My fishing trip got cancelled today, so I decided to have a little fun giving a wanna-be-scammer a hard time.
Scammer: “Hello ..... How are you doing and how is life treating you?”
Me: "Good"
Scammer: "Good to hear from you, I’m not doing so well...I went to dr and i was tested positive for strep throat. Ugh!! Other than that glad to hear from you and have you heard about the good news yet?"
Me: "I think I did."
Scammer: "I'm on Antibiotics. It's about the federal government and the National Institute of Health(NIH) have you heard from them yet?"
Me: "Yes I have."
Scammer: "It's a special program for helping the youth, old , disable, retired non retired and citizens with cash for paying bills, buying homes and starting their own business..did you get any notification from them yet?"
Me: "Yes I did and I applied."
Scammer: "Okay what's the name of the agent you applied?"
Me: "Sorry, I was told not to let anyone know."
Scammer: "That is a scam Kent I know this people they scammed be before o finally got in touch with agent Micheal how much have you given them?"
Me: I sure hope not. I gave them $10,000. I'm sure that I will receive as much as you did. I just sent the money last week. They promised me it wasn't a scam. Curt, how do you know it is a scam?"
Scammer: "Kent they have just scammed you."
Me: "How do you know?"
Scammer: "Do the agent have ID card? Omg no stop i was scam by those people too they won't deliver any money to you only agent Micheal can help you"
Me: "How could I know if he had an ID card?
Scammer: "Ask him to show you Kent now I want you to message Micheal cooley
He is the only true agent all those agent are fake Curtis
You should trust me okay I think I have to show you the package I got okay I have the picture of what they delivered to me"
Me: "How is an agent going to show me his ID through the Internet?"
Scammer: "That is how you know they are real all real agent will show you id card What is his name?"
Me: "As I told you, I promised not to tell his name. How do you know an ID card isn't fake?"
Scammer: "Do you trust me? They won't deliver a dime to you How much have you given them? I gave Michael just $500 and they delivery was made"
Me: " You write good English. Where did you learn?
Scammer: "Learn??? How??"
Me: "I know English isn't your primary language, so just curious where you learned it."
Scammer: "Forget about it, let them keep scamming you okay"
Me: "BTW my Uncle Curt died two weeks ago. Who are you and how is the weather in India?"
Scammer: "Then why are you stressing me"
Me: "BTW I didn't get scammed by anyone and I won't get scammed by you either."
Scammer: "Am not in India"
Me: "Your not in the USA either."
Scammer: "Yes"
Me: "Oh really, where?"
Scammer: "Nigeria"
Me: "Well better luck scamming your next victim."
Scammer: "Can you help me please?"
Me: "With what?"
Scammer: "I need a better job"
Me: "It is unfortunate you have to earn a living scamming people. Some people can't afford to lose their money. Not everyone in the USA is rich."
Scammer: "Okay"
Me: "I understand that honest work is not easy to find in Nigeria."
Scammer: "Yeah that's true
But I don't have a choice"
Me: "I do compliment you on how well you have learned English. I am sorry that you don't have a choice. It has to be difficult."
Scammer: "It seems you don't want to help"
Me: "How could I help. I don't know how I could get you an honest job and I'm certainly not going to send you any money. I thought you would appreciate me being nice to you, when I know you are trying to scam me."
Scammer: "Okay good thank you anyway"
Scammer: “Hello ..... How are you doing and how is life treating you?”
Me: "Good"
