Just give your phone number to a fake profile.
Be leary friend, once done it cannot be undone until you change your number.
On bad days my phone will get a call every 5-20 minutes for 12-18 hours. Thise are rare thankfully.
Hahaha I got a scammer who called me today and before he could get a word out, I said, “to eat a dick!” It was silence for a while before they realized what I said. Then I repeated myself. He then ignores me and goes into this fake Amazon compromised account script. I just kept repeating it louder. He then got frustrated and hung up the phone. Sounds like a lot of dicks are on the menu tonight. I hope it fills them up.
Wrong, they are actually three, hausa being the most common, but used primarily in the North.
Pls note Nigeria as over 509 languages it's just those 3 with the largest populations
My husband will sometimes mess with scammers that call our phone. He just jokes around and says silly things to them, and they always get so mad and end the call by saying “I fucked your wife!”. It must be their biggest insult.
My husband is Indian and told me the worst insult you can give to Indian scammers is tell them their dick is small or accuse their mother of being a lesbian. Legit tried both with amazing results. Had one scammer get so triggered that he called me back 40x. Called 10x in one day and then multiple times a day throughout that week. Fortunately, the scammer was stupid and called me direct from the number they were using and didn’t scramble his number prior, so I called that number back and told his manager how he has been calling me all week long. The calls immediately stopped because bucko was wasting time harassing one person instead of making money. Great success!
Apologies, I should clarify. I’m really sick atm and hopped up on meds, so a bit incoherent lol. I spoke to someone else there who *told* their manager. I didn’t speak to them directly, but I essentially said this guy has personally called me extensively throughout the week. They get in big shit for not moving on from a failed call. I know it got around to their boss because the calls
stopped that day LOL
I was working a desk job at the time and had so much spare time to goof off, so I made the best of it. Every time he called, I’d get even more excited and get him raging more. I’d answer with something like, “you missed me so much that you keep calling me all the time,” or, “hey your mom called and said she’s down for lesbian sex with me again tonight. Sounds like I’m going to be your step-mom!”. The curses in Hindi I received from this guy were to not be repeated! 😂
Sometimes I answer scam calls by saying “county morgue how can I help you” or sheriff’s department- they usually hang up. Other times I just blow a whistle into the phone or scream loudly, make weird sounds etc
The irony. Usually they learn it when I call them that and then just repeat it back to me, clearly completely unaware of its meaning, and failing to grasp the irony.
Indians hate it when you say they have a tiny dick and you fucked their wife.
Learn to say it in hindi though. Listening to them scream and bang their desk is delicious.
And so low-effort! "Help, I need money so my kids can play video games!" In what world is that something worth begging over? Are they being bored to literal death?
Also, there are free games out there, so...?
I never looked into why, but one reason could be that they were on the internet bandwagon fairly early on. When I was a kid, the Nigerian Prince email scam was the first kind of scam I ever heard of. And almost every phishing scam out there is similar in some way. Now they’re getting lazy and just begging strangers for money under false pretences. I’ve personally only had encounters with Indian phone scammers, but I’m sure some of the random messages I get are Nigerians.
nah, nigerians, indians, chinese, and people from Gambia they all do it, you're not wrong, indians are more famous for phone scams, the rest are on social media, china has been exploring through text messages more often lately it seems though, but then they want you to DL telegram to finish the scam there.
I've gotten hittin up like this so many times on FB mssgs acting like they are a female in the US and they ask for some kinda digital card for their kid so he can play video games...fuck off scammer and your kid!!
Same here. I don’t even accept their message or friend requests, I look at their friends and they’re usually all from India or Africa, especially if it’s an account that was started a while ago but has no activity until recently. If it’s an account that’s had activity for a few months, their friends are all guys from all over the place and look like they don’t get much attention from women outside of the internet.
I accept them all. I have a fake profile specifically for baiting scammers. The more you accept, the more request to message or add you. I wake up to hundreds of friend requests every day.
One trick out here in Nigeria is never to ask "How are you doing too?" That's just opening a big freeway to be "billed" (slang meaning getting someone pour out their financial problems in the hope that you send them some money). Always side step that urge to ask "How are you doing?".
One of my favorites is when they are pretending to be women and I'm like "send me your dick for $$$$ bro" and they do and I'm like "HA you're gay bro!! Super gay!! No money for gay tiny penis boys like you!!"
*They. Lose. Their. SHIT.*
Some other people have said something to this affect too and I only now just realized that go back to nigeria is literally the same as go back to Africa 💀
My bad lol
Was curious what the scammer was saying so i translated. According to google, in Japanese and Yoruba he said:
"Lord no"
"The child has a picture tail."
"the bad guy"
You know. I am a bit more critical of American reaction to scammers from other countries. "They are most often Nigerian" "they are Indian" ETC bc in the broader , historical context:
The country of America stuck our whole foot in these countries, destabilized their societies, forced them into dangerous labor to extract precious metals and minerals. To feed our never ending consumerism. And there's more that I'm sure I don't even know about or understand. Britain the bigger culprit with India but America is born straight from Britain if we are being honest.
I get this sub is scammer payback but how often do y'all think folks go out of their way to be mean to these people, who in my mind, got forced into a shitty situation that our forefathers started and nowfathers are actively continuing. Like if you know they are a scammer why engage them for so long?
I am a self proclaimed social justice warrior so dunk on me if you want lol
I understand that, im all for wasting their time in silly ways. Love when folks use chatGPT or say random crap that makes no sense. Tell em a fake wacky story.
But saying things like "Get A Job" and "Go Back To X" are classist and racist. I guess what I'm getting at is that it seems sometimes folks use these people as a like Low Hanging Punching bag for their anger. Or how quickly folks frustration morphs into racism/ classism.
I will also say I have seen a scammers in other cases saying shit like "I'm gonna send a pack of [racial slurs] to your house to [violence] you" which also shows their racism. You can make an argument for both sides. But I do think it's important to think about what power you hold, especially if you are a white American, and be mindful of your biases and where your anger is targeted.
I guess kids eat digital money?

