With all the stories about Facebook abusing their users in the news lately, here's evidence that users can fight back and have fun along the way. After being bombarded on Facebook with "Friends" requests from total strangers for years, and feeling a little bored, I started approving any and all Friends requests. In a couple of days I had over a thousand new Friends, 99% of them scamming me for money. It took only an instant to turn Facebook into my latest entertainment source. Occasionally some of the scam artists figured out that I was "counterscamming" and ended the conversation. Here are some of the conversations to lighten up your day...

Im laughing just imagining it.

Ive really been entertaining myself in a vaguely similar way.

Somehow my cellphone number showed up online with my friends name attached to it. Since then Ive been getting all kinds of scam calls.

Car/health insurance con artists are the most common. Its usually someone who doesnt really speak English reading from a script. I give them enough vague and misleading answers to get passed to “a licenced agent” who sounds American. I drag the calls out until I get bored. Then I start telling them about “my familys fungal infections”. When they ask for more I go into how I was doing some engineering for my clients from Beta Brahe and we all developed aggressive infections. I explain that the myconids cant help me because they would be murdering their family. The really greedy ones keep pushing for the right answers and I just keep rambling until I break down laughing at them so hard they hang up.

It has seemed to have an effect though, after you waste enough of their time after a couple of calls they take you off their list. Thats ok, there never seems to be enough victims anymore for mr to gaslight.

(I litterally laughed the whole time I was posting this thinking of all the clowns whos chains Ive yanked. Thanks for a fun afternoon.)

...

Somtimes I get to the point where Im explaining that I have the funds but theyre going to have to wait for me to pay. This is where many seem to start paying attention,”Why?” “Because myconids pay in spores and Im having a rough time finding someone to convert them to Terran currencies.”

LMFAO!
