Is there a way to scam an online romance scammer?

[Anonymous]

I was already suspecting he was a scammer and confirmed it today. He gave me a false name, gives excuses of not showing up on cam, he sent me a fake picture and he's not even from the US but from Nigeria. It has 6-7 hours of difference in timezone, too much.

He's been saying the typical ''I love you'' BS liars and scammers say. Obviously I'm going to block him but before I do that, I wish I can get him at his own game. I'm just playing along for now and I ain't giving him a single dime, no money at all. Is there a way to scam them?

I want him to think I've fallen for his trick but I'm actually making a fool out of him. I want to get him. Is there a way to scam him?

Wrap your words in a blanket of lies,
Tailor a tale of a life that never was.
Tell them of a future that could be,
Where love and riches flow endlessly.

Lead them into a web of deceit,
Where trust is taken and nothing is free.
Make promises of happiness and wealth,
To a greedy heart, you'll be hard to outsmart.

Exploit their weaknesses and desires,
Fill their minds with false hopes and lies.
Twisting truth and creating false facts,
To your story they will hold tight and react.

Lure them in with the promise of love,
A "happily ever after" from above.
Pretend to be someone you are not,
Then watch as their dreams come to rot.

Enchant them with stories of far off places,
And tales of exotic beauty and grace.
Then, when their trust is at its peak,
Take what you can and leave without a sound or a squeak.

yeah, I'll start wasting his time now lol

I agree that you should waste his time. Trying to get money from him is gonna be hard; even if you do, chances are that money belonged to another woman he's scammed previously. I would just ask him to do more and more embarassing things, and then shame him for it.

[Asker]

Yeah, I'm doing to start lying now. He wants to waste my time, I'll waste his time and make a fool out of him. Then I'll likely expose him publically on FB or youtube for all to know

[ShiftingMonke]

I support that! I'm sorry you got strung along as far as you did.

[Asker]

I have just started the game with my first lie so far, lol.

[ShiftingMonke]

Oh yeah? How is it going so far?

[Asker]

It's going good until I get bored and then I sent him the pictures of the proof I took that he's a liar and scammer. I think I'll give it 2 weeks.

[ShiftingMonke]

What photos are those?

[Asker]

A photo that says another name and that he's a firefighter with a daughter. He said he has sons, not a daughter. Plus he's a younger man in that picture, younger than supposedly 50 year-old. And a snapshot of the difference in timezones.

[ShiftingMonke]

Ah, that's pretty telling. Good luck with that.

[Sour-rose]

Play along and waste his time so... sooooo so much. It burns scammers from inside

[Asker]

Cool

[douride2]

Simply just keep leading him on but give him nothing.

[Asker]

Yeah I'll continue doing that, let him waste his own time

[douride2]

Like those spam callers on the phone. When I get one on the line I waste as much of their time as I can.

Scam them how exactly? Like take money from them? Because that'd be illegal and make you the scammer. If you want you could just string them along. Waste as much of their time as possible.

[Asker]

I wish but if they're scammer, they aren't going to fall for it themselves lol. But yes now I feel like wasting his time. I want to make a fool out of him.

[Rat_Boy]

Some scammer called my parents and I pretended to be them while they tried to guide me on the computer. I was inept as possible until they got so frustrated they hung up on me

[Asker]

Nice. I actually like this video of how to fool a scammer, lol

[Asker]

They deserved getting their time wasted

[Rat_Boy]

At the least, yeah.

[Asker]

Cool. The game with him just started. I started with my first lie, lol.

Looks like he's ghosting me. He even posts here on this site too.

The best revenge is no revenge. The best revenge is to smile at hatred. To stifle your anger and show them that you can be happy.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Enough said. You might be mature enough to decide.
