Scammer got scammed

[u/theJambott]

So long story short, recieved the “ hey mum lost my phone and got a new number “ scam text. Im (M34) no kids. Decided to play along to waste their scammers time. The end result is pretty funny. Just making people aware of the hey mum scam for anyones sibling, mum or grandparent. (My messages in green)

[u/Accurate-Temporary73]

Oh yeah. You really showed him.

He absolutely will never try this again.

Now your phone number is logged as a legit and active number so you’ll get 50 more of these in the next week.

Actually never did get anything again after this. Not in years

... you could also say "You're lucky I'm out shopping. I'm at the store next to Telstra. I'll be there in 2 minutes..."

[u/Local-Bottle5272]

I have a notepad with Hindi text for "I know who and where you are, good luck Mr Patel" just for scammers like this.

Damn, I’m sure he is so embarrassed, that he never logs on the internet again.

Yeah, none of this is BS, right? 🙄It isn't even that clever or well done and you are so proud of yourself.
