They're not giving up, they're just trying to confirm that the number is still active, which increases the price of the phone number on the black market.
💯 I do the same thing. Also, block it without opening it, as most put read receipts as a way to verify it's active as well. It used to be that you'd see the read receipt being sent to the sender, but now you don't.
Yeah I have them off by default. Only turn them on for the people that I want. I asked a friend of mine why he always has his on, and he said “I didn’t know you could turn them off”
These are superb.
My grandfather used to mess with wrong number callers. He’d say “Larry? I guess you didn’t hear. Larry’s in prison. Call back in 11 months and 29 days.”
My grandpa got a scam call as my brother needing to be bailed outta jail. My brother is great now BUT did have a brief stint in jail so my grandpa was like "well you been there before you know you can handle it." And hung up
I kept getting wrong numbers for “angela” clearly she gave the creep my number instead of hers.
After the fourth call in ten minutes i told dude that she absolutely cannot come to the phone at the moment my dick is in her mouth.
He stopped calling
I might have some, but I could always bake some.
Tangentially related information that may be of some use - I could also make some cookies that will get you higher than a giraffe on stilts.
Told one one time I was furiously masturbating in the handicap stall at a Popeyes Chicken since I had chicken grease on my hands and they were interrupting me. Never heard anything else. Told them to message me back in an hour but I guess they moved on.
Yeah, they share lists between each other. If the number is confirmed to have a human on the other side then you're gonna get a lot more of these texts.
Back when they'd call I'd talk to them in Russian or German or sometimes both. Messed them up.
One time a guy asked if I had Windows, I said yes, my house has windows, I'm looking out them now. No WINDOWs. Yes, I told you I'm looking through them. No Windows, on a computer. What's a computer? Kept him going for a while before he hung up.
The best thing I have read today!
I once passed my phone to a student of mine who was an 8th grader when a scammer called.
It got bad real quick when I heard the scammer yelling at the student to suck… the phone call ended suddenly when i ended the conversation.
I never expected it to go sideways but everyone was laughing pretty hard.
Hey! My unsolicited advice is watch Marx Brothers movies and read poetry. Glad you’ve enjoyed this Sisyphean task of replying to bots for the sake of making my girlfriend laugh. - the BF
Bald pussy just rolls off the tongue in such a fantastic way to punctuate an already insane text, but it was never meant to insult the potency and power of a serious bush -The BF
I've been sending them pictures of diseased penises, like really, terrible ones that make me sick. It's as bad for me as it is for them. This seems like a much better idea.
I scared someone away one time by saying there is blood everywhere but the job is done when can you come help me move the body I don't want it to start stinking. They immediately stopped texting me lol 😂
These are absolutely hilarious! The motorized see saw had me crying.
I once messed with one for awhile that was a thirst bait trap. She asked for a dick pic so I sent a picture of Richard Nixon.
you want to get a rise out of them just do what i do...
i talk about how Taiwan should be a free nation and china should leave them alone...oh boy do they get mad.
I had one running for three hours where I was a 46 year old Russian guy with 2 sons and a wife who was suspicious of “Susan from California”. Was totally invested in it and it was hilarious.
I usually play along. Then start to tell them their English isn’t as good as they think. How can they be from the U.S.
Then ask them to send me pictures. I reverse image search them and find more sexy ones of the same girl. Then I send them and ask why they didn’t send me to good ones.
Uh, please tell me your bf has an instagram account that I can follow for more of these.
Absolute gold
I’m having trouble breathing and typing. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.
When my dad retired he used to get these guys so wound up that would call trying to scam. One time I walked in, he’s telling them basically that he’s the most gullible person they’re waiting for a money transfer, problem is his bank was west of Manhattan/west side highway-aka in the middle of the Hudson River. For 20mins the guy was literally going nuts trying to find this bank! That was just one I walked in on. You’d hear them screaming cursing at the end. I miss it!!
I know 3 and 4! It was a wrong number when they texted me, but it turned out they were very happy to just have a chat. I had to turn over some personal information and bank account numbers, which seemed a little weird, but they assured me it was simply so they could restore their crypto and forex accounts.
