxon Mobile Corporation.” While some might have disregarded the message in fear of being scammed, it was this fraudster’s lucky day. Scroll down below to see how this man found a hilarious way to scamming a scammer and beating him at his own game.
Oh my god. I love the drawings lol. That's the best
This made me laugh out loud. Love a stick figure done right.
I saw a youtube video in which a scammer contacted a little old lady trying to get her to unlock her computer so he could take it over and strip it of personal info. Only the little old lady (actually a young man) turned out to be an expert hacker that actually gained access to the scammers computer and downloaded all the files before sending a worm to destroy their files and their servers. The last thing you hear on the video is the scammer getting slapped around by his boss.
Yes, I saw it also. It was funny
Oh, I gotta find that!
Yes that was epic.
How would one find this video?
@Kathleen it's not a live link on my cheap little tablet so I'll have to do it the old fashioned way and write it down or Google the name you gave below. Thanks bunches, though, for your time.
Cindy --- Regarding my previous comment. Here is a link in case they do allow it. (I saw a link on another comment, so maybe they allow them). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-j12NvUwhw
Cindy, You can google anything. --- I did google it and I found videos on youtube where this young guy pretends to be an old woman (he does a GREAT voice) and totally frustrates the scammers on the phone. ---- I did not see where he was hacking anyone (because that would be illegal). But there are multiple videos, and it IS funny. ---- They probably wont allow me to leave a link here, but on youtube his account name is Kitboga. Just find the youtube page with that name. <3
That sounds amazing, please can you post the link? I have to see this!