I used to work at Target and we had old people fall for this exact setup all the time. None of them know what Steam is.
I don’t know what you were saying in Nigerian at the end but it sounds glorious 💀
I said that his father fucked a pig and gave birth to him. Then his mother sucked 1000 pig dicks.
i need your energy and insults istg
I picked these up by translating insults other scammers have sent me before I found this sub. Fucking with them has been a hobby of mine for years!
it sounds so fun if scammers actually messaged me instead of calling 😭😭
I get 8-20 calls a day from masked numbers lol
thats so luckyyy if i find one ill definetly mess around
Just give your phone number to a fake profile. Be leary friend, once done it cannot be undone until you change your number. On bad days my phone will get a call every 5-20 minutes for 12-18 hours. Thise are rare thankfully.
alrighty i might try it,thank youuu
Use a Google number.
It is not. I hate it
I'm a Nigerian living in USA but I really credit you for messing with that idiots scammer
Any tips on how to make them angrier?
Tell them they are failure in pidgin language
Oh wow
Hahaha I got a scammer who called me today and before he could get a word out, I said, “to eat a dick!” It was silence for a while before they realized what I said. Then I repeated myself.

They can eat a sack of baby dicks nigga! -Thugnificent probably
Ackchuuuuaaallly it was Macktastic. They were just being exemplary neighbours
😂😂😂 epic
This is a good one. This whole interaction. Haha got em.
I was gonna ask a nigerian coworker what it meant. Glad I saw this before I asked her.
I was so confused. Google translated it to “your mother bought a thousand pigs” 😂
I just want to know how to say mother bitch in Nigerian
Olosho n'Iya rẹ̀
Are you a fan of the Boosh?!
Google translate
In my experience translate doesn’t do too well at jokes…pretty robotic audience
The two primary languages are Yoruba and Igbo not “Nigerian”.
Same with Cantonese and Chinese, and yet a majority of people would generalize it as 'chinese' if you didn't know better.
Wrong, they are actually three, hausa being the most common, but used primarily in the North. Pls note Nigeria as over 509 languages it's just those 3 with the largest populations
There are actually 6 dialects in Nigeria hence the umbrella term Nigerian language(s).
"in Nigerian" is not the same as writing Nigerian languages.
So instead of listing all six dialects it would be Nigerian dialect(s). Either way people and the OP poster understood what I meant.
Who asked though?
“ please help , no money, how my kids going to purchase games on Steam?”
I would have run at 'watching videos of cannibals eating people' - that is some Hannibal Lector crazy shit.
That was me testing them
Intresting
Hey
*hey mama like the way you moooove gonna make you sweat gonna make you groooove...* **BOW BOW BOW BAW BOW BAH BAH WIDDLY BAAAHHH*