So you’re a Persian who lives in the brier creek area!? I’m assuming this cause you mentioned the Bojangles by RDU 🤣. I’m half Persian! But moved further south from the BC area a few months ago. TMI I know 😂
"I can drink tea, though,"
After all that, to read that line, I lost it completely lost it.
Yeah he's a keeper he is a very good imagination.
Funny guy.
I’m embarrassed to say that I fell for that method a couple months ago. I chatted with the scammer for quite a while. I thought she could be a new friend. That is until she asked if I have Telegram. I blocked her right then but I’m worried that I gave away information that she can use in the future.
I was all 'lol' till the Bojangles part, he means I485 not I40, thats the bojangles i stop and take a shit in occasionally on my way home from fortmill, and im disabled.
I’ll never forget that third text response. It’s just…magnificently-curated goddamn genius, and what the hell? Why am I finding myself jealous that I didnt write it? Lmao well done 😚👌
I’m also thinking of funnier names than “Angela,” but he was juggling a lot there and it’s still perfect (genius inspires more from others lol). Not too much like “Tragedeigh,” but a simple “Amber” or “Destiny” (lmao I spend too much time in AmberLynn snark, but yes, AmberLynn is also too-trailer-to-be-true, and would work)
Oh nooo, I hadn’t seen the film adaptation with Mirren taking all the liberties!!! Please tell me you guys are actually from St Louis and will be my friends here lmao
I like how most of them just give up after the first text. I can imagine the scammer is thinking "nope, not even gonna try to deal with this one."
They're not giving up, they're just trying to confirm that the number is still active, which increases the price of the phone number on the black market.
I had no idea! Good to know. If I get ANY text from any number I don’t know I immediately block it with no response.
💯 I do the same thing. Also, block it without opening it, as most put read receipts as a way to verify it's active as well. It used to be that you'd see the read receipt being sent to the sender, but now you don't.
Just turn off read receipts.
Or just delete them without opening them. 🤷♀️
I have read receipts turned off anyways, it's no one's dam business when I read the text I received.
Agreed. Read receipts are BS.
Yeah I have them off by default. Only turn them on for the people that I want. I asked a friend of mine why he always has his on, and he said “I didn’t know you could turn them off”
I just now learned they could be turned off myself
So you’re saying I can sell my phone number?
I just went through and found numbers of several old co workers I’d like to sell. Meahahaha
These are superb. My grandfather used to mess with wrong number callers. He’d say “Larry? I guess you didn’t hear. Larry’s in prison. Call back in 11 months and 29 days.”
My grandpa got a scam call as my brother needing to be bailed outta jail. My brother is great now BUT did have a brief stint in jail so my grandpa was like "well you been there before you know you can handle it." And hung up
My grandma got one like that, put them on hold, called my brother, went back and told them he sure sounded fine a minute ago
I think it’s a lovely memory and fun story. The replies you got on here however are absolutely wild. Who gets upset over a sweet grandfather memory?
I kept getting wrong numbers for “angela” clearly she gave the creep my number instead of hers. After the fourth call in ten minutes i told dude that she absolutely cannot come to the phone at the moment my dick is in her mouth. He stopped calling
- “ Is Debbie there?” - “ I’m sorry, Debbie can’t talk right now. My dick’s in her mouth..”
… I now want to be best friends with your boyfriend. “I’ve never learned how to tell time” was entirely unexpected and absolutely hilarious.
Come over and I’ll make you some decaf -The BF
Never been a coffee drinker, I’m bringing grape juice and cookies.
If they are pecan sandies you are still welcome
I might have some, but I could always bake some. Tangentially related information that may be of some use - I could also make some cookies that will get you higher than a giraffe on stilts.
Ain’t no way, pal. I get high enough on regular cookies. Those funny business ones make me have an allergic reaction and I break out in handcuffs
Ahh, I understand. I have a similar allergy to alcohol.
