So I look through the whole son died PS5 on Facebook thing. I know a number of them will block you if you point out it’s a scam so I try to warn people through messaging privately. But I’ve found someone I want to mess with. But yeah I told them I live in Indiana and they told me they live in. Wisconsin. I tell them that’s just 2 states away I can go all the way there. They still do insist on paying shipping. So I want to find a way to mess with them and waste their time thinking they have a potential victim.
Acting like a confused old person in the least helpful ways possible is always fun. I would sometimes do this with telemarketers who called. I’d adopt a doddering old woman persona, who would say “ehh?” and ask them to repeat things over and over again, and when they asked her for information I’d go “let me look for that”, put the phone down, and then go make a bunch of loud noise as if I fell down.
This is the best way to do it because they will go further on the off chance that you are a prime scamming victim rather than someone winding them up. Hooked one for about 25 minutes once because I said the phone wasn’t next to the pc, so I had to keep shuffling between the two. Every time I came back from the pc, I gave the phone a whack on the table to make them jump.
My record is 75 min on a call from someone claiming to be Verizon. I was bored and it was epic.
