My mom AND my ex fell for that shyt. Dudes calling from india or wherever tellin folks that they work for microsoft and sent them to a website like microsoft.link or microsoft.info talking about "See? We're legit!"

Told them they had malware and viruses because they downloaded something illegally them told them to open task manager and look at the processes tab.

"do you see all of that stuff running that you don't have open? That's all viruses!!! "

My daft ass mother told them I did it and was doing illegal stuff all the time online and to call back when I was there.

Had a boy back in the day that had a nice little hustle seling cartons of cigarettes in NY. This was back in like 2000/2001 but Newport's had a cellophane wrapper with a logo on it, and those were the only cigarettes that were allowed to be sold in the city. So he scanned the image, ml modified it in Photoshop, then would get the cigarettes rewrapped with his logo on it.

He'd buy cartons of Newport's from the south for like $5 then send up to NY to sell for like $20 or some shyt.

Dude had all types of hustles, fake credit cards, fake drivers licenses, fake social security cards, fake court documents. Dude was a hustler for real for real

Yup that's them, those fukking slimes got me like twice on my old laptop cause I was scared to let my mom know I was downloading music & movies. Then when they started that same shyt with my new computer I had kaperskey on it so I knew I was good. I spend like a good 30 minutes fukking with them everytime I can. Saying random shyt like 'I knew I shouldn't have let my dog do that live webcast. Damn all I wanted was some Spreewells with the spinners that spin when I move & they only sold them in Nigeria... So you think it happened cause I was on ?? '

Thread reminds me of this classic post

Reminds me of when I tried to start my own pyramid scheme. .


I printed out 500 flyers advertising a work from home job offer (with the cut off numbers). Said they could make up to 300 to 500 a weak easy. I got a prepaid phone to use as the number. When people called the heard a message about making money "blah, blah, blah". To get started all they had to do is mail a check for $10 and their contact info to a po box for further details.


When they mail the check I would mail them back a letter with the follow instructions.



Make about 200 flyers a weeks and post them shyts in as many locations as you can advertising a work from home offer. I told them emphasize how much one could make working part time. I told them to buy prepaid phone and leave a message instructing them to mail 10 bucks to your address "preferable a po box". If someone sends in the money, I would tell them to write them back with instructions on what I just told them to do



In one summer I made about $5000. I was only 19 so that was a lot of money to me. I figured it was illegal so eventually I got scared and stopped.

I remember one of my friends came to work bragging how he just got a good deal. He said he was in the parking lot of the grocery store and some guy said he had an extra speaker system that wasn't a part of his inventory. Supposedly, these speakers had a MSRP of like $5,000. He even showed my friend a magazine that had the speakers in them with the price of $5,000. This young lad was so nice that he was willing to sell my friend these speakers for the low low price of $400. Unfortunately, my friend wasn't too interested and only had $250 on him anyway. The guy hesitated for a moment but since he was so nice, he agreed to sell them to my friend for the 250. He came to work poking his chest out and talking about how he is going to flip the speakers on eBay. We all go into research mode and find out that they got him with the white van speaker scam. They speakers really aren't worth more than 50 bucks. He didn't want to accept it when we told him but he eventually admitted that he got scammed. It was funny going over his house because he ended up using the speakers in his living room since he still couldn't accept that he got fukked over.

Another story I got was about 23 years ago. There was some dude outside the grocery store selling TVs. He had a few boxes of the Tvs and then one TV out on display. My mom wanted one so she negotiated and got him to sell one for $150. We loaded the TV in the car and went home. We get it in the living room, open the box, and.............................................we all stare in silence at a big ass rock. I don't even know how he found a rock that big. It looked like the rock on that movie with the sword stuck in it. Anyway, my mom got her pistol and went back to the store but by that time, the dude was long gone.
