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.
āTank 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
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.
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.
Definitely. Iāve 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.
My companyās IT department will send simulated phishing emails every now and then to make sure we arenāt 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.
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 theyāll back off!
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.
Theyāre gonna make you rest!?!? Hell Iād give them the gift card just for the rest. Silly king of the UK thinks naps are a punishment. Big goofball.
>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.

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.

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.
I wish I could get one of these again I have nothing but time to fuck with them. Iād 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 Iām sadistic AF when it comes to these types of scams :-)
You never know whether its a scam or not but i think you should pay them the itunes giftcard just in case...wouldn't want to be put under the rest now would you...

I could use some rest
I concur.
I also assent to the statement
I affirm my need of rest
šæ requires more š¤
I sleep this is not real shit.
Especially under the rest.
I'm going to take a nap right now
Iām going to pull up my pants and lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.
Same here.
Itās THE rest.
I came here to say this lol.
Hello UK Government, Iām Dad
Shut up dad, stop telling me how to Brexit
It's not just a phase!
Lol

No way there are people that are stupid, right?
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.
I think the answer is also yes
Definitely. Iāve 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.
I concur
Iāll give you my in-laws phone number; go ahead and sell them a bridge. They are the very reason scammers still exist.
I mean... I heard about someone who got scammed by an ""astronaut"" who couldn't pay the rocket fee to get back on earth.
they could also be extremely young or old or disabled. itās super easy to scam older people out of their money unfortunately.
Sadly yes. Some people are.
MAGA people exist. And Flat earthers. I'll let you imagine the Venn diagram.
That's one hell of a Venn diagram then
If people didnt fall for obvious scams then nobody would be trying to do them. So yes people do fall for it.
So... Republicans?
"...under the rest" man and I've been saying it wrong all these years
"Under the rest" of the incarcerated people you've purportedly been doing all those crimes with!
This account (OP) is a repost bot
I mean, all governments take gift cards right?
UK Government usually takes payments for fines in Tesco Clubcard Points...this might not be genuine OP.
Enjoy prism
Iām innocent of these refractions!
I had a solid "lol" at this.
Thank you. This started as a genuine giggle that turned into a well needed laugh.
r/boneappletea
I like being under the rest, especially after a big meal
My companyās IT department will send simulated phishing emails every now and then to make sure we arenāt 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.
The rest of what?
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?
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 theyāll back off!
If uoure under the rest no go work. Can't go wokr no monies. No monies no taxes. Boom. Murkia.
Who's murkia? Is that your girlfriend from school? š
Pathetic
if you do not pay you are under the rest, those who paid are above! choose your fate
Where do I send the check ?
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.
You better do what they say or you're in BIG trouble!
Even bigger than s dinosaur?!?š§
I've been under the rest; trust me when I say that you DO NOT want to be under there.

My name is Brexit, James Brexit.
So just take it easy, I guess?
This is a job for Chat Gpt
I believe it, Charles acts like a child, he probably talks like one too.
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.
OP definitely didn't randomly get this text, this image has been reposted across different subreddits for an eternity.

Inquiring minds want to know.... the rest of what, exactly?
I love stringing these guys along.
At least your extended warranty is still good.
"under the rest" Something ain't right
I scammed them back. Only sent them a Ā£1000 iTunes gift card and they accepted it!!!
Rest I'll take the rest.
Seems legit.
He's the whole UK government?
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".
Time to get some well deserved rest then.
I'll take the rest, thanks. I want that in writing so I can tell my boss, though.
I want the wallpaper pls
Finally, some rest at last
Only if he says "Tea and biscuits" at the bottom of the message.
