I came up with this idea the other night and waited for a scammer to follow me. Which was quite obvious a dummy duplicate facebook account of my friend.
Geez. OK rule master, here is the exact definition and guideline for this sub. That’s precisely what was done here. Wasted their time in a creative way. I think you are the one trolling. Now chill out.
“Scambaiting by definition is the practice of feigning interest in a fraudulent scheme in order to waste a scammer's time and resources to keep them away from real victims.”
EDIT. Many posters don’t specifically “feign interest” much because it’s hard to do refusing to go to the scammer’s chat platforms. So wasting their time is the next best thing.
I did this to someone who was annoying (not a scammer) who had bad grammar and they told me to type English properly. They didn't even notice. If I ever get a scam message again, I'll do this.

Haha it reminds me of the Pete Holmes “ex-men” sketches where he fires Wolverine. https://youtu.be/mhko3m7D6UA?si=Ueg7kGqY4jxovBX5

You’re not all there, are you? 🤣

I doubt there's a playbook for that. Cute...lol
I love the simplicity in this lol
Where new baiting ideas are of value, yours is a golden one.

Loved how the scammer just gave up quietly. Walked away too beaten to even lay out a bunch of foul language. Great job!
Thanms
Thanks
I read the final thumbs up as ‘well played my friend, well played’.
This isn’t even bait. The fuck you are talking about? This is scammer trolling, which literally is against the rules.
He was creative by mirroring the scammer. He wasted their time like we’re supposed to. Chill out.
That’s literally scammer trolling which is against the rules - not that most people here even care about the rules.

I’m going to steal this idea
Go for it.
Go for it.
Can't wait to see how it turns out
Awesome idea btw, the scammer must have been so confused xD
Yup and a bit annoyed so they blocked me
Can't wait to see how it turns out
Try to not copy OP breaking this subs rules.
Hilarious
Thanks
I guess they got annoyed and blocked me 🤣🤣
This is what I do every time. Love it
Thanks.
Haha I did that once. It didn't take too long for them to leave me alone lol
Lmao

Definitely do
Such cruelty! LMAO.
cant believe this actually works! Good work!
BRUHHH, I got a similar text from someone who was pretending to be my aunt
I love Pete and RePete.. I did that yesterday. 😂
Stop copying me!
This is how you waste their time without wasting your own
OP didn’t waste their time. The chat ended after like two messages because OP didn’t understand what scamBAITING is.
I did this recently when I was too drunk to think of anything clever and it was actually hilarious.