Steam cards must have very good flavor
why do scammers keep asking for steam cards ? what is the use?
They sell them and make a profit.
Or maybe they play games. Doubt it though.
“Fuck them kids” got me good 10/10

Because I'm divorced. Like duh.
Regrettably...

You talked to the scammer boss!!!???!!!

Still! 👏👏👏 that's fantastic! 😂 I hope you feel better soon!
This is amazing.
Besides you (possibly) getting that person fired, the “called me back 40x” made me giggle, I cannot imagine. 😭

Sounds like I’m going to be your step-mom!”. The curses in Hindi I received from this guy were to not be repeated! 😂
The best reply to that is “… and She told me about how small your cock was afterward and we laughed at your expense.”
Sometimes I answer scam calls by saying “county morgue how can I help you” or sheriff’s department- they usually hang up. Other times I just blow a whistle into the phone or scream loudly, make weird sounds etc
“County morgue, you stab ‘em, we bag ‘em.”
"County Morgue, You kill 'em, we chill 'em"
Yep one of them called me. It was two of them. They called me the n word.
The irony. Usually they learn it when I call them that and then just repeat it back to me, clearly completely unaware of its meaning, and failing to grasp the irony.
Indians hate it when you say they have a tiny dick and you fucked their wife. Learn to say it in hindi though. Listening to them scream and bang their desk is delicious.
I feel like this wasn’t even a scam. They got straight to the point with the needing money haha and begging
And so low-effort! "Help, I need money so my kids can play video games!" In what world is that something worth begging over? Are they being bored to literal death? Also, there are free games out there, so...?
It's always sus when they ask you to get gift cards...
Sometimes they are so quick with it lol

Why they're always Nigerian and not from other African countries?
I never looked into why, but one reason could be that they were on the internet bandwagon fairly early on. When I was a kid, the Nigerian Prince email scam was the first kind of scam I ever heard of. And almost every phishing scam out there is similar in some way. Now they’re getting lazy and just begging strangers for money under false pretences. I’ve personally only had encounters with Indian phone scammers, but I’m sure some of the random messages I get are Nigerians.
Begging strangers 24/7 is hard work though 😂😂 I wonder if they get a lot of money this way 🤔 I think they get more money with romance scam 🤑
I always assumed they were Indian until I translated their language. Alaye is a code word they use to identify other scammers.
Tonnes of scammers in the Caribbean as well
Trinidad is the worst of them.
Fuck! I've been calling them out as Inidians. I've been wrong all this time? 😭
nah, nigerians, indians, chinese, and people from Gambia they all do it, you're not wrong, indians are more famous for phone scams, the rest are on social media, china has been exploring through text messages more often lately it seems though, but then they want you to DL telegram to finish the scam there.
Dont forget Cameroonians too. On facebook groups, it’s mostly Nigerians and Cameroonians.
Chinese pretend to be Korean or Japanese when they text usually.
Self aware enough to know they are the less desirable Asian 💀
Can we just start replying with pictures of Zygerians from Rick and Morty?
Smashing idea old chap!
"This won't end well for you." I love the bibbity bobbity boo at the end lol
Kon ko Choo Choo!! All aboard the scammer train!
Thank you, (checks user name) CumLeakSlugTrail…
Ahh yes…a fellow Redditor of character I see…
Yeah I had an ex once streak my creampie across the hardwood floor and say "Look at me! Look at me! *I'm a SLUG!* She was a wild one...
It's about that time I looked up and saw a 300 foot tall girl scout named Nessie
God damned *Loch Ness Monsta!!*
see this is an example where being kinda racist is funny
Bro I didn't even realize I literally said go back to Africa until I looked for it on a map today. 💀
“Window.”
“Fuck them kids” has got to be on of my favorite slang sentences of all time. Just really rolls off the tongue
How hard would it have been to get a real Steam error message for an invalid card? I feel like that would be even easier than the fake one.
U can tell from there English it doesn’t make sense
*THEIR English... yikes
Username doesn’t check out.
no way
Satisfaction and a language lesson!
Alaye is a code word nigerian scammers use to identify each other. Have fun with that.
Kids are playing advance warfare split screen ( you can’t even do that on the steam version lol )
The steam card 😂😂
I've gotten hittin up like this so many times on FB mssgs acting like they are a female in the US and they ask for some kinda digital card for their kid so he can play video games...fuck off scammer and your kid!!

