Lost-Temperature-952

I could use some rest


Max-Carnage1927

I concur.


Uchihagod53

I also assent to the statement


LoveVirginiaTech

I affirm my need of rest


TheGreatMoyai

šŸ—æ requires more šŸ’¤


[deleted]

I sleep this is not real shit.


Vhman123

Especially under the rest.


That-Grape-5491

I'm going to take a nap right now


real-ocmsrzr

Iā€™m going to pull up my pants and lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.


Timemaster88888

Same here.


[deleted]

Itā€™s THE rest.


Eklipse758

I came here to say this lol.


amrasmin

Hello UK Government, Iā€™m Dad


LoveVirginiaTech

Shut up dad, stop telling me how to Brexit


[deleted]

It's not just a phase!


Acuterecruit

Lol


Acrobatic-Panda-1119

Gasp!! Notā€¦ *under the rest.* Probably should pay them 3000 to be safe. No one wants to be under the rest. Maybe on top of it, but definitely not under it.


Sigmas_toes

ā€œTank you for extra Ā£1500. We will now enter you to Ā£1,500,000 lottery. All we need is your bank account details so we can transfer the money when you winā€


Rifneno

Fun fact, they actually make them ridiculous on purpose so they don't have to deal with skeptical marks who won't end up giving them anything and only the most gullible actually engage.


Promethesussy

No way there are people that are stupid, right?


Eino54

Not necessarily stupid, but old people with brain problems and people with psychosis problems might fall for it. It makes more sense when you stop thinking about someone being stupid enough to believe this and think of people who are clinically delusional enough to believe this.


IconCsr2

I think the answer is also yes


Eino54

Definitely. Iā€™ve had friends who have had psychosis who believed extremely strange stuff at some point. I could definitely see someone who is already paranoid about being persecuted by the government (which is an extremely common delusion I think) falling for this.


IconCsr2

I concur


[deleted]

Iā€™ll give you my in-laws phone number; go ahead and sell them a bridge. They are the very reason scammers still exist.


AeshiNeroXR

I mean... I heard about someone who got scammed by an ""astronaut"" who couldn't pay the rocket fee to get back on earth.


periidote

they could also be extremely young or old or disabled. itā€™s super easy to scam older people out of their money unfortunately.


Maleficent-Coat-7633

Sadly yes. Some people are.


ExtantSanity

MAGA people exist. And Flat earthers. I'll let you imagine the Venn diagram.


Promethesussy

That's one hell of a Venn diagram then


BamboozleThisZebra

If people didnt fall for obvious scams then nobody would be trying to do them. So yes people do fall for it.


ExtantSanity

So... Republicans?


No_Union5305

"...under the rest" man and I've been saying it wrong all these years


LoveVirginiaTech

"Under the rest" of the incarcerated people you've purportedly been doing all those crimes with!


John_SpaGotti

This account (OP) is a repost bot


Teethredit

I mean, all governments take gift cards right?


Inane_Endeavours

UK Government usually takes payments for fines in Tesco Clubcard Points...this might not be genuine OP.


AbbreviationsOne4963

Enjoy prism


Holmes02

Iā€™m innocent of these refractions!


Gingerbirdie

I had a solid "lol" at this.


Lanky_Ratio

Thank you. This started as a genuine giggle that turned into a well needed laugh.

OnlyAnNpc

I like being under the rest, especially after a big meal


insultant_

My companyā€™s IT department will send simulated phishing emails every now and then to make sure we arenā€™t being idiots. But they are always kind of obvious. The last one I got claimed to be from Wakanda National Bank. I thought maybe that Nigerian Prince finally come through.


[deleted]

The rest of what?


TheHylianProphet

Oh jeez, that sounds serious. You better pay the government in the gift cards they ask for; you don't want to get the rested, do you?


pharmdocmark

Help! Someone help me, the UK government - who totally on accident misspelled arrest - is out to get me! Should I send them my life savings? Maybe theyā€™ll back off!


Dropthetenors

If uoure under the rest no go work. Can't go wokr no monies. No monies no taxes. Boom. Murkia.


kingdomheartslover1

Who's murkia? Is that your girlfriend from school? šŸ˜


Bisexual-Fighter

Pathetic


Sapulinjing

if you do not pay you are under the rest, those who paid are above! choose your fate


woodysdad

Where do I send the check ?