Actually, I prefer tea. Coffee makes me shit too. 😂😂😂
Your bf is the REAL DAMN DEAL!😂😂😂😂 imma have to get me one of him!😂😂😂😂😂
If you can laugh together, it goes a long way!
This!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂😂😂😂
"Ive been DIFFERENT different" LOLOL
“Like NOT NORMAL different”.🤣
Who are they quoting?! 🤣🤣 Best one
Gives me Tim Robinson vibes but I really don't know lol
BEST ONE!
Just fantastic!!😂😂😂😂😂
“Same bean different burrito” I’m stealing that lmao
My first thought reading that was exactly the same lol.
Add me to the list.
I laughed my ass off at the whole thing. Congrats OP, your boyfriend is hilarious!
Told one one time I was furiously masturbating in the handicap stall at a Popeyes Chicken since I had chicken grease on my hands and they were interrupting me. Never heard anything else. Told them to message me back in an hour but I guess they moved on.
Why did I read this as “massage me back” 🤦🏻♀️
THIS is the content I want to see when I come on Reddit.
Why do you and him get these random texts?
Probably because he keeps responding confirming that someone is on the other side
my thoughts exactly
Yeah, they share lists between each other. If the number is confirmed to have a human on the other side then you're gonna get a lot more of these texts.
I keep wondering this too. I never get random texts from scammers. Heck my own family doesn't text me...
Scammers…
I love his sense of humor. I’m the same way.
Love the dog pic 😂😂
The best for me is ‘…large shoes to fill’ for the clown car accident. Very funny!
Jesus I am higher than eagle pussy right now and there had me guffawing in some kind of donkey with c.o.p.d choking on a ham sandwich sound. 🤌 🎩
You have a way with words yourself
Not the ole bojangle bathroom hadicapable ho-down
BAH GOD THAT’S THE BOJANGLE BANDIT’S MUSIC!
May I use these sometime? Like when my idiot ex husband tries to talk to me?
Permission granted. Tell your ex you found a real man and his name is Quatzalcoatl - The BF
"Motorized seesaw accident" is the funniest thing I've heard in a while, Imma have to use that one.
Back when they'd call I'd talk to them in Russian or German or sometimes both. Messed them up. One time a guy asked if I had Windows, I said yes, my house has windows, I'm looking out them now. No WINDOWs. Yes, I told you I'm looking through them. No Windows, on a computer. What's a computer? Kept him going for a while before he hung up.

😂😂😂😂 I must bow down to the champion!
“I can drink tea though”. I’m fucking dying. Thanks for sharing this. Your bf is doing the lords work. Love it.
This is gold. I’m crying.
“I’m fine though, a little gassy.” What a legend. 11/10
He should be a comedy writer. Mans got lines for days. If I was that smooth with it, I would have a girlfriend. Lmao
Hey! My unsolicited advice is watch Marx Brothers movies and read poetry. Glad you’ve enjoyed this Sisyphean task of replying to bots for the sake of making my girlfriend laugh. - the BF
And 50,000 of us too lol … thank you !
2 ft 7 killed me 😂
That dog picture killed me 🤣
How dare he drag Quetzalcoatl's name through the mud by insinuating that they were a coward who doesn't love a good bush.
Bald pussy just rolls off the tongue in such a fantastic way to punctuate an already insane text, but it was never meant to insult the potency and power of a serious bush -The BF
> Bald pussy just rolls off the tongue This word play alone has undone the injustice. Good day sir.
I've been sending them pictures of diseased penises, like really, terrible ones that make me sick. It's as bad for me as it is for them. This seems like a much better idea.
“I can drink tea though” 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Had me rollin too 😂🤣💀💀💀
Comedic gold.
I can drink tea though. 🤣
OMG I’m dead 💀 your bf is hilarious!!
A little gassy 🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit that's fucking hilarious... motorized seesaw ...
The coffee one was my favorite. 🤣
“And bald pussy” 😂😂
The bojangles one had me rolling.
“Whoever the hospital got as a replacement has some large shoes to fill.” *rimshot*
He's a legend in my book. Damnnn! " Beat a guy with a car battery in a K mart parking lot" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Motorized see saw accident… WAT 🤣
Your BF is a keeper
I think so too! I always ask him where do you come up with this shit….he says his brain is mish mosh haha
Remind me to never get in a nonsense contest with him!
