Sending a virus to scammers
I'm probably way behind on this, but the car registration change thread got mt to thinking why aren't we buying a virus to send to the scammers? Gotta be able to catch a few off guard. Wouldn't that be satisfying.
If you haven't watched this guy, it's pure entertainment (and it's a commercial about 5 min so be forewarned). Spoiler: it's about sending play money to be laundered. You may have seen plenty of those already. Entertainment. https://youtu.be/JgToEnJKRtA |

I've been getting less scammer calls lately. I'm wondering if I've been placed on a list as a waste of time? Maybe they're being busted? Months ago I'd get 6-8 calls a day. Yesterday only one.

What?

I answer phone scammer calls with this..."Special Agent Holden McGroin, how may I help you?"
Usually I just get a hang up. Once though, they chuckled, then hung up.

Years ago when I would talk to live callers I would play along until it became time to give my name and address. I kept it going for as long as I could to waste their time. Then I'd say I'm Asian even though I don't have an Asian accent so I'll spell my name first.
"U. Sūc Mee" After they wrote it down different things would happen, all funny. |

Go to youtube...search for "scammer payback". This guy is amazing...gets into scammer computers, deletes their files as they believe they have a victim on the hook, calls victims the scammer have on the phone, and more.
