"Do it, I have a humiliation fetish, make me cum daddy ๐คค๐ค๐ฅบ"
Scammers are never prepared for that one. I do this to those spam emails that say "I'VE HACKED YOUR COMPUTER, PAY ME BITCOIN OR I RELEASE WEBCAM VIDEOS"
so far I've yet to have one call my bluff after I've called theirs.
If you reply to a spam message then the spammer will know that they have a valid address.

I have gotten fewer spam messages when I respond with other spam messages I have received. They think they got another spam number and remove it. If its a call, sometimes Ill answer, and mute the line so they cannot hear anything. I just wait it out, I don't get repeat calls after a few of those. if the person setting up the call system is caused any form of financial damage or risk for me tying up their lines, and costing them both literal money per minute as well as missed opportunity to scam some old person, I don't mind doing a little here and there. As a treat.
Good for them, they've yet to get anything else out of me but my contempt but they're welcome to keep trying; my spam filter usually works anyways so the only time I even get to see these messages is when I have to check my spam folder for something.
Crazy how so many people seem to ha e Webcam videos of me despite me not having a Webcam.
When did they sneak into my bedroom???
That's a misunderstanding on you. They took videos of a Webcam just sitting there on top of a monitor.
That's hot. Keep going.
Scandalous!
You're talking to computer programs and wondering why they don't call your bluff?
You have my webcam videos? Amateur. I'll give you a live show if you want.
Just send a pic back. No other reaponse.
Better yet, set up a script to just constantly send dick picks back at all hours, at random.
Idk about "never prepared" so much as "getting this shit constantly and finding it annoying".
Shit's so farmed out anyway. There isn't some singular guy who is manually typing out ransom demands for random shit. There's a call center in a bombed over region of Kyiv or a slave compound in the Philippines where some schlub sitting in front of a dozen ipads is being whipped until they send 100 texts a minute.
Then all these places are being replaced by even more shitty and incoherent AI datacenter virtualizations anyway.
The thing is, they're looking for the stupid people.
If you're smart, you might get scammed out of a couple hundred bucks. Maybe in the low thousands if they're very lucky.
When you're stupid, you can end up selling your house to give money to the scammers because you've bought into the scam.
And I don't mean stupid as in low intellectual capacity, I mean stupid as in, you have not been educated on what scams look like, what they feel like, or how they act.
When I lived in Florida, this old woman hit the news because scammers called her claiming to be the police and they asked her to help them with a case by putting $5000 of her own money in a paper bag and leaving it at a shopping mall. She did this so they called her again and said they almost got the guy but that they wanted her to leave another five grand in a paper sack at the mall. So she did it again. She only ended up calling the police because the scammers called her a third time and when she left the paper bag full of money nobody came to get it. They must have figured at that point that nobody could possibly be that gullible and lost their nerve.