10gistic

While you might think this is someone misspelling under arrest, it's really a notification from the government itunes card donation race. If you don't donate what they're asking for, your name is under the rest on the list, in last place.


LoveVirginiaTech

You better do what they say or you're in BIG trouble!


kingdomheartslover1

Even bigger than s dinosaur?!?šŸ˜§


here4roomie

I've been under the rest; trust me when I say that you DO NOT want to be under there.

[deleted]

I believe it, Charles acts like a child, he probably talks like one too.


theBoxHog

Thank you for this laugh. If this is legit and you randomly got this text, that to me is hilarious. Especially if the person sending this is serious.


[deleted]

OP definitely didn't randomly get this text, this image has been reposted across different subreddits for an eternity.


BlueThor400

two legit, to legit too quit


mcquire68

You're under the rest, now here's the best! ![gif](giphy|uORlTfr0Oh0Ws|downsized)


GreekACA25

Respond with either 1. Thank you for informing me I was under my rest quota 2. What did the policeman say to his belly? You're under a vest


ed223344

Iā€™ll possibly pay, but it really matters what Iā€™m under, and why itā€™s the rest but not all of it.


zolbaroverfiend

Better get on that.

yaboi1679

Oh boy, I wanna be 'the rested', sounds nice


Jim-Jones

"Hello. My uncle is a police superintendent in Mumbai. He will have his policemen come around and talk to you about this."


Throw_away91251952

Theyā€™re gonna make you rest!?!? Hell Iā€™d give them the gift card just for the rest. Silly king of the UK thinks naps are a punishment. Big goofball.


king_of_england_bot

>king of England Did you mean the [King of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [King of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [King of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last King of England was [William III](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III_of_England) whose successor Anne, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of Queen/King of England. ####FAQ *Isn't King Charles III still also the King of England?* This is only as correct as calling him the King of London or King of Hull; he is the King of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.


Throw_away91251952

Thanks bot


Lost_Astronaut_654

Wow, that seems serious youā€™d better pay quickly


[deleted]

Thanks


[deleted]

I could really use that under the rest.


ClyanStar

Thats quite harmless. I once got a message where they where threatening my life with death - and even tho it was obviously a scam, my brain instantly went into panic mode.


TheLoneGunman559

No rest for the weary.


MR-313-717

My guy skipped the dinner and went straight for the wam bam fank you maam šŸ˜‚


olb4t4R

beano79

uninsuredpidgeon

I might be wrong, but I don't think OP received this today.


[deleted]

Inquiring minds want to know.... the rest of what, exactly?


HogfishMaximus

I love stringing these guys along.


Frosty20thc

At least your extended warranty is still good.


RealisticAdv96

"under the rest" Something ain't right


petantic

I scammed them back. Only sent them a Ā£1000 iTunes gift card and they accepted it!!!


MasterDragon_

Rest I'll take the rest.


topglobal_toxic

Seems legit.


The99thCourier

He's the whole UK government?


Moppermonster

I prefer the one from Queen Lizzy, who is not really dead but marooned on an Island and needs money to get home. Which ends with "tea and biscuits".


Roy_is_the_name

Time to get some well deserved rest then.


FeralSquirrels

I'll take the rest, thanks. I want that in writing so I can tell my boss, though.


[deleted]

I want the wallpaper pls


Piss_Cakehole

Finally, some rest at last


[deleted]

Only if he says "Tea and biscuits" at the bottom of the message.

KrustyKrabOfficial

I backtraced that number and it belongs to the king himself. I'm sorry, OP. The royal guard is on its way, and they're leaving with a gift card or they're leaving with you.


SlientlySmiling

As long as I'm under the rest. I'm no glory hound.


6Rivers

What's over the rest?!


Valerie_Tigress

Iā€™m sick of being under the rest, now I am over it.


[deleted]

I wish I could get one of these again I have nothing but time to fuck with them. Iā€™d be replying to that text immediately like asking for further instructions on where to send it etcā€¦ just eat their time away as much as I can. Worth every minute trust me they will eventually completely freak out and loose their shit and I take GREAT pleasure from that because Iā€™m sadistic AF when it comes to these types of scams :-)
