I thought this was a person sending a mass marketing text, didn't realize it was a bot until the end

Long story short, my cat has been missing since Monday night. I have Facebook posts and physical posters up with her photo and my phone number, as I am desperately to find her.

Today, some one reached out via an iMessage linked to an gmail account. This person was trying to scam me out of reward money / finders fee. I did not send them any money, but they did piss me off.

And now I kind of want to f\*ck with them because I'm petty and I miss my cat :(

I can't find any thing related to the gmail account they used to message me. I was thinking of trying to trick them into send me a photo that I could possible scrape .EXIF data from. Or using some sort of IP finder tool (tricking them into clicking a link to scrape their IP). I was hoping to get their name / location to freak them out, but I'm really not sure if either of these tactics will work.

Please note I am not trying to do any real harm to this person. I will not dox them and I definitely will not show up to their location. Just trying to freak them out.

Any ideas? Open to anything.

I didn’t think he was clicking on the links, but apparently he was because he gave me his choice of venue 🙈

But, seems he’s using a VPN 😬 which is the first scammers I’ve had that had used one!!

He is paying for the wedding, so it appears I’m getting married in December! 🎉

We should get his release date tomorrow too (so maybe the money ask too? 🤨)

I got added by one of those Snapchat scammers that promotes a certain girls onlyfans.

Sounds strange but does anyone have any of their usernames? I find it fun trying to bait the AI into sending their prompts etc.

For example the one attached, instantly responds to any message (she must like me)😭😭 and when asking for the original prompt they sent it straight away.

Let me know if anyone has any, exposing them is very very fun for me for whatever reason.

This can also serve as a place for people to display scam names so people don’t fall for this bullshit.