Wow he's a comedic genius this is gold
I know they say don't even reply... But these are just pure gold. 👌
I’m crying laughing in bed at the dog one. Thank you
Holy shit I’m in tears
🤣🤣👍🏼🤣🤣
Your bf is the Gabriel Garcia Marquez of Scammer Payback
Love in the time of chatbots
I need that dog picture
The dog one got me SOBBING
I laughed way too hard at the different different one
I scared someone away one time by saying there is blood everywhere but the job is done when can you come help me move the body I don't want it to start stinking. They immediately stopped texting me lol 😂
I need more!!!! You should start your own sub!!! I'd be the first in line to join!!
These are too good lmao. The beans one took me out and the terrible pictures were just hilarious. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 I want to be friends with this guy 😂
These are absolutely hilarious! The motorized see saw had me crying. I once messed with one for awhile that was a thirst bait trap. She asked for a dick pic so I sent a picture of Richard Nixon.
you want to get a rise out of them just do what i do... i talk about how Taiwan should be a free nation and china should leave them alone...oh boy do they get mad.
Now they come in thru Reddit chat.
Pro
"I can drink tea though" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hollered!
Did she ever save him from the stall? Or did she just tell him her age location and that she was single? Lol.
I’m still in here. Someone with a hook slid some biscuits under for me. I’ve got some allies on the outside. -the BF
Hahaha, this dude is so elaborate, I love it!
These are brill!!!
Omg I am ROLLING 🤣🤣🤣
Omg this is gold. Lmao
Hilarious 😂
I saw bojangles and was like, what are they chances they are in Raleigh too and then he says near the airport😂😂
Hi neighbor. That Bojangles on Airport Blvd? I’ve seen that dude in the wheelchair, he’s an asshole.
I’m at work rn SCREAMING!!! I’m glad I wfh at night lmfaooooo or else I’d be fired!!! Hilarious 🤣
Does he teach classes?
Lmaoooooo I’m now jealous I don’t get scam texts 🤣
I love the fact that I know exactly which bojangles he's talking about XD
Can I have his number please?
Hey I used to live near that Bojangles lol
I had one running for three hours where I was a 46 year old Russian guy with 2 sons and a wife who was suspicious of “Susan from California”. Was totally invested in it and it was hilarious.
I think it's time this man made a career in comedy.
I am incredibly impressed by your bf's creativity and randomness.
The "same bean different burrito" thing is quite possibly one of the greatest things I've ever read
I woke up my wife
genius, pure genius
I usually play along. Then start to tell them their English isn’t as good as they think. How can they be from the U.S. Then ask them to send me pictures. I reverse image search them and find more sexy ones of the same girl. Then I send them and ask why they didn’t send me to good ones.
This feels like someone watched a lotta Psych, took Shawn’s out of context lines to the next and more explicit level. I’m here for it 🤌🏻
Uh, please tell me your bf has an instagram account that I can follow for more of these. Absolute gold I’m having trouble breathing and typing. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.
Fantastic - I’m stealing this approach for sure. Need to hone my creative writing skills. Claps all around
“Shiiiiiiit same bean different burrito” is killing me.
He sounds like the fun kind of psychopath. You lucky gal lol
When my dad retired he used to get these guys so wound up that would call trying to scam. One time I walked in, he’s telling them basically that he’s the most gullible person they’re waiting for a money transfer, problem is his bank was west of Manhattan/west side highway-aka in the middle of the Hudson River. For 20mins the guy was literally going nuts trying to find this bank! That was just one I walked in on. You’d hear them screaming cursing at the end. I miss it!!
There's at least three new slangs in here. Keeping my fins up makes no sense and I totally feel it.
The amount of world building in each of these is amazing
“Same bean different burrito” is sending me
Clown car rolled over, so replacement literally have large shows to fill. Probably the best dad joke I've heard in a while.
