Mine is joining sovereign citizen Facebook groups and giving them bogus advice. It’s hilarious what I can convince them of (just harmless stuff like using certain stamps and ink colours and nonsense like that).
Think you mentioned that yesterday, made me ponder.
Perhaps someone knows why, while it’s obviously quite funny, it… doesn’t quiteee sit exactly right with me…
Maybe it’s like when a comedian punches down. Or maybe I’m assuming a number of them have legitimate mental deficiencies (schizophrenia? learning disabilities?).
Hey I bet you’d be really good at wasting scammers’ time. Like Kitboga! Would love to see you running the Lemmy version of 419eater :)
Every minute the scammer I’m communicating with is spending on me is a minute he is not scamming a real potential victim.
FWIW I scam white supremacists on a daily basis. They all think I’m their friend and I’m really the person getting their social media accounts blown up. :)
Yes! I will reply very seriously to one of their stupid questions something like that they need to submit the T.298.101 form to their local notarizing deputy attorney using a fox postal stamp in red ink, with a codicil appending the 1099A, and they are like “oh ok”, and then my messenger request is full of questions from sovcits haha.
The poor person working behind whatever desk they bring it too. Not completely harmless, if it’s mailed, absolutely, but if they have to interact with a human, I feel bad for that human.

How can I participate as an audience member? 🍿 You on YouTube?
No, I just have a Facebook alt I scam them with. You can message me privately and we can talk about adding you so you can observe.
Appreciate the offer but the less time I spend on Facebook the happier I am. Thank you!
Hey I can definitely put my efforts towards that.
You mean like this sort of thing? I’m appalled at how easy it is for me to believe they’d go for something like this. 😁
“Bring in your documentation unsigned and tell them you used invisible ink. They have to accept it.”

As opposed to the legitimate legal advice usually seen in sovcit facebook groups :)
It’s really about on par.
My wife & I are thinking it’s a conspiracy to make sure the dumbest criminals stay incarcerated.
haaaaa 😂 I want to see captures !!!
The fox stamp is the idea my friend and I have sold them on.
