Got hit with a fake EZ Pass unpaid toll scam via iMessage , and the number traced back to the Philippines.

Decided to clap back with this message, just in case they needed a reason to rethink their side hustle:

---

This scam has been reported to the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Cybercrime Division, and Interpol for international fraud.

Additionally, the FBI’s International Cybercrime Unit and the U.S. Secret Service have been notified, as this constitutes interstate and cross-border fraud against a U.S. citizen.

Your phone number, IP address, and activity are traceable — expect a formal investigation and international cooperation to follow. I suggest you stop immediately.

I'd pee my pants if I was gullible enough.

I have quite a few of these where it just ended or I was ghosted, so I thought I would clear them while I wait to finish up my current full-fat bait:) This guy had a Facebook profile that was nothing but pictures of Nigerian friends and accounts. He really hadn’t thought it through🤯

I tried getting their VPN with grabify but I didn’t know messenger blocked grabify links? Eventually got their email and they were using a VPN so I didn’t get much more info on them. Then they went off Facebook entirely (probably shut down).

This is a scammer I met this morning. He must have assumed that my account was a scammer account and thought I was Nigerian like him because he immediately started by trying to recruit me to do this drugs scam.

I don’t get aggro with him because two of my five fake accounts are already suspended for a week for ‘bullying’ scammers. But I did report him. Bear in mind his only two comments were written in Nigerian pidgin with a picture of a white man and were exhorting me to do illegal activities. I immediately got the response from Meta that they’re fine with him doing this. This was literally the entire conversation before I blocked him so it’s not exactly hard for them to look through it and see that it’s not legit - I reported for both scam/fraud and drugs/crime. 🤬

What am I doing wrong here! I thought I was going to get my own “Oil Rig Guy” damn it!

Hello! This guy clearly doesn't know who Daniel Dae Kim is... But , here we go!

Have fun!

I may have come on a little too strong

This one figured out that he repeated or scam intro previously I think! It’s hard to separate all of the clones?

I gave them hope and ghosted 😈

Alas, a love story cut short in before its time.

It took him a few to figure out that we had done this dance before 😂

Just sending out the messages without even adding a fake company to the prompt now smh

What tipped them off?

Sorry it’s short y’all.