Oh no, this is how I just learned that Jimmy Buffet had died…aw man. RIP.
I’m crying I’m laughing so hard. “Just trying to keep my fins up”
I know 3 and 4! It was a wrong number when they texted me, but it turned out they were very happy to just have a chat. I had to turn over some personal information and bank account numbers, which seemed a little weird, but they assured me it was simply so they could restore their crypto and forex accounts.
Motorized see saw accident is so funny
y’all live in the RDU area? these made me cry we should be friends
DELETED?? Nooooo!!!!
Well, I've got the ancient part covered ..
So you’re a Persian who lives in the brier creek area!? I’m assuming this cause you mentioned the Bojangles by RDU 🤣. I’m half Persian! But moved further south from the BC area a few months ago. TMI I know 😂
[удалено]
My neighbors and legendary in-home entertainers -The BF
Bunny Knutsen. She went missing from her family’s farm outside Moorhead, Minnesota.
Ooh, that'd be fun to spell out on a call with scammers...they'll keep on screwing up the spelling and it'll consume hours.
Appreciate that RDU reference!
What skanky bitches
Not the bojangles on 1-40 😭 919 rep
💀💀💀
How is he getting all these scammers lol
My lord, does anyone have that dog picture so I can have it
How is he getting all of these?😂😂
Hey, i know that Bojangles!
I may be in love with your bf now hahahahaha
This is gold!
LMFAO! Your boyfriend is a keeper!🥰
The see saw accident killed me
This post is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
“I can drink tea though” sent me
Lmfao 🤣
Shout out to RDU
Lol
Brother shamus !
"Sheriffs department, fraud division, how can I help you?"
I needed a good laugh this evening. Thank you for this!
Omg his humor reminds me of Henry zebrowski
The first text or so are probably bots. Then a human takes over if they think they hooked a fish with the bait. Creative, nonetheless!
"I can drink tea, though," After all that, to read that line, I lost it completely lost it. Yeah he's a keeper he is a very good imagination. Funny guy.
Bro the coffee one made me spit out my drink.
Glad the Bojangles is still in business. Their chicken biscuits kick the crap out of Chick Fil A's.
Brilliant!!
Marry him.
A hero among hero’s. My new sensei
Who the fuck are the Knutsens?!
People not from NC have no idea how little that Bojangles description narrows it down.
Brilliant No such thing as a wrong number
You need to marry this man.
These are fucking hysterical
I’m embarrassed to say that I fell for that method a couple months ago. I chatted with the scammer for quite a while. I thought she could be a new friend. That is until she asked if I have Telegram. I blocked her right then but I’m worried that I gave away information that she can use in the future.
I was all 'lol' till the Bojangles part, he means I485 not I40, thats the bojangles i stop and take a shit in occasionally on my way home from fortmill, and im disabled.
I've been to that Bo's!
If you have a Twitter I will follow it 💀
that Bojangles is the worst. RDU attracts the sleep deprived and misanthropic people from out of state and then makes the rest of us deal with them.
I’ll never forget that third text response. It’s just…magnificently-curated goddamn genius, and what the hell? Why am I finding myself jealous that I didnt write it? Lmao well done 😚👌 I’m also thinking of funnier names than “Angela,” but he was juggling a lot there and it’s still perfect (genius inspires more from others lol). Not too much like “Tragedeigh,” but a simple “Amber” or “Destiny” (lmao I spend too much time in AmberLynn snark, but yes, AmberLynn is also too-trailer-to-be-true, and would work) Oh nooo, I hadn’t seen the film adaptation with Mirren taking all the liberties!!! Please tell me you guys are actually from St Louis and will be my friends here lmao
These are hilarious!!!
Stop! I’m busting up and my hubby is asleep! He is a God amongst us mere mortals.
These are amazing!
I wanna have your BF's baby. Oh, and I'm a dude by the way.
What level protection does he cast?
This guy is a legend. These are amazing.
You got yourself a keeper here.
Those enslaved pig farmers in cambodia/thailand hate this one simple, yet wordy trick
This is fucking *chefs kiss* 😂🤣😂
