I don't want the scammers to go to jail. I want them to be in my little dungeon. I'll pull all their fingernails out and waterboard them. I'll hit them with hammers on all their little fingers and toes. I'll pinch their nipples with plyers. I'll pull their teeth. I'll make them walk on Legos barefoot. This could go on for years. Why, well because I can't even use my own phone that I pay for, for years. My phone is actually just an internet connection. It's also because they attack people out of the blue that never did a thing to them.

The only way to stop a scammer getting your phone number/email address is to not let ANYONE have it. Ever sent an email? That person now has your email address, so if they're compromised, your email is out there. Ever signed up to a website with that address? They have your email, and now so does anyone that gets access to their database, which happens a lot.
The only way to not get spam calls/emails is to not get ANY calls/emails.

I'm not sure how to feel about those glitterbombs and cockroaches at call centres. Ultimately, the bosses won't really care about that at all and while the individual foot soldiers might not be the most ethical of people, it's usually not like they have many other job options. If you were to send stinkbombs to every profession that is forced by their bosses to do unethical stuff, there will be no one left smelling like roses.

Just a quick correction. At around 7: 00, the reply tweet says Jimbrowning11 is the godfather of scamming. This should read the godfather of SCAMBAITING. If you found this video interesting, you should spend 3 days watching all of Jim Brownings videos. He basically started the genre of SCAMBAITING. Great video.

I'm very good with my data hiding. Then I have friends putting my data on their phones, allowing whats app to crawl and upload data for example or getting viruses. That's unfair when you're surrounded by dumb people not thinking in spectrum, makes you kind a helpless even if you're are very careful.

Occasionally I get a spam call asking to speak to 'Me' regarding a recent motor vehicle accident and I tell them I have to go get him because he's in the garden or whatever. I play a game to keep them on the phone as long as possible with the fewest words because they will never offer to call back.

Kinda whack that they were gonna shoot you. I didn t like the idea of scammers financially crippling old/vulnerable folks, but physical violence is another level of nuttery that just seems like it warrants a less diplomatic form of retaliation than cockroaches and stink spray

Such a pleasant surprise to see Art and Ashton here! Keep up the fight against those low-life scammers! I remember absolutely dying laughing watching the one where they talk to the apartment scammer about breeding aliens in the basement, truly scammer trolling at it's finest

I've all but stopped answering my phone if it's not already a saved number. On the flip side, I created a contact named 'No Caller ID' (phone number 000-000-0000) and blocked it. Now my phone won't allow any calls that would show up as 'No Caller ID'.

My mom is in her late 70 s and I remind her all the time to never give out her information.
Happy Mother s Day Mom. Remember never give anyone your info!
Merry Christmas, Mom! Don t forget, never give out any information!

BE CAREFUL!
ROBOKILLER asks for your phone number and email address BEFORE they advise you that their minimum charge is 5. 99 per month.
There is nothing to safeguard you against them selling your data after you decline the offer.

As an Indian I feel very sorry for all the people scammed by the scumbags in our country. Our Judicial system is flawed, the police and laws takes ages to take action. The only way to fight against scams is to spread awareness.

Maybe it's just me, but I would have so much fun being a professional scam fighter. I feel like I may have been born to do this
Yet I usually ignore phone calls even when I know who's calling lol

When I used to live in the U. S they told me I go to jail because of my social security number. I was there on a student visa and didn't even have a social security number. hahaha