I accept them all. I have a fake profile specifically for baiting scammers. The more you accept, the more request to message or add you. I wake up to hundreds of friend requests every day.
Yeah it's so obvious...they will have barely any friends and only 2 pics, of some random girl taken from Google.
My family is starving, please send me video game gift certificates.

Ah!! Wonderful!! Any other advice you can add to my arsenal?
Those cold-blooded responses got me dying. Haha.
I'm cold blooded like that IRL too.
This is the first time I've seen one reply like "Yo you caught me 🤪 😜 " 😆 🤣 I'm dying omg
One of my favorites is when they are pretending to be women and I'm like "send me your dick for $$$$ bro" and they do and I'm like "HA you're gay bro!! Super gay!! No money for gay tiny penis boys like you!!" *They. Lose. Their. SHIT.*
"fuck them kids call their dad" has me dying 😂😂😂😂
“I don’t have any money” right off the bat- I love it! 😂
I feel like you didn’t need to get weirdly racist at the end there but okay
Some other people have said something to this affect too and I only now just realized that go back to nigeria is literally the same as go back to Africa 💀 My bad lol
The non-defensiveness is refreshing 🙌🏻
Bruh, I’ve had the same scammer interaction!
The same profile???
Yes
Damn ig we are married now.
Did you just guess they spoke Yoruba? Or is that more common than, say, Hausa?
I have been fucking with these guys for ages. Sometimes they get furious and use their native tongue. Google told me what language it is.
Kids are playing advance warfare split screen ( you can’t even do that on the steam version lol )
I woulda just said, “ooga booga”. ☠️
I love this
I love you in case no one has said so today ♥️
Now that’s funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now that's what I call music!
why are you responding lol
Fucking with them is one of my hobbies.
lol. Well not all of them. Some of them are in Kenya.
We have lions and tigers here in Kenya!! 🎶
💯💯💯💯
For me more than half the time they are from China 🇨🇳
Let me guess texts with pictures of Kpop models?
No usually Weibo girls
What are those?
It’s a big social community China website.
Im just curious why they're friends on fb? Like, why add them if you don't know them
This is my scammer bait profile. It's a fake profile specifically designed to attract scammers. I fuck with them as a hobby.
Was curious what the scammer was saying so i translated. According to google, in Japanese and Yoruba he said: "Lord no" "The child has a picture tail." "the bad guy"
"This will not end well for you" "Empty headed"
And every time there's a child in the profile picture.
Always two first names, too.
No money for kids but a 50 steam card will help. Unreal

The longer you keep one busy, the less they scam someone else
I understand that, im all for wasting their time in silly ways. Love when folks use chatGPT or say random crap that makes no sense. Tell em a fake wacky story. But saying things like "Get A Job" and "Go Back To X" are classist and racist. I guess what I'm getting at is that it seems sometimes folks use these people as a like Low Hanging Punching bag for their anger. Or how quickly folks frustration morphs into racism/ classism. I will also say I have seen a scammers in other cases saying shit like "I'm gonna send a pack of [racial slurs] to your house to [violence] you" which also shows their racism.

Don't care. Get a job. Blah blah blah or something.
